Yodha had a poor first week of 22.75 crore nett after a 16.25 crore nett weekend. The film did not role down the cliff on the weekdays which can easily happen to a film of this genre but the damage was done on the first day itself. A film of this genre needs a near miracle to survive after only putting up a 4 crore nett number on day one.

The film had the buy one get one free offer on Saturdaya nd Sunday but it was of minimal help. The film saw a Monday drop but has not dropped much after. if Friday can hold like Thursday it can get some respectable trend but with Shaitaan going strong and the new release having buy one get one free that will be a tall order.

The industry has so far seen maybe 8-9 releases this year and two films have been based around airplanes. There is another one come at the end of the month which will mean 3 airplane based films out of the dozen or so main releases in the first quarter.

It is difficult to remember a plane based HIT film. Gumnaam (1965) comes to mind but that was an era when films based on anything were done in the commercial potboiler way and filled with the commercial elements. It is probably coincidence that these films are all coming at the same time but today films have to go raw and rustic and setting them around airplanes will hardly allow movies to have that rawness which can penetrate in the circuits..  The collections of Yodha for the first week are as follows.

Friday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
