Madgaon Express collected 1.50 crore nett which is an okay collection for a non cast film but it has come with a buy one get one free offer so its about what the film is doing when there is no offer. Also these films are about what is happening post the weekend with the weekends giving strong enough trajectory.

The film has done decent in Mumbai circuit with around 50% of the all India collections coming from the circuit but this was likely as it looked a film mainly for this circuit. It looks like Hangover meets Dil Chahta Hai so that story itself will not relate much in North, Central and East India.

The fact that writers and directors today in 2024 are influenced by a film like Dil Chahta Hai pretty much sums up the messed up situation in the industry. Much has been said here before about this but its a blind industry where bad becomes good and good becomes bad and that is why the industry is in a huge struggle today and there looks no end in sight.

Back to Madgaon Express it is depending on Mumbai circuit and as mentioned before if this was last year you could write it off but with centres like Pune and Thane really collecting well now maybe these centres can take the film somehwre if they hold on in the long run. Outside Mumbai and maybe South it will struggle..

The other release Swatantrya Veer Savarkar collected 1 crore nett with a huge bulk of the collections also coming from Mahrashtra. The film is mainly a Hindi release with only a few shows in Marathi. This can also be said to be an okay collections for this cast and zone of the film but if Madgaon Express had the buy one get one offer then this film had bookings from maybe schools or companies to bolster the collections. This was not feeding but probably shows taken out to educate about the character. This film has less  to offer outside Maharashtra then even Madgaon Express and again depends on Mumbai circuit.
