Maidaan collected an extremely dull 21 crore nett in its extended first weekend which includes paid previews on Thursday. The film saw a huge jump on Saturday when collections went ahead of its national holiday number but then on Sunday it was pretty much flat as collections in mass pockets are not moving.

The film had to jump better on Sunday to give it a better chance of a run but its tough when the Sunday collections only get a little above 6 crore nett. The film has gone well over budget but even if this was did not happen the problem is the film is niche and for a limited audience.

The film needs to hold at the Friday level for some sort of run but with Sunday not going up it is very difficult for the film to to be just 50% down from Sunday. Also even if the run comes it will not be for success but it can show the film has some appreciation with that limited urban crowd. The collections of Maidaan till date are as follows.

Wednesday (Paid Previews) - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 4,00,00,000 apprx 

Friday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,85,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 21,00,00,000 apprx
