New Delhi: Akshay Kumar starrer BABY has caught the pace at box office and by weekend the movie has collected impressive Rs 36.07 cr nett in India.
According to trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh, the movie has showed a brilliant jump on Sunday and has garnered Rs 15.60 cr nett in India. “Baby continues its forward march. Collects Rs 15.60 cr on Sun”, tweets Adarsh.
Being a Republic Day holiday, a further rise in its collection is expected, which should take movie's box office figures beyond Rs 50 cr mark and that would be victorious for this Neeraj Pandey's directorial.
“Today ⎦ Jan] should deliver big numbers again as word of mouth is super”, wrote Adarsh on his Twitter account.
On the other hand, despite getting decent reviews, Sonam Kapoor starrer Dolly Ki Doli couldn't fetch much audience. The comedy-caper, which also stars Rajkumar Rao, Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, has just managed to garner nearly Rs 10.75 cr by its first weekend, according to a leading website Bollywood Hungama.
The Arbaaz Khan production has not much to be criticized but is just suffering from bigger competitor at the box office. Being a patriotic flick, which shows how to counter terrorism, BABY is given thumbs up by all the critics and with Republic Day celebration it was to be viewers' first choice.
Dolli Ki Doli, which is moving sluggishly at box office won't be able to make much collection in the coming days. The extended weekend has worked is favour of BABY but the same is not in the case of Abhishek Dogra's directorial.
This week we'll witness Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt's production ‘Khamoshiyan' and Ayushmann Khurrana's ‘Hawaizaada', which if doesn't get good response, will favour BABY and that would increase its chances to enter Rs 100 cr club too.
