Last week three films released. 1921, Mukkabaaz and Kaalakaandi hit the theatres riding to too little no buzz. Saif Ali Khan’s quirky and trippy feel was expected to get people to check it out but bad execution ruined its chances at the box office. Mukkabaaz got a lot of applause from critics but numbers stayed on the lower side. It is only 1921 which managed to keep the faith shown on such genre intact. It has the best first week numbers among the three. 1921 has earned Rs 11.58 crore in seven days!

Taran Adarsh revealed the numbers saying, “#1921Movie had the best Week 1 amongst new releases… Held STRONGLY on weekdays… Fri 1.56 cr, Sat 2.09 cr, Sun 2.80 cr, Mon 1.62 cr, Tue 1.31 cr, Wed 1.12 cr, Thu 1.06 cr. Total: ₹ 11.58 cr. India biz.” As you can see, the film saw good trending throughout the week. Keeping the business to a steady Rs 1 crore or more in the weekdays is a task many big films couldn’t perform last year. There is a section of audience who loves Indian horror movies. Thus, this Zareen Khan and Karan Kundrra film has managed to make a lot of money at the box office. Check out the figures right here…

We are still waiting for Kaalakaandi’s latest figures but on last count, the film had earned only Rs 5.30 crore. Guess the filmmaker Vikram Bhatt’s rant on Facebook work for the film. He said he is a B-grade fear seller and is proud of it.
