Hindi
movie
Khiladi
786
starring
Akshay
Kumar
and
Asin
in
leads
has
surpassed
Rs
50
crore
mark
at
the
domestic
Box
Office
in
India
in
the
first
week.
But
it
is
absolutely
not
a
bad
performance
also.
The
much-hyped
masala
entertainer
has
done
wonderful
business
at
single
screens
across
the
country,
but
it
shared
its
larger
portion
of
its
collection
with
Aamir
Khan's
last
week
release
Talaash
in
the
multiplexes.
Barring
Joker,
Akshay
Kumar
has
scored
three
big
hits
Housefull
2,
Rowdy
Rathore
and
OMG!
Oh
My
God
in
2012.
This
huge
success
had
created
a
lot
of
hype
around
his
Khiladi
786,
which
released
in
2,786
screens
in
the
country
on
December
7.
Besides
this,
Khiladi
786
also
marks
his
comeback
to
action
as
well
as
Khiladi
series
after
12
years.
The
audiences
were
very
curious
to
watch
the
movie.
Khiladi
786
opened
to
a
very
good
response
at
single
screens,
where
it
registered
an
average
of
90%
occupancy.
But
it
had
average
footfalls
in
the
multiplexes
audience
across
the
country.
The
movie
witnessed
growth
in
its
collection
on
the
following
days,
but
it
was
not
up
to
the
expected
level.
Akshay
Kumar
and
Asin
starrer
movie,
which
was
affected
by
Talaash,
raked
in
Rs
34.30
cr
at
the
domestic
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend.
Its
breakup
is
Rs
10.40
cr
on
Fri,
Rs
11.15
cr
on
Sat
and
Rs
12.75
cr
on
Sun.
The
film
was
expected
to
cross
Rs
50
crore
mark
at
the
desi
collection
centres,
but
it
failed
to
do
so.
Khiladi
786
witnessed
a
drop
of
50%
in
its
business
on
Monday.
And
the
masala
entertainer
continued
to
drop
at
the
desi
collection
centres
on
the
following
days.
The
movie
added
Rs
52.55
crores
nett
at
the
desi
Box
Office
in
the
first
week.
Its
weekdays'
breakup
is
Rs
5.50
cr
on
Mon,
Rs
4.9
cr
on
Tue,
Rs
4.1
on
Wed
and
Rs
3.90
cr
on
Thu.
However,
the
makers
of
Khiladi
786,
which
bagged
mixed
reviews
from
film
critics,
had
a
huge
amount
of
promotions.
Besides
promoting
it
on
TV,
Akshay
Kumar
and
Asin
had
also
visited
several
metros
for
its
publicity.
But
both
promotions
and
hype
surrounding
the
movie
have
failed
to
yield
good
results.
