Akshay Kumar's 'Tees Maar Khan' opened to strong numbers clearly overtaking Ajay Devgn's 'Toonpur Ka Superhero' at the box-office.
Though there is still one Friday to go in 2010 (the last day of the year – December 31), in terms of Bollywood the year seems to have come to an end. While three releases are scheduled for the next week – 2 postponed ('Tera Kya Hoga Johnny' and 'Ada – A Way of Life') and small children flick Bhoot and Friends, none of them are anywhere close to being awaited. Also the yearend is supposed to be dull phase in terms of box-office business.
So the releases of the week gone by were considered to be the last big releases of 2010. Akshay Kumar's Tees Maar Khan had an opening day collection of Rs 18 crore gross (Rs 14 crore nett) making it amongst the top three opening day collections for a Hindi film. The occupancy was as good as 100% at most cinemas in the opening weekend.
Released in over 2300 screens worldwide, the film has grossed more than Rs. 5 crores even before its Friday opening, just on paid previews in overseas market including US, UK and Gulf. However with negative reviews, it needs to be seen if the film can sustain a steady run at the box-office.
Ajay Devgn's Toonpur Ka Superhero, despite receiving better reviews than TMK, was nowhere close to the Akshay Kumar starrer in terms of its box-office business. The major target audiences were children. Though the animation is world-class, business was weak in the international market since they are more evolved in the genre. Again it needs to be seen if the business shows any rise in the coming days.
It was suicidal for Rajshri Productions Isi Life Mein to release amidst biggies like Tees Maar Khan and Toonpur Ka Superhero. As expected, the film went almost unnoticed.
