Lately, Anushka Sharma is beaming with joy. And why won’t she? After all, her first ever female-centric film, NH10, has been accepted by the audience. A good weekend at the box-office was followed by an equally successful week. Many were doubtful about the fate of this ‘adults only’ dark and violent flick but it managed to rake in a lot of moolah quite comfortably.
As a result, around 20.5 crore came in, which brings this moderately budgeted film into the green zone. The movie has started making profits and numbers would continue to increase as there is no major release for the rest of the month. It would be interesting to see if NH10 continues to gather pace and crosses the collection of Rani Mukherji‘s Mardaani which had made 35 crore. However, Sonam Kapoor‘s Khoobsurat (a 30 crore affair) and Ali Bhatt‘s Highway (29 crore) could be definite milestones to overcome.
Meanwhile, Dum Laga Ke Haisha continues to bring in audience for itself on a steady note, as a result of which, it first had a good weekend and also enjoyed very stable weekdays. With close to 26 crore in its kitty already, the fun flick is now set to hit the 30 crore mark.
As things stand today, it could be a race between NH10 and Dum Laga Ke Haisha to hit this mark first. And it would be quite intriguing to follow this race as both the movies are vastly different from each other. Let’s see which one does better!
