Banjo struggled on its opening day at the box office, with all-India net box office collections of just 1.72 crore. The film was best in Mumbai, with nearly half the collections coming from the circuit. North, South and East were pretty much washouts for the film.
With such a low opening day total, the fate of Banjo depends on how it grows over the weekend. The film has to pretty much double its Friday business on Saturday and grow further on Sunday. To generate that sort of numbers, the word-of-mouth has to be strong, which unfortunately isn’t the case with Banjo.
All eyes will now be on the biggest release of September – M.S Dhoni The Untold Story. Apart from a small metro-city-only film like Pink, there hasn’t been a good film at multiplexes after the release of Rustom last month. The timing of the release of M.S Dhoni is just about perfect. If the content matches expectations, we could have our first non-Salman, non-Akshay 100 crore grosser of 2016. It’s been a poor year so far and the success of ‘MS Dhoni’ will be important for the industry.
Banjo Day 1 Collections – 1.72 crore
Dhoni dhoni dhoni…………………..
Awaiting the movie
Let’s see if Dhoni turns out to be a surprise(like Baaghi this year). Neeraj Pandey has so far never disappointed his audience. My expectation is 115 cr.
Banjo? heard the name first time
MS Dhoni is going to hit century in Bollywood match too.
Lord Ritesh Was d reason of ek villain success :-P
Dhoni is famous for hitting six on the last ball but his movie will hit a six on the very first day.
When was the last a non superstar starer movie generated such a buzz.
Sushant will become a big wig in youngistaan after this movie
Yes MS Dhoni will be big ….!!!
I want MSD and Crack to be a huge huge huge success for one and only neeraj Pandey ..!!!
Bollywood is polluted by own politics…SO may good films be rejected by poor fanbase industry !!
Hope Ms Dhoni flops as banjo is going to be and indicine u r wrong the biggest release of this month is raaz reboot
