Piku has collected Rs 5.5 crore on Day 1, which is exactly what we predicted in #IndicineFBO. The film has done well at the box office, especially at metro cities and circuits like Mysore and West Bengal.
The big advantage for a film like ‘Piku’ is that the word-of-mouth is extra-ordinary, so the film has the potential to collect 60-70 crore or even more – which is what it requires to recover its high costs. A lot will also depend on how well next week’s release ‘Bombay Velvet’ does at the box office.
Critics too have praised the film. In fact, ‘Piku’ has received better reviews than a film like ‘Baby’, which was previously the most acclaimed movie of 2015. On our review scale, ‘Piku’ has scored 78 out of 10 (also read: Piku Critic Reviews), which is excellent. In comparison, Neeraj Pandey’s Baby scored 66 (Baby Critic reviews).
Saturday update: On Saturday morning, the film is significantly higher than Friday. At some centres, collections are almost double! Evening onwards, ‘Piku’ is likely to show even bigger growth in business, which should ensure collections in the range of 7-8 crore!
Piku Day 1 (Friday) Collections – Rs 5.5 crore

this movie will flop because of akki power
@sambuddha Dear read that whole sentence once again slowly n steadily!!
iit is unarguably the worst film….insipid acting..both lead actors shouting all the time
film not meant for youngsters and small children//…
a sure shot flop
@nipun You fool just because his review didnt mention ‘cinematography’ it became a bad review? Go read any of the professional reviews of hollywood films maybe Avengers 2. Most of them dont talk about cinematography. Amits review is well written, whether its real or hate. Unlike your reviews, which seems like a kiddo is giving cheesy opinions about a film in simple sentences. Go play with your jadoo toys.
It is too less 5 crore ..
Acc to sallu fans logic, piku should have collected 45 crore on its opening day.
Becoz it is deepika’s movie …
I don’t know why has collected 5 crore?
@kshitiz u better worry about akkis sinking carrer
y Ppl r Saying that Deepika is bigger blah blah ! it’s just 5.5 nd leela collected the same in very less screens compare to piku . piku is release in large number of screens .
this collection is below the mark ! now bcos of gud reviews , it will do the collections it should have done on opening day as per the screen size release .
nd indicine Gabbar has done 77.5 ? as per ur data ! pls Tell us the collections so far by an article .
I will be really surprised , if this film crosses 50 crore !
RIP haters like shaggy nd megha.
they were bashing it nd barking like dogs for piku.
some one was saying that it wont cross even 3 cr on day one.
lol.
but on other side , i m feeling sad for those haters also who were saying that due to deepki , hny nd ce crossed 200 cr mark.
Akki should enter Guiness book of records…. He gave 27 back to back flops during 1997-2003… he did 27 films in 6 yrs and *ALL* of them were flops…. woah
@ajinkya.. Bring on the comments.. They are my daily dose of entertainment.. :D
@floppy hera pheri came in 1999 and it was a hit correct facts @nipun amit Singh’s review is at least better than urs
