Two Hindi films are scheduled to release this week – Amitabh Bachchan returns as ‘Sarkar’ in the third film in the series and Parineeti Chopra makes a comeback in ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’.
It’s a difficult week to make predictions because the ‘Bahubali 2’ storm is likely to sweep both films aside this weekend and unless the word-of-mouth is extraordinary, both will struggle for a decent lifetime.
Picking one film over the other is also proving to be quite difficult because the advance is non-existent and ‘Bahubali 2’ will be running on way more shows than the newer films.
We expect ‘Sarkar 3’ to collect around 3 crore and ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’ to collect 2.7 crore. If ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’ turns out to be a good film, its collections could improve as the day progresses and the film could beat ‘Sarkar 3’.
Without ‘Bahubali 2’, both films combined would’ve probably collected around 9 crore, but here we have a magnum-opus that could collect twice more than both films combined in its 3rd weekend!

I will wait for reviews on MPB
Both will under perform
Looking at the craze of Meri Pyari Bindu… Postponing Baadshao looks like a poor decision now. Anyways it is good that they did as the Bahubali storm is way bigger than expected.
Meri pyari bindoo will be a entertaining movie
Can’t predict but know that Bahubali2 collection will be 3 times the combined total of both Sarkar and MPB. Really a wrong time to release both movies.
Bollywood should stop making such films.. sarkar 1 2 and 3 rajneeti etc all seem to ve same movies… bolly directors should opt out for universally appealing films. .. yes its true that they can’t nake bahubali bt fhey should try to do at least make universal films… while filns like trapped.. are great to watch and I personally loved rajkumar rao in the movie bt these movies reaches out to only a number of people. ….
