TRADE FACTSAmal Neerad directed BACHELOR PARTY has taken a tremendous opening in Kerala, grossing 76 Lacs on the opening day, and 2.07 Crores in 3 days of theatrical run. While the film is being appreciated for its stylish visuals and slick presentation, it is widely believed that the climax is a big let down. The word of mouth is negative, which caused a slight dip in collections on Sunday. As per the early reports, the film has held up reasonably well on Monday, and looks at an opening week gross in the range of 3.50 - 3.75 Crores.
While Saturday collections showed a drop of about 15% from Friday, Sunday showed minimal growth, which is a concern. It remains to be seen how the collections hold up over the weekdays, which shall give a clear picture of the lifetime gross BACHELOR PARTY may achieve.
BOV BUZZ
Amal Neerad once again proves that he is a Director who commands a big opening. Though a couple of his films have fallen apart after the initial buzz, it can be safely regarded that, with a decent word of mouth, an Amal Neerad flick shall become safe, largely due to its potential to attract a big initial. But the fact that his films fail to generate even a mixed opinion amongst the viewers is a matter of concern.
The film shall prove to be extremely crucial for Asif Ali, whose recent ventures, apart from Ordinary, have gone largely unnoticed. A good performance by BACHELOR PARTY at the boxoffice shall play an important role in bringing his career back on track.
There is no official information available on the cost or the satellite rights for BACHELOR PARTY. It may require a gross in the region of 7 - 8 Crores to render it safe. There is a buzz in the trade that Amal Neerad has made an attempt to alter the climax of the movie, which as of now is not popular with the viewers, however we are yet to hear any official announcement on this.
