Akshay Kumar’s ‘Tees Maar Khan’ opened to strong numbers clearly overtaking Ajay Devgn’s ‘Toonpur Ka Superhero’ at the box-office. Also the yearend is supposed to be dull phase in terms of box-office business.
So the releases of the week gone by were considered to be the last big releases of 2010. Akshay Kumar’s Tees Maar Khan had an opening day collection of Rs 18 crore gross (Rs 14 crore nett) making it amongst the top three opening day collections for a Hindi film. Ajay Devgn’s Toonpur Ka Superhero, despite receiving better reviews than Tees Mar Khan, was nowhere close to the Akshay Kumar’s movie in terms of its box-office business.
The major target audiences were children. Though the animation is world-class, business was weak in the international market since they are more evolved in the genre. Again it needs to be seen if the business shows any rise in the coming days.
It was suicidal for Rajshri Productions Isi Life Mein to release amidst biggies like Tees Maar Khan and Toonpur Ka Superhero. As expected, the film went almost unnoticed.
