At last, Bollywood box-office collections get lucky with the much awaited multi starrer action-thriller Luck. Hype over high tide, might have prevented cine-goers in Mumbai to enter cinema halls, despite the beginning of week-end. Therefore, affecting almost 40 percent of the opening collections for LUCK.
Still Luck took a fantastic opening at the single screens in U.P, Punjab, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Nizam, with a hundred percent opening. Although multiplexes conquered 40 percent opening, however, good reviews will woo audience to watch the film over the weekend. The film has been released on 976 prints in India (343 physical prints and 633 digital prints) on 1,150 screens. Overseas, it has been released in 134 prints on 150 screens. The worldwide print count is 1,110 in 1,300 screens. Meanwhile, the film collected an impressive 2.8 lakh Dirham on its opening day in UAE.
Luck is predicted to get luckier with the bad fate of its contemporary- Perfect Mismatch. Perfect Mismatch has turned out to be living up to its title with its box-office earnings a perfect mismatch as compared to producer’s expectations. A very poor opening at both- multiplexes and single screens, the film has not even received moderate reviews by critics to fall back on.
On the whole, LUCK’s charm did prove fatal for Perfect Mismatch as predicted by many trade pundits. With Love Aaj Kal releasing next week it will give a further blow to the poor show of Perfect Mismatch, and will also affect the turnover of LUCK for the next weekend. Till that time, we can safely say this week it’s perfectly matched for LUCK!
