The blockbuster film Tiger Zinda Hai has continued to dominate the box office despite three new releases. Tiger Zinda Hai has continued its steady run while the new releases 1921, Kaalakandi and Mukkabaaz have had a very poor first day.

Tiger Zinda Hai will do around 1.50 crore nett which takes its business to over 320 crore nett. The best of the new releases will be 1921 and that is the only film which can challenge Tiger Zinda Hai as it did get a full multiplex release by afternoon.

The collections will be still be low and much lower than the last two films of the franchise. Even if the film does get close to the Tiger Zinda Hai number on Friday from support in Maharashtra and Gujarat numbers in the morning it will be just for one day and Tiger Zinda Hai will fly past over the weekend.

Kaalakandi and Mukkabaaz are a bit of a disaster as both films are struggling for 1 crore nett. Kaalakandi may just get 1 crore nett which is similar to Chef while Mukkabaaz will be around the 75 lakhs nett mark. The gap between the two is a little closer than in the morning as a 35-40% gap will be cut to around 20-25%. 

This is probably because Mukkabaaz would have got support in the evening in Delhi / NCR and tomorrow it could be even closer as Mukkabaaz should pick up in UP due to authentic flavour of the state. But these are hardly pluses because even if both films double up tomorrow which is easily possible going by recent box office trends they hardly have anything on the board.

The only interesting thing this week will be is which film is the worse of a bad lot and our money would be on Kaalakandi as the trailer itself was unwatchable. This race would have only been Kaalakandi and Mukkabaaz but the release issues of 1921 have put this film a notch lower and in the same bracket as Kaalakandi and Mukakbaaz.
