Total Dhamaal has emerged a HIT film as it holds strongly on Monday with collections in the 9.25- 9.50 crore nett range. The drop is around 40% from a good start of 16 crore nett apprx. The film is even stronger in places like UP, Gujarat, Bihar and the Central belts dropping even less. Single screens in these areas especially UP have dropped just 20-25% from day one.

The collections of the film have gone to around 70 crore nett in four days and it is looking to be in the 90-95 crore nett range over the week depending on the next few days. The drop is around 50% at the high end premium multiplexes but it can sustain well in the long run without these.

The next test for the film will be on the second Friday and if it mass and families come again on Friday and the weekend it could become a SUPER HIT film. It is the first in the Dhamaal series to emerge a HIT theatrically as the first two were huge on television but not so big in the theatres.
