Bala was hit with a big drop on Wednesday after the partial holiday as it went down 45% to collect 4.75-5 crore nett. It is still a good collection for a Wednesday but the first week will now be less than Dream Girl. Bala has a six day total of around 64.50 crore nett and the first week is looking at a total of 69 crore nett.

The film is on course to become a HIT but it will be the second Friday which will confirm it. The film cant afford to have this sort of drop on Friday now as that would take it to low levels. It will have competition for Marjaavan but that might not be too good at the bigger multiplexes and there is a chance that Bala could lead in these on Friday.

Housefull 4 also seen a big drop as it came down 50% from Tuesday to collect 1.25 crore nett to take its total to 199 crore nett. It will become the second comedy film is history to collect 200 crore nett at the box office and both of the biggest comedy grossers will be Diwali releases as Golmaal Again came on Diwali 2017.
