Panga had a low weekend of 11.25 crore though the trend especially on Saturday was good. It picked up well on Saturday but its coming off a low level which leaves the overall numbers at poor levels. The film could have released on another date and it was a mistake for the makers to come and clash with a bigger film. A one week push would have meant a clash with Jawani Jaaneman which Panga could have beaten in a clash.
The Saturday jump means that there is an audience which have liked the film no doubt its a limited audience but releasing it when the competition is lesser would have given this film much better run. Clashes are fine and films can survive with clashes but they have to be of equals or close to equals. Its weird that you have these small films taking on the bigger films like Panga against Street Dancer 3, Chhapaak against Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior and Saand Ki Aankh against Housefull 4. These smaller films hardly have an audience and on a good day and a liked film by the target audience you might get 50 lk footfalls but by clashing you are reducing even those mininmal footfalls.. If it can do that then it will be in with a chance of success despite these low opening weekend collections.
The film could hold well over the weekdays at low levels but with hardly anything on the board its going to be a struggle to go anywhere. The collections of Panga till date are as follows..
Friday - 2,00,00,000
Saturday - 4,25,00,000
Sunday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 11,75,00,000 apprx
