After taking a start of Rs. 4.93 crores on Friday, Maa saw some growth on Saturday which has further firmed up its standing at the box office. Since the film had collected on the higher end of the predicted range, one wondered if Saturday will indeed see more than 20%-25% growth. Moreover, there was 2+1 tickets offer on Friday whereas none of that was there on Saturday, which means everything had to be organic at the box office.

The film still managed to collect well and, in fact, saw higher than expected growth as Rs. 6.26 crores came in. This is a healthy number and while today it will certainly cross Rs. 7 crores, if it somehow manages to come close to Rs. 8 crores mark, then that would put it in a healthy position. A number like that will ensure that Monday collections would be Rs. 3 crores+ which would be good to take it through.

So far, the film has netted Rs. 11.91 crores and a weekend close to Rs. 20 crores is there for the taking. This means a lifetime of Rs. 40 crores+ is now almost sorted and some sort of sustenance from the second week onwards as well can help it push towards Rs. 50 crores mark as well, which would bring in the same range as Rani Mukherji’s Mardaani franchise.

Note: All collections as per various box office sources
