'Mom' Has A Decent First Week, 'Guest Iin London' Is A Distant Second

Sridevi's Mom had a decent first week at the Box Office as it brought in 24 crore*. The numbers are comparable to what Anushka Sharma's Phillauri had collected earlier this year with 22.68 crore coming in. That film was a much light hearted affair. It is far better than Vidya Balan's Begum Jaan <17.83 crore> though which was a serious drama.

The trending of the film is little better than Anushka Sharma's other film NH10 which was in the same genre and collected 20.35 crore. As things seem today, the lifetime numbers would go way past NH10 that had ended its run at 33 crore.

Guest Iin London has accumulated 9 crore* during its first week and though the film is in a different genre when compared to Kartik Aaryan's debut flick Pyaar Ka Punchnama, the lifetime numbers seem to be headed for the same zone <12 crore>. This film has a bigger budget though, especially due to Paresh Rawal joining the cast and the shooting taking place in London. Though ancillary rights and shooting rebate in London may help its cause to an extent, theatrically Guest Iin London hasn't covered much of a distance.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
