Box office report : Baby, Khamoshiyan do well, Hawaizaada fails to impress

Baby Khamoshiyan Akshay Kumar's Baby hit the silver screen two weeks back but the film is still busy casting its spell on the audiences. Neeraj Pandey's film has already managed to earn Rs 78.62 crore in two weeks and is on its way to become the first hit of the year. With the current figure, this offbeat entertainer, about a counter terrorism unit and its secret mission, is all set to be the first hit of 2015. The film, however, opened on a slower than usual note, collecting Rs.9.30 crore on its opening day. Word-of-mouth appreciation and positive reviews worked wonders and collections rose over the weekend. On first Saturday, the film grossed Rs.11.71 crore while first Sunday's take was Rs.15.60 crore. Republic Day kept business steady, and the film collected Rs.14.90 crore on Monday. Producers are hopeful the film will touch the magical mark of Rs.100 crore in the days to come. While Vishesh Films' new offering Khamoshiyan has also earned Rs 6.67 crore in its opening weekend. Despite a new star cast, the film made on the budget of Rs 11 crore has already managed to make moolah at the boxoffice. On the other hand, Ayushmann Khurrana's Hawaizaada is quite a disappointment at the box office. According to Koimoi.com, the film has been able to mint only Rs 2 crore in its opening weekend and is a disaster at the box office. Made on a big budget, the film has not been received well by the audiences.
