Aiyyaa, Bhoot Returns, Makkhi have a poor start at Box Office

Bollywood witnessed the release of six movies like Aiyyaa, Bhoot Returns, Makkhi, Chittagong, Login and In The Name Of Tai, but all of them have opened to a poor response at the Box Office in India. Rani Mukherjee's Aiyyaa got good occupancy in theatres when compared to five other releases.

Aiyyaa, Bhoot Returns and Makkhi are much-hyped movies, and Aiyyaa is the front-runner in the race. The Rani Mukherjee and Prithviraj starrer has registered 25% occupancy, which is very disappointing for the makers. It is comeback film of Rani Mukherjee which is made with a big budget. It is expected to show a big jump in the evening shows.

Bhoot Returns is Ram Gopal Varma's latest horror movie and its promos have created a lot of curiosity among viewers. But the movie has an average of 10% occupancy across the country. Makkhi is the dubbed version of SS Rajamouli's Telugu movie Eega, which has received an earth-shattering response in Andhra Pradesh. It was expected to continue the same in the Hindi too. But this movie has also registered just 10% occupancy in both single screens and multiplexes.

Whereas, other new releases like Chittagong, Login and In The Name of Tai are medium budget movies and they have had a massive hype of promotions prior their release. Now, trade analyst feel that there is a chance for Aiyyaa, Bhoot Returns and Makkhi to pick up well in the collection centres, but the other three may washout completely.
