Box Office Report: 10th July 2014

Bollywood Trade Editorial
This week’s major release is going to be Dharma
Productions’ HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA. The
Varun-Alia starrer is expected to open big due to
popular music and the two lead stars, who are hot
amongst the youth brigade. The other release of the
week, Vinay Arts’ MUNNA MANGE MEMSAAB is not
expected to achieve anything at the ticket window.
Last week’s two releases, Vidya Balan’s BOBBY
JASOOS and EROS International and Illuminati Films’
LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL, could not make a mark
at the box-office. Comparatively speaking, BOBBY
JASOOS fared much better netting around 7.75 crore
while LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL saw a dismal 2
crore, during the opening weekend.
