Box Office Collections Of Alone And Party

Bollywood is known for sticking to and banking on reliable formulas. One such formula that has been working well for the past few years is that of Horrex movies—offering Horror and Sex (much like the term Rom-Com).

Last Friday’s release Alone falls in the Horrex category. With the movie Alone, television heartthrob Karan Singh Grover made his debut in Bollywood. He is paired opposite Bengali bombshell Bipasha Basu.

Directed by Bhushan Patel, who has given supernatural hits like 1920: Evil Returns and Ragini MMS 2, Alone was an ambitious project.
The movie has been much talked about off-screen intimacy between the leading pair, which is also touted to be the reason of Karan Singh Grover’s split with wife Jennifer Winget, whom he had married after his first marriage with actress Shraddha Nigam ended.

Made on a budget of Rs 18 crores, Alone has managed to have an average opening at the Indian box office and as per Koimoi.com it managed to collect Rs 14 crore in its first weekend. On Monday, the movie managed to pocket another Rs 2.1 crore taking its total collections to Rs 16.1 crore.

While Alone’s business had been better than the other recent Horrex movies starring Bipasha Basu, it still has a long way to go to reach the break even mark. What makes the matters worse is that next week Akshay Kumar starrer Baby and Sonam Kapoor’s Dolly Ki Doli will hit the cinema screens.

Last week, also saw the release of the movie, MSG: Messenger of God. After all the controversy regarding clearing of the movie by the censor board, there are no reports suggesting the collections of this movie.

The other two movies released last week, Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene as well as Crazy Cukkad Family did not manage to draw viewer, hence were a compete washout at the Box Office.
