Paani directed by Addinath Kothare, backed by Priyanka Chopra and starring Subodh Bhave, Kishor Kadam, Rucha Vaidya and others had a poor first week at the Marathi box office as it could only net Rs 28 lakh in 7 days. While the collections are low considering the actors associated with this film, they are even lower when we consider that it is backed by Priyanka Chopra, who is significant global force.

Paani Collects Rs 28 Lakh In Its First Week At The Box Office

Paani collected Rs 3 lakh on the first day, 6 lakh on the second day and 9 lakh on the third day. On Monday, it matched its opening day collections. It registered a net business of Rs 2.5 lakh each on Tuesday and Wednesday, and it is tracking to net Rs 2 lakh on Thursday, for a cume of Rs 28 lakh in its first week. The trend of the film is quite good for the fact that it is holding at near opening-day levels even on the weekdays. But a breakout is missing, which is very essential for the movie to emerge a theatrical success.

With Diwali releases soon going to flood the market place, Paani has too little to hold onto. It will end up collecting Rs 50 lakh or so in its full run and that isn't enough. The film's marketing, and print and advertising expenditure is higher than what it is expected to net in its full run; Let alone the share that the makers will receive.
