The Indian box office is witnessing the enduring journey of “Madgaon Express,” which, against all odds, continues to attract audiences throughout its third week.
As the film enters its 17th day, it surges past expectations, eyeing a milestone Rs 25 crore collection before the Eid releases hit the screens.
Weekend Splurge Boosts Box Office
The past weekend has been exceptional for “Madgaon Express,” with the movie seeing a notable hike in its collections. After a steady influx of viewers during the weekdays, the weekend experienced a sharper rise.
Friday brought in a decent Rs 0.71 crore, but it was Saturday that truly turned the tide with collections crossing the Rs 1 crore mark, hitting a sanguine Rs 1.28 crore. Capping off the weekend, Sunday saw the numbers bolster even further to Rs 1.43 crore.
Sustainable Showings Spell Success
One of the key factors contributing to the film’s successful run is its sustained showtimes in multiplexes. Despite limited slots of just 1-2 shows per multiplex, “Madgaon Express” is running to packed houses, pushing its occupancy rates higher than ever.
The film strikes a chord with groups of friends looking for a good laugh, leading to positive word-of-mouth that’s propelling its upward trajectory.
