Geetha Box Office Report
Geetha Kannada Movie; HIT or FLOP?The Kannada movie, 'Geetha', featuring actor Ganesh in the lead role, opened to a good response across Karnataka. 'Geetha' is actor Ganesh's third release of 2019, and it opened to a better response compared to his two previous releases, '99' and 'Gimmick'. '99' was below average at the Kannada box office, and the horror comedy 'Gimmick' was a disaster. Both the films, '99' and 'Gimmick', were remakes of Tamil films '96' and 'Dhilluku Dhuddu'. 'Geetha' on the other hand is reportedly not a remake film. Unlike, 'Gimmick' which was released without much pre-release publicity; Geetha was given sufficient amount of promotions and advertisements to make the audience aware of the release. And, the film too carried a decent-good amount of buzz before the release. 'Geetha' had around 215 shows in Bangalore on Day 1, which is more than what '99' had on Day 1.
'Geetha' picked-up well on Saturday and Sunday, after the good Day 1 opening. The film held very well on Monday, as collections witnessed only around ~25% drop vis-à-vis Friday. And, the film was rock steady in the weekdays, but, only until the two big-budget big-star movies 'Sye Raa' and 'War' arrived on Wednesday, Oct 2nd. Both the films took away a huge chunk of screens from 'Geetha', and the collections plummeted as a result. The collections fell by more than 75% on Wednesday compared to Tuesday. Have to say, the release of the film wasn't really well-timed. The film only had 5 days of full-scale run at the cinemas before its screens got snatched away by the movies of the outside film industries.
UPDATE: 'Geetha' went down quite heavily in the second and third weeks at the Kannada Box Office, and has pretty much ended its run at the Sandalwood Box Office. 'Geetha' has turned-out to be one more disappointment for actor Ganesh in 2019, after the box office failures of '99' and 'Gimmick'.
