MOM box office collection day 2: Sridevi’s thriller saw a massive growth, collects Rs 5.08 cr

The new Tom Holland-Robert Downey Jr movie was initially the trouble for both MOM and Guest Iin London on Friday. Sridevi’s MOM started on a low note, collecting just Rs 2.50 crore on the first day. The fact that the film was released in four different languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam did little to benefit the film on day 1. However, it looks like the Sridevi’s film has made a comeback.

Film trade expert Girish Johar had told indianexpress.com, “MOM heavily relies on acting chops of lead actors including Sridevi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna. The film is dark and gritty and has less in terms of masala entertainment. However, the film can pick up growth over the weekend if there is a strong word of mouth publicity. MOM can earn Rs 5-6 crore on Saturday.”

When asked if Sridevi’s film will benefit from release in multiple languages, Girish had said, “Makers wanted to cash in on the popularity of Sridevi in southern states but only Monday will tell us if the film has been able to leave a mark.”

Girish also added that Spiderman: Homecoming will easily trump both MOM and Guest Iin London, “The film has already collected Rs 6 crores. However, it didn’t perform as per expectations. Its previous instalment did much better. Spider-man: Homecoming is a fun, entertaining film which is sure to rule box office in India.”

According to industry sources, MOM will have to pull up its socks to recover its cost of production. “The film is made on a budget of Rs 45-50 crore. It will have to do really well in order to make the profit,” a source told indianexpress.com. Looks like the
