MUMBAI: Having taken bumper opening weekend collections, Ready has continued to maintain its good run throughout its first week to collect a handsome Rs 697 million.

The trade was sceptical when Wave Industry‘s Ponty Chadha acquired the film for theatrical exploitation across the world for Rs 540 million (including two core refundable advance); the price paid was considered to be on the higher side since few films cross the Rs 400-million net mark domestically.

However, Salman Khan‘s popularity and the entertainment value of the film have seen it through with flying colours. The film held its own in the second weekend as well with collections of Rs 186.5 million.
  
Shaitan has not been able to find its niche audience; it has been a dull opening weekend for the film with collection figures of Rs 26 million.
West Is West is poor in terms of box office. Kucch Luv Jaisaa has also fared badly in the second week.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama has collected Rs 13 million in its third week. The three-week total is Rs 97 million.
