(*50*)
The Gujarati cinema is on a roll. The Diwali release, Chaniya Toli, which was made in just Rs. 5 crores, grew to become a blockbuster as it crossed the Rs. 16 crore mark. Meanwhile, a small Gujarati movie, Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate, has develop into an even greater blockbuster. Its price range is paltry Rs. 50 lakhs and yesterday, on November 7, it earned a large Rs. 2.50 crores, that too on its fifth Friday. It has gone past Chaniya Toli and has the potential to cross the Rs. 30 crore mark.
The pattern of Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate is one of its form and has shocked the commerce and industry. It was launched in the uninteresting pre-Diwali period, on October 10. The awareness was negligible and moreover, it starred new faces. As a end result, it initially acquired little or no viewers. In Week 1, it earned around Rs. 36 lakhs, while in the second week, it earned Rs. 28 lakhs approx.
But from week 3, the movie started to slowly see a rise in awareness and collections. It earned Rs. 70 lakhs in its third week, despite competitors from Chaniya Toli and the big Hindi releases, particularly, Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.
Realizing that demand was growing, the theatres elevated their showcasing on the 4th Friday, after which the quantity of reveals went up with each passing day. Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate, which earned around Rs. 1.34 crores in the first three weeks, managed to earn a whopping Rs. 14 crores approx. in Week 4! Videos on social media show viewers dancing and celebrating in cinemas during the reveals of Laalo. It additional made people curious about the movie.
Until the first 3 weeks, 78% of its collections got here from non-national chains and single screens, but from Week 4 onwards, the situation underwent a large change. Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate has the most important screen rely in its fifth week. It has a document 29 reveals a day at Rajhans Cinema, Precia, Surat, 26 reveals a day at AB Miniplex Ahmedabad, 24 reveals in Rajhans Flamingo Surat and 22 reveals in a single day at PVR Arved Transcube Ahmedabad. In Mumbai, it’s got appreciable showcasing from November 7, even in cinemas like Chitra Dadar and Mukta A2 Jai Hind Lalbaug that aren’t recognized to play Gujarati movies. And that’s not all. It has received a show each in Bengaluru and Hyderabad and they’re working home full.
Exhibitor speaks up
Kiritbhai T Vaghasia, who runs The Friday Cinema multiplex in Surat, gave a first-hand account of the craze. He told Bollywood Hungama, “We don’t get advance booking. But this film is getting full in advance, even an 8:30 am show on a Sunday. In times like these, I wish that my theatre had 10 screens instead of 3! Even 10 screens would not have been sufficient; that’s the demand for Laalo!”
He said, “Usually, for big films, customers ask for 2 tickets, 3 tickets, or a maximum of 5 tickets. With Laalo, people are coming in huge groups and they ask for 15 tickets, 20 tickets, or even 30 tickets! And no, this is not self-booking by producer or distributor or any mandals. Customers are themselves making these bookings. And even if I am increasing its price, it’s not impacting footfalls. And can you believe that in its first week, not a single ticket of the film was sold in my cinema hall!”
When requested what made him carry back Laalo, he replied, “I re-released the film last Friday at the request of director Ankit Sakhiya; he had studied with my son in Canada. On October 31, I kept the 4:00 pm show. 2 hours before the show, my staff told me that it was about to get full. We decided to play 2 more shows, at 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm. All 3 ran house-full. On Sunday, November 9, I’ll play only Laalo, with 20 shows a day. This is the first time in the history of The Friday Cinema that only one movie will be played in all its screens. I get so many calls from friends and acquaintances to ask if a few tickets of Laalo are available. But we have smaller screens and we don’t hold 4-5 tickets for last-minute rush. Hence, I have to decline such requests.”
As for people dancing during the end credit music, he laughed and said, “We have to request people to leave. We usually plan the schedule with the belief that most of the viewers leave the cinema halls when the credits roll. Then our staff quickly cleans the screen of waste items, after which we allow patrons of the next show to enter. In the case of Laalo, people don’t leave until the end, as they are busy dancing or witnessing other moviegoers doing garba. Ideally, we should increase the gap between the two shows of Laalo. But that would mean removing one show per screen and we can’t afford to do that as the demand is insane.”
He also revealed, “Roam around Surat and there’s no way you won’t find people discussing Laalo on the streets. At pan shops and tea stalls, I could hear friends asking one another if they had seen Laalo. After all, everyone around them is watching the film or about to go for it and every mobile phone in Gujarat has received Reels of the film.”
Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate has a Lord Krishna connection and Kiritbhai T Vaghasia remarked, “I truly believe that Lord Krishna himself has blessed this film. Otherwise, how do you explain that the film, which barely had an audience in the first 2 weeks, suddenly began to run house-full in every theatre? And this is not happening for a big Hindi flick but a small-budget Gujarati film. What we are witnessing right now is chamatkar!”

Lifetime predictions
Coming back to its fifth Friday collections, Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate has earned more than the big Hindi release Haq, which collected Rs. 1.75 crores on its first day, all India. The hole may be very large in Rajhans Cinemas, which has a strong presence in Gujarat. On November 7, Haq earned Rs. 1.16 lakhs in their properties. As for Laalo, it accrued Rs. 34.27 lakhs. In other phrases, the Gujarati movie, on its twenty ninth day, earned 29 occasions more than a new Hindi release, which is solely unbelievable.
Looking at the pattern, Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate has high possibilities of gathering Rs. 4 crores or even Rs. 5 crores on its fifth Saturday and fifth Sunday. At this price, it’ll cross the Rs. 25 crore mark comfortably and it stays to be seen if it manages to enter the Rs. 30 crore membership. The means it is going, a lifetime of Rs. 40 crores can’t be ruled out either.
