NEW
DELHI: Eros International Media Ltd has announced an
opening weekend collection of Rs 134 million worldwide
for Vicky Donor.
Director
Shoojit Sircar’s light hearted take at the taboo
attached to infertility and artificial insemination
has grossed over Rs 114 million in India (net ollection:
Rs 79.3 million) and Rs 20 million overseas.
Produced
by Eros International and JA Entertainment, Vicky Donor
is actor John Abraham’s foray as a producer. The
film released across 600 plus screens worldwide on 20
April and has done especially well in metros.
Eros
senior VP-Distribution-India Nandu Ahuja said, “We
are very happy with the audience as well as critics’
reactions to Vicky Donor. Sunday’s collections
showed a 91% jump over Friday figures. The film created
a positive buzz right from the launch of its trailer
and has delivered on audience expectations. With its
unusual subject, characters and dialogues, we are
hoping for repeat viewings and a promising run at
the box office".
Added
Eros International Plc president – marketing
& distribution
Pranab Kapadia, “This is an encouraging response
considering small
films don't find much favour with audiences in the
overseas markets.
Box office performances like this will give a platform
for other small
but high concept films to release”.
Vicky
Donor marks Eros International’s synergy with
John Abraham’s JA
Entertainment, Rising Sun Films and Rampage Motion
Pictures. The film
stars veteran actor Annu Kapoor along with debutants
Ayushyamann
Khurrana and Yami Gautam. Supporting cast includes
Dolly Ahluwalia,
Kamlesh Gill, Jayanta Das and Swaroopa Ghosh.
