We revealed to you a while back, how Tushar Kapoor’sKyaa Kool Hain Hum 3wasn’t a sex comedyas such because of the various cuts it received. However, it was tagged as a sex comedy and it faced another sex comedy, Sunny Leone’sMastizaadethe next weekend. While there was buzz thatboth the films will have a similar run at the box office, it seems nothing as that sort has happened. In fact Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3beatMastizaadeat the domestic box office.
Tusshar Kapoor’sKyaa Kool Hain Hum 3made Rs 20.15 crore over the first weekend. As trade analyst Taran Adarsh explained in his tweet, “#KyaaKoolHainHum3 Fri 8.15 cr, Sat 5.50 cr, Sun 6.50 cr. Total: Rs 20.15 cr. India biz.” On the other hand, from day one itselfMastizaadefound itself trailingKKHH3, as it ended the first weekend at Rs 11 crore nett at the domestic box office. As BoxOfficeIndia.com reported, “Mastizaadehad a poor weekend grossing just 11 crore nett over the weekend which is much lower than last weeksKyaa Kool Hain Hum 3. The film is low budget but still needed weekend business of 18-20 crore net.
The first weekend business is as follows. Friday – Rs 3.5 crore, Saturday– Rs 3.25 crore and Sunday - Rs 4.25 crore. Total – Rs 11 crore.”This suggests Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3outperformed Mastizaade at the domesticbox office. But, content may not have been the reason. As exhibitor and distributor, Akshaye Rathi suggested, “Yes, Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3had a better first weekend thanMastizaade. But, it might be coz the audience might have had an overdose of the sex comedy genre and a back-to-back release may have backfired.
Ideally, as soon asGhayal Once Againwas postponed, one of the two sex comedies, mostlyKyaa Kool Hain Hum 3should have pre-poned its release to January 15, but they didn’t and hence both the films have suffered.”
