Those who enjoy films and then dissect them in their analysis will agree to that there are good movies and there are bad movies. But then there are movies which may or may not critically acclaimed but are still bombarded with phenomenal response at the box office. The year 2017 has seen a series of movies come and go without making a mark, but then there are certain movies which have raised eyebrows with their phenomenal collections despite not being the best in terms of content or even presentation. Be that as it may, the ultimate arbiter of a film's fate is success. So, take a look at the list of movies which have had massive 1st-weekend collections: -
Golmaal Again box office collection: The film's opening weekend collection was Rs 87.60 cr which was no doubt a massive sum – it is likely to be the highest in Bollywood in 2017. A film which despite having the advantage of a Diwali weekend did not have the benefit of an extended weekend, unlike Secret superstar. Yet it has been competing against teh very successful Judwaa 2.

Secret Superstar box office collection: The film released on Diwali starred the perfectionist Aamir Khan along with Dangal girl Zaira Wasim. The film collected Rs 31. 31 cr on the 1st weekend. Though it had the advantage of an extended weekend, the film opened on Diwali which is regarded as one of the lowest potential days to bring in audience. Yet it managed to end up with a decent total on the first weekend thanks to the star power and strong word of mouth. (Bollywood Hungama)

Judwaa 2 box office collection: Varun Dhawan starrer Judwaa 2 has been going strong since day 1. It garnered Rs 59.25 cr on the first weekend and is still fetching good money.

Mersal box office collection: The film continues to do phenomenally well and it is quite evident from the fact that at the end of its first weekend, the movie was inching its way to the Rs 100 cr club. Vijay starrer Mersal continues to create waves not only in the country but abroad as well. (PTI)
