February keeps up box office momentum in 2019 with business of over Rs 300 crore

While January set the pace for Bollywood in 2019 with collections in the range of Rs 300- Rs 350 crore, February is maintaining the momentum with revenues to the tune of Rs 310 crore. And this is despite no holiday advantage and an added pressure of school examinations.

The month saw films like multi-starrer comedy flick Total Dhamaal and musical drama Gully Boy scoring high at the box office. For the Ranveer Singh-starrer Valentine's Day boosted the film's growth with the film having all the ingredients to attract the young audience.

On the day of love the film grabbed as much as Rs 19.40 crore which is close to 20 percent of the film's week one total. The right content at the right time helped Gully Boy enter the Rs 100 crore club in eight days.

On the other hand, the third installment in the Total Dhamaal franchise clicked with the family audience and managed Rs 99.30 crore in its first week.

Film trade experts are confident that Total Dhamaal will cross Rs 100 on day nine. Its overseas total also stands strong with a business of Rs 30.95 crore in seven days of its release.

While the film faced strong competition from the new release Luka Chuppistarring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon on day eight, it is still gathering steam.

Looking at Total Dhamaal's solid hold in theatres, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh said that contribution from mass pockets and single screens should not be overlooked and more movies that hold pan-India appeal should be made to expect ache din for trade.

With Total Dhamaal maintaining its rhythm and Luka Chuppi packing up strong revenues, it looks like the genre of comedy will keep the entertainment quotient high even in the month of March.

The other two releases during this month Amavas and Ek Ladki ko Dekha toh Aisa Laga did not contribute much to the overall collections as the former added only Rs 2.85 crore and the latter earned Rs 20 crore.  

But the month had something interesting to celebrate and that was Uri: The Surgical Strike trending even in its seventh week. The spillover effect of Uri added around Rs 66 crore to the grand total and the film yet shows no signs of slowing down despite competition from new releases and holdovers.

Down south a handful of films kept the audience entertained. Out of 10 releases from Tamil and Telugu industries together, RJ Balaji-starrer LKG made waves at the box office.

Reports estimate the film’s collection from the Tamil Nadu market at around Rs 10 crore and worldwide numbers at Rs 16 crore. LKG opened in theatres on February 22.

Telugu film NTR Mahanayakudu despite receiving positive reviews from critics could not hold strong at the box office. Its business in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana market remained disappointing as it could gather Rs 304 lakh by the end of four days of its theatrical run in the two territories.  

As for Hollywood, February saw some decent business coming from James Cameron’s Alita: The Battle Angelthat minted over Rs 8 crore total in India. However, it will be Captain Marvel that will up the interest amid the fan-base for Hollywood films in India.

Nifty forms 'Bearish Belt Hold' pattern on weekly charts, tread with caution

The Nifty50 managed to trim losses in the second half and closed off day's low amid weak Asian cues on Friday, but the broader markets caught in complete bear trap as the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices were down a percent each.

The index registered a bearish candle, which resembles a Hammer kind of formation on the daily charts and 'Bearish Belt Hold' pattern on the weekly scale.

Hammer formations on daily charts should have bullish connotations for the near term, but traders need to be cautious as weakness on weekly charts is getting more pronounced, experts said.

A 'Bearish Belt Hold' pattern is formed when the opening price becomes the highest point of the trading day (intraday high) and the index declines throughout the trading day making up for the large body. The candle will either have a small or no upper shadow and a small lower shadow.

A Hammer which is a bullish reversal pattern is formed after a decline while a Hanging Man is a bearish reversal pattern. A Hammer consists of no upper shadow, a small body, and long lower shadow. The long lower shadow of the Hammer signifies that it tested its support where demand was located and then bounced back.

The Nifty50 after opening moderately higher managed to hit an intraday high of 10,785.75 in early trade itself, but immediately bears took the control of Dalal Street and the index fell up to 10,620.40 in afternoon, followed by a bit of recovery in second half of session. The index cut down losses and closed down 21.60 points at 10,724.40.

"It was heartening to see Nifty50 staging a pull back move from the critical supports, placed around 10,600, as it recouped all the intraday losses which resulted in a Hammer kind of formation with a long lower shadow but weekly charts depicted a Bearish Belt Hold formation as Nifty continued to remain under pressure throughout the week from the highs of 10,930," Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.

He said usually Hammer formations on daily charts should have bullish connotations for the near term provided in the immediate session market witness a follow through buying.

In such a scenario sustaining above 10,700 levels on closing basis Nifty should ideally target 10,900 levels, he added.

Inflation drops to 2.05%, lower than RBI's projection a week ago

There is something to be said about inflation. It's a number that is stubbornly refusing to rise. January inflation came in at just 2.05 percent, a near-two year low. And it's happening like this: the inflation index is actually falling – and falling even more than it fell last year.

Which brings us to the components. While food is still an important part of the index, it's still "deflating" – prices of food items are falling, in general. This is usual for January (as winter crops come abound) but we see that this time, there was more "abundance" than last year.
