Despite being one of the most-touted films of the year and getting positive response from critics, Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur faced disastrous opening weekend.

The film has fared even worse in the small cities and if the filmmakers hoped that the story of a Muslim goon would help them win brownie points at the box office, then that has not happened.

For the metros and big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata the film's collection won't even have crossed the 1 crore mark on Friday. The collections of GOW, released on almost 1000 screens across India, were poor on Friday (2.75 cr. approx.) and rose marginally on Saturday (3.2 cr. approx.) and Sunday (3.75 cr. approx.).

According to reliable sources, in Kanpur, an important center in UP, the collections were almost 10% below the Friday levels. The reports from Bihar and Jharkhand are most disappointing. The film collected around a piddling Rs.5-6 lakhs on Friday with almost no growth on Saturday and Sunday.

It will be interesting to know the reaction of the filmmakers to this box office debacle and what will they do now with Gangs of Wasseypur Part 2, to be released in a month's time!
