R. Balki’s directorial “Shamitabh” did managed to show a decent growth in its business in its opening weekend. But, as a usual Monday drop trend, the film saw a dip yesterday at the Domestic Box Office. "Shamitabh" made a business of 1.6 crores on its first Monday, taking its 4 Days total to 14.85 crores at the Domestic Box Office.

The movie, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush in lead roles, is reportedly made on a budget of 40 crores. However, looking at the current trend, the film will have to fight it really hard to recover its costs. "Shamitabh" which tells the story of two individuals with the desire of becoming actors, has received rave reviews from critics and audience. Looking at the audience's response, Amitabh posted on his blog saying that "it gives credence to the film".

While Shamitabh is heading towards a 20 to 22 crores net first week collections, it will lose screens in its second week, due to new releases. Clearly, the film will have to struggle thereafter.
