The superhero spree has finally been abated, by the gun toting Ram Leela. Hrithik Roshan‘s Krrish 3 which was performing superbly at the Box Office in its two week run, has slowed down notably in weekend three.

By two weeks, the total of Krrish 3 in hindi stood at an approximate Rs 1.75 billion (Rs 175.88 crore) net.

On its 3rd Friday the film collected only about Rs 20 million (Rs 2 crore) net. On Saturday Krrish 3 collected in the range of Rs 24.6 million (Rs 2.46 crore) net, and Sunday remained in the same range with about Rs 30 million (Rs 3 crore) net only.

On the other hand, new release Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela has opened splendidly at the box office. It took a grand Day 1, of Rs 151 million (Rs 15.10 crore) net, despite controversies and protests regarding the name Ram Leela. The weekend remained strong with collections in the range of Rs 170 million (Rs 17 crore) net on Saturday and approximately Rs 189.4 million (Rs 18.94 crore) net on Sunday.

This brings the 3 day total of Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela to a fantastic Rs 510 million (Rs 51.05 crore) net.
