Box Office: Wanted vs Veer
The first indication that Veer may not go the  Wanted way, was when the collections first dipped on Saturday and later  dropped quite significantly on Monday. Republic day (Tuesday) business  helped the film get close to the first week numbers of Wanted, but the  huge crash on Friday (Week 2) and further drops on Saturday and Sunday  has meant that the film is highly unlikely to attain HIT status. 
The fact that the distributors share is high from single screens has ensured the “moderate success” tag for the film, but business overall has been well below expectations.

Few other points to be noted
- The multiplex business of Veer is lower than Wanted.

 - The lifetime nett of Veer is likely to fold up under 45 crores, with a distributors share of around 25 – 26 crores.
 
Most likely verdict : Average
