After a promising opening day collection of Rs.12.10 crore, Rohit Shetty's action-comedy "Bol Bachchan" went nearly houseful on the weekend and amassed Rs.50.13 crore by Monday.

Said to be inspired by 1979 movie "Gol Maal", "Bol Bachchan", made on a budget of Rs.70 crore, features Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Asin Thottumkal and Prachi Desai.

The movie collected over Rs.43.10 crore during the weekend after it released July 6. Post the opening day collection of Rs.12.10 crore, the movie made Rs.14 crore on Saturday, and approximately Rs. 17 crore.

Presented by Fox Star Studios, the Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision and Ajay Devgn Ffilms- produced movie is reportedly Devgn and Shetty's biggest opener, having generated 36 per cent higher figures than "Singham" and around 43 per cent bigger than "Golmaal 3".

"The film has got a tremendous response. It managed to collect Rs.7.80 crore in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and Rs.3 crore in Punjab in first three days. Since school holidays got extended, lots of families came in to watch the movie together and had a good time, said Mahajan.

Piyush Raizada, director, Delight Cinema says despite rains, it was nearly a houseful for "Bol Bachchan".

"The movie has received an amazing response and is appreciated among classes and masses. It did extraordinarily well on Friday and Saturday, and went houseful despite the rains, " Raizada told.
