QnA Session

Ans. His one film is playing in theaters, second’s trailer is released on YouTube and third’s first look is out at the same time. Too much fun.

Ans. We reported the same about the delay of Sons of Sardar, Ajay Devgn’s production team denied saying it will release on Diwali 2017. Imtiaz Ali’s next can release on Independence Day 2017 too. Let’s see.

(1)(0)

Ans. About 5000

(1)(0)

Ans. Yes, there will be something from Dangal coming in August.

(0)(0)

Ans. The trailer was good, expectations were higher. Result: Disappointment.

(1)(0)

Ans. There is a slight chance always. Gandhi Jayanti holiday was open earlier but it has been occupied by MS Dhoni Biopic. Still, it can release on that day if the makers are confident. But do remember 5th August is a very bad date for release.

(1)(0)

Ans. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na. It was our movie of the week last Sunday.

(2)(0)

Ans. Now audience like to spend on a big budget better-looking films as ticket prices are higher. Bollywood makers should make more universally appealing films on a grand scale.

(1)(0)

Ans. Akshay likes to hear too many scripts. So whenever a director approaches him for a film, it becomes a news that he has signed the film. Always wait for the official announcement for Akki’s upcoming projects.

(2)(0)

Ans. It will be updated on every Monday from now on. Sau Tarah Ke song has become hit. Personal Take: The song looks better in the trailer.

(1)(0)

Ans. Let’s say Cersei will burn King’s Landing and Bran will have a flashback of Tower of Joy that may confirm R + L = J ?

(0)(0)

Ans. No, there will be 4/5 songs for the film album. Rustom will have a short duration (2 hrs) so all songs may not be part of the film.

(1)(0)

Ans. Shivaay teaser/first look in July. Budget 120 cr

(1)(0)

Ans. It’s time to answer some short questions.

Action, Thriller, History with a tough of religion.

(2)(0)

Ans. Off course, that will settle the debate between trade and producer figures. YRF hired Rentrak for Dhoom 3 for the first time. Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions have also tied up with Rentrak. They have tracked collections for PK and Wazir.

However, some producers are against the decision. So we don’t think Rentrak will be here in near future. We have Box Office India though who has an accuracy of 90%. With few distributor and exhibitors, we also look forward to box office India for any queries.

(3)(2)

Ans. Film awards in India have lost their credibility. They are only held for TRP Ratings and nothing else. Plus Aamir do not attend award functions so they don’t have to consider.

(3)(3)

Ans. Excluding box office, it is SRK’s never ending charm and craze since the 90’s that have made him the biggest star. He was the one who introduced Bollywood in overseas. Even his flops in India like Dil Se were big hits in overseas. His films are available on YouTube in Arabic, Spanish, German, Turkish subtitles. His failures are also celebrated and are paid a tribute.

As far Global star is concerned, it is the foreign media like Forbes, CNN, BBC etc that have given him the title.

(7)(2)

Ans. It is Aamir Khan in PK as he has put a lot of effort in the rule. His look and dialogue delivery was very unique.

(3)(9)

Ans. Yes, it will effect Sultan big time. Now it will collect 500 rs less as Raja Sen will not watch it.

(14)(5)

Ans. No, Mohenjo Daro will be way higher as HR commands a massive following in multiplexes and he is coming back after two years. Akki’s stronghold is single screens and mass centers.

(6)(3)

Ans. Not much. Last year Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan run together for 4-5 weeks and both emerged as a blockbuster. So if content is right, no worry at all. Kabali will also be released in Hindi version and Rajini’s highest grosser in dubbed version is Robot 2 (18 cr).

(3)(2)

Ans. The clash is very much on. Rustom trailer will be released in the first week of July. The stakes are higher for Mohenjo Daro especially if the content is not up to the mark. Rustom will be able to recover costs even with mixed WOM. But Mohenjo Daro needs something special to do so.

(7)(0)

Ans. Ali Abbas Zafar is an above average director. So we would go for a commercial film having some fun, romance and action and a runtime of 2 hrs.

(3)(1)

Ans. Let’s say if Raees was announced to release on 26th Jan 2017 instead of Eid, it would have crossed 30 cr mark easily.

(6)(4)

Ans. If Aditya Chopra made Baahubali, it will focus on the romance b/w Baahubali and Avanthika and how Kattapa was against their will to marry.

Sooraj Barjatya’s film will be a family friendly where Baahubali, Bhallala Deva, Maharani Devasena and Katappa settles out their differences in a 3 months long wedding celebrations of Baahubali and Avanthika.

Bhansali will have too many dramatic sequences especially b/w Baahubali with his mother and his lover Avanthika.

(6)(1)

Ans. It will not make a much of a difference as down South Kabali craze is never seen before. We don’t think any film has a chance to score there until the release of Kabali. Rajinikanth’s film is expected to shatter all opening records.

(6)(0)

Ans. Exactly. This is what Salman felt after the performance of Jai Ho. He took a break from doing masala, sequel, remake films and started to experiment with his roles. That is why Dabangg 3 was postponed to a later date.

(4)(1)

Ans. They have a limited fan club who like their films. General audience has a perception that they will always make niche dark genre film so they do not go to theaters despite the fact whatever film they make.

(2)(0)

Ans. If Rustom crosses 100 cr, then Akshay will have a unique record of 3 100 cr grossers in a single year. That will be a huge achievement. If other releases did not live up to the high expectations (Sultan, Mohenjo Daro, Dangal), then it will be the year of Akshay.

(7)(1)

Ans.

Salman Khan 100%

Aamir Khan 100%

Varun Dhawan 100%

SRK 88%

(9)(4)

Ans. Once Ranbir was compared to Khans and Hrithik and now you have called Shahid as his contemporary. That shows how his reputation has been damaged with back to back flops. He has good projects in his kitty but they are not looking hot box office wise. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will clash with Shivaay, Jagga Jasoos has been in the making since 2014. However, he can make a grand comeback with Sanjay Dutt Biopic.

(5)(1)

Ans. Meteorologists have reported that Eid may fall on 6th July. Earlier Pakistani cinemas revealed that Sultan will release on 7th July however now 6th July is the date circulating around everywhere in the trade. It will be an Eid release.

(7)(2)

Ans. The production cost will be in the range of 115-120 cr. (Confirmed by Ajay Devgn)

(6)(1)

Ans. Except CBFC, none have watched the film yet. We will let you know soon. There have been reports that it may not be a full-on commercial film.

(6)(2)

Ans. Second half of November 2016.

(6)(1)

Ans. Rajkumar Santoshi’s next releasing on Diwali/Christmas 2017.

(6)(5)

Ans. For us, it is always nett collection. Distributing price also plays an important part. For example, Dilwale was sold to distributors in 135 cr and TWMR in 30-35 cr. So despite similar lifetime collections, Dilwale distributors have to suffer from huge losses.

(5)(1)

Ans. It depends on the screen count. With 5000 screens and 90% occupancy, Sultan will collect 45 cr+.

(8)(4)

Ans. In last 6 years, Salman has not delivered any disaster. Ranbir has only one (Bombay Velvet) in his whole career. Dull phase comes in every actor’s career but Ranbir has acting talent and can bounce back at any time.

(5)(7)

Ans. It is unlikely to happen. By the way, you cannot compare both these films as Mohenjo Daro is made on a budget of 150 cr and Rustom at 40 cr. So let’s assume that Rustom collects 70 cr and MD 140 cr. Still, Rustom will be considered a hit and Mohenjo Daro as an average grosser despite collecting double than Rustom.
