Bollywood box-office report

bollywood
The movies released in the week are “Jai Veeru,” ”Gulaal” and “Little Zizou.” All the three movies have less famous actor and actresses and the storyline of Gulaal and Little Zizou do not resemble the typical Bollywood kind of movies. The results of the three movies on box office will be clear after the weekend collections. Anurag Basu is expecting to get some good benefits from his film “Gulaal” because his “Dev D” made collections more than expectations.

Last week, three Bollywood movies got released - “13B”,”Dhoondhte Reh Jaoge” and “Karma and Holi.” The three movies almost failed to get audience. The openings of the moves were poor and movie makers suffered losses. Same was the fate of movies released prior to last week, such as “Kisse Pyar Karoon” and “Siddharth –The Prisoner.” Some good news came from “Slumdog Millionaire” that continued to make collections from sale of tickets in India and in foreign countries. Slumdog millionaire made a total of collection of around Rs 14 crores from Indian market.

“Delhi 6” collected around 28.50 crores from the screening of the movie in previous two weeks .Both the weeks had no movies to compete a big banner film but “Delhi 6” did not benefit from the opportunity whereas many felt the collections were ok. “Billu” had similar fate and it collected not more than Rs 25 crores and that must have made Akshay Kumar proud because his “Chandni Chowk to China” fared better than “Billu” that had Shahrukh Khan in a cameo role.

Anurag Kashyap’s “Dev D” fared still better and brought profits for its maker because the movie grossed a total of around Rs 15 crores from previous week’s screening and “Dev D” was a low budget ,low promoted movie, that did not expect to perform well when it got released in the last week.
