  • Box Office: ‘Katti Batti’ takes poor opening with Rs 15.5 crore

    Box Office: ‘Katti Batti’ takes poor opening with Rs 15.5 crore

    MUMBAI: It all started with Hollywood film, Love Story (1970) based on a bestseller novel of same name by Erich Segal about a couple madly in love only to realise one of them is terminally ill. The Rajshris followed it up with its Indian version in the musical hit, Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se (1978) while Hrishikesh Mukerjee used the theme again, albeit, with no similarities with the two in Anand (1981), which went on to become an all-time classic. Since then, quite a few attempts have been made to use a terminal illness and, except Kal Ho Na Ho in (2003), none seem to have worked.

     

    Katti Batti takes this theme and brutalises it badly. And, pays for it at both, the media as well as the box office. Besides poor merits, the film cuts corners heavily on supporting star cast. Having taken a poor opening, the film could not better its Friday collections on Saturday or on Sunday. All the film had to show for its opening weekend is Rs 15.5 crore.

     

    Meeruthiya Gangsters fails to find an audience. 

     

    Hero, an attempt to recreate the magic of the 1983 musical hit of the same name, proves disastrous. After a low opening weekend, the film closes its first week with Rs 29.2 crore not being able to sustain during the week days.

     

    Welcome Back did reasonable business in its first week but started losing steam thereafter despite poor new releases to affect its business. The film managed to add about 25 per cent of its first week total collecting Rs 17.5 crore in second week to take its two week total to Rs 90.6 crore.

     

    Phantom emerges a loser at the box office managing to add just about Rs 60 lakh in its third week to take its three week tally to Rs 50.5 crore.

     

    Manjhi: The Mountain Man collects Rs 18 lakh in its fourth week to take its four week total to Rs 12.88 crore.

  • Kal Ho Na Ho completes nine years in circulation

    Kal Ho Na Ho completes nine years in circulation

    MUMBAI: Yesterday was a noteworthy day for Dharma Productions as its film Kal Ho Naa Ho, completed nine years of circulation. It was on 28 November, 2003 that the film had initially released.

    Kal Ho Naa Ho is very close to Karan Johar‘s heart as this was the last film in which he worked with his father Yash Johar. The film also holds immense value in the careers of all the lead actors as they are still remembered for their characters in the film.

    All the three stars; Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta shared a great chemistry and slipped into their characters with ease.

    Reminiscing the days, Johar said, "Nine years to Kal Ho Naa Ho….the last film my father helmed at Dharma Productions…an ironic title which is special to me…always…."
