    NEW DELHI: The Rohit Shetty directed ‘Bol Bachchan’ has reaped gross box office revenues over the weekend totaling Rs 728 million globally including Rs 431 million in India, an official statement said.

    Presented by Fox Star Studios, the Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision and Ajay Devgan Films’ produced film is reportedly shaping to be Devgan-Shetty‘s biggest films, having generated 36 per cent higher figures than Singham and around 43 per cent bigger than Golmaal 3 on the opening day, the statement added. This remarkable feat was achieved despite the monsoon rains and other anticipated regional releases such as EEGA in South and ‘Jatt and Juliet‘ in Punjab.

    After opening at Rs 121 million net on Friday and Rs 14o million on Saturday, ‘Bol Bachchan’ saw a phenomenal increase on Sunday contributing to the day‘s total of approximately Rs 170 million, according to the statement.

    Bombay HC declares Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision defaulters

    MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court has declared Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision as defaulters over the non-payment of dues to film financier Raju Shah.

    Shah had moved the court after the cheques issued by the production house bounced. He has reportedly claimed dues of Rs 410 million.

    The court has also directed the company to come clean about its business dealings and various rights related to its latest film Bol Bachchan scheduled to release on 6th July. According to insiders, the film has been acquired by Fox Star Studios for a whopping price of 720 million.

    A trade analyst, on conditions of anonymity, said that the release of the film may not be affected at this juncture since on record the film has already been ‘delivered‘ by the processing lab Reliance MediaWorks Ltd.

    It is a common film industry practice these days when an aggrieved creditor approaches the concerned film lab to block the delivery of the film until his dues are paid.

    The film is directed by Rohit Shetty and stars Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan (in double role), Asin and Prachi Desai.
