  • since few years in our locality the theatres started using digital technology (UFO DIGITAL). since then the picture quality improved a lot. no more flickering and blured edges etc. so how does this technology different from the previous. some people told me that they uses satalite transmission and digital projectors and no physical reels are present. is it true?

    but during screening of most of the hollywood films( spiderman 3,terminator 4 ,iron man, indiana jones 4 ,g i joe and many many more, the picture is like the old technology. i.e it has blured edges,flickers etc. why is that?

  • But tht movie was released on 2009 in india???Slumdog millionare

    Slumdog Millionaire is a Hollywood movie and does not qualify for Bollywood awards. It was dubbed in Hindi and released as Slumdog Crorepati
  • 1.What is the budget of APKGK?

    2.Has Deepika replaced Asin in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s next film?

    1. Around 25 crores.

    2. Not confirmed, but yes, there have been rumors

  • What is the budget of de dana dan and is an average grosser consider a sucess?

    Around 30 crores. You can add it to the actor’s success ratio since average = costs recovered.
  • What is ur rating for music of De dana dan???And Rating for music of Tum mile??

    De Dana Dan – 2.5
    Tum Mile – 4
  • 1.who has a better hit ratio:::big b,srk akky aamir or salman or hritthik???
    2.depending on ratio ,can big b srk n aamir stand in same league????????????

    Wait for a detailed answer on this. We will be publishing every actor’s success and HIT ratio (yes they are both different) for the decade.
  • who has won the most National Awards among 1-ShahRuk 2-Salman 3-Amir 4-Ajay Devgan 5-Akshay Kumar?.

    For lead performances, amongst those only Ajay Devgan has won a National awards.
  • wht do u think abot de dana dan how much will it get in 1st week i think 1st week it can get easily 25-28 cr . and next week it has good compitition with Paa so can DDD recover 30 cr and get some more cr to get hit status ????

    28 crores would be too less in Week 1 for a Akshay Kumar film. Even Ajab Prem Ki Khazab Kahani has managed around 34 crores in 5 days.
  • @Pooja

    Aamir Khan has won 3 National Awards till now: Special Jury/Special Mention Award for Raakh & QSQT, Best Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment for Lagaan (shared with Ashutosh Gowariker) and Best Family Welfare Film for TZP. Akshay Kumar, SRK and Salman have never won any National Award. Ajay Devgan has won 2 National Awards – Best Actor awards for Zakhm and The Legend of Bhagat Singh.

    So maximum number of National awards as an actor and filmmaker, have been won by Aamir.

    Thanks for the detailed answer Ramya. But if it comes down purely to Best Actor awards, Aamir has won none.
  • hi hmmm I have a question, when will be the 2009 rather 2010 filmfare? thanks

  • @ ramya : i did not knw about this but iam not at all surprised becoz AKKI,SRK and SALLU work in comercial entertainers most of the times which are generally masala movie but the other twos have performed some really difficult roles

  • Indicine Team: Zubeida movie for Karishma Kapoor was one of her best movies and her best performance.. I’d like to ask u the following:

    1) the movie for sure didn’t do well coz it was a bit slow and 3hrs length, but was it critically acclaimed.
    2) did Karishma win any award for her role as Zubeida.
    3) I heard the movie was based on a true story.. is it true.

    1. Yes It was critically acclaimed.
    2. Karishma won the Filmfare Best Actress Critics award. The movie won a national award for Best Feature film.
    3. Yes, on the life of actress Zubeida Begum.
  • Q 1. if any movie’s budget is 200 cr and movie get 150 cr all over india then wht will be verdict for the movie
    flop , avarage , hit or all time blockbuster , coz i dont think so any movie got 150 cr in india so far.
    Q 2. For Super hit status of De dana dan how much it should get as we know budget is 30 cr .
    Q 3. for Super Hit Status of Tum Mile how much it should get ???

    1. If it fails to recover costs – Flop.
    2. Double its investment, so 60 crores.
    3. About 25 – 30 crores should be good enough.
  • Q 1. could u please tell us about next a few releases of akshay kumar in 2010 n 2011 .????
    Q 2. which akki’s movies did u like so much and gave them more then 3.5 stars

    1. That would be a long list.. We will put up a detailed article on that soon. For now – Houseful, Action Replay, Patiala House, Khatta Meeta, Hello India in 2010..
    2. Bhool Bhulaiya – 4 stars, Namaste London – 4 stars.
  • How much will Paa affect the second weekend of De dana Dan? If De Dana Dan grosses a good 40 crores during its first week and have a below average second week will it be considered a hit or semi hit?

    Paa is unlikely to affect collections of De Dana Dan. Both films belong to different genres. 40 crores in Week 1 would easily ensure HIT status
  • How much can Kurbaan gross in it’s first weekend and during it’s first full week? Also, what is the Budget for Paa and Kurbann and Can Paa get a good opening?

    Kurbaan should be around 25 – 28 crores in Week 1. We would be pleasantly surprised if it crosses the 30 crore mark.

    Paa budget is 15 crores, Kurbaan should be somewhere around 30 – 33 crores (not officially confirmed).

  • What do you predict the life time gross will be for De Dana Dan and what kind opening will get it bumper or just average since the day that the movie is relasing is the same day as Eid I think?

  • What will be the opening for Kurbaan bumper or below? Which movie is carrying more hype and excitement De Dana Dan, Kurbann, or Paa?

    De Dana Dan quite obviously. Regarding Kurbaan opening. We aren’t quite sure if it would receive a bumper opening. Should open to around 70% and then pick up, if accepted
  • 1.Don’t u think Kareena Kapoor is being given undue importance by the media especially after her films have flopped?

    2.Do u think Deepika Padukone is the most understated actor as media talks only about her personal life?

    1. Well, that always been the case, hasn’t it? Here success ratio has been extremely poor over the years.

    2. Yet to come across a ‘good’ Deepika Padukone performance. So, No.

  • why u didnt ans my theatre releted question? waiting 4 it.

    Yes, will be answered soon. In a detailed article hopefully.
  • How much can De dana get miminimum in week 1???????If it same type of movie like KI,welcome,Ajab prem ki ghazab kahani,No entry

Tushaar Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi and Shreyas Talpade are confirmed. Female lead and other character actors, would be finalized after Rohit completes his script for Golmaal 3.
  • what expection from my name is khan?? isn’t is most awaited movie of bollywood??? ajab premki gajab kahani will be superhit ???
