  • Nauman: Aankein was a very poor movie in direction! why r u surprised that others didn’t like it?!!!!!!! many ppl consider a trash and a poor movie as a good movie because their (hero) their favourite actor is playing a main role in that movie.. and many ppl consider some good quality movies such as Kurban as a bad movie!!! so.. noone can see any movie with other people’s eyes.. right?!!

  • 1.what are the forthcoming movies with anu malik as a music director.
    2.did farah khan signed anu malik for tees maar khan.

    He has one animated film Toonpur Ka Superhero.. Nothing else as of now. Farah hasn’t yet signed anyone as far as we know.
  • @amish: great comment dude . watched DDD today . it was good but not the best movie of AKKI. and ya Aankhien was very well directed movie and had a different story as well

  • fathiya:
    Aankhien was realy great movie and i dont need to discuss further about aankhien taran adarsh gave 4/5or 3.5/5.
    and akshay wasnt my fav not that time even i didnt care abt akshay on that time he is my fav after bhaghambhag when he says to govinda ” Digree nahi hai na tere pass”.
    and how can u say that poor direction. it was amaizing and perfect movie just music was ok and not enough songs in the movie.

    We would rate it around 3 stars.. The concept was good and unique but way ahead of its time.. If it had released today, it would have done better business.
  • Nauman: when this movie “Aankein” was released.. I wasn’t that impressed to see it coz I knew that it wasn’t a good movie from the trailer which I saw.. but one guy on this website was praising this movie ( can’t remember who he was) so I saw it on one of the tv channels a few months ago and told myself: they’re saying it’s a good movie so let me watch it and decide..I can’t remember everything about this movie except Bigb was using some blind people, the starting was not bad, but later, found it a bad movie..and sorry Nauman.. I can’t even remember the scenes because a good movie stays in my mind, and a bad one just blows away after few days!

  • If de dana dan finshes the second weekend with a total of 42 crore will it be a hit since it’s sustaining well at single screen and will it improve on multiplexes during the weekend and what’s the reason for the drop on multiplexes?

  • so many similar posts……..

    i guess u need to organize the ask us section……….

    whats akki’s nxt muv?

    Yes, too many similar questions.. Organise, yes.. how? We don’t really know. Any ideas? :)

    Akki’s next is Houseful directed by Sajid Khan.

  • If DDD crashes in the second weekend it will be a below average when you first mentioned that 40 crore could ensure a hit status and how the heck the budget went from 30 crore to 60 crore? What the likely hood that DDD crashes on its second weekend?

  • Did Akshay Kumar have a good or a bad year since he was two flops and mostly likely three averages?

    Do we need to answer this?
  • wats the chances of paaa?????????????

    The response has been pretty good. If the business picks up on Saturday, Sunday.. it’ll do well.
  • @Indicine team : You said DDD need to do 70 crore for superhit status?? will it include Overseas collection as well.

    In that MNIK will be needing 196 crore to be a hit as it has been sold at 98 crores . am i right ????has anyfilm done 196 crore so far ??as i have heard that even ghazini did 160 crores. am i right ????

    One more thing i unintentionally clicked Blockbuster today when the contest has closed while earlier i predicted Superhit . my prediction wd be counted superhit ????

    Overseas not included.. Since 30 crores was for Indian theatrical rights only. Better to wait and watch with DDD, hard to make predictions.. Since the business from Single screens is higher, the distributors share will be higher too (like Wanted)..

    The worldwide rights for MNIK has been sold for 98 crores, so again can’t tell you exactly how much it needs for a HIT. And entertainment taxes overseas, isn’t same as India, so the nett figures will be different..

  • Q1. after which movie akshay got superstar status?
    Q2. according to u in which movie Akshay did his best performance?

    1. Welcome
    2. Last performance we liked was Namaste London. Other films.. Hera Pheri, Ajnabee, Waqt, Khakee..
  • has ash-abhi got 25 crore 4 one add of lux?

    Since it hasn’t been officially announced. Its not true.
  • I donot understand y DE DANA DAN required 60 crs to be hit????It was sold at 30 crs then how 60 crs required????? Then For veer it required 80+ and MY NAME IS KHAN 180 crs+????since their budget are 40+ and 80+ respectively

    Go through the DDD BO topic.. Or the comment by Amish below
  • What r the reasons many movies can’t do big business…since it has come almost last month of the movie and this year no blockbuster movie have arrived???
    DO u think Amitabh bachan now have big chance for getting best actor award since he is senior in bollywood..and some of the award function is run by him….and have best chance this year since critics r praising Paa????And also Abishek bachan may be supporting role …(because some of award function’s head is mr.amitabh bachan)??????????

    What nonsense. If Amitabh Bachchan was running some award function, Abhishek would have won the best actor award for Guru and not SRK for Chak De.. Him being senior doesn’t get him awards.. He deserved the award for Black and he deserves it for Paa!

    No blockbuster this year because some of the big stars who deliver blockbusters (read SRK, Aamir, Hrithik) haven’t had a release. 3 Idiots should do very well.. Also the quality of films this year has been very poor.. Most potential blockbusters like Delhi 6 have flopped..

  • Budget of movie Loveaajkal was 45 crs and it earn 66 crs in india..and declared superhit but y not such case for de dana dan???????

  • Sudeep– movie DDD was sold to Baba arts for 30cr. so nw movie has to collect 60cr for hit status..

    Wy– bcoz if d movie collects 30cr, the distributer gets only 12-15cr(remember d multiplex strike, it was 50-55% deal) so 50% goes to multiplex. Nett gain= 15cr.

    so if Baba arts has to get profit movie has to make 60cr, den they `ll recover those 30cr…:)

    Got it or am i confusin u….;)

    but nw DDD s doin gud business at single screens so distributer share `ll increase… at present distributer share is 20-21cr in 7days…:) so 12-18cr nett business shud get DDD a hit status…;)

    Rt INDICINE?

    Exactly.. And we said 65 crores for a clean hit because, a film cannot be awarded HIT status if it merely manages to recover its investment.. It has to do much more..

    Not 12 – 18 crores though.. It has to do much more.. Around 20 – 22 crores approx

    Barring a few, almost every comment of yours is great to read Amish.. ;)

  • Indicine Team– gave 12-18cr range bcoz of higher distributer share from single screens..;) its 35/65 % basis rt..

    By d way thanks…;) Barrin a few bcoz sometimes v need to critisize u rt….;)

  • What is the possible verdict for DDD?do you know the budget of upcoming Akki’s movies.

    Average – Above Average likely.. HIT unlikely unless it holds up like Wanted did at single screens.. Has fallen badly at multiplexes.. First week nett – 34 crores..
  • If DDD grosses around 20 crore during it’s second week will it be a semi hit right?

    Grosses 20 crores? Then the nett gross would be around 14 crores, which would be good as long as Week 3 adds another 6 – 8 crores nett
  • RADIO movie was released a day before PAA, i have seen the review of PAA, but why till now there is no review/information about RADIO ?
