'Rocket Singh' opens to shockingly low response - Page 4

Hmm... well I'm in the US and I'm not sure about how it was in India, but the promotions here have been dismal. Most people don't even know what this movie is and I didn't know that it released today!

I've only seen two commercials total for this movie (it was the same promo, just on two different days); there has been absolutely no hype at all. Now over-hyping isn't good at all, but people should atleast know that the movie exists and when it is releasing.

I guess if word of mouth is good then it will pick up this weekend.

ROCKET SINGH is a disaster : Brand Erosion

December 12, 2009 by TFSJ

While the trade was truly depressed on Friday be­cause of the disastrous opening of Rocket Singh, the distributors of the film were angry.
Yash Chopra's banner is among the very few banners in Bolly­wood which guarantee a certain quality and at least a decent opening. But Rocket Singh has broken that tradition – neither was the start good nor is the content worthy of the banner.

Had the subject been made with lesser stars like, say, Khosla Ka Ghosla!, the story may have been different. But taking such a subject for a film and making it with a star-son was probably a major mistake the production house made.

As if that weren't enough, the film's distributors complain that the film wasn't even promoted well. Lack of a proper romantic track and lip-synch songs in the film are only adding to their tale of woes. Little wonder, some of the distributors are fuming. Of course, nobody will dare spit fire in front of Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra.

Mumbai: New Moon, the latest in the Twilight series, opened to packed houses at many cinema halls in India on Friday. The opening, which is said to be in the range of 65-70 per cent occupancy, is expected to increase over the weekend. "Even the 8am show saw a House Full board, which is unprecedented by English film standards. The collections should get even bigger over the weekend," says Girish Wankhede, deputy general manager at the Cinemax chain of theatres.
