Q. Delhi Belly has 950 cinema release and Murder 2 has 1150 cinema release then why is Murder 2 a bigger hit?
A. Films like Murder 2 and Haunted 3D may have more cinemas but there ability to collect is less than films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Delhi Belly as they have much smaller multiplex release. The release size also has to take into account the potential to collect.

Q. There has been a mixed response to Bodyguard promo on twitter and in general, can it still be huge at the box office?
A. The internet forms a very small segment of the film watching public and Twitter is even smaller. The Bodyguard promo is very cleverly cut as it highlights the action as makers know its a five day weekend and action helps hugely with initial. Bodyguard is all about getting the public to connect with the love story in the film and hit music then even 3 Idiots lifetime business may be possible. An action love story with hit music is a lethal combination at the box office especially when you the top male and female stars of the time.
