PREDICTION FOR 'MAUSAM'

Four Seasons.

Four Colors.

Four different age groups of the lead protagonists.

Four true historical events.

This is what constitutes Pankaj Kapur's directorial debut ' Mausam.

But will the audiences 'shower' their love (and also money) on the film this week ?

Our in-house expert and noted astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi predicts the fate of this mature love story:

"The title 'MAUSAM' adds up to Number 19 ' this octave of Number 1 is an extremely fortunate and favorable number. It is symbolized as "the Sun" and promises happiness, success, esteem and honor. A very lucky number for future events" explains Bhavikk.

"Plus the year 2011 which adds up to Number 4 (Rahu) is supporting most people, places or names adding up to Numbers 1, 2, 4 or 7 and 'Mausam' fits the bill directly here as well and that's a bonus".

He continues "Add to that, the father-son duo Shahid Kapoor (25^th Febraury 1981) who running in his 31^st year (4) and Pankaj Kapur (29^th May 1954) in his 58^th year (4) also come under this bracket and that will prove be an added advantage".

"Quite obvious but still, expect praises galore for Shahid's portrayal of four different characters/looks and Pankaj's skilled craftsmanship as a first time director" predicts Bhavikk.

"Not to be left behind, Sonam Kapoor (9^th June 1985) in her 27^th year will deliver a likeable performance. Currently the Sun is in the zodiac sign of Virgo (23^rd August ' 22^nd September) which is primarily ruled by Number 5 (Mercury). Being a Gemini, she is also ruled by the same number and so she will also be liked by everyone".

"All in all, this 'mausam' will be long lasting" signs off Bhavikk on a positive note.

Let me stick out my name on Mausam..

Like I predicted for Singham that it will do 80cr-100cr, let me stick out my neck and say Mausam will do the same. Like in case of Singham, let me give my reasons:

1. It is not playing safe. A full-on love story in times of masala actioners and frothy rom-coms
2. Now when is going against the stream good strategy. When the audience has its fill of water from that stream. Ghajini, Wanted, Dabbang, Singham, Bodyguard.. that's quite enough. I am not saying another actioner will not do well ( I actually fel even Force will do will, because Nishikant Kamat wil add a fresh touch to the basically good material.) , but that something fresher will find wide acceptance.
3. Films like Bodyguard and MBKD have run out of steam, giving Musam the chance to realize its full potential.
4. It's going all out , with full commitment to the genre, like Delly Belly did with its genre and unlike Ra One which is trying to play it too safe. " Barish rukne se pehle ye bataa do, ki main jeeon, ya ( pause) mar jaaoon". Grat gumption. And Shahid manages to deliver it with charm and conviction.
5. Rabba Main Mar Gay is s great song to propel the film forward.
6. It's been ages since anyone in Bolywood has tried to tell great love story. Love in the time of cholera, communal riots, shipwreck.. they always work big time. Which was the last such Bollywood film. Bombay maybe. Mughal-e-Azam before that.) HDDCS to some extent. Devdas a failed attempt.. ( Without the epic backdrop, Sadma would count. A poignant love story against an epic backdrop The audience hasn't seen one in a long time. Veer Zaara. Yes. But not great enough. ( AS an aside, surprising that even Shahrukh with his long list of romantic films, does not have one truly great love story, that's touching and poignant. Veeer Zaara is the closest. Frothy stuff like DDLJ or KKHH don't count. I am talking of a Casablanca or Titanic..at both ends of era and styling. )
7. Pankaj Kappor as an outsider , with his roots in theater, may pull it off, giving us something that is not assembly-line, something not plastic, something not inspired by Hollywood.
8. One caveat, when you are going against the stream, the product has to be outstanding, uncompromisingly perfect ( a la Delhi Belly.). Just being good or in any way half-baked will not be good enough. ( example Halla Bol, Rocket Singh.)
9. So at this stage, until I have actually seen the film, let me peg it at 70-80 cr.
( Can you list your all-time great Bollywood love stories that are poignant t and touching.)

Q. Can you tell me what will be the final investments on Mausam and Rockstar?
A. Mausam will have a landing cost of around 60 crore while Rockstar will have a landing cost of 75 crore.

Q. How will Mausam open at the box office and what will be the weekend collection be?
A. These type of romances depend on word of mouth. Mausam is likely to have a 6 crore first day and then the target will be to get around 40 crore in the week on good word of mouth.

Not a very good prediction by BOI...

Box Office Prediction: Mausam

With rain gushing down in almost every corner of India, it is the season of love when everyone started falling in love with the rain as it brings some sigh of relief from this hot and sultry weather. And to celebrate this season, director Pankaj Kapoor has opted for the right 'mausam' for his filmMausam's (a timeless love story) release. It is scheduled to be released on September 23, 2011.

Mausam is a sweet love story between a Punjabi Air Force Officer, Harry (Shahid Kapur) and an innocent Kashmiri refugee Aayat, (Sonam Kapoor) in times of political and religious tensions. Their love transcends beyond boundaries, beyond romance with love growing ever strong from season to season.

The first season is about attraction between the two, the second season about developing into young love, the third about separation wherein they realise the depth in their love and in the fourth season after sacrificing a lot, they finally get back together. It's a journey of love in its purest form.

So, how will this movie fare at the box-office? Let's find out!

Sonam Kapoor, born on June 9, 1985 is a Gemini and her ruling number is 9. A very talented and hard working Sonam has the planet Mercury in her favour which suggests that projects will move ahead at a good pace and will be fairly successful. This year she will be making many right choices and will come up with something great that will impress just about everyone.

Shahid Kapur (February 25, 1981) is a Piscean with 7 as his ruling number. Jupiter is placed in the 12th House of his birth chart which indicates that he will find luck, good fortune for his work. Inspiration and support will come his way. He has complete faith and surrendered himself to this film which will definitely pay off at the end.

Mausam will draw a lot of cinegoers to the theatres, thanks to the pairing of Shahid Kapur and Sonam Kapoor, who are coming together for the first time. Of late, Bollywood has not come up with a pure love story. So, Mausam has a very good chance to make up for it. It may not be an epic love story but the film will find its takers and will do good business at the box office.

Film Trac

With the FTI derived from FilmTrac we expect MBKD to open with ' 20-24 crore during the opening weekend and it should end up with with ' 35-42 crore during the first week. Since the FilmTrac data shows that Mausam is heavily dependent on a high percentage of 'urgency to watch' among those who 'definitely want to watch' we estimate Mausam to open on Friday with ' 8-12 crore and if the film's word of mouth is poor it will collapse to ' 16-18 crore the first week. Otherwise it can easily get a first weekend of ' 30-35 crore and the first week of ' 50 crore. This film is heavily dependent on the opening day's word-of-mouth and hence collection forecasts from the FilmTrac are conditional.
