Okay so I finally watched it and I gotta say, it wasn't as bad as I expected. Was it good? No. But it wasn't a disaster. I think Kareena was the saving grace of the film. Holy effin shiz, she was amazing.

The supporting cast sucked, but Divya, Govind, Shahana were good as well. Randeep was good at bits, and really meh at bits. For some reason, I have nothing to say about Arjun. His acting was just at par. Could have been worse, and definitely could have been better. He seemed disinterested. Mughda Godse.. lol was she even needed, really?

The screenplay was faulty. The story, ngl, was really interesting at bits, and then next moment something happens and it just left me thinking, "W*F was the point of that!?" (eg. abortion, Mahi's 'homosexual experience' bits). Some parts just seemed too forced in. I also wished there were better dialogues, and definitely a better ending, and less of the stereotypical homosexuals.

Despite all that, I think Kareena saved the day. She was superb. I'd give it a 3/5 (an extra star just for her!)

Thats true. The hit status of a film is decided based on the distributors losses/profits. Otherwise producers dont really reveal the true budget of the movie for two reasons-to save face later on and also because lots of black money finances these movies. Like Anurag changed the budget from 18 cr to 32 cr. Kareena's fees ranged from 1.5 cr to 8 cr. But whether someone admits or not Heroine is a disaster at the BO. In my city the movie is already out of the theatres but Barfi, Raaz and ETT are still playing.

most of the time producers manage to make their profit or atleat break even frm whatever the sources , be it music , Satellite rights and whatever the movie earns , they face losses only if movie is a disaster and expensive ... its the distributors who suffer and a movie is a flop if a distributor can not make profit

like in Ra -one case ... SRK made his recovery whatever he spent on the movie frm various sources and whatever movie earned frm india and overseas , distributors faced losses so movie was flop

^ In Ra one, distributed were safe and make profits too. Only in one area distributors made losses eventhough it was sold for a very high price. Ra one was a HIT. ( BOI/ KOIMOI/ TARAN clearly mentioned it. But as always some wanna be BO pundits who have sources from 5-10 cinema halls gonna release verdicts against movies due to agenda) BOI clearly mentioned which areas made profits, which areas covered prices and which areas( CI i GUESS) were under losses.

In Heroine, Kareena already proved her acting skills and also star power. I am sure, it 's BO verdict will be avbelow avg. Because BOI/TARAN/KOMAL have sources across india unlike wanna be chotu motu BO analyzers. IF KOMAL says this, this should be true. But it depends on the price they sell. But I am sure this is not a flop or disaster overall. Ovreall verdict considering every area will be below avg/avg.

Movies may do lesser than they expect, that doesnt mean they are flops🥱

HEROINE' ECONOMICS

Posted on September 29, 2012

NOT-SO-HEROIC PERFORMANCE OF 'HEROINE'
AT THE BOX-OFFICE

In just a week, Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine has more or less run out of steam. The film, which netted Rs. 22 crore in India in the first weekend, ended up collecting just Rs. 30-31 crore at the end of seven days. From this, the share accruing to UTV and its distributors is only roughly Rs. 15-16 crore. Given that the share in the rest of the film's run in the cinemas would not be more than Rs. 1 to 2 crore, the total India theatrical business will be around Rs. 17-19 crore. In the Overseas, the film is expected to do a business of Rs. 3-4 crore. Its satellite rights may not fetch more than Rs. 8-9 crore as the film is certified for adults, has a lot of scenes showing Kareena Kapoor smoking, and has not fared too well at the ticket windows. Taking another couple of crores for audio and home video, the total revenues for Heroine would add up to Rs. 31-33 crore.

The cost of production of the woman-centric film is approximately Rs. 28-29 crore. Add to this another Rs. 10-12 crore for promoting and releasing the film, and another at least Rs. 4 crore spent in the earlier Heroine with Aishwarya Rai, which had to be shelved after its first shooting schedule. Therefore, as against the total cost of Rs. 42-45 crore (as explained above), the revenues would be in the region of Rs. 31-33 crore. This explains why Heroine will go down in box-office history as a loss-making film.

Bad times for Bollywood. Heroine entails 10 crore loss; KDM proves a big disaster; OMG fails to pick up at many centres after a dull start.
