Too bad you didn't get the gist of my earlier post then. Shame.

If you want to compare the makers of those highest grossing movies to the ones Salman works with, you're not going to present a solid argument.

Rohit Shetty - Has only one Flop in his entire career (Zameen) and has regularly punched above his weight. His name is synonymous with BO success. Has delivered numerous BBs and Super Hits (Singham, Golmaal 2, Golmaan Returns).

Raju Hirani - Lage Raho was a Blockbuster and the only the 4th movie in history to hit the 70 crore mark.

As for Dhoom, I never said the Director was responsible. It's a brand and as a brand, it's been the most successful franchise in Bolly history.

Ghajini is the only exception there. Yes.

As I said, you may want to believe that we shouldn't blame the makers only, which is fair enough for you, but it's an opinion and I gracefully disagree.

No filmmaker will say no to Salman. That's absolutely correct, but now let's turn to the kind of makers Salman has worked with since Dabbang:

- Abhinav Kashyap - 1st time Director. Hit the nail on the head and completely transformed the masala genre.

- Anees Bazmee - Hot and cold, but a winner at the BO when paired with big stars

- Siddiqui - An accomplished South director. Could compare him to AR Murgadoss. Ghajini is an exception as I said.

- Kabir Khan - The most talented filmmaker Salman has worked with in recent times and the only one, apart from Abhinav Kashyap, who's done the job for Salman.

- Arbaaz Khan - Ruined Dabbang franchise. First-time director.

- Sohail Khan - Hello Brother all over again with Jai Ho

- Sajid Nadiadwala - First time director. He's a businessman, not an artist.

Sooo, you want to compare Rohit Shetty and Raju Hirani to those filmmakers above? Are you serious? With the exception of Kabir Khan, none of them are capable enough to lace the boots of Rohit or Raju. Rohit because of his BO pull and Raju because of his combination of quality with quantity.

Finally, I agree with your last bit. Salman fans shouldn't be making any excuses as to why he hasn't broken 3I or D3 record. He's at equal fault, but his fault is his inability to work with the right people. A director has more responsibility to make a movie work. It's not the star only. That's something we tend to ignore. The Dhoom series is like Bond series of India. It'll work no matter how poor it is and it won't matter who directs it. But it isn't the case with movies like 3I, CE, or Kick now. They aren't franchises.

Salman doesn't interfere in the marketing of movies. You're telling me that Salman should put his foot into everything? He doesn't. He trusts people. It's his fault, for sure, that he's worked with the wrong lot and picked the wrong scripts (Jai Ho and Dabbang 2). When Dabbang 2 worked, people glossed over it, but an intelligent fan would know then and there that Salman's next movie would suffer if he continued to do such tacky movies. Jai Ho did suffer.

Just because Salman is to blame, that doesn't free the director or the screenwriter from the responsibility. They're more to fail for their stupidity and inability to capitalize on Salman's stardom. At the end, Sajid made his money. Sohail profited 100 crores through Jai Ho. Both have benefitted, but Jai Ho's lack of success in comparison to Salman's recent movies has affected Salman more than Sohail. In that sense, Salman has more to lose and he should be careful, but it's foolish to suggest that a filmmaker isn't at fault for Salman's movies not becoming the highest grosser of all time.

Kick 6th Day (Wednesday) Collection Trends. Good Again.
3


Kick is doing well again on Wednesday (6th Day) at box office as reports are received from places. Film started decently in Morning with occupancy of around 40% registered specially in multiplexes. After that film has picked up well with each passing shows through the day. Film registered occupancy of 50-55% in Noon-Afternoon shows on average across India. Right now as per latest film is registering occupancy of around 60-65% everywhere which is fantastic for 6th day.

Film is registering very good occupancy of 65-70% in Delhi right now. Occupancy in Mumbai is also same with 65-70% which is fantastic. Hyderabad is excellent again with latest occupancy is approx 85%+. Gurgaon and Pune are two centers which occupancy is on lower side today. Gurgaon latest occupancy is approx 35-40% which is still not that bad.

Coming to places like Kanpur, Lucknow and Bhopal whose business got affected during month of Ramzan. We have received samples from there and those places are rocking today Post-EID. Kanpur right now registering occupancy of 85-90%, Lucknow 90% and Bhopal 85-90% which is just outstanding.

Overall Kick is doing extremely well today. Business of film today is better than Monday (4th day). Plus film is getting benefit in Muslim dominated centers today, as audiences are coming out in numbers. Though it is too early to make any predictions, still anyone can easily estimate that Wednesday Collection will easily smash Monday figures and that too should be by a significant way.

Delhi - 65-70% [40-45% Noon-Afternoon & 30-35% Morning]
