Latest from BOI : 2 States did 90 crore business after 2 weeks, still going strong and has strong chances to cross 100 crores' mark.

I saw the movie, found it just theek thaak, not too interesting & entertaining, it was..but in bits & parts not thoroughally enjoyable, nothing new in story, and frankly if I would have not knew it was a novel's adaptation, I could not even think that as this film feels like any regular routine bollywood film based on a cliched' script, barring its exciting title/name or the unique combo of amrita & revathi.

Films like shadi kay side effects and Main tera hero were more or less at the same level...but did just average business...almost half business of 2 states. Highway and HTP were better movies but only hit hardly 30 crorrs lifetime, even an exceptional movie Queen did 60 cr total lifetime...

I have nothing against 2 'states. It was just a fair timepass film at best, I like both the lead players and all of the character actors, glad it worked for the industry... BUT.. being just a viewer, I cant get simply that what was so special that this film not only took a great start, but still holding extremely well and great chances to do or even cross 100 crore mark... seriously boxoffice is out of anyone's understanding.

what's your take on this ...

I am actually glad that these movies are doing well... and it was a well made movie which clicked with youngsters also being made from the best selling book also might have added to the BO..
when compared to the 100 cr -200 cr crap that's being dished out by the older gen actors, I am glad the younger lot has much better sense at choosing the script.

Their is no other movie for competition, even in the month of may there are no big releases, I think that's why its doing so much business.
Whereas in February this year there was a movie releasing every week, and each of them ate into each others BO collections
Also because its a chetan bhagat novel so it had a lot of pre release buzz
Even when I watched it I found nothing special, it was an ok movie with a simple storyline.
