Q. The industry endorsed Finding Fanny a big way but public totally rejected it so is this the reason why nearly all films flop as industry have totally different tastes compared to the audience.
Ans. Its not as if all the industry endorsed some will and some won't and even the ones who do its probably not about the film but about relationships with people involved in the film. Its easy to tell when praise is genuine as that film may not be a hit but will have some sort sustainment at the box office, when a film crashes like Finding Fanny it looks a case of trying to give it a push over the weekend and it worked to a certain extent but eventually word of mouth tells all.

Q. Can any cinema in India collect 1 crore in a week?
Ans. It is possible but has not been done yet. One multiplex went to 85 lakhs nett for Dhoom 3 so it will be just a matter of time.

Q. It is many times written on website that Salman Khan is biggest star in India but i am pretty sure that here in Chennai he is not even in top three and it can't be much different in other big cities of India.
Ans. You are right in Chennai he is not in top three and it will be similar in rest of Tamil Nadu or Kerala and Bangalore but this is not representative of major Hindi film markets. In these areas it is an English speaking audience for Hindi films while the mass audience watches regional film. Its a bit like Rajnikant will be tops in Chennai and the rest of Tamil Nadu but in a Delhi, Chandigarh or Jaipur he will not be in top ten. In most places Salman Khan is top, there are a few exceptions like West Bengal and most parts of South India.
