There will be two new releases on Friday but not much can be expected from them. Mumbai 125KM and Sonali Cable are not only restricted by no face value but also by the fact they coming on the dullest week of the year. It is Pre Diwali so even if some what decent content is there its unlikely to translate into box office figures.
Both film should record better opening figures than last week's releases Ekkees Topon Ki Salaami and Tamanchey but that is still from even respectable numbers. Bang Bang and Haider have not sustained well despite a practically three week open run and are likely to fall further although they should collect better than Mumbai 125Km and Sonali Cable.
The wait now is for Happy New Year which is almost certain to set a new all India first day box office record and the question is how far above can it go of the 32 crore nett of Dhoom 3. The film industry had seen a good run from 2006-2012 until business sort of stagnated last year and this year is looking at a poorer result unless Happy New Year and PK can put up big lifetime numbers. There have been three event films this year in Jai Ho, Kick and Bang Bang but only Kick has worked at the box office and so if Happy New Year can work it will even things up as far as event films are concerned.
