The new Hindi releases Laila Majnu and Paltan had very low collections
Paltan is directed by J.P Dutta who has epic films behind him like Ghulami, Border and others but obviously the same magic is not there anymore. Paltan has grossed around 1.15-1.25 crore nett on day one. This collection is in the same range as the MEGA BLOCKBUSTER Border released way back in 1997 which grossed 1.12 crore nett. Border smashed all initial records at the box office but Paltan will be doing nothing at the box office.
Laila Majnu grossed a very poor 30 lakhs nett and is going nowhere. The audience has an image of Laila Majnu in their mind and the trailer of this film hardly matched the image. There was a film of the same name released in 1976 which was a BLOCKBUSTER and the lifetime business of this Laila Majnu will remain well short of the 1976 film and we dont mean adjusted collections but non adjusted figures.
