BlockBusted! Movies That Disappointed In 2010
You never knows what may be a hit or what constitutes miss in the Business of Bollywood.
The Box Office has its own dynamics, quite separate from the expectations of the Producer and the cast and crew of the film.
Let's take a look at the movies that were expected to be hits, but bombed terribly!
1. RaavanThe initial box office collections of the Abhishek Bachchan - Aishwarya Rai starrer Raavan on day 1, was way below the mark.In the big cities, the average collection of the first show was 50-60 per cent, whereas the initial in smaller places was in the region of 20-35 per cent. |
2. KitesThe film had a fantastic opening weekend. It made about Rs.30.5 crores(305 million rupees) net and business at multiplexes was strong, but single screens saw large drops.The film has cost its distributors a huge amount and the way the business had started slipping, they would incur heavy losses on this, and would certainly not be laughing their way to the bank. |
3. VeerVeer got off to a very strong start at single screens with 80-90% collections but multiplexes were dull with around 30-40% collections.Performed exceptionally well at single screens in its opening weekend, while most multiplexes were dull from Day 1. The shows had been reduced to one-third or one-fourth in its second week at plexes. 4. PrinceUpon release, Prince crashed at the box office. The film performed reasonably well during the first week upon its release.However its business fell by around 80% in the second week, largely attributed to its huge price tag. The film was declared a flop by the box office India

8. Chance Pe DanceDirected by Ken Ghosh; Cast; Shahid Kapoor, Genelia D'Souza. Chance Pe Dance had a lukewarm start in the domestic market.The morning and noon shows ranged from 15% to 25%. The opening has come as a rude shock to the producer and players in the film. |
