John Abraham has been going through a good phase lately. In 2011, FORCE started to get John known as an action star, and this film made Sajid Khan want John to do action in his Super Hit HOUSEFULL 2. DESI BOYZ (2011) did okay at the box office. His production, VICKY DONOR, was a Super Hit and was regarded by many as one of the best films of last year. Then, in January, he had RACE 2, which was a 100 crore Hit. John is back!

This Friday, his next film, I ME AUR MAIN, will release in theaters.

I ME AUR MAIN is a bit different from what John has been doing lately. He's been doing more action scenes recently in his films, but I ME AUR MAIN is different. It looks like more of a multiplex-style rom-com. Nothing wrong with that, but the problem is, the film has almost no buzz!

The theatrical trailer of the film couldn't create much of an impact. Neither could any of the other promos of the film. To be honest, this looks like a film that will do poorly. But, there is a positive side. Apparently, the film is structured in such a way that it won't lose money. The cost of the film seems to have been kept under check.

The film will definitely take a low opening. Business will be better at the multiplexes of big cities.

Opening Day: 3 crores net
Opening Weekend: 10 crores net
Lifetime: 20 crores net
Overall Box Office Verdict: Average

No need to worry for John though, as SHOOTOUT AT WADALA is around the corner!

As for Chitrangda (๐Ÿ˜ณ) I hope she finds a lot of success in her future films!

Not sure about Prachi.

Thank you!
I am skeptical too...this film is slow paced rom-com...but songs are nice...
As you said budget is kept in check too!
I am disappointed with timing, its coming in between two action films of John
John is having good run at BO, not sure of this one, But I am very happy SAW in coming in just two months!!!!!
As for both heroines, both Chitra and Prachi have looked fab...

Thanks for sharing your opinion ๐Ÿ˜Š

For me, it seems a little weird seeing Prachi doing this kind of role because I am so used to seeing her in her innocent looks in the show "Kasamh Se" ๐Ÿ˜†

I watched that song Na Jaane...and Prachi tries too hard to be hot and sexy IMO, whereas Chitrangda was hotter! As she is anyway...Prachi's face looks messed close up

'I, Me Aur Main' Has Already Recovered Its Making Cost

February 26th, 2013 by Joginder Tuteja

Has John Abraham played a smart game in ensuring that his romcom turns out to be a safe outing at the box office even before its release? If the numbers that have just come in are any indications, this is indeed the case.

"Including the cost of the film's making and other expenses related to promotion and release, I, Me Aur Main comes with a price tag of less than 20 crores. Since the sale of satellite rights, music, home video as well as overseas collections are bringing in a good sum already, the film has already recovered the making cost. Now all that is left to cover are the P&A expenses and that is bound to come by through domestic box office collections", informs out well placed source connected to the film.

For John, who is riding high on the 100 crore success of Race 2, this should indeed be music to ears. Moreover with a much better standing in the industry today post the success of Force andHousefull 2, a solo release and multi-starrer respectively, he has all the reasons to believe that I, Me Aur Main would hit gold as well.

Says John, "Well, I want to be appreciated by my audience as well. I am very proud of my director Kapil Sharma. He has made such a beautiful film. Moreover the film speaks an altogether different language. Money will come but I want audience to enjoy the fact that we have brought in something really new. Yes, I, Me aur Main is already a commercial plus. However is that good enough? No, not really. The film is much beyond commerce."
