Yash Raj Films made quite a killing at the box office last year with all of their films striking gold at the box office, be it JAB TAK HAI JAAN (Hit), ISHAQZAADE (Super Hit), and of course, EK THA TIGER (All Time Blockbuster). Yash Raj Films has even more in their plate with DHOOM 3 releasing at the end of the year.

But first, they have another, smaller film coming up: SHUDDH DESI ROMANCE.

The film's promos seems to have garnered appreciation. The film has strong buzz. The other positive factors that the film has going for it are the actors/director. Sushant Singh Rajput is remembered well by people for KAI PO CHE. Parineeti Chopra impressed audience with her performance in ISHAQZAADE. Rishi Kapoor is also in the film.

Director Maneesh Sharma made his directorial debut with BAND BAAJA BARAAT, which received tremendous appreciation. His last film LADIES VS RICKY BAHL did decently, but that one under-performed due to burden of expectations after BAND BAAJA BARAAT. This time, the director has a fresh casting and is directing after two years, thus lowering expectations and increasing freshness.

Also, romantic films mainly have been the flavor this year, so it increases the chances of this film working.

Film might have a low opening but should pick up with good word of mouth publicity, I feel. Film will fare best amongst small town youth given the theme of the film revolving around small town youth/couples.

My Box Office Predictions for SHUDDH DESI ROMANCE:

Opening Day: 5 crores net

Opening Weekend: 20+ crores net

Lifetime Collections: 50 crores net

Overall Box Office Verdict: Hit

You don't think PC's Zanjeer is at all any competition? Your opening weekend collections seem to be right but 50 crores seems far fetched. The topic of the film only caters to certain segments of the audience.

Oh and btw, Satyagraha has apparently collected near 40 cr., I think that may also give stiff competition to the next two releases.
