Filmi Fiscal: What's cooking at the BO

How much moolah did the films that released last weekend rake in? Was it a hit or a miss? CNN-IBN’s Rohit Khilnani gets you the box office report and the right figures on which film is doing good business and which isn’t.

This week on Filmi Fiscal we take a look on what’s the state of Bheja Fry and Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee at the box office.

Bheja Fry, a light comedy with no star power but couple of character artists didn’t do what it was suppose to.

This film opened only between 15 to 20 per cent and we think it is because there is nothing attractive about the film.

And if our bhejas were not fried enough director Vikram Bhatt returned with Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee.

This film also got a poor opening between 15 to 20 per cent. One could blame the state of the film on Vikram Bhatt’s track record – if Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee bombs then this will be his ninth flop in a row.

Bheja Fry
Opening : 15 to 20 %
Blame it on : Nothing attractive about it

Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee
Opening : 15 to 20 %
Blame it on : Vikram Bhatt's track record

CRITIC'S VERDICT
Bheja Fry:
CNN-IBN - 2 / 5
Sunday Mid-Day - 2 / 5
Asian Age - 2 / 5
Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee:
CNN-IBN - 1 / 5
Trade Guide - 2.5 / 5
Sunday Mid-Day - 1 / 5
Asian Age - 2 / 5

Film-o-meter on last week’s releases

Starting with soon to be Mrs Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai’s film Provoked is a flop. Well, maybe Abhishek will get her the required luck.

And one movie’s fate that most people can predict is Shakalaka Boom Boom and yes, it is a flop.
