Kismet Love Paisa Dilli (KLPD) Box Office Prediction

Director: Sanjay Khanduri

Producers: Invincible Entertainment Pvt Ltd

Writers: Sanjay Khanduri

Cast: Vivek Oberoi, Mallika Sherawat, Ashutosh Rana, Anshuman Jha

Music: Amjad Nadeem and Santokh Singh

Genre: Thriller, Comedy

Release Date: October 5, 2012

Analysis:

Star Value: Both Vivek Oberoi and Mallika Sherawat are famous actors but they are no longer crowd pullers. Hence, the star value for Kismet Love Paisa Dilli (KLPD) is just average.

Hype: The promos of the film have failed to create any major buzz or excitement. The makers have promoted the film well but that has not helped much. Hence, there is hardly any hype for KLPD.

Music: The song ‘Dhishkyaon’ is a good peppy number which has become somewhat known. The rest of the songs have hardly succeeded in making a mark.

Prediction:

Kismet Love Paisa Dilli (KLPD) won’t get a good opening at the box office. If it manages to super impress, it will get an average response, mostly in the single screens. Overall, it looks difficult for the film to succeed at the ticket window.

English Vinglish Box Office Prediction

Director: Gauri Shinde

Producers: Eros International and Hope Productions

Writers: Gauri Shinde

Cast: Sridevi, Mehdi Nebbou, Priya Anand, Sulbha Deshpande, Amitabh Bachchan

Music: Amit Trivedi

Genre: Drama

Release Date: October 5, 2012

Analysis:

Star Value: Sridevi, one of the most loved actresses of Bollywood, is making a comeback after 15 long years. This has created some excitement for the movie although she won’t be a crowd puller by any means.

Hype: The unusual first teaser of the film (where Sridevi reads a censor certificate) made heads turn. The main promos have received a decent response. The overall hype is good although not as high as one would expect from Sridevi’s comeback movie.

Music: Only the title track has become somewhat popular. ‘Navrai Majhi’ is also slowly becoming known.

Prediction:

English Vinglish will get an average to decent opening at the box office. The film will score more at urban multiplexes while it will struggle at single screens and small centers. But like last week’s OMG! Oh My God, this film too relies more on word-of-mouth and it shouldn’t be judged by its’ first weekend collection, especially the first day. It should earn around 15-20 crore in the first weekend. If it impresses initially and gets a strong word-of-mouth, it might surprise us and earn more.
