ALIGARH Is Washout
This week is full of unexciting films from box office perspective. ''Aligarh'' is critically acclaimed but almost zilch chance at box office, ''Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive'' is equally dull and then plethora of films which are flop even before release i.e. ''Rhythm'', ''Bollywood Diaries'', ''Jab Tum Kaho'', ''Love Shagun'' and ''The Best Seller''.
''Aligarh'' is highly acclaimed film but it will find tough at box office as subject as well as feel of the content will go against it. Film has no face value and Hansal Mehta has given all dry serious films in past so no box office pull. As we predicted, film struggled throughout the day and managed 54 lakhs nett on day one.
Film will grow over weekend but then big cricket match tonight will limit its growth and even 1.75 cr nett weekend looks tough. It looks to go director'' earlier films ''Shahid'' and ''Citylights''. Flop!
