JAZBAA Takes A Decent Start, THE WALK Can Spring A Surprise
Last two weeks saw interesting mix of the film but this week it is more about Bollywood versus Hollywood versus South. Bollywood has one big film to offer which is ''Jazbaa'', comeback vehicle of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Hollywood has highly acclaim ''The Walk, ''Pan'' and ''Sicario''. ''Rudramdevi'' from south will also fight at box office.
''Jazbaa'' has got very good reviews which will work good for the film if it gets some kind of acceptance among classes as Sanjay Gupta brand will ensure some kind of footfall among masses. Film has opened to good occupancy of 25-30% in Gujarat, UP, CI considering it has wide release across 1850 screens. If it gets good jump in evening then it can cross magic figure of 4.5-5 cr nett.
''The Walk'' has created some kind of excitement and buzz in India among niche metro audience and it should post good numbers over weekend. ''Sicario'' has got very good reviews so that can also add up some number though its action thriller crime genre might work against it. ''Pan'' will work among target audience of kids and fantasy lovers.
''Rudramdevi'' has opened to unflattering numbers of around 10-15% though it is better than dismal show of ''Puli'' last week. Still it will need big jumps in order to make any impact.
