When two films clash at the box-office, it is rarely seen that both of them have got equal number of screens. Mostly big films get more screens and the smaller films get less number of screens. The same thing has happened this week ‘Jai Gangaajal’ has more screens and ‘Zubaan’ has been released in less number of screens.
‘Zubaan’s director Mozez Singh said, "We did face a dearth of theatres and screens. I guess the other release is much bigger than ours and starring a very big international star (Priyanka Chopra). But we are hopeful we will get more screens as the week passes by."
A trade analyst said, "Stars sell. And that's the bottom line about all discussions on the distribution of screens and theatres. Band mutthi lakh ki....khuljaye toh phir khaak ki...Till Friday the multiplexes had choice of two films and Priyanka starrer definitely looked much better on paper and Prakash Jha is a big maker."
