Lafangey Parindey is low on merits as it fails to touch the heart. Strong emotions and hit music could’ve made a big difference, but without them, it remains too ordinary a fare to leave an impact. In spite of a moderate budget, the film will not be able to make profits as its business in multiplexes will be average and in single-screen cinemas, below average. Publicity: good but not exciting enough. Opening was below the mark at most of the places.
The other two releases this week, Amol Palekar’s …And Once Again and Bitch Slap had dull openings. Flop.
Aamir Khan’s Peepli Live has done fantastic business. First week’s share from India is over Rs. 10 crore! The film also did very well in the weekend in the US and Gulf. Total collections Rs. 13,52,24,201 from 296 cinemas.
Among other releases last week, Help is dull. Total Rs. 1,38,94,005 from 236 cinemas. Maut Ke Saudagar (dubbed) is less than ordinary. Total Rs. 1,12,78,106 from 136 cinemas. The Expendables (E.) is not upto the mark. Total Rs. 1,31,21,649 from 109 cinemas.
