Arshad Warsi’s brush with film production may haunt him like a ghost for the rest of his life. For, his first venture, Hum Tum Aur Ghost, failed to make any mark with kids as well as adults. The story about benign ghosts, of course, was never expected to scare the audience or give them thrills and chills, but it didn’t even entertain, which it was expected to do. Studio 18, which backed the project, will lose a fortune (read Rs. 15 crore) while Warsi will lose face. Rightly is it said, film production is not everybody’s cup of tea.
Karan Razdan’s Mittal V/s Mittal was destined to flop like the marriage of the protagonists in the film. Obviously, you can’t make a film with Rohit Roy in the male lead and expect the audience to come in. Rohit can be seen free on the TV screen, why would people so willingly pay money to watch him in the theatres? The only solace is that this double Mittal film didn’t cost a bomb to make. Small investment, small losses.
PVR’s Prem Kaa Game did not find any prem from the public. Again, a small-budget film but a poor show, nevertheless. Total loss.
None of the running films are also doing any great business at the ticket windows. The box-office is bleeding!
