Predicting the future for films

A flurry of films is releasing now that the battle of the producers-multiplexes is over. We spoke to astro numerologist expert Bhavikk Sangghvi about the fate of films releasing in the second half of 2009 which are expected to wake up Bollywood out of its gloom.

The predictions for New Releases are as follows¦

3 July: KAMBAKKHT ISHQ : Hit. Both Kareena & Akshay will benefit.

10 July: SHORTKUT : Average. Akshaye Arshad will be appreciated but nothing great.

17 July: JASHNN : Good effort by the cast & crew but will go unnoticed.

24 July: LUCK : Average. Too many cooks ( actors ) spoil the broth.

31 July: LOVE AAJ KAL : Hit in metros. Average elsewhere. Will be appreciated in metros & multiplexes.

7 August: AGYAAT : Average. Initial response will be good but the euphoria will soon settle down. Downslide from Monday onwards.

14 August: KAMINEY and LIFE PARTNER : HITS. Both films will enjoy long weekend. Kaminey will be more appreciated. Life Partner may do better business commercially.

21 August to 11 September [Ramzan]: Any film can come in this period

18 September: WANTED and DIL BOLE HADIPPA : FLOPS. WANTED will not do well as expected. Salman will be liked though. Might work in some small centres. DIL BOLE HADIPPA will fizzle out.

25 September: WHAT'S YOUR RAASHEE? : AVERAGE. Over-hype will hamper the prospects of this film. May just about recover.

2 October: WAKE UP SID and DO KNOT DISTURB : WAKE UP SID will be welcomed by the youth. Ranbir's fan following will increase. Multiplex HIT. DO KNOT DISTURB will also do very well. HIT.

9 October [pre-Diwali week]: No major release yet

16 October [Diwali]: BLUE ALADIN and MAIN AUR MRS. KHANNA : HIT. BLUE will do pretty well. The film will raise the bar of Hindi cinema. ALADIN will create a buzz but would be sidelined. FLOP. MAIN AUR MRS.KHANNA may attract initial footfalls but disappoint in the long run. AVERAGE.

23 October: No major release yet

30 October: LONDON DREAMS : HIT. Will generate huge collections but will not sustain curiosity. Asin will be liked the most.

6 November: AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI : HIT. Ranbir-Katrina jodi will be something to watch out for.

13 November: TUM MILE : Will do just about okay. Nothing more nothing less !

20 November: No major release yet

27 November: DE DHAN DHANA DHAN : AVERAGE. Will start off well but business will get affected as days go by.

Note : All predictions are based on these given release dates. Any change in schedule & the prediction / outcome of the film will change.

You do the math. Bollywood is already getting busy to turn the scale of fortune in their favour after reading this.
