Q. Which movies have best chance of breaking opening day collections of Happy New Year this year? A. This year, only Shahrukh Khan’s Dilwale will have a realistic chance of breaking the opening day record of ‘Happy New Year’  i.e if it releases on Christmas holiday (25th December). Any film releasing on a working day or a restricted holiday will find it difficult. The other two films releasing during the two main festive seasons are Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. But Bajrangi Bhaijaan releases during the Pre-Eid period and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is scheduled to release on ‘Diwali puja’ day.

Will any film cross the footfalls of HAHK or DDLJ?

Q. Will there be any movie in future which will cross the footfalls of Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, DDLJ and Gadar? – Lokesh Goel A. It will be difficult. In the last 10 years, 3 Idiots received the highest number of footfalls for a Bollywood film and even then it struggled to come close to the footfalls of films like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, DDLJ and Gadar. There are several reasons why footfalls at theatres have reduced in the last decade or so. The audience has many more entertainment options today, as compared to 15-20 years ago. Hundreds of television channels and online video streaming websites like Youtube. Also, the ticket prices have increased quite significantly, not many families can afford to pay Rs 2000 for every movie outing. And finally, there is piracy too. Downloading and watching a movie from the internet is easy. So, unless a film is truly worth the price of a ticket, audiences prefer to stay away from theatres.
