  • why akshya kumar’ chandni chowk to china flopped. although akshya and deepika worked hand but failed to capture crowd like singh is king.

    Because it was an extremely poor film!
  • why yuvraaj film flopped when salman and katrina kaif tried their best to save film from being levelled FLOPPED.

    Movie should have ideally released a decade ago. Such movies dont work in Bollywood anymore!

    4. Imran Khan and Shenaz Treasurywala (remember the actress of Ishq Vishq?). Release date not confirmed yet

    2.what is the realease date of dulha milgaya and my name is khan?

    3.rab ne.. worldwide gross 180 crores, is it true?

    1. The film was sold for 35 crores. The opening week nett gross could be around 17 crores. If the movie sustains in the second week, it could just about manage a hit. Most likely to end up as a average – above average grosser.

    2. Dulha Mil Gaya will most probably release in May, the film has been in the making for a long time now! My Name Is Khan will release late November.

    3. Yup around that figure. Ghajini grossed more than 200 crores.

  • what was total cost of luck by chance?

    slumdog.. total earn and still 360 crores is it true?its a biggest hit of bollywood ever?

    billu barber song hit or flop

    It was sold for about 15 crores.

    Slumdog Millionaire is NOT a Bollywood film!!!

    Billu songs have done well!

  • Sorry for the delay guys. We were all held up with some of the site upgrade issues. We shall answer all the questions within a couple of days.

    Thanks

  • how can you make a small step to become a big star in bollywood? to even start? get a chance? without getting embarassingly dismissed? how do you become noticed by big people? without even acting? where can i go to start acting seriously? have the starts now only become noticed because they knew big people,? i want to make MY mark!

    Its not easy to get noticed to make it big in Bollywood, its all about luck! Your best bet would be to join a filmmaking school like Subhash Ghai Whistling Woods visit http://www.whistlingwoods.net
  • can you get accepted by bollywood if ur short ( 5ft) and a little bit dark?

    Females who are short (Rani) with slightly darker complexion (Kajol) can make it to the big league. Dont loose hope, if acting is your passion, try joining an acting school and work your way up. With a bit of talent and a lot of luck, you just might make it! :)
  • do you think that the film DEV D has spoiled the image of original Dev Das as conceived by the writer. the producer and director has made mockery of the original version of the character Dev Das. such type of distortion should be avoided. please comment.

    Dev D has received extreme reactions. There are many who have loved the film and the way it has been presented! The movie is doing decent business at the BO
  • indicine team please can you wright (dev d)movie review.thanks

    Our opinions on Dev D was totally mixed. While some in our team loved it, some other totally rejected it. The film has received an extreme response its either hate or love. So we decided not to review the film
  • I m shocked when u tell Andazz apna apna was a flop movie..Is this true?………I have read the prediction of akshay kumar by one person rajeev ..i forget his surname.he said that Only Kambatt ishq and Housefull will be major success this year wht do u think abt it

    Yes Andaaz Apna Apna flopped at the box-office!! There are so many predictions made, by so many astrologers. One even said CC2C will be the biggest hit ever!
  • which is the best film in bollywood

    Drona and Chandni Chowk To China! On a serious note, how can we answer such questions! There are soo many great films! Most believe Sholay is the best Bollywood film ever!
  • what is dev patel of slumdog milionaire doing now??any thng in hollywood or bollywood??

    Answered above
  • 1. Was AFLATOON a hit movie?
    2. I have seen Tasveer 8×10 promos and Bollywood King: Akshay Kumar is going to give us a superhit movie. Will be Tasveer 8x 10 Blockbuster ?
    3. Has Srk insult all the Barber in India, because he has removed the Barbar of Billu Barbar ?

    4. is Billu Barbar going to be average?

    5. Is A.R. Murgadose( director of Ghajini ) a Hindu?

    6.Who is going to win this year filmfare Award for Best Actor: King Akshay Kumar, Amir Khan or Hrithik Roshan?
    7. Will be Delhi 6 a superhit movie?

    1. No the Akshay – Urmila movie was a Boxoffice disaster!
    2. We havent seen the film, so cannot comment on its box-office fate. The promos look good.
    3. No he hasnt! Doesnt sound like a insult in any way!
    4. Yes, it will most probably end up as an average grosser.
    5. Yes.
    6. Hrithik Roshan, most likely! I dont think your King Kumar has any chances. But even if he does win, he will reject it and award it to Aamir. He dedicated both his Padma Shri and Screen Award to Aamir!!! Screen awards is fine, but Padma Shri? Hmmm..
    7. Read our review, which will be up on Friday, to find out!
