Gori Tere Pyaar Mein has proved to be a non-starter at the domestic box office, recording poor collections in almost every circuit in India. The film has collected around Rs 3 crore net on its opening day, which is about 40% lower than Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s last release together Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.
For the Punit Malhotra film to put up respectable numbers over the weekend, business has to escalate tremendously on Saturday and Sunday. Even then it’ll be difficult as the starting point is way too low.
So what went wrong? Gori Tere Pyaar Mein was promoted well, had good music and was backed by a top banner like Dharma Productions. The problem, we think, was with the casting. Imran is going through a career-low and Kareena seems to be well past her prime. In fact, this is exactly what a leading distributor told us a couple of weeks ago – “Why repeat an on-screen pair that didn’t work the first time around?”
One other factor could be the timing of release, as Ram Leela is still going strong at multiplexes and Singh Saab The Great has opened to a fantastic response at single-screens in North India.
Oh,sad. So Deepika wins over Kareena. That’s good. Kareena no longer looks good. Her time is over. Deepu is the best.
Going past besharam’s first day collections shall now be the target of the film before finishing its box office run. .hope it does that.
problem is ppl think they know everything now singh collected almost double all calculation of all the sites hs failed
singh sahab is going great it has affected gtpm… Verdict gtpm is flop while sstg is super hit..
Flop,i said it earlier!!!
Even Ramleela collected 4cr on friday and Singh saab the great collected 5.5crs..
The reason behind the underperformance of GTMP is OUATIMD, it certainly deserved more #sadfact
Readers want more and more news and article about dhoom 3. So please take a look about that..
@Anupama: just bcos a film doesnt work does not mean kareena time is over.She is the most popular actress in the world from india
Yeah, it had very popular music, Dharma productions, was promoted well, but it failed to collect even decent numbers. Although, I never expected it to open big, but its below my expectations as well.
I agree fully with this statement, “Why repeat an on-screen pair that didn’t work the first time around?”. I have said it after the release of EMAET, I will say it again, Kareena and Imran simply don’t look good with each other, they are better off with other actors. So, the fans who didn’t like this pair first time like me, would simply not go to watch them again.
Other than that, as mentioned on this article, competition with SSTG & Ram-Leela also affected its business. GTPM was expected to do well at plexes, while SSTG at single screens, but Ram-Leela is still trending well at plexes, and SSTG did well at single screens as expected.
Collections of SSTG is bigger than GTPM, and I expect SSTG to extend its lead over GTPM in upcoming days as GTPM has received mixed response by the audience, (according to many of them, its good and boring in pieces) those who like rom-coms have liked it, but others have been disappointed, while on the other hand SSTG has been liked by majority of audience, especially by the targeted audience and Sunny Deol’s fans.
Anyways, I wish them best of luck to do well at the box office.
