Emraan Hashmi’s MR X releases in theatres tomorrow. The film marks the return of the actor to the ‘Bhatt camp’ after several back-to-back failures with films like ‘Ghanchakkar’, ‘Raja Natwarlal’ and ‘Ungli’.
More than his ‘serial kisser’ image, music has played a very important role in Emraan’s success. Unfortunately, the music of Mr X hasn’t gained popularity and the pre-release buzz has been low. The film is likely to rely on word-of-mouth publicity, as the advance booking too has received a lukewarm response.
It’s also hard to figure out which section of audience the makers have targeted with a film like Mr X. Kissing and love-making scenes (both of which have been highlighted in the promos) might keep the family audience away and the lack of it (along with not-so-popular music) might not encourage the masses at smaller centres to come out in big numbers.
We expect the film to collect Rs 4.2 crore on its opening day at the box office and then grow over the weekend, depending on how well the critics and audience receive the film.

The landing cost of Mr X is on the higher side and the film has to collect more than 50 crore just to break-even. The other problem for Mr X is that ‘The Avengers: Age of Ultron’ releases in theatres next week, followed by Akshay Kumar’s ‘Gabbar Is Back’. So sustaining well at the box office, even if the word-of-mouth is good, will be a tough task. The only chance for the film to do well in the long run is if it carries extraordinary reports.
