Two open weeks for Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara

Prakash Jha’s Satyagraha has been postponed by a week, giving Balaji Motion Pictures’ Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara two open weeks at the box office.

Satyagraha starring Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Manoj Bajpayee, Arjun Rampal and Amrita Rao will now release on August 30. Kareena is yet to finish dubbing for the film and the promotions only started with the unveiling of the trailer on Wednesday.

The film will now clash with Vicky Donor director’s Madras Cafe, which is likely to be postponed to a later date.

The September month is packed with medium to big releases like Unglee, Zanjeer (not confirmed due to legal hassles), Shuddh Desi Romance, Phata Poster Nikhla Hero and Bullet Raja.

  • @Indicine- How much can CE,OUATIM-2 and Satyagraha collect in their lifetime if they have average contents? Can they still emerge hit? Please reply kindly.

  • its almost sure that CE will run with full houses in week 1 even if WOM Is mixed ..
    so will any theatre replace it with Outimd[which is not a mass movie ]
    n moreover it seems CE has 2 week contract too…
    Akki fans instead of fighting here
    go pray to god for OUTIMD to have atleast 2000 screens

  • remember RA one it got 25 cr on second day.,even when WOM was bad…
    25 cr was way greater than the highest then[21cr]

    Just imagine how much would CE have on each of the first four days..

    DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF SRK

  • @xzone bro the script you are saying which was made having srk in mind, was of angoor remake maybe.but this film’s script was ready a long time ago.i don’t mind you believe it or not.
    and about ra.one thing,it is not about worldwide collections,,its about domestic collections.and you can clearly see that a film which was made on 150 crores budget,couldn’t even recovered its investment(DOMESTIC COLLECTIONS ONLY),,declared hit with just 115 crores.if we see its ROI,it will be in minus.as you are srk fan,you are bound to be in your own dreamland.so,don’t want to reply you anything from now on unless you says something against akshay kumar.

  • danish
    srks last 4 movies mnik+raone+don2+jthj collected 392cr in 3years from 2010 to 2012
    where akshays movies collected 435cr in 2012 itself.
    so,srks 3years hardwork is equal to akshays one year work.
    srk was saved only because of overseas audience,after ce they will also avoid his movies.
    so,just forget srk

  • @sree why should we pray for 2000 screens??we are praying for 3500 screens.and if it will not get 3500,, 3000 screens are on the cards.and,,please don’t worry about OUATIMD my friend,we don’t need worries from at least an srk fan.we are enough to worry about ouatimd.

  • @ankur…r u sure that ce won’t get more than 3500 screens…as there is no clash and so much hype for ce, it’s not a big deal to get 4000 screens …just wait and watch…
    @boss….dude…i m aware that with a new release, distributors will bend towards new release rather than towards old one…but i think ce won’t loose more than half of its screens..so it will have a chance to collect decent amount on box-office….and btw, i m sure for a healthy collection of ouatimd as well…both will collect decent amounts on bo…..
    @nolaniitjee….look at ur face….don’t pretend like a trade analyst…u moron..

  • CE Rocks ….. It will collect 140 if WOM is bad 175 if WOM is mixed and 200+ if WOM is good .. Sky is the limit if WOM is excellent

  • @xzone well there are 4000-4500 sufficient screens in india.lets pick 4200.now,ce can get at the max 3800 screens acc. to some distributors.and,acc. to you it will get half screens in second week.means 1900-2000 screens.which makes 2000-2200 screens for OUATIMD.LOL do you really think that it will get only 2000 screens.bro even joker got around 2000-2200 screens with so much negativity around it even before film release.i am waiting for your honest reply. don’t become srk fanatic.be fan.

  • Guys plz don’t fight just remember 31st may and 7th june, what happend with yjhd and ypd2. Same thing will happen in 8th aug and 15th aug, for another yjhd and ypd2, named ce and ouatimd.

  • After ajanbee akki is playing fullfledged negative role in this movie so this factor and also the curiosity of how dawood emerges as an mafia king pin were the major thing which will pull thw crowds to theatres as the previous installment is an huge hit also there will no ajay as he performed good man role of sultan mirza but this time only EVIL rules also we cannot compare with the previous installment because
    In tht emraan hashmi just killed sultan this displays the maturity nd how he extended his empire

    But people were disappointed with love triangle but we hope there maybe major twist in the movie who knows in OUATIM series always Evil wins over good so the personal is a part of game

    By the way it got 2 weeks can be utized by the makers i think satyagraha is not at all compitent sure shot 150Cr+ BB irrespective of WOM or reviews

  • chennai express’s run will end within 1 week, it will be thrown out of theatres. max. lifetime collections will be 50-60 cr due to fans sympathy. after it is declared disaster, romance express,danish,king etc will cry on footpath. i hope salu wont drive again being drunk or else these three would be his next target.

  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara is a love triangle and the story of one-upmanship between Akshay Kumar and Imran Khan to win over their lady love – Sonakshi Sinha. In the recently released song Yeh tune kya kiya from the action thriller, both Akki and Imran are madly in love with Sinha so much so that they blame her for putting them in a tight spot. The Khiladi says he’s forced to roam like a wanderer whereas Khan feels he has lost everything for the babe. After listening to this Pritam composition, we too were forced to translate the lyrics of this mushy number into English word-for-word. Take a look!

    Ishq ki.. saazishein
    Ishq ki.. baaziyaan
    Haara main khel ke
    Do dilon ka juaa

    Love’s scheme
    Love’s victory
    Lost I game in
    Two hearts’ gamble

    Kyun tune meri fursat ki
    Kyun dil mein itni harqat ki
    Ishaq mein itni barqat ki
    Ye tune kya kiya

    Why you mine leisure did
    Why heart in so much behaviour did
    Love in this much growth did
    This you what did

    Phiru ab maara maara main
    Chaand se bichhda taara main
    Dil se itna kyun haara main
    Ye tune kya kiya

    Roam now hit hit I
    Moon from separate star I
    Heart from so much why fail I
    This you what did

    Who will Sonakshi Sinha fall for – Akshay or Imran?

  • @Romance Express: The name is Romance, but as like your mentor you are spreading hatred. Wait it will be another disaster express.

    Some one commenting, that Ra.One, even after negative response got 25 crores in day 2. But they forget 6 months and 57 crores of publicity torture that was spent to collect that secons day collection.

    Rathore, the name is enough.

    Pehle woh khiladi tha ab woh pura khel hai.

  • mark my words CE will collect around 150 cr in first week n lifetime 200+ depending on WOM

  • This is wht was Expected… ….Now OUATIM2 will Smash all Records….2 Open weeks….OMG…..History is in d making…….Lv yu AK

  • @samar….yes dude….i accept it that ra-one had under performed in india….but when we declare the verdict or profit/loss of a movie, then we don’t take only domestic collections in account…in fact, we used to collect ( total worldwide gross – all the investment in making)…and on the basis of this result, we will define the verdict….and if we think in the same way, then u will have to agree that ra-one was a profitable venture for srk and red chillies……
    about ur next query , i never said that ce will manage to sustain half of its screens in second week…it’s an akshay fan “boss”, who said that ce will hardly retain half of its screens in second week …so i was replying him using the same fact…..but still i m thinking that ouatimd will get max 2700-2800 screens and ce will continue to run on at least 1700-1800 screens…which is great to collect decent numbers in its 2nd and 3rd weeks….remember last time, jthj got 2600 screens , while sos got 2000 screens…so i think that distribution of screens will be done on the same basis….and i want to remind u one thing that don’t misinterpret me as an akshay hater….though i m not a big fan of him, but at the same time, i m not an akshay hater….what i m saying is my own assumptions and there may be a chance of change in it, as i m not a trade analyst…

  • On first day 30 cr +sure..
    ra one did 25 cr on 2 nd day which was not holiday:.
    now CE has 80%buzz n by release time it ll be 100 %
    n even 35 cr looks possible for day 1
    n day 2 still huge

  • seriously i expected ouatimd a crime thriller but trailer disappoints and moreover starcast is not either….

  • Great strategy by Ekta…!
    I always knew that Ekta would have planned out a good strstegy for releasing OUATIMD and she has played her cards very well.
    With no doubt in my mind I confidently predict a 110cr first week for Team Ekta and if we take a norm figure of 50% drop then 50cr min is expected in second week. Lifetime figure should be above 180cr possibly touching 190cr or more. Chennai Depress’ train journey will be a long 3 maybe 4 day affair before ‘all passengers escape’ unharmed. Chennai Depress wont be depressing anybody in theatres after its ‘open week’ so now theres only 1 winner here and thats Ekta and Team Balaji. ;-)

  • @samar I cant believe you think Chennai Depress will be a ‘flop’. :-(
    Shame on you for trying to bring false hope to a herd of people in a delapidated kingdom whom have forgotten long ago what it was like to watch a BB, Superhit, Hit or Average movie…! Srkians expectations need to be kept realistic according to psychiatrists at Asylums and they must never be allowed to rise high or close to hope, opportunistic, miracle or worse- divine intervention…!
    Chennai Depress will be at best a Disaster movie and will forever be known as Chennai Disaster courtesy of Srk…!

  • When ouatimd postponed many akshay fan said that srk requested for postpond to ekta. Now sathygraha postponed. Can they say again akshay requested prakash jha to pospond sathygraha?

  • @Indicine-:How much can CE,OUATIM-2 and Satyagraha collect in their lifetime if they have average contents? Can they still emerge HITS? Please kindly give your prediction.

  • So i hope 120Cr+ is possible and 2 weeks it will be 150Cr and life time could touch 175Cr if had positive reiviews and WOM

    Not only AKKians this genre had seperate fan following as everyone was floored by ouatim starring ajay and emraan now akki playing the role of emraan hashmi as emraan is just emerging star but akki is already a super star and star value of akki and brand value of ouatim will help in bigway Means akkians+ouatim fans will make it large in boxoffice prospectus

    Note:This time its personal if it had some twists in love story then it will surely gives you goosebumps

  • i know that this will happen .this is the agreement made between balaji and utv.at the time of ouatimd postponement.
    now i am sure ouatimd will be the biggest grosser of the year.

  • Hello friends i wnt to say one thing among three 1st trailor SATYAGRAHA look promising after all it is ajay devgn+ mr.jha combination movie and ajay devgn is doing this movie means it is special otherwise he could do mr.jha last two movies aarakshan,chakravyuh
