LOL Jay! I wonder if Tango will accept these numbers (producer numbers!)! This is very much in your range and just yesterday I said in your box office thread that my total wouldn’t be more than 41-42 crores for this!
At BOI the week 1 number is 30 crores. So unless they have the film at 11 crores in week 1 they can’t get to this ‘producer total’! And it can’t possibly be at 11 crores in week 2!

Jay you should really take a bow by the way. All the ‘questions’ about your methods, all the attacks and so on, and here your calculations have been perfect!

Jay stands vindicated.
By the power vested in me by God-know-who,I now delcare you the undisputed BO Expert of NG.
I hope these numbers will be accpeted by all who ’swear’ by producers numbers.

Lol ! Well its an interesting set of data. For one EROS declared 40Cr GROSS in the first weekend which is a joke !
But this number seems more ‘comforting’ to say the least ! And BOI it seems maybe about 8Cr above this, remarkable !
Tango 5 August 2007

Lalita – Tango will definately accept this number provided you accept that Guru first week was 18 crores, as in both cases, as Tango is not a blatant liar or a hypocrite like you !
Go ahead and say that we accept Guru 18 crore in week 1 because it comes from the makers and Tango will go for OVER 41 cores in two weeks for Partner.
Abhi lagao NG par , lekin tumhare andar itna dum nahi hai kyonki Ganesh will …..
And after this you joy will be shortlived as you will talk about everything except what we are discussing !
Achilles 5 August 2007

cool … someone ignores guru producers 18 crore opening … but then clings on to 41 crores partner net from the same source!
what a joke!
Achilles 5 August 2007

A great NG intellectual claims that the Partner success is becoz of audience watching partner in multiplexes becoz they feel partner will entertain then like it does others … but it doesnt
this great personality keeps calling an entire nation a moron becoz he has taken JBJ failure to his hurt … but cant digest abhi bashing n makes indirect personal insults to other members

Achilles I have always told my friend Jayshah ( and he will confirm) that I will accept makers clame whenever they come and the rest of the procedures become redundant.
But I guess the only solution left for laita to squeeze out is bring in Veer-Zaara , but then Lalita will have to accept Yash Raj’s GROSS total of Bunty Aur Bably
And don’t worry about them Achilles , you are seeing them now I have been chasing them away ( with facts from across the net).

Here’s the difference. I have never said producer totals are the ultimate. I am therefore not obliged to stand by a single one. But Tango does (at least since Guru) and has to now stand by Partner! I don’t care very much for the authenticity of BOC number as provided by Eros. Or the yashraj 27 crore total on VZ or anything else. But if you live by the sword you have to die by it! Much as if Nahata is God then CC and KANK and KHNH and Don are not hits!

Achilles, Satyam, Tango and JS – You guys have two options now!
Go by producers numbers for all films whenever the producers make them available….
or just keep fighting….. bring Dhoom 2, Bhagam bhag, Fanaa, Don, JBJ, LRMB and every film possible and make a khichdi out of it. Then start the same thing all over again when another big film releases.
Second option is more fun!

“I am therefore not obliged to stand by a single one. But Tango does (at least since Guru) and has to now stand by Partner! ”
This is satyam at his best. he makes rules. He doesnt follow… others have to follow it.

Komal Nahata has don as hit while Kank as semihit .

Texas_Swat: for once show some ethics and be a little truthful here. I did not make the ‘producer total’ rule. Tango rather opportunistically decided it was his rule with Guru, this was the only way he could reduce the total. before this he used to make fun of these when the RDB and Krrish producers put up their totals. So now he should follows the producer total on Nahata.
I never made such a rule!
satyam 5 August 2007
01:47:25 pm
jeesg253: Nope, Nahata doesn’t have Don as a hit and Tango inadvertently admitted as much himself recently.
satyam 5 August 2007
01:52:28 pm
Also I have never followed the ‘producer rule’ either way. But the hypocrisy here is not following it for VZ but following it for Guru and so on.
Again Tango’s usual sleight of hand in these matters is to bring in producer totals on Guru or what have you. But I have never accepted these in the first place! So that doesn’t get Tango out of the hot seat!
But Tango has grossly misrepresented things at many points and opportunistically used info at other times as well. So why weren’t Nahata’s ratings given for KANK and Don? Opportunistically he also used Taran’s updated numbers on AKS when he always abuses the guy just because the new numbers seemed to confirm the BOI total! He even went against Nahata who had lower numbers. How? By inventing a fiction that all the numbers are updated. They were never updated and Qalander has since confirmed this. And of course since then Taran has actually reverted to his original numbers!
There is fabrication, misrepresentation and opportunism at every point. But then, that’s how you get to call yourself an ‘expert’.

I cannot believe for a second here Satyam is being interrogated. He and myself have blatantly made it clear we don’t give a toss for Producer totals, we ONLY use centre by centre numbers. Now these may ‘come’ from distributers or producers or what not but we use this to get totals. Its a consistent approach.
Please explain HOW IT IS INCONSISTENT ? OR HYPOCRYTICAL ? I do not understand this at all !
Its pure bunk in fact. When Guru numbers were updated we used the updated numbers, same with AKS. We are non the wiser to ‘believe’ the numbers are from producers or what not !
To be frank it doesn’t matter what Tango or BOI does with this Partner number, BUT it would from where I stand reveal blatant opportunism or bias towards one film that is not given to another.
In a sense, by default Tango as a BO expert, to be blunt, is forced to take this Partner total because it would be inconsistent not to. Unless he is willing to revise the Guru Week 1 total using Film Information numbers and get to the 20-21Cr he also would have estimated and revert back to using his calculation for all the other movies like RDB etc. BUT I am not in a position to ask or tell Tango what to do, he can figure it out for himself.
And thats my honest and blunt opinion on this – like it or not !!!
ps Texas, Achilles – please explain the rules Satyam has set. Every BO piece he has written he has used Trade Guide numbers, never mixed other sources etc. He is to put it blunt, questioning Tango’s policy – anyone can see this, why can’t you ??? If you don’t care then fair enough – but its obvious you either AGREE or DISAGREE with producer VS calculation. Which do you agree with ? If 18Cr is used for Guru Week 1, then surely this should be used for Partner ? Heck I will stick with my 41-45Cr no matter what !!! I am not in the producers game, only questioning those who are (sometimes)

Texas_Swat, these guys are making this news item that appears on a new portal Businessofcinema , by a certain Rohini Bhandari as the ultimate truth, as during the last 5-years, under the pick-and-choose what suits policy.
But are not ready to accept the renowed expert (love him or hate him because numbers are used here) when he quotes the Guru producers and says that it is 18 crores NETT in the first week.
They have ( over the last 5-yeras) always made fun of all EROS claims but as it suits now they quote.
Tango 5 August 2007
07:37:22 pm
Jayshah – It is just a news item and nothing more. It is not from any renowed source.
There are news pieces in Businesstandard that talk of Guru at 42 crore, are you willing to accept it.
Who is Rohini Bhandari ??? A Taran/Komal/Indu or who ?
I think our Joginder is much more well known than her, so if he says 100 crores for Partner will take it as a piece of evidence?
jayshah 6 August 2007

Tango – again I don’t have to accept any producer total that is given to me since I don’t give a toss for it ! I have said this a number of times. It is YOURSELF that uses producer totals. Here is another producer total – to the last rupee !
Maybe you can do a little research with EROS or some network to confirm the number ?
