My predictions for Gangs of Wasseypur … and the results


Yes, the Hindi film is growing up. Films without big star heroes like Kahani and Vicky Donor are becoming superhits. Films like Shanghai and Ferrari Ka Safari are making more than films like Players and Tezz… big actioners with star directors and actors.
and here is my prediction” Gangs of Wasseypur will make more than Trri Meri Khnai. Nota bigger hit. I am talking of absolute numbers. Can you imagine that? A film with Manoj Bajpayee and no other star actor or actress is going to outgross a Shahid-Priynka starrer!

Yes it’s a great time to be in Hindi films.

This is what Sanket Porwal had said : ” Teri Meri Kahaani is an escapist cinema and will definitely end up doing better than GOW as far as numbers are concerned. But trending will clearly go in GOW’s favor.”

This is what Danish had said: ” the so called discerning viewer will have to learn to differentiate between a kahaani and a shanghai. a paan singhj tomar and a gangs of wasseypur (just guessing its bad, after all its from the director of no smoking and gulaal. ”

And the results?

At the end of 4 weeks, GOW: 27.27 cr, TMK: 27.49 cr. But GOW earning in 4th week: 62 lkhs, TMK: 4 lakhs. you can be sure , by next week GOW will cross TMK.

    @utkal – i clearly said “just guessing its bad. after all its from the director of no smoking and gulaal”.

    and i am not into the business of predictions. u know that very well.

    still till week 4 its a lil behind teri meri kahaani. it may cross it. but just about.

    and there is nothing new abt the phenomenon.

    successful parellel films have many times crossed flop commercial films. didnt bandit queen make more than ajay (sunny deol post ghatak and jeet) sapoot (aksjshay sunil post mohra etc) jaan (ajay devgan) army (sridevi and sharukh in spl appearnce) and many more?

    u cant put down shahid on the basis of this post, if that is the intention. rejoice the day a manoj bapayi film crosses inflation adjusted vivaah.

    One of best movies of 2012 along with Kahaani and VD. Eagerly awaiting for GOW-2 on 8th August .. first day any show for me. Watched GOW-1 twice in cinema.

    danish: ” it may cross it. but just about.”

    But no one believed that a film like GOW can even ‘ just about’ cross a Shahid-Priyanka-Kunal Kohli film, however bad about it maybe.

    At least I did not see anybody dittoing my post.

    And when did I say that GoW will cross TMK by miles?

    And for the record there was no attempt to put down actors like Shahid, only films like TMK.

    @utkal – if u dont wanna pull down shahid then its fine with me. as it is i am hardly interested in an anurag kashayp vs kunal kohli.

    post/war star driven hona chahiye.

    but my point abt successfull parellel films crossing failed commercial films still holds.

    @Utkal – have to give it to you this time. I laughed at your predictions for GOW and must say I’m surprised the former has crossed TMK. Anyway the sequel has one full week before its baap aka EK THA TIGER arrives and washes it away.

    @sneha – but bandit queen did not cross jeet, it crossed army. why wud i mention salman in jeet?

    it was abt bandit queen CROSSING big star films, not trailing.

    kyaa aap bhi delight 44 jais baatein karte ho.
