Zor se Bol

After a lax week with just two unexciting releases, the next week is a complete U-turn with as many as SEVEN releases. This is a record number and something like this hasn’t happened for years. More importantly these films are releasing when Ramzan and Ganesh festival are on, which is not considered a good period for film business.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh says, “Even during Diwali that’s supposed to be the best season for film release we have not more that 3-4 films. So to see 7 releases in Ramzan is professional hara-kiri”

The releases of the week include

The common movie audience has no time, money and inclination to watch more than two films at the most, forget 7 films in a week. So why the sudden rush? “Do the producers have any choice? Not really”, says Taran. “Because of the two month strike between producers and exhibitors in the month of April and May, there has been a big backlog of films to release. The biggies like Wanted and Dil Bole Hadippa are lined up from September 18. So for small films releasing this week, competing with other small films is a better option than competing with the big films where they will certainly loose.”
