After the disastrous Kismet Love Paisa Dilli, aka KLPD, Vivek Oberoi has had the rom-com Jayantabhai Ki Luv story to bring him back in the reckoning. And the initial reports of the film are largely encouraging with Vivek performance as a gangster ridiculous going in for special praise.
However, the film is facing an unexpected crisis. The shortage of movie theaters!
The two versions of Neeraj Pandey Friday Special 26 and Remo D'Souza ABCD both have become much stronger box office bets than expected, thus precipitating an unexpected obstacle at the turnstiles.
Cinema exhibitors across the country, providing for a deficit in the tread, both movies this week have decided to continue with releases last week instead of replacing them with new releases of this week.
Arvind Sharma, a leading distributor-exhibitor of Bihar, says, "It's really unexpected. Never expect both films to do well this week. I can not remember when was the last time this happened. Now that both 26 Special and ABCD are doing well, we can not get them out. "
While exhibitors have brought murder of Mukesh Bhatt's son Vishesh 3 ready for the double whammy last week that refuse to make adjustments for another version of this week Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story.
Sharma says, "The Murder franchise has some of the lyrics. But Vivek Oberoi's films have not fared well. Exhibitors convincing to replace the hit last week starring Vivek Oberoi would be difficult."
Kumar Taurani of Tips is very direct in the crisis facing his film shows.
Taurani says, "Yes, we have a problem getting shows ... but I think it could be an advantage as Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story is a medium-sized rom-com and you are interested go for selected performances.'m Hoping we will housefuls at shows we have. "
