New Delhi, Sep 1 - As many as six movies - 'Daddy Cool', 'Quick Gun Murugun', 'Toss', 'Yeh Mera India', 'Kisaan' and 'Love Khichdi' - that released Friday have fallen flat at the box office, failing to pull in the crowds. On the other hand, 'Kaminey' and 'Life Partner' are still keeping the ticket windows buzzing.
The movies released during the first weekend of Ramadan, generally considered to be a month of gap-fillers or average movies with no business expectations, and have not found too many takers.
But Vishal Bharadwaj's dark thriller 'Kaminey', which stars Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor in a double role, and marriage comedy 'Life Partner', which released Aug 14 are 'still going strong' fetching in close to '60 percent' business.
'All the six movies have been disasters... none have fetched any appreciation from the audience. Its just 'Daddy Cool' that has managed something out of the lot and that too not more than 20 percent,' Amit Awasthi, manager (programming and operations) of Spice Cinemas, Noida, told IANS.
In fact, 'Kaminey' and 'Life Partner', which stars Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor, Prachi Desai, Fardeen Khan, and Genelia D'Souza, are still bringing in business close to 60 percent, he added.
Yogesh Raizada, corporate head (cinemas) of Wave Cinemas agreed with Awasthi.
'The movies have not done more than 10-30 percent business.
