..'Kaminey', 'Life Partner' and to some extent even 'Love Aaj Kal' are generating the main revenue. Movies like 'Quick Gun', etc have faltered badly,' said Raizada.
Industry insiders said that despite the unprecedented buzz that 'Quick Gun Murugun' garnered courtesy media promotions and praises from Aamir Khan, Ashutosh Gowariker and Vishal Bhardwaj, it has not managed more than Rs.20 Lakh (Rs.2 million) across the country counting in all the four languages - Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu - it released in.
''Quick Gun...' was a real disappointment. There was a lot or pre-release buzz for the movie but the post-story has been completely different,' said a source from PVR cinemas.
'All are average and below average movies and have opened to the same expectations. All have had low occupancy and nothing has really clicked with the audiences. 'Kaminey' and 'Life Partner' are making up for it as they are still going strong,' the source added.
'Daddy Cool' and 'Quick Gun...' were released at all PVR properties while the rest of the six opened only at selected cinema halls.
Added a source from Inox cinemas, Mumbai: 'All the six movies have fared badly... it's only 'Kaminey' and 'Life Partner' that are keeping it going and that too considering that they missed the opening weekend in Mumbai and Pune due to the swine flu scare.'
