Director Pooja Bhatt is on cloud eleven after the success of Sunny Leone starrer Jism 2. The director is glad that film has broken records of different blockbusters from the Bhatt stable - Murder 2 and Jannat 2.
'Outstanding business'
A film which was made in 7 crores doing business of 21 crores, that too in Ramzan and with none major stars is exceptional to mention the least.
'Bigger hit than Murder 2 and Jannat 2'
Jism 2 has broken sale records of even Murder 2 and Jannat 2 in Punjab, UP and Delhi in the case of first weekend sales. And Murder 2 and Jannat 2 were two of the most important hits to have pop out of the Bhatt stable! Champagne popping at my end!
'What 100 crore club? We Bhatts have our own club'
With regard to entering the 100 crore club, I DO NOT make movies for 40-60 crores plus that give me a turnover of 100 crores. I make films for 7 crores plus that do a turnover of between 25-50 crores. They may be able to keep their club. We Bhatts rule our own!
BO Report
"Started with a bang on Thursday [previews; Raksha Bandhan holiday] and Friday, but slipped considerably on Saturday itself. Though most films witness a decline in business on Saturday, the autumn accordingly was alarming. The film, however, was better on Sunday, but less than Friday, which, again, comes as a surprise, since most films fare the most productive on Sundays," trade expert Taran Adarsh wrote for Bollywood Hungama.
"Yet, way to the entire accumulated on Thursday + Friday, the full figure looks quite good. Collected approx Rs. 20 cr to Rs. 21 cr nett in its opening weekend, which includes Thursday previews," added Adarsh.
Sunny Leone's Jism 2 rakes in moolah
Sunny Leone's Bollywood debut Jism 2 has succeeded to woo the box office despite a weak script and slow pace. It's Leone magic all of the way, because the film made on the cheap of Rs. 6-7 crore, has collected Rs. 21 crore nett on its opening weekend.
"Started with a bang on Thursday [previews; Raksha Bandhan holiday] and Friday, but slipped considerably on Saturday itself. Though most films witness a decline in business on Saturday, the autumn accordingly was alarming. The film, however, was better on Sunday, but not up to Friday, which, again, comes as a surprise, since most films fare the most productive on Sundays," trade expert Taran Adarsh wrote for Bollywood Hungama.
