Mumbai attacks: 4 out of 6 films postponed

The terror attacks on Mumbai have affected film business and how! The two new releases, ‘Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!’ and ‘Sorry Bhai’, have taken a severe beating at the box-office. While ‘Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!’ had a 15% - 20% occupancy over the weekend, ‘Sorry Bhai!’ cut a sorry picture almost everywhere. In fact, the management of theatres/plexes were forced to cancel shows due to lack of audiences.

The coming Friday [December 5] was to witness a plethora of medium-budget/low cost films, like ‘Maharathi’, ‘Dil Kabaddi’, ‘Khallballi - Fun Unlimited’, ‘Oh, My God!!’, ‘Meerabai Not Out’ and ‘Kaashh... Mere Hote’. However, the producers of ‘Khallballi - Fun Unlimited’ and ‘Kaashh... Mere Hote’ have decided to shift the film to a latter date.

"The timing isn't right," Riaz Haider, the Project Head of One More Thought [Khallballi - Fun Unlimited] says. The new date will be decided in a day or two. On the other hand, ‘Kaashh... Mere Hote’ has been shifted to December 19. "Two reasons why we postponed our film," music director turned producer Shravan Rathod tells me, "With so many films arriving on December 5, we felt it would kill the prospects of our film. Two, it'll take time for people to come out of the depressing phase [the terror attacks in Mumbai]. Hence, we decided to shift ‘Kaashh... Mere Hote’ to December 19."

It would be interesting to see how ‘Maharathi’, ‘Dil Kabaddi’, ‘Oh, My God!!’ and ‘Meerbai Not Out’ perform this Friday. . Bollywood hungama

Bollywood fighting terror by Ordinary Indian on 02 Dec 2008

The bollywood heroes were seen fighting terrorists single-handedly in many movies. Actors like Hritik Roshan, Sunny Deol, MunnaiBhai, etc. could even escape bullets and bombs. Where were they when Mumbai was in need. Don't they live in Mumbai? They should at least donate the money they made from the public by fightnig terror on screne.
