Chandni Chowk To China
Producers: Ramesh Sippy, Rohan Sippy and Mukesh Mukesh Talreja | Director: Nikhil Advani | Cast: Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Mithun Chakraborty
Budget: approx Rs 75 crore
Loss: approx Rs 30 crore
Why it failed: The film was touted to be the first big hit of the year. Enough and more publicity had ensured that Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone were all over the place just before the release.
Yet somehow the positive buzz that is usually associated with a big release was missing. If reports are to be believed, the film managed to collect just Rs 1.5 crore through the paid preview shows across the nation.
BOX OFFICE REPORT: CC2C is a disaster!
Even though the movie did open to a decent 65 to 70 per cent on Friday, the weekend collections fell considerably – again an unusual trend for a big film.
CC2C was made to be some sort of a contemporary film about kung fu. Whereas it turned out to be a yawn-inducing Manmohan Desai-ish flick about twins being separated at birth.
The tacky storyline and bizarre circumstances it created made it an absolute torture to watch.
As an insider pointed out, Chandni Chowk... could have done well if it had released say ten years ago.
