Bollywood box office has taken a stern beating in the wake of the recent terror strikes in Mumbai. The two new releases Sorry Bhai and Oye Lucky Lucky Oye opened to catastrophic response at the box office. OLLO opened in Mumbai on Saturday to 20% collections whereas in rest of India on Friday to 15-20% collections. Sorry Bhai was a complete failure with a very pathetic 5-10% collections.

The industry analyst were wondering why the makers of these movies rushed to release their films in times of such a mammoth tragedy that left the sentiments of people affected big time. Sorry Bhai would have struggled in any case but Oye Lucky Lucky Oye may have made an impact under normal conditions.
The attacks may have been in Mumbai but the affects on business are there in all the big centres in India. |
