Midweek Box-office Report
By Taran Adarsh
'KAANTE' – THE WAIT IS OVER
With KAANTE getting a terrific advance, the distributors and exhibitors have heaved a sigh of relief. Until a few days ago, the telephones in Pritish Nandy's office were ringing incessantly, with everyone wanting to verify the release status of the film.
“It was tough trying to handle the speculation,” Nandy says, “But all's well that ends well. The film has opened to a stupendous response everywhere. What more can one ask for? Going by the reports, the film is sure to fetch fabulous shares by the end of the first week.”
The mood in the industry is definitely jubilant with the advance booking figures of KAANTE. Nester D'Souza of Metro – the main theatre of the film – is amongst the exhibitors who're smiling after a very long time. “It's after a long time that a film has opened to a terrific response. Let's hope KAANTE helps us recover what we've lost during the past few months,” he smiles.
