Film
Ek Aur Ek Gyarah
Starring
Govinda, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Amrita Arora, Nandita Singh

Released
March 28th, 2003
Summary
Seems like Mr. Ghai´s bad luck continues. It started with Rahul &Yaadein (in India) though Yaadein was a good hit abroad. Mr. Ghai also went on record and said "I don´t make movies for audience in Patna" a comment he later denied. Another thing is that, outside directors have always lost it for Mr. Ghai. The latest venture directed by David Dhawan, seems to be an extension of Jodi No. 1 but the opening nowhere near to it. According to trade expert Indu Mirani, "The opening is around 50% and will not repeat the magic of Jodi No 1".

Final Verdict
The first day and the first two shows were quite good, but after that the downslide started. It is difficult for the movie to sustain as the budget is on the higher side and the outcome will effect Mr. Ghai and Mukta arts directly as they have distributed the movie themselves.





Film
Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne
Starring
Zayed Khan, Esha Deol
Released
March 21st, 2003
Summary
As we had said the movie has been good in parts of UP, Bihar (later confirmed by Mr. Taran Adarsh on his portal) and South, particularly Bangalore where it collected 8.5 lakhs during the week, but that is about the only happy news that we have about CLHT. Most of the metro´s including Mumbai and Delhi have been ordinary to poor. First week collection percentages range from 52% (Mumbai), 38-40% (Delhi), 45% (Kolkata), 72% (Agra), 65% (Lucknow), 55% (Kanpur) and 67% (Patna).


Final Verdict
The movie, being distributed by Rajshri films on commission basis will be a loss for PFH entertainment at an all India basis. In Delhi-UP and parts of southern territory the movie is faring better.

Quite a few contradictions.
1) Doing better in Delhi UP.
Got only 38% in Delhi.
1.25 Lakh per print??, most films have been collecting Rs 60,000 or less per print.

Also Ek Aur Ek Gyarah recovered close to 3 Lakh per print and Flop??

My guess:
CLHT will recover its cost plus some profits.

EEG is a small budget film as well. If it is not, it should have been. Throwing money away doesn't make it a Big Budget Film.
In my opinion, received collections for EEG should be enough to make it profitable for reasonable production costs.

I don't understand is, why is that a movie is decalred flopped after running 3 days? For me floped means that the movie didn't make any profits while it ran.. that could be 8 weeks. Why not just release the box office reports on how much each movie made and whats on top than declaring a movie FLOP.. Any thoughts?
