BIG have bought the SINGH IS KINNG home video rights for India from Studio 18.

Pathetically stupid idiotic film .. I am still trying to figure out why it did so well

Well This My Friend Is India, Yaahan Aisa Hi Hota Hai

I have been doing the same for ages now! no answer yet! I have not seen any light

I dont have any faith in Indian Box office. Look at the majority who are going to cinema halls there

a good example when in 1991 both Lamhe and Phool Aur Kaante released the same day. Lamhe flopped in India and Phool Aur Kaante became a hit!!!!
What can I say more?? Now today Lamhe is an all time classic while hardly anyone remember PAK
The good news that Lamhe was extremely successful in the overseas market. That shows the mentality.

So nonthing is strange

This is India

Phool Aur Kaante Was Awesome..Lamhe Sucked So Did The Idiot Sri Devi

Lets see for how long SINGHs can FLY??? All dogs have their days, it is Singhs time!

Hmmm is it the same mentality that drives movies like 'Om Shanti Om' & 'Singh Is King' to do record business overseas, while successfull movies in India like 'Johnny Gaddar', 'Black Friday', 'Omkaara', 'Jaane Na Ya Jaane Tu', 'Rock On' & 'A, Wednesday' do miserably overseas. The actual facts are that the majority of the overseas Indians are far more regressed and stuck in some time zone, than their counterparts in India. It would only be fair to compare the overseas Indians with the multiplex viewer in Inda, after all you must keep in mind the educational and economic backgrounds to make a fair comparison.

As for 'Phool Aur Kaante' & 'Lamhe', the former is truelly a crap movie but then again personally I think 'Lamhe' is one of the most over rated movies of the so called all time classic category. I personally had a tough time sitting through most of Lamhe, what with all the inane, loud and times almost crass comedy of Anupam Kher and the numerous and boring song sequences in the film.

These are the mentalities I meant
I knew such people are everywhere. I mean Z grade film fans

I dont think Lamhe is overrated bec the movie did not get its due in India at time of release. But yeaa it got its due as an all time classic. It difintely goes in categories of movies didnt go well at the box office bec of ZERO mentalities, Like Kaagaz Ke Phool. An overrated movie will be like Hum Aapke hain kaun which was full of songs and no story. I remeber how I was extremely bored in the cinema hall watching HAHK and after came out I was This movie is Blockbuster????

i have lost count of the number of repeat viewings of lamhe -- on the time vhs -- the yrf dvd sucks.

Teri M........Lamhe Sucked Big Time Coz Of A Slut Called Sri Devi....

yaar Hero! Where is your antagonism against HM or SD????

I think, you have said it already enough times to make your point, and it has been noted! I am not going to pick either of them for the next president..end of story lets move on!

Sanjay, I do agree with you to a certain extent - going to the cinema on a Friday or Saturday night, you do see whole families who have come out to watch the latest 'family' film. For some reason, people here (in Birmingham, at least) seem to want to lap up only the films that are typical Bollywood - which generally translates as films with big stars dancing to a Bhangra track in a big hall wearing expensive clothes

However, as for films like Johnny Gaddaar, Black Friday and A Wednesday, the question of them doing badly does not arise - they weren't even given a release in the UK cinemas.

As for Singh is Kinnnnnnnnnnnnnng, I haven't seen the film yet, and don't have any plans to. I've always thought Akshay Kumar is pretty talentless, and I've promised myself I won't make an effort to watch any of his films after I wasted money and 3 hours of my life watching the superhit crap that was Heyyyyyyyyyy Babyyyyyyyyyyyy.

That is exactly my point. Such movies generally do such low business that overseas distributors don't even bother releasing them anymore.
