Aamir Khan’s Midas Touch Turns Delhi Belly Into Gold

‘Delhi Belly’s’commercial success has been important not just for Imran and Aamir but also Bollywood in general as it has opened a window for a new genre of cinema in Bollywood. Of course there is a segment of audience that has loathed the movie but this is the second decade of the new millennium which means there are enough followers of such cinema that have enabled heavy footfalls. For the ones with a conservative mindset, the film has precious little to offer. However the multiplex going junta which has been exposed to movies coming from Hollywood, ‘Delhi Belly’ is progressive cinema by all means as reflected in countless positive reviews that it gained for itself.
As for ‘Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap’, it was clearly swept under the wave of ‘Delhi Belly’. It was expected as well, more so since ‘Transformers’ too had released on the same date. Many followers of Bachchan Sr. had expected that ‘Delhi Belly’ would come crashing down after Friday which would end up benefiting ‘Bbuddah….’ to show rapid progress.
Well, that was not the case to be as ‘Bbuddah…’ stayed miles behind ‘Delhi Belly’ over the entire weekend and though it did show improvement with every passing day, the jump in collections was not major enough to be termed miraculous.
Resultantly ‘Bbuddah’ ended up collecting around 6.5 crores over the weekend once it sustained itself after a so-so 20%-30% opening. The film can take solace from the fact that it has seen mostly decent to very positive reviews as well as word of mouth which means it has in it to try and stay afloat for one more week at the least. So even though a mega earner is certainly ruled out, there are good chances for this out and out Bachchan show to turn into a coverage affair at the least. Mid- level budget should further help it’s cause. However the fact cannot be denied that if only ‘Bbuddah…’ would have arrived alongside lesser competition, it would have done far better than how it has performed now. Source
