Amongst all the people concerned with the two films, success is most necessary for Vidhu Vinod Chopra. He really needs a hit. Again, he has sold the movie at such a high price -- Rs 3 crore per territory. They are selling it at such a high price only because of Hrithik.
Originally, it was just a Sanjay Dutt film. The film will cost each distributor more than Rs 4 crore. This means that it has to do a business of at least
Rs 6 crore to make a profit.
It is difficult to say if it will be a hit or no. But it looks like Mission Kashmir has all the necessary ingredients.
In the first week of Diwali, the films will do phenomenally well. Nine hundred prints of Mission Kashmir and Mohabbatein are being made. That is really a huge number.
The last six to seven months have been pretty bad for the industry. All the films realeased in this period have done below or much below expectations. No film has done well. We are really praying that these two films change the tide.
