DRONA is undoubtedly one of the biggest flops Indian Cinema has ever seen. Not taking currency inflation in to account, it is the BIGGEST FLOP of all time. It would compete with RAZIA SULTAN which was earlier touted to be an all time biggest flop of Indian Cinema that released 25 years ago. Drona was made on a reported Rs. 50 Crore budget and approximately another Rs. 20 Crore went into the Prints & Promotion. So, it touches the Rs. 70 Crore figure to become one of the costliest movies ever made on Indian screen. And the latest figures at the Box Office are a gross collection of Rs. 11+ Crore from all over India. The occupancy rates have been hovering around 25-30% all over India.
DRONA as a flop is much bigger than recent mega flops like LOVE STORY 2050 (Gross: Rs. 25+ Crore) and TASHAN (Gross: Rs. 20+ Crore). And some fools have been claiming it as the answer to LORD OF THE RINGS series. This disaster has much more significance as it was released bang in the middle of festival season. In stark contrast, movies with no-frills that released earlier like A WEDNESDAY! and WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR have been going rock steady even this week. We think that the main culprits for the failure of Drona are ABHISHEK BACHCHAN & GOLDIE BEHL. Let us know, if you think contrary.
And now, the grandest fool of all time, GOLDIE BEHL is still adamant at directing a SEQUEL to DRONA. He says that if the battered Producer ROSE MOVIES and distributor EROS INTERNATIONAL are with him… he would make DRONA 2 even bigger (probably an even bigger disaster). So, are you guys n gals ready with rotten tomatoes or not?
