The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
charlie Jatinder replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
So when was MTC 3 started on board or are we skipping the 3? -
Just because FF grossed more internationally doesn't mean it has cultural significance. SW has some cultural significance and a fan base everywhere, a niche in Asian countries though. F&F are just a disposable junk with little to no cultural bearing. Also, SW7 outgrossed F7 by $500mn. SW8 outgrossed F8 by $100mn. Rogue One outgrossed H&S by $300mn. Quite certain that will continue.

Wrote a piece on that Welcome To New York, Pari and Dil Junglee are name of three films released in last three weeks. What’s common in these three, other than the that these were box office flops is that Pooja Entertainment Private Limited aka Pooja Films either produced or released them. So what’s big deal in that which called for a separate article, you must be thinking that. There is something special, to find read on. Pooja Films is production and distribution company established by Vashu Bhagnani in 1995. Since then they have produced over 25 films and distributed couple of more. Company had a great start in late 90s, with five of the six films produced by the company till 2001 turning out Super Hits, including Coolie No.1, Hero No.1, Biwi No.1, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai. Right there, seventeen years back, debut film of Tusshar Kapoor Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai was released, which emerged Super Hit, and last hit for the company. Ever since company has produced 22 films and all of them failed to emerge Hit. Yes, 22 in last seventeen years and none of them was Hit, the one that come close being a successful film was F.A.L.T.U. in 2011, nothing other than that. It is difficult to find some studio with 100% success ratio with more than 20 films, but it’s perhaps impossible to find someone (of course except Pooja Films) with ‘ZERO’ Hit film from 20 plus odd films, because usually the person/company will stop making films before that. Following are the Bollywood films produced by Pooja Entertainment Private Limited in last seventeen years (in reverse chronological order) Dil Juunglee (2018) Welcome To New York (2018) Mona Darling (2017) Sarbjit (2016) Welcome 2 Karachi (2015) Humshakals (2014) Youngistaan (2014) Himmatwala (2013) Rangrezz (2013) Ajab Gazabb Love (2012) F.A.L.T.U. (2011) Do Knot Disturb (2009) Kal Kissne Dekha Hai (2009) Sorry Bhai (2008) Shaadi No.1 (2005) Silsilay (2005) Vaada (2005) Out Of Control (2003) Jeena Sirf Mere Liye (2002) Om Jai Jagdish (2002) Deewanapan (2001) Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein (2001)
