“Chandni Chowk...” is the first big-budget project of 2009 that will follow the two big releases of last month and there are high expectations from the film, say experts.
“Chandni Chowk... will get a very good initial and will give 2009 a warm welcome as the first big-budget movie of the year. The advance bookings have been terrific and expectations are very high from the film. Also, the promotions of the movie have been very good,” Joginder Mahajan, a Delhi-based distributor, told IANS.
“The movie has an upper hand with no major releases until Delhi-6 hits the screens on February 6. The audiences are eagerly awaiting Chandni Chowk... after the back to back success of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Ghajini,” he added.
While, Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini grossed more than Rs 900 million worldwide only in the first five days of its release, Yash Raj Films' Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi raked in around Rs 300 million in the first two weeks.
Mahajan predicts that Chandni Chowk... will exceed the business of both the movies also breaking the collection record of Akshay's last two-releases - Welcome and Singh Is Kinng.
However, Anupama Chopra, film critic and consulting editor (films), NDTV says it is too early to talk about the trade details of the film despite the content.
“I am sure the film is going to be rollicking good and fiercely entertaining. However, the business of the film can't be commented upon as of now, though expectations are very high from the film,” said Chopra.
