Movie releases 24 May 2013 - Box Office Prediction

Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke  

This simply looks like a joke of a film in the disguise of a comedy film. Marketing of the movie has been basically themed around a new upcoming star having fun with three veterans playing supporting cast, also having fun. All scenes shown are completely unrelated to each other, and there is no clue what the story is about, not that I was really trying to figure out. Though there have been movies successful that way, but they have been few and far in between. I don't think the music is popular, don't hear anyone requesting them on radio.
Prediction: less than 3 crore weekend and less than 5 crore lifetime collection (Generous as I doing this first time here)

Zindagi 50-50

I am guess I might be the only one talking about it as of now apart from the makers. Veena Malik in an intimate scene has been center figure of all the promos of this movie. I can understand that there is a market for such movie thanks to Mahesh Bhatt, but you need a good music to pull that one too.
Prediction: Less than a crore weekend, and max 2 crore lifetime

Ishkq In Paris

To be fair, this is one movie releasing this weekend that has good music and impressive star cast, even though only one of the lead pair is known. Marketing of the movie is basically centered around good music and cool locations of Paris, making it obvious that this movie is targeted to youth. It also means that cost of  production can't be less than 10-15 crores, so it needs to make at least 25 so that distributors can make profit.  I am afraid I don't see this movie making that much.
Prediction: Weekend : 5-7 crores, 1st Week: 10-11 crores, 15 Lifetime (again a generous figure)

Fast and Furious

One of the most awaited movie this year, after Iron Man 3, this franchise has some fan following in India. Promo is very good and I like the last scene where a car break out of the airplane. Background score looks good and Dwayne The Rock Johnson is back in action with Vin Diesel. I think this movie should have a good weekend
India Prediction:  Weekend: 10-12 crores, 1st Week: 20 crores, Lifetime: 30-35 crore

Bad movie.. Sheer overacting and too much fiction.. Don't know how Sanjay Dutt agreed to do a cameo role in it..
