By now, everyone knows that Delhi-6 has proved a
disappointment.

The question is, how has Delhi-6 performed on weekdays?
Did it fall heavily? Monday was part holiday, yet the
film fell at several plexes where it was holding fort.

At most single screens, well, if the opening weekend
numbers ranged between 15 per cent - 25 per cent across
the country, you can easily guess the kind of business it
would do on weekdays. There has been a sharp decline from
Monday.
The verdict is loud and clear: Delhi-6 has under-
performed in India.

What does it mean for UTV? Delhi-6 is an expensive
proposition and in view of the fact that the business is
seeing a downward pattern, the distributors should end up
losing money. Of course, it's a bit too early to gauge
the quantum of loss, but seeing the low tide, it's
evident that the distributors would find it difficult to
recover costs.
Sometimes, it's not the film, but the price that fails.

In this case, the film as also its price has failed.
What does it mean for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra? There's no
denying that Rakeysh is a fantastic technician, who knows
the craft well. But he has been let down by the
screenplay this time. Also, every film-maker needs to
study the viability of the actor before he spends an 'x'
amount on a project. Rakeysh should also take a note of
it.
What does it mean for Abhishek Bachchan? Drona (solo
Abhishek starrer) was an unmitigated disaster, Dostana
was an average success (although there are reports that
the distributors haven't recovered the huge price they
paid for its rights) and now Delhi-6, again a solo hero
film, has under-performed in India. His ratings are sure
to go down after the latest crash.

What was the production cost? I am not up to that type of data for
Bollywood.
Thanks bud
