This month�s first mega release - Bol Bachchan had a massive box office opening. The movie has put yet another feather in the cap for the successful duo, Ajay Devgn & Rohit Shetty, in addition with a new entrant in this team - Abhishek Bachchan. Bloomberg UTV caught up with Abhishek Bachchan and Rohit Shetty, basking in the glory of the film�s success.
Bol Bachchan, released on July 6, had collected Rs 67 crore in its first week and Rs 83 crore in ten days. Also, looking at its steady run at the box-office, it would not be a surprise if it hits the desirable 100-crore mark.
Unlike early days, in recent times we have seen several movies registering their names in this coveted club. What is making it possible for the movies to get this tag more easily than before? Speaking to the channel, actor Abhishek Bachchan said, �we have managed to crack the exhibition business and are managing to get the product out to more and more people. Total number of screens has gone up, ticket sales are growing. I would not be surprised if every month there�s a Rs 100-crore movie, and just one movie which has collected Rs 200 crore. We can beat that soon.�
Coming back to Bol Bachchan, since the movie is still running in the theatres, it is difficult to analysis whether its a profitable venture for its distributor - Fox Star Studios or not, but the critics weren�t kind to the film. So how does this team take to criticism - not just from the media but from the audience at large? To this director Rohit Shetty said, �if you don�t like the film, it doesn�t mean it is crap. My job is not to make a difference to the society.�
However, on the other hand, actor Abhishek Bachchan said that he is very sensitive to criticism. �I would want to know why you have not liked the film for educational purposes. Rohit has become indifferent; I hope I am like him. Even if one person doesn�t like my work. I am going to ask him why and try to win him over,� he added
