Mausam box office collection on 1st day was Rs 90 million. This is a decent opening by any yardstick
Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor starrer Mausam is getting great response from the film buffs who thronged the theaters in Mumbai, Delhi and other metros. The film is attracting good crowds at multiplexes in metros, but in smaller town in single screen theaters the response is rather muted.
The film that is based on love story of a Kashmiri Muslim girl (Sonam Kapoor) and Punjabi boy (Shahid Kapoor) seems a very tragic one. In the background of Sangh orchestrated riots following Babri Masjid demolition, Pakistan inspired Kargil war and in between Mumbai riots, the film passes through some of the most troublesome times in India’s recent history.
Meanwhile reports suggest that the film has got thumbs up from viewers despite some critics attempt to call it trash. The film has earned Rs 90 million on the first day of its release at the box office in India. This is a decent opening.
Though it may not be comparable to Bodyguard’s success nonetheless it is a decent opening and collections are expected to go up in the coming days.
A reader sums up the film’s appeal in the following words, “A fabulous movie! Both Shahid and Sonam make awesome pair. Obviously not a film for the ‘Bodyguard’ kind of audience! Sophisticated crowd loved this clean romantic film. I give it a 10/10”.
Another reader says this, “Do you believe innocence love? If the answer is “yes” then watch it to appreciate it and if the answer is “no” then watch it, you’ll believe. It is a forgotten love story which can occur only in Indian sub-continent. But it is boring to some extent”.
