Box Office: Not so Sunny times for `Jism 2` anymore

Box Office: Not so Sunny times for `Jism 2` anymore
Sunny Leone's much-hyped Bollywood debut film loses steam on the box office

Finally the decision on Pooja Bhatt's much-hyped Jism 2 is out. The film, which marked the debut of Sunny Leone, first ever-porn star in Bollywood has managed to usher in collections at the weekend however the film has got mixed reports. While the audiences haven't favoured the film, the large numbers despite being a Ramzan release has made the producers happy.

The Bhatt camp is alleged to be celebrating, as at some places the collections are bigger than their biggest hits Murder 2 and Jannat 2. At the other hand, Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum has managed to carry its fort against Jism 2 and sustained in its second week end itself.

The collections of Jism 2 are around Rs 21 crore in its first weekend including the paid previews on Thursday night and Kya Super Kool Hai Hum has raked in Rs 5 crore at the second weekend, making its total in 10 days to be around Rs 40 crore.

Trade analyst Amod Mehra says, `Kya Super Kool Hai Hum isn't bad in any respect in its second weekend. What seemed like a loosing proposition initially will turn into a secure proposition for its investors.

However, Jism 2 opened reasonably well but saw a 40 per cent drop at the second day. The film neither has any sex nor any story. While Pooja Bhatt and Ponty Chadha who bought the all-India rights of the film will make money, the one distributors will find it difficult to sail through.`

Atul Mohan, trade analyst says, `Jism 2 needed a minimum of two-three love making scenes and because they aren't there, the audience are disappointed. This can be a classic case of promising the audience Biryani and delivering plain rice. At the other hand, KSKHH is a winner the entire way.`

Girish Wankhede, spokesperson of a multiplex chain says, `Jism 2 opened average in Mumbai but in our small town properties like Thane and Nashik, it was huge. Similarly Hollywood film Total Recall opened at 25 per cent and dropped further but Step Up has shown steady rise in collections.`
