Will singh be the King???

SINGH IS KINNG is all set to get box office jingling. Though it won’t be fair to comment that the buzz here is unparalleled (all biggies like OM SHANTI OM or RACE or WELCO

Singh is King

ME or DHOOM 2 had equal and in some cases even better hype), the rush at the advance counters has proved that SINGH IS KINNG is well on it’s way to take a bumper first week initial. At select single screens and multiplexes where the plans are already open, one can already witness sell out signs for number of shows in the first weekend.Currently OM SHANTI OM is the only film which has managed to break the 40 crores barrier when it comes to collections from Indian box office. RACE, WELCOME and DHOOM 2 follow suit with close to 35 crores each in the first week.  While SINGH IS KINNG appears all set to cross the 35 crores mark, it has to be seen if the built up in hype and buzz is to the kind of extent which would threaten collections of even OM SHANTI OM.As for GOOD LUCK, the other release of the week, the film would not have met with a great response even if it would have arrived solo. GOOD LUCK is not even expected to get a good chain of theaters and show timings due to exhibitors keeping their eyes locked on SINGH IS KINNG. Now if this can’t be termed as a suicide, how else would one explain the arrival of GOOD LUCK at theaters this Friday. Now all the film needs for itself is, what else, but some ‘good luck’!
