Force Sidelines Mausam At BO!

With extensive promotional campaigns backing it up, for Pankaj Kapoor's directorial debut Mausam to have grossed a force and rockstar total of over Rs. 250 million in the fortnight since its release sounds reasonable and expected enough.

What came as a surprise was the John Abraham starrer Force grossing a grand lumpsum of over Rs. 96 million within the span of its opening weekend itself. Being neither a romantic genre, nor half as promoted as the former, for Force to have shown such a tremendous inaugural weekend turnover has caused the Shahid-Sonam starrer a declining setback. Such that, Mausam showed a comparitively nominal earning of Rs. 65million plus, during its second week of showing.

An interesting Box Office evidence, as noted by critiques and the market alike - even as avowed fans of Shahid Kapur and Sonam Kapoor would like to debate otherwise.

Meanwhile, Mere Brother Ki Dulhann, in its month's duration since release is closer to touching a Rs. 400 million mark - thus making way for a graceful exit from the screens.

With the year having witnessed more blockbusters than showdowns in terms of general anticipated ventures, will this finale trimester of 2011 - promising the likes of Rockstar and Ra.One - live up to the progressive trend?!
