Kalia_Test Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Narendra Modi @narendramodi 17h17 hours ago Met 'Baahubali' Prabhas today. The elderly gentleman ( 2nd from left ) is Prabhas's uncle ( father's brother ) Krishnam Raju and a former Telugu hero who himself played a very famous devotee of Shiva role ( Bhakta Kannappa) . He was former MP of BJP. He was the one that moved a motion in the Lok Sabha for the introduction of The Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Bill, 2000. Modiji was requested to watch the movie. Hope he does and tweets about it :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temujin Khaghan Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think Baahubali and BB might end very close in India nett but obviously BB will have higher WW nett because of entire India, Pakistan diaspora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalia_Test Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think Baahubali and BB might end very close in India nett but obviously BB will have higher WW nett because of entire India, Pakistan diaspora Bajrangi bhaijaan will definitely beat Bahubali India nett. Entertainment tax varies between 30% to 60% in states. Highest is UP ( 60%). Given the huge population and popularity of Salman there and with news that Bajrangi Bhaijaan ET was waived off ( maybe from 2nd week?) - it will play a big part. I always get confused why we should use Nett and not gross though. Gross is the actual money paid by ticket buyers. Nett depends on ET % ( that might keep changing ), waivers,etc. Anyway good times in July for Indian cinema with success of both the BBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkt.india Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think Baahubali and BB might end very close in India nett but obviously BB will have higher WW nett because of entire India, Pakistan diaspora Bajrangi is more than a decent film, so, it is going to last. When films like Kick which were not as good as this did 213 crore, expects Bajrangi to do at least 100 crores more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year is not over yet and we may see some more films coming in to the Top 10; and next year, there would be more changes .... The list has become dynamic reflecting the increase in a) number of multiplexes, b) higher ticket prices, c) increase in population, d) increase in middle class (and their disposable income, e) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he go to PMO in jeans? :headshake: Maybe even in Office, friends that visit do so as friends - Krishnam Raju as BJP MP and Union Minister was known to Modi. Also, PM is not a 9-5 job. PM is PM 24 hrs a day. Officials can visit his 'home'. His friends can visit his 'office'. He is not 'off-duty' after 'office' hrs. This was after Modiji became PM.

Thanks for supplying dumb definitions :hysterical: Based on your dumb definition ----> it would be fair to suggest that every movie AR Rehman gave music too in Bollywood is not a Bollywood project.... Since Anil Kapoor worked in MI, it was probably a trans-global project .... and yeah, Tamahanh worked in Bahubali so may be it is not a Tollywood only project .... and since Rowdy Rathore was directed by Prabhu Deva, it was also not a Bollywood project ....

You can have a different musician and the project can go on. But you cannot start a project without a story. Is it hard to understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
