Sagar alias Jacky Super Opening
March 31, 2009
Mohanlal's distribution concern Maxlabs has taken a whopping distributors share of Rs 1.33 crore within four days of Sagar alias Jacky release (March 26 to 29). It is a record opening share from 101 screens.
But the bad news for the producers Aashirwad Cinemas is that the film does not carry good word-of-mouth, and initial euphoria over collections is fast evaporating. There is nothing new in the film, and whether the film will be able to hold on is in doubt.
At the most the trade thinks Sagar alias Jacky is an average grosser that will cover its cost (reported to be around Rs 4.5 crore). A lot depends on how good the other three big Easter-Vishu releases are- 2 Harihar Nagar releasing on April 1, IG on April 3 and Moss and Cat on April 12.
If any of these films click with the family audiences, it will become even more difficult for Sagar to woo the summer special holiday audiences, who make or break a film.
