Bollywood’s Deepika Padukone and Bipasha Basu entered cinemas with Finding Fanny and Creature 3D respectively, but neither film rocked the box office.
If Padukone’s English language quirky drama appealed to a niche audience, Basu’s scary film did not have many takers either, say experts.
Both films came out on Friday. Finding Fanny has managed to collect approximately Rs100 million (Dh6 million), while Creature 3D earned Rs68.8 million in two days.
For Finding Fanny, Homi Adajania went behind the camera, while Vikram Bhatt helmed Creature 3D.
“Finding Fanny has earned close to Rs100 million. Masses won’t go for movies like Finding Fanny. It is popular in big cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore,” Rajesh Thadani of Multimedia Combines said.
However, the film, starring Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia has been recommended by celebrities Shekhar Kapur, Anupam Kher and Neha Dhupia.
The box office business of Creature 3D indicates that it has not succeeded in its endeavour of scaring people.
Also starring Imran Abbas, Bhatt’s directorial has not received encouraging feedback.
“The genre and 3D aspects are interesting, but the subject is not strong,” said Thadani.
Film critic Anupama Chopra also tweeted: “This creature should have demanded a better script.”
