This is the ‘Oops, I didn’t see that coming!’ week at the box office. Once in a while we get one of those films that is an unexpected blockbuster. In 1975 during the week of Sholay there came a modestly budgeted Jai Santoshi Maa which became a cult film in its own right, and made more money than Sholay.
Right now we have no idea how far The Kerala Story will finally go. What we do know is that this is not the right time to get into the theatres. Last week Sudhir Mishra’s Afwaah was complicatedly obliterated by the Kerala typhoon. This week Nawazuddin Siddiqui wisely postponed the release of Jogira Sara Ra Ra.
