India should be cautious of the possibility of China’s new ‘low-risk-high-returns’ approach towards the border: delegitimising the nationality of Indian travellers from Arunachal and the use of proxy actors acting at its behest.
A minor grandson has been detained on charges of murdering his elderly grandmother on suspicion of practising witchcraft, police said on Monday.
Ikkis opened to Rs. 6 crore nett, which was above the forecasted range of Rs. 1.50-3.50 crore. The numbers were inflated by external help, but the organic figures were also higher than the high end, at probably around Rs. 4 crore nett. That represents a miss, though not an alarming one. The reason for the miss was likely the holiday boost being underestimated.
There is no new entry in “Pinkvilla Predicts” this week. Today, we have the final forecast for The Raja Saab (Hindi) and Jan Neta (Hindi), along with an updated projection for Border 2.
Other Updates
The Raja Saab (Hindi) remains unchanged. There has been no development over the past week to warrant a revision in either direction. There are also no pre-sales yet, to give any indication on that front as well.
Jan Neta (Hindi) got a trailer which suggested a regular South-style masala entertainer without any breakout potential. The forecast is lowered slightly from Rs. 1.50-3 crore to Rs. 1-2 crore.
The song “Ghar Kab Aaoge” was released from Border 2. As expected, it has been received positively. The song video is also well-received, with visuals also being an improvement over the first teaser. The forecast is upped from Rs. 33-40 crore to Rs. 36-44 crore. The trailer is expected to come soon, which could lead to another upward revision in the forecast.
