Will June redeem BO flop show?

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br /><br /><img src="/photo/674735.cms" alt="/photo/674735.cms" border="0" /><br /><br />Can viewers get a whiff of a good/bad film before it hits the theatres? Yes, I believe so!<br /><br />One look at the fate of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Charas </span>and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Sheen </span>that hit the marquee last week and you''ll agree that the viewer of today knows exactly what to accept and what to reject.In this case, the dismal opening day response to the two films said it all.<br /><br />The two medium-budget fares were keenly awaited because the names involved are synonymous with quality work. They have proved their credentials in the past and though one wasn''t expecting them to open to an overwhelming response, one wasn''t expecting them to be damp squibs either.<br /><br />Tigmanshu Dhulia''s <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Charas</span> has been a major disappointment. Coming from the director of the much-acclaimed <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Haasil</span>, one expected <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Charas</span> to take Dhulia a step forward. Similarly, Ashok Pandit had been associated with some super successful shows on television and you expected his big screen directorial debut <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Sheen</span> to make a solid impact on the minds of the viewers as well as at the box-office.<br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section2"><div class="Normal"><br />On the other hand, <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Main Hoon Na</span> continues to reign supreme on box-office charts. The film is faring equally well in the overseas territory.<br /><br />June will see the release of biggies like <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Deewaar, Aan, Dev, Lakshya, Garv</span>. June is a good period to release a film, but the producers and distributors seldom think of the spending capacity of a middle class cinegoer. Is he excited to watch so many films in a month? Does he have the budget to watch so many films in the first place? Averting the clash is the only solution.<br /><br />Unfortunately, we don''t believe in learning from mistakes of the past. If we did, we wouldn''t be repeating the <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Khakee</span> versus <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Aetbaar </span>story all over again.</div> </div>
