The story so far....
"NammaBasava" lies bloodied and immobile (but not dead) while a wounded "Auto Shankar" tries to jump-start his 3-wheeler. In the horizon the headlights of the car "Swamy"......
And now for the prelude to the finale.....
The dark night is deadly ominous as the moon plays hide and seek with the passing dark clouds. The night is hot and humid with an acrid polluted (Indian) feel. The few street lights of your typical Indian street are broken. In the shadows of the run-down buildings emerges "Amrutha(dhare)", Gone is the "Gowramma" look. Amrutha is dressed like a B-grade 1950's Hollywood movie gangster moll(copied form C-grade Hindee film heroines copys). Her mini-mini is designed to cover less and show more. In high heels, she walks in the shadows of the buildings without the wheelchar....
In the crash site, a bleeding "Auto Shankar" desparately tries to start the Auto, while furiously looking at the approaching headlights of "Swamy". Suddenly the speeding car hits a huge pothole and bursts a back tire. "Swamy' fights the wheel to steady the car.....
A brief moonlight ray reveals the "Jogi".....watching and surveying the scene while standing in the foyer of a run-down building. Amrutha spots him and quickly moves towards him....rolling her eyes, smiling widely, and shaking her hips....she gives him the "come-hither" look.
Jogi : Amrutha, What are you doing up so late.......
Amrutha : Just call me Amu....I want to be with you "Jogi". i want you !!
Jogi : Why me ? You can have any of the guys out there....
Amu : I don't like auto drivers...not my class... no "Swamy" either..Indian cops are so stupid....I want you Jogi...
Amu presses her buxom body against the Jogi while one manicured finger traces his cheek and the other caresess his.....sack.
Jogi : Well...you can wait here and soon "Visnu (sena)" will come along...you can have him.
Amu : Shut up Jogi. I do not like old, bald and fat men in wigs/toupee....moreover I only like originals...I have "class"...so says Nagathalli and some "Viggy" members.....
Jogi : Where is the wheel chair that you were pushing ?
Amu : Oh...I dumped it on the road...
Suddenly there is a huge bang as the speeding "Swamy" hits the wheel chair discarded by "Amu" on the road. The impact has the dead body of "Haseena" flying up the air like a badly made govt missile. Nothing happens to the wheel chair and it starts moving by itself due to the crash's momentum. The force of the impact however; rips open a panel of the "made in India" car and it severes to the right avoiding the crash with "Auto" and "Basava". Seeing this, Jogi lifts his turban and pulls out a 45 Magnum and fires at the car's wheel. The bullet smashes the steering pin (at the wheel) and the car's wheels gets locked. It starts circling the scene with "Basava" and "Shankar" at the center. A frantic "Swamy" with a bloody nose, slams the brakes of his battered car but like all Indian products the brakes fail at the critical moment.
As the clouds break briefly, the moon's light reveals a bizzare sight of a car gone out of control - circling a broken down "Auto" and an immobile "Basava" - at the center. Suddenly the wheellchair comes rolling out of the darkness and in to the center and hits "Namma Basava". Like a scene out of a 1920's Hollywood monster movie (in black and white), "Namma Basava" opens his eyes and sits up like Frankenstein/zombie. "Auto Shankar" sees this and screams out of fright and frantically tries to start his "Auto".
What's next ? You gotta wait for the finale !!
And now for the all important data from 2C3I2C.....
1)Deadly Soma : Moves to its 6 th week at two Bangalore theater and sticks on at almost all released locations. With occupancy(s) in the range of 60%. DS is an above average...about to be declared the sleeper hit of the year.
2)Namma Basava : It is a fact that the movie is not doing well in Bangalore. In fact it is Puneeth's worst performing movie in Bangalore. However it is also a fact that it is doing pretty well at several other locations. Enters 5 th week at 4 Bangalore theaters and 28 centers having lost 4 centers. Expected to lose more theaters and locations next week. No change in outlook - average with some extra dough for the producer.
3) Auto Shankar : The mirror image of NB. Doing OK in Bangalore (though occupancy is around 50% - 55%). Enters 5 th week at 9 Bangalore theaters and also in 23 centers. Like all Upendra films struggling at out-of-bangalore locations with pockets of strenghts. No change in outlook. Will be average with some extra dough for the producer. Struggling to get theaters in locations outside of Bangalore due to Upendra's spotty record of bringing in the crowds. Many theaters are reportedly already negotiating for "Anna Thangi".
4)Amrutha Dhare : Continues to be dull everywhere with occupancies in the 40% to 50% range. There has been no word-of-mouth upswelling for the movie since no additional centers or theaters have been added. Struggles at 8 locations and enters 4th week at three Bangalore theaters. No chance of being a hit at this time. Will mostly get battered with upcoming releases later this month. But will mostly recover its investment and cover any interest due say 2C3I2C.
5)Swamy : Opened at a whopping 20 theaters in Bangalore last week to poor reviews and collections. While poor reviews are nothing new for Darshan starrers it is possible that fatigue of repeat theme is setting in. The movie averaged 50% occupancy in the first week...not a good sign. Moves to second week at 16 Bangalore theaters (one was not verified at the time of this report). Darshan is foolishly pushing his luck and runs the risk of being permanently brandede as slum/c-grade star. 2C3C2I estimates the movie like almost all Kfilms is low budget at IR 10 M. Let's wait and see.
6) Jogi : The Blockbuster completed 50 days at a whopping 48 plus locations/centers (one location is one town.city). In Bangalore it has established several records - first 50 day (regular show) KFilm in the falsely prestigious PVR and also big bucks at the 10 theaters of Bangalore. The movie enters its 9th week at an eye-bulging and - not seen in recent memory - 8 theaters in Bangalore (regular shows)and has not lost any location to date !!! 2C3I2C estimates it's 8-week tally in the vicinity of IR 160 Million (M). Grossing IR 250 M should not be a difficult task for the movie say 2C3I2C. IR 300 is also attainable; but anything beyond IR 300 is diffcult to predict at this time.
7) Boy Friend : Moved to second week at Bangalore's "Aparna".
Samanarsimha Nayaka is the name of this week's release at 1 Bangalore theater. Why no live report for this movie ???
Upcoming : Not so good tracking for almost all upcoming movies by the general public. Of the soon-to-be released movies : "Anna Thangi" is reportedly getting the best deals from theaters mainly beacause of the post-Jogi hangover. Expected to do well in "B" and "C" centers. the movie is important for Shivraj since his comeback is not assured given his one-flop-one-hit routine. The other remakes are generating excitement only amongst their respective :-) groups reports 2C3I2C.

Chicks, sorry to say this, your box office report has gone back to the old ways of only bashing without any facts and figures to support it. Again, the very fact that you are writing reviews sitting some where else isolated is affecting. 
Your box office report can be read for your great english writing skills, but content wise, it's like Ravichandran's Aham Premasmi. Technically brilliant, but contentwise, average to NILL.
People here aren't getting tickets for Amrutha Dhare and your report says Dull. I can see huge crowds almost everyday at Uma even during the weekdays. This is highly ridiculous.
And, you say, Auto Shankar is not getting theatres outside Bangalore. For your info, it got released in 6 theatres outside Bangalore this week and will be releasing in 11 theatres outside Bangalore next week.
Mind you, I am not writing the above facts simply because it's against my favourite star, but, just to remind you that you have missed many a facts while compiling your reports. 
So, finally, it can be concluded that, people at the action zone only will be aware of the facts, while, people sitting else where and writing will always fall upon imagination just to cover up for the shortage of information and to satisfy their ego.
As you said in one of your previous posts 'Box office and Human feelings are mutually exclusive'. Likewise, in your case, I can write, 'Box office, ego lack of informaion and ego are mutually inclusive'.

Chicks, one more very, very funny thing in your Box office report was about Anna Thangi getting a better deal of theatres as against Auto Shankar outside Karnataka.
For your info, Anna Thangi's dates are yet to be announced.. And you are already talking about theatre dealings. Even producer of Anna Thangi would've been shocked to hearing about this news as to how this news reached U.S first rather than the producer myself sitting here in Gandhinagar.
If you want to know how many theatres in which Auto is releasing next week, follow this link
http://tinypic.com/eg35fd.jpg
No film is scheduled for release next week. So, if Anna Thangi has any plans of coming, it will be only 21st Oct. It's still a long way to go. So, writing Auto Shankar not getting theatres due to Anna Thangi is so stupid

I too agree with Ranga on Amritha dhaare. Yesturday morning around 9 AM i was going to majestic. On the way I saw a huge crowd opp. to Sagar theatre, for the 10.30 show. When I came back at 10.45, I saw Houseful board. Still many ppl were standing outside who didn't get tickets. I heard that AD is going great guns even in INOX and PVR. So, AD is not at all DULL.

akumar is perfectly right. All shows are HOUSEFULL at PVR today also. Then at Sagar, you can't simply talk about.
Enjoy these theatre listings for Jogi, Swamy, Deadly, Auto, Basava, Amrutha Dhare, Aakash and Daasa.

Some producers affectionately call Darshan their personal ATM. Though it is a little weird, one cannot question his success, though Swamy may lower his success rate.

Yes jb007, you are right. Such things happen to any actor. For eg., even Puneeth's success rate came down heavily with Veera Kannadiga and Namma Basava.

Before we comment on CC's BO update I have a point...Years ago, some movies like Beladingala Baale, Chandramukhi Pranasakhi were running housefull shows in Bangalore, Mysore Theatres..people returning without getting tickets...running in BLACK as well....but in the end the Producers of those movies were depressed with the returns saying they got back just their investment / they didnt even get their investment back....HOW COME?
Simple, these classy movies never took off in those B,C centres....
Here too, CC's BO report is on the whole of Karnataka.....We guys just look at the HOUSEFULL boards in front of Sagar, Uma etc and START CELEBRATING but we do not know how it is running in those B,C centres..Perhaps it is average over there...Its like a case of Tendulkar hitting a HUNDRED and the others contributing just single digit scores....obviously in the end a hopeless total of 170 allout...so here too, the overall returns perhaps gets Balanced / reduced because of not too impressive B,C centre collections.
But looks like Nagathi is happy so far....

A very good point by you jogiboy. I truely agree with you in case of BeladingaLa baale, Chandramukhi etc.,
Even in the case AD, such a case would've happened. But, as per what NagathihaLLi says and Press is projecting, AD has been received well even in the smaller theatres at places like Hubli. In fact, NagathihaLLi has said in one of the interviews that, AD has 10 HOUSEFULL shows in one of the theatres in Hubli. He in fact has said that his money has returned and whatever that he gets from now on is a Profit.
Looking at the overall trend and producer's satisfaction, it surely is a HIT movie with good collections, but definitely NOT DULL as said by Chicks' box office report.

Jogiboy,
For your information, AD is released in just few theatres. Outside of bangalore it got released in very few centers (mysore, hubli, belgaum, davanagere, shimoga and mandya). None of them are B or C centers. So, there is no question of AD doing bad in B and C centers as it is not yet released in those centers.
Coming to other centers, in Mysore Sangam, AD is doing better than bangalore!. One of my friends who stays in mysore went to Sangam theatre 3 times and came back without getting tickets.
You may tell that AD may not do good in B and C centers, but that is future. The current Box Office update should tell the current trend of the movie and NOT THE FUTURE PREDICTIONS. and AT PRESENT AD is doing good in all the centers. Also, as per nagathihalli, he has got almost his investment. So, what ever he will get in future will add to the profit.
In case the bangalore based 2C3I2C wants to predict the future Box Office fate of any movies now itself (dont ask how!), then please dont call the topic as "BO update", call it "Futute BO update"

Ahh.....Again my predictions are right on target  
First : Jogiboy is right. The bo report is not for Mysore or Hassan but for the entire state. It is an aggregate like all BO info. This is not new, I have been posting BO for some time now.
Second : Do not form over-reaching opinions based on what you saw in a specifc time period. In other words anecdotal information does not constitute the complete information.
Third : Ad opened at 8 locations and added one recently. In B'lore it is in just 3 theaters in regular shows. Compare that to the fact that a telgu film opened at 9 plus theaters in B'lore that tells you. Dull means just that - Dull. I did not say "Flop". Without getting into semantics, let me say I am pleased Mr. N claims he has made his money. No wonder the movie is technically shoddy ; he must have saved a bundle in not having post-production. Ya Ya. This is the same guy who claimed he was releasing 26 prints (Just look up Mr. Ranga's poster post above).
A Kumar : Congrats on your 50th post and hope that it will inspire you to take some remedial course in reading and comprehension. You are saying things that are not in my statement. 2c3I2C is not making predictions. Nor did I say anything about "B" and "C" centers w.r.t. AD (go up and see my post). In India there is this concept of "table profit". A producer makes and sells a movie to various distributors. So if it cost him 100 bucks and the total of his sale equals 105 bucks, he will smile and tell you on the very first day that he has made his profit. But when the movie flops five days later, the distrbutors are left holding the bag. Imagine if your movie released only in 8 towns is a hit in the second week...hummm..everybody in the world will be making KFilms.
And Ranga "Hubli" is no small place market wise or by any other measure.
Due to technical difficulties with Viggy I will continue in the following post.

Ranga : Ha ! How typical...we have gone through this last time with Gowramma and also with News. Looks like you have become a full-time represntative of Mr. Upendra (Hope you did not quit your day job since you are betting on a wounded horse that is about to retire...or so he says).
1) Thanks for those posters' posts. Nice touch. Hope you do it more often. Just use a higher setting for your digital camera. I know you are a young man with laser sharp eyes but 77 year olds (78 on Nov.1) find it difficult to read.
2)Read the post carefully, 2c3I2c say that AT is being booked at theaters currently screening AS. I never gave any date. You are seeing things and putting your own spin on stuff that were not mentioned.
3) Here's where you shoot yourself in the foot...both foot/feet. Check the posters for DS and Swamy. Look up M'lore, Mysore and other 3 places. Both posters claim they are showing their movie at the same theater !!!!! (Please do not start claiming they are screening at 2 AM or some such DurgaDevi festival special screening...). This is where 2C3I2C do such a wonderful job. They do not go by posters or even newspaper ads since they are ridlled with errors and outdated information (typical Indian shoddyness). They independently track and provide the data. Now you know why sitting in the US I have (and will always do )far superior information while you do not even know correctly as to what's screening at your local slum.
If this were a legal case you would be DOA since you have perjured yourself and also unwittingly strenghtened your opponent. Your posters actually proves that I am (again ) right on target. (MEMO TO FILE - Send world famous Chicago chocolates to smart members of 2C3I2C).
AS has been released in fewer centers as I indicated. If your client was such a bog star (he is not); how come even "Swamy" got theaters readily during its first week itself getting more centers and theaters???
4) The info on AT was included to flag that some theaters screening AS would yield to AT as soon as the date is fixed.
5) Even the poster information on NB is incorrect (verified by 2C3I2C), it is not running in so many centers where it was first released, but has moved on to other locations. Hence the fact that it is not a hit.
6)Fortunes change every week. My comical write up reflected that point of time. Next week could be a different story.
7) No matter how much you jump, your client has a spotty BO record. It is a well established fact that theaters are weary in booking his movies. Hence his desire to quit. How come all his movies are released with such smaller number of prints compared to a relative newcomer like Darshan ? Also why did "top" producer have to wait to get theaters so long when "Swamy" swooped in easily. You should sit down with both your clients and have a chat instead of getting all hot and bothered.
8) Why are you so sensitive ? I did not say your client's movie is/was a flop. Read..."pockets of strenghts"..in my post. Seems that anything "average" bothers you a lot. Common sense dictates that if KFI indeed made so many hits, the whole world would be lining up to make KFilms.
I am pleased to say my posts are unemotional since numbers must be viewed as such. Unfortunately the same can not be said of you. You take it too personally...your BP goes up and...

A very typical and clever post by you Chicks.. It's like the Kannada proverb 'Jatti keLge biddru meese maNNaaglilla andnanthe'..
If you read through my posts, I have never ever commented on the box office status of Auto Shankar or box office record of Upendra in this thread. You have a pre conceived notions on my of our posts and many actors too, which reflects in your Box office records.Even My only contention was your claim that Anna Thangi is getting a better deal of theatres than Auto Shankar. How stupid this prediction or fact is with no film getting released next week and Anna Thangi may be slated for release on 21st which is a long way off. You have never given any justification for this point. As I told you in the beginning, very clever. .. You are a JagaJJatti..
In the posters that I have uploaded, if you see clearly, Auto Shankar is going to release in 15 new theatres next week.. If this is the case, only a school going child will buy your theory that it's losing out to Anna Thangi which is yet to be released. False Box office Report Badshah, Mr.Chicks, without any answers
And, I pity you about your sentence ''AS has been released in fewer centers as I indicated. If your client was such a bog star (he is not); how come even "Swamy" got theaters readily during its first week itself getting more centers and theaters???''.
This is where you lack the much needed info sitting at U.S. Auto Shankar was released with only 36 prints. So, Raamu would've arranged for theatres which would accomodate 36 prints. Now that it has finished it's run in many of the theatres in Bangalore and other areas where it has been there for the last 4 weeks, he is moving the prints to other locations where it is getting released now.
You claim of your Box office to be emotional doesn't have any base. The only thing that can be said is the your construct everything cleverly such that you can justify yourself in either way.
You say AD is Dull, X is Average, Y is mirror image. If anybody harps on you, you escape by saying 'I have never said it's a FLOP'. Later, you will update the statuses to be either 'HIT' Or 'ABOVE AVERAGE' etc., Ha ha, this is not a box office record, this is like a stock market, manipulate as you need.
If your Box office report needs to have any degree of practicality or importance, you should have by now clearly said the statuses of both Namma Basava and Auto Shankar by now which have completed 4 weeks.
If you can't say a movie which has completed 4 weeks of run, whether a HIT or a FLOP, it's better to close down your Box office business. Only a dementic person will wait for ever to get the final outcome of a film.
Deadly Soma also you kept on saying it's not a HIT yet until recently. But, we were knowing from Day 1 that Soma was a HIT.
Ditto in the case of Gowramma and Shasthry.
Chicks, I am not only a full time representative of Mr.Upendra, right from Dr.Raj to Mr.Aadithya, I am a full time representative of every actor who strives for the good of KFI and who has kannada at his heart.
Also, chicks, your one mor remark was ridiculous.. 'Common sense dictates that if KFI indeed made so many hits, the whole world would be lining up to make KFilms'.
Again, as I told you earlier, you are bugged by mis conceptions. You go by your pre conceived notions rather than going by the facts. If KFI has produced so many HITS, you have to believe it. If you assume that KFI can't produce so many HITS, then, it's your problem. Not others. According to you, when the whole world lines upto make KFI films, does that mean KFI has given hits? Ha ha, this is the height of pessimism and there is something seriously wrong in your thinking. It's pretty plain that your ego doesn't permit you to accept that Kannada Films are becoming hits. You are so used to bashing that, you have taken for granted that, KFI can't give a series of HITS as it is giving now. But, that's your problem, you have to solve it
And, thanks for the good words on Posters chicks. I shall try to upload it regulary with a higher resolution.

For your information, AD is released in just few theatres. Outside of bangalore it got released in very few centers (mysore, hubli, belgaum, davanagere, shimoga and mandya).
You may tell that AD may not do good in B and C centers,
adhe naanu helidhu...Belgaum nalli, Shimoganalli hege odthidyo yaarige gothu? And mind you, if at all Amrutha gets to 50 days in those so-called B,C centres I am the FIRST ONE to celebrate..yaakendre, Nagathi antha nirdeshakarige uthsaaha barathe...next film maadoke..avaranthaha nirdeshakaru maneyalli koothidre ITS A CRIME ON OUR PART...
I always was disappointed to know that movies like Beladingala Baale, Amruthavarshini, Chandramukhi and some other classy movies didnt run that well in those so-called B,C centres...Lets hope for the best for Amruthadhaare. Jothege, first day-ne heliddhe ...AmruthaDhaare is like a TEST MATCH antha...

jogiboy, your test match analogy holds good only for so long. When garbage movies from other languages are being released in over 6 to 12 theaters, it is utterly pathetic for a Kannada movie with a good pedigree and favorable reviews to be playing in 3 theaters. Movies like AD rarely do well in B & C centers and more often than not they are not even released in B & C centers. They have to make the money in the A centers.
A bad movie like Indra (telugu) earned RS 52 lakhs in Bangalore. It is insulting to portray a very anemic run by a Kannada movie as a major success. The blame lies with the producer for a poorly conceived release as well the audience in Bangalore. The entry of American Companies into Bangalore over the last two decades has brought more slave labor from the rest of India. Most of these people are not only ingrates but also spiteful of Karnataka.

CC, Ranga and Jogiboy are all correct.
1. SAT I went Sagar theater for 4:30 pm show and watched AD. 100% full. And I paid Rs.75/- for balcony ticket.
2. Auto Shankar is released in 6 theatres outside Bangalore this week and will be releasing in 11 theatres outside Bangalore next week. Already the new theater list is given in UV.
3. All tickets for SAT/SUN were soldout at PVR one day before.
4. CC: Ur report is Xlent.

Enjoy these theatre listings for Jogi, Swamy, Deadly, Auto, Basava, Amrutha Dhare, Aakash and Daasa.
THANX a lot Ranga. This is what I was missing very badly for last threeor four months, since I am not getting Kannada news papers of Bangalore edition here. Earlier I used to get Kannadaprabha everyday evening. In Mumbai we get Two kannada news papers of Mumbai edition without Picture posts of Bangalore.
I will be too glad if you put this pictureposts on every Sunday regularly. Since there will be some duplication of theatres in Friday's picture posts I prefer Sunday ones.
I think all forum members will like this idea.
THANX A LOT once again Ranga |

Jogi : Well...you can wait here and soon "Visnu (sena)" will come along...you can have him.
Amu : Shut up Jogi. I do not like old, bald and fat men in wigs/toupee....moreover I only like originals...I have "class"...so says Nagathalli and some "Viggy" members.....
Do not talk bad about vishnu.... If you dont like him, dont watch his movies. I like him very much.. and definetely i know u call me as a chamacha.. but i dont care... |

Chicago Chickanna - Your report 100% right.
AD WILL SURE PICK UP IN COMING WEEKS. bUT IT MAY NOT DO WELL IN B & C CENTERS.
D.S - AN AVERAGE HIT MOVIE.
N.B & A.S - BOTH ARE AVERAGE OR ABOVE AVERAGE HIT MOVIES. A.S IS DOING SLIGHTLY BETTER IN BANGALORE. BUT IN SOME OTHER PARTS N.B IS DOING WELL. THANKS FOR RAMU FOR PUBLICITY OF A.S.
SWAMY NEXT WEEK WILL DECIDE HIT OR FLOP
JOGI - BIGGEST HIT IN HISTORY OF KFI
SWAMY

Dear Rajendra,
Thank you for your good words on the Posters that I had pasted here. Definitely, I shall update it every sunday, just for you.
And, coming to the post problem, in fact, I had not posted any new message, but, I had updated my earlier post in the thread. So, when you don't find a new post from any of the poster, but if you see their name in the last post by column, you just have to go to their previous post in the thread. They would've made some changes in the previous post.
Dear Rajendra, in this thread, I have made changes to my message posted at Posted - 09/10/2005 : 10:04:34 AM. Please refer to that post.
