MUMBAI: Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor starrer “Mubarakan” enjoyed a good run at the box office, but director Anees Bazmee is not too happy with its earning.
“Mubarakan”, a wedding drama, opened in theatres on July 28 this year and went on to rake in Rs 77 crore worldwide.
“The commercial success of a film is definitely important. I do feel ‘Mubarakan’ should have done much better business. The release date of the film also plays a crucial role. There were two big films that released after ‘Mubarakan’ -— ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ and ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ — then naturally the business gets affected.
“I feel business-wise our film has underperformed, it could have done better,” Bazmee told reporters.
“Mubarakan” will be premiering on Sony Max on December 23.
“My films are usually family entertainers like ‘Welcome’, ‘Singh is Kinng’, ‘No Entry’, ‘Ready’ and others, which everyone enjoys. The appreciation is always more when the film comes on TV. I am happy ‘Mubarakan’ is coming on TV and I am hopeful those who have not seen the film will love it.”
The director thinks with every film he has matured and that is why whenever he revisits his movies he feels that he could have done a better job. (AGENCIES)
