Ki and Ka Box Office Prediction

This Friday we will witness an unorthodox rom-com Ki and Ka which stars Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The film is directed by R. Balki who have earlier directed Paa, Cheeni Kam and last year’s release Shamitabh.

Box Office Analysis:

First of all, there is hype and buzz building around the film. It has a one chartbuster song High Heels which will work well for North Indian audience. There was one special screening held on Sunday and the Bollywood celebrities are going gaga over it. But honestly, they have been doing the same for many crap films too. So it can never be trusted unless there is screening for critics.

R. Balki’s films have mostly limited appeals. They have never worked in core Hindi belts. Probably that’s why they have added a Punjabi super hit track in the film. As far star cast is considered, Arjun Kapoor is coming after two back to back failures Fining Fanny and Tevar though the later took a good opening.

The cricket world cup final is scheduled on Sunday. If India reaches the final then Ki and Ka will be affected big time. Though new releases have failed to perform and Kapoor and Sons will be in its 3rd week. Also, Ki and Ka will have two open weeks till the release of Fan.

What works for Ki and Ka:

• Decent Buzz
• High Heels topping the music charts
• Two open weeks

What does not work for Ki and Ka:

• Director’s track record
• Limited Appeal
