This week two completely different films – Finding Fanny andCreature 3D – will hit the theatres. While both the films have created good buzz, the question is – will Deepika continue to rule at the box office or will Ms Basu race ahead in the numbers game? Read on to know…

Homi Adajania’s directorial venture Finding Fanny starring Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Pankaj Kapur and Naseeruddin Shah will be releasing this Friday alongside Bipasha Basu and Pakistani actor Imran Abbas Naqvi’s Creature 3D. While the former has created great buzz despite being not-so-typical Bollywood film, the latter has also managed grabbed attention since its India’s first creature film which has been made using good visual effects and technology. But we all know when two films clash at the box office, only one of them walks with the bigger money pie. So will Finding Fanny overshadow Creature 3D at the ticket windows? Or will both the films rake in equally good money?

Exhibitor-distributor Akshaye Rathi told us, “Both the films cater to different audiences. People who will enjoy Finding Fanny won’t stand Creature 3D and people who will enjoy Creature 3D won’t stand Finding Fanny. So these two films won’t bite into each other’s business. Bipasha starrer will predominantly work in single screens whereas Deepika and Arjun’s film in the multiplexes.Creature 3D is India’s first creature film so to make it audience friendly the makers have incorporated mythology angle to it along with visual effects and technology which will engage the typical Bollywood audience. As for Finding Fanny, its genuinely a crossover film and has been made purely out of love for cinema. The advantage is that the film is in English which cuts out the language barrier internationally. And it also has face value courtesy stars like Deepika and Arjun.”

He further points out, “Finding Fanny will have a decent release in India but I am pretty sure the oversees collections would be double than India.”

While both the films are poised well, only time will tell which one will actually impress the audience and get cash registers jingling.
