Advance Booking Returns To Bihar With ´KANK´ ?


No doubt , BIHAR POLICE has controlled the BIHAR cottage INDUSTRY " CRIME " . This can be visible with a simple example of Advance Booking in PATNA movie theatres . last 15 years LALU forced the urbanites to sit at home and watch only TVs but now Patnaites are visible in lat night shows . Its a good sign .
The concept of advance booking had more or less dissappeared in the Indian state of Bihar . Mainly catering to Bhojpuri films of late , its capital Patna had last seen some advance booking for 'Raja Hindustani' , almost a decade back .
However , the good news is that for Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' ( released at four theatres of Patna - Ashok , Dalvi , Mona and Vaishali) , the advance booking counters were thrown open during the recent holidays , specially so on Independence Day .
Needless to add that it was the high demand for the tickets that led to the decision at a couple of the above mentioned theatres .
While on the movie in this less heard of circuit , 'KANK' may not be a runaway hit here but the distributors expect a decent distributors share of about 20 lakhs in the first week itself .
