Chandni Chowk Collapses – Down 80%

Folks, now it’s confirmed.

Chandni Chowk to China is a bada box office disaster in the U.S. (On Sunday, we gave you CC2C box office estimates but now we give you actual numbers from boxofficemojo).

In its opening three-day weekend, this pathetic piece of shit Chandni Chowk to China managed to gross only $629,921.

This offensive piece of garbage, which opened in a record 130 theatres in the U.S., had an average gross of $4,846.

No, that was not a typo. It is a pitiful $4,846. Less than Om Shanti Om, Ghajini, Jodhaa Akbar, Race, Dostana, U Me Aur Hum, Sarkar Raj….

Hey, less than even Krazzy 4 and Bhoothnath.

How low can you sink, Akshay?

Here’s how Chandni Chowk to China fared compared to other prominent Bollywood movies in the opening weekend at the U.S. box office. The below numbers tell the sad box office story of Chandni Chowk to China:

 

Remember this junk had Warner Bros. backing it, had Akshay Kumar as the hero, had Akshay personally promoting it at premieres in the U.S., had opened in a record 130 theatres here and had released in a total of 40 international markets.

And yet after all this, Chandni Chowk to China grossed a piffling Continue reading »

Here’s Take 2 of Incredible India containing some of those only-in-India incredible stories:

* Priests at an Orissa temple performed a special purificatory ceremony after the visit of a Dalit minister. There must be a special place reserved in hell for the Brahmin swines who still engage in obnoxious discriminatory practices in many parts of India. 

* Karnataka buses stop entering Maharashtra border.  Are Karnataka and Maharashtra two separate countries? It would seem so. Here’s an excerpt from the TOI story:

The Karnataka State Transport has stopped plying its buses in bordering areas of Maharashtra after Akhil Bhartiya Chhawa Sangathan burnt a Karnataka bus in Latur on Sunday.

Chhawa had torched a Karnataka state transport bus on Sunday at Latur as a protest against the Karnataka Government using force against Marathi speaking population protesting against the assembly session in Belgaum.

Karnataka buses have stopped entering bordering areas in the backdrop of attacks on them, Divisional Controller, MSRTC, Latur, R K Jadhav said.

* India accounted for 22% of global pregnancy-related deaths in 2005, according to the UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children 2009 report. Yes, India also accounts for 25% of deliveries unattended by skilled healthcare workers.

* Movie piracy is so rampant in India that Slumdog Millionaire was available on the Local Area Network of IIT Kharagpur before the movie’s official debut.

*  It’s Diwali in parts of Bihar. Some remote villages in Bihar are getting electricity because they happen to be along the route of the local Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Vikas Yatra.

* Sure, road accidents are often beyond your control but pray that it never happens to you in India. We are increasingly seeing reports of road accident victims in India being just left unattended to die.

* Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is apparently very mad over the reaction to his latest crap show Chandni Chowk to China. Why the hell is Akshay mad? The audience should be mad and Akshay Kumar should be on his knees begging forgiveness for subjecting fans to such torture.

Mera Bharat Mahaan.

My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents.

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly Continue reading »

Folks, the long nightmare has ended. 

Barack Obama is now our President.

The 44th President of the United States of America (the country, we and over a million other Indians now call home).

The First African American President of the United States of America (one cannot even imagine the pain that Blacks have endured for over 400 years).

And we couldn’t be happier today.

Barack Obama – 44th President of USA

Facing so many pressing problems, our country badly needs an adult in the White House.

We have very high hopes from Barack Obama.
