Sarkar Raj-A Self Proclaimed Hit

Sarkar Raj which is not doing well at the box office is being claimed as a hit by the makers and the team of the film by splashing posters around the country which call it a hit and its actors are calling it a hit in interviews while collections tell a different story.The team of Sarkar Raj should know better that a film can never become a hit like this and are probably trying to get some extra mileage so the public believes its a hit and they get a few extra footfalls but the public is far too smart for this and are keeping well away from the film.Distributors around India give their views on Sarkar Raj:Avtar Singh Kochar Of Gunjan Films and Dolly Films, Delhi

“As Per my knowledge Sarkar Raj was sold for 6 crore in Delhi,UP and Punjab and will only be able to recover 3 crore. Since the film is backed by a corporate giant they are scared to accept the fact that the film is a flop.”Shrikant Sethi of Roop Rajat Cine Vision, Rajasthan

“The Rajasthan distributor, Sahara One will lose almost 50% of its investment. On Thursday 12th June , Sarkar Raj collected just Rs700 in its morning show at Galaxy, Jaipur. How can the film be declared a hit.”Mahendra Soni of Venkatesh 2000, West Bengal

“The film is doing fairly well at multiplexes but the collections at single plexes range between 8-10%. I think the film sold was for 1.25 crore in West Bengal but looking at its collections, it will only be able to recover about 80-85 lakhs. The collections are much below Mr Amitabh Bachchan’s other movies . In fact Bhoothnath collected more money than Sarkar Raj.”
