[tps_footer]There is one question that everyone is asking in the industry. Some grudgingly, some with a hint of surprise and some with suspicion in their voice. The question is despite bad to worse critic reviews, how did Humshakals manage to garner 70 crore?

Everyone is bewildered as to what went so right for this abysmally wrong film. We think we have an answer to that.

Our audience is broadly divided into reviews deciding cinema going public and the ones who will just watch any kind of movie.

For sure, Sajid Khan doesn’t enjoy a loyal fan base. So that part is completely ruled out. Coming back to the audience, it seems as much as we talk about our audience being evolved and intelligent, we still go for crass comedies. Mindless humour and toilet humour are our preferred choice of entertainment.

We wonder if the the reason behind Humshakals good collections is the fact that India is over populated. It may be woefully bad, but the promos created a good buzz about the film. That made people decide to check it out despite being heavily forewarned by critics.

They flocked the theatres in packs and came out perplexed. Otherwise there wouldn’t be people cracking a joke on Humshakals during a screening of Ek Villain saying, “Beware, Humshakals trailer will be played before the film starts.”

The whole hall had cracked up![/tps_footer]
