i dont think it ill get better response with the publicity compaign as well same as the case with taj mahal although GEO network is promoting taj mahal very agressively with live shows and all that but i still feel people r not excited atleast about these 2 movies.

Taj Mahal is getting huge publicity but i think Mughal-e-Azam will do better business!

i read today in daily Pakistan that Mughleazam got first 3 shows full n ppl r coming to watch film even from out of city may b its a publicity stunt

Taj Mahal is the best film there is at the moment.It looks wonderful to say the least

Taj Mahal will get the better business even though it has been huge flop everywhere. Thanks to our media which in the last couple of weeks is aggressively promoting the film.

Just wish our media could do the same when it comes to Pakistani films.

I am hoping that both films flop.

jus thinking

taj mahal mein kuch bhi nahi hai..both hero and herione are looking stupid...but production values,sets and dresses are attractive..
people will watch movie atleast one time for excitment..soon will be finished..

that s strange
i thought everyone will go to cinema to watch moghl e azam

MUGLAI-E-AZAM is lot better in actin ,dialogues, performances......than stupid tajmahal

mugal-e-azam is a complete washout.

taj mahal has also failed at the box offfice.

Mughal-e-Azam has just been running as a special case in one cinema in Pakistan without any publicity. The release of the film is going to be on the 2nd of June as per the news in the papers. Probably will come to know then if the film fairs well at the box office or not.
However, Taj Mahal is also not doing bad. It has done good business in Karachi and also in some cinemas in Lahore.

Taj Mahal fails to click

LAHORE: Indian movie ‘Taj Mahal’, which was highly advertised and projected by both the Indian and Pakistani media, has failed to attract Pakistani cine-goers in the first week of its release, sources told The Post Saturday.

The sources said that cinema administration was seriously considering stopping the movie as it was not making handsome business to meet its expenses.

The movie’s first premier was held on April 26 at Plaza Cinema which was attended by several renowned artistes from Bollywood and Lollywood, while the regular shows started on April 28. People seemed so keen about the launch of an Indian movie in Pakistani cinemas after a lapse of more than four decades.

Taj Mahal was simultaneously launched in three cinemas of Lahore (Plaza, Imperial and Sozo World) because experts had anticipated the movie to be a huge success.

Muhammad Mubashir, an accountant at Plaza Cinema, told The Post that the movie couldn’t live up to the investors’ expectations.

“The cinema has a seating capacity for about 850 viewers but not more than 100-120 people came to see the movie in each show,” he said

He said the before Taj Mahal’s launch, they were exhibiting King Kong at their cinema which was shown for 16 consecutive months and generated a lot of revenue for the cinema. “We have to stop playing Taj Mahal in its third week of release to avoid further loss,” he said.

Mubashir said the main reason for the movie’s low turnover was the changed taste of Pakistani public. “People don’t want to see costume films,” he said, adding that today’s public would love to see vulgar dramas but not a serious love story. He claimed that everything including the story, acting and picturisation of the movie was good. Taj Mahal had also failed to attract Indian viewers during its release there.

well agree wid yoyo its a complete disaster in karachi as well dont know abt other cities but yea its failed in karachi and i can see the fate of mughal e azam as well i agree with that guy,people r not interested in costume drama.

i dnt think its costume drama, but its the films.

mugal-e-azam is old and even floped in india, how can it run in pakistan, was bad mistake to release it and taj mahal is just sh*t.

the films lacked star power, it was just like watching a big budget pakistan film. if salman khan or shah ruck had been in the film they would have been huge hits.

hazar bar dekhi hue films ko kon dobara paise de kar dekha ga.tajnehal is a mockery of great mughal emperor it deserves disaster.greedy cineowners n clever indian producer thought that our masses r so stupid that they will rush madly to cinemas to watch a dead flop film n they will make a lot of money.but they r mistaken.our Majajan is doing ecellent business still hats of to syednoor n other team i bet that its only our good films that can revive industry.

well there are several reasons why pakistanis peoples didn't rush to the cinema:

1. I read somewhere there were also threat from a radical islamic group
2.Pakistani peoples already watched this movie on the dvds.

and the third reason why majajan is doing well,coz it is not realesed on the vcd/dvd..

disagree with the first point but yea rest of the two r making sense.

today is the last day of taj mahal in pindi,tomorrow,our yar badmash will be running in shabistan

asif gifted the mughle azam cd to prevez mushh ... he gave it to his frns they to their frns... and the film was pirated well before release..

so who will want to go to the cinema if u get the ORIGINAL DVD of the film....
