Imran Khan’s connection with the first Friday of July

Bollywood’s ‘chocolate boy’ Imran Khan must be anxious since his upcoming movie Delhi Belly is all set to hit the theatres this Friday. But need he be worried? We don’t think so! If the past records are to go by, Delhi Belly will be a success!

So far in his short-yet-popular career, Imran Khan has given some duds at the box office, namely Kidnap, Luck and Break Ke Baad. But what led to the failure of these movies? Was it the script, the direction, or was it the acting? If you happen to be superstitious, the answer is none of them! Actually it was the release date that caused their failures! Confused? Let us explain.

So far, Imran Khan has given two blockbusters in the form of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and I Hate Luv Storys. While Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was a Rs 11 crore budgeted movie and made around 56 crore rupees, I Hate Luv Storys had a budget of 17 crore and made around 59 crore! Interestingly, both the movies released on the first Friday of July! Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na released on July 4, 2008 and I Hate Luv Storys hit the theatres on July 2, 2010!

Now, his forthcoming movie Delhi Belly is releasing on the first Friday of July which is also the opening day of the month! Putting two and two together, we are led to the conclusion that the movie will be a hit! Wink!

Imran, we would advise you to choose the first Fridays of the coming Julys in the following years as the release date of your movies! Rest is up to you; Maane tu ya maane na!
