I watched Billu Bomber, during the weekend, and I was asleep 15 mintutes through the movie, awaken from my nap, why this movie was make, the movie lacks all the possible ingredients, not to mentioned shahrukh khan has proven he cannot act, just give him a big banner movie, like the yash and karan and he will bullshit his way through, he should retire from films.

Billu yet to make distributors happy Tuesday, February 17, 2009 19:03 [IST]
Billu Barber, which was made at a cost of Rs 35 crore including the huge sums of money at which songs have been shot and money paid to the actresses doing the item numbers in the film, needs to recover at least one million pounds in the UK and around 1.75 million dollars in the United States of America for the distributors to be happy.
And looking at the going, it does not seem to be a possibility despite the numerous prints that the producers have come up with for the same. The prices paid by the distributors for this film is high as well. Distributors and exhibitors in India won't be left with moneys for a haircut itself the way the collections have come. Dunno, what the UK and US guys must be thinking.

Boxofficeindia.com "Billu managed to collect pretty well overseas due to the presence Shahrukh Khan. It grossed 2 crore in United Kingdom, 2.50 crore in North America and 2 crore in Middle East. Total overseas business was around 8 crore.

4 days 8 crore..ghajini earned 7 crores on day zero...budget 35 crores collections half...its a big FLOP
Billu bhayankar - sold, promoted and released (1000 prints etc.) as an SRK movie, it did not cut any ice from Day 1. Day 4 performance down to 20-22% capacity, sounds quite pathetic - even CC2C seems like a hit in comparison!. It is time he focused on doing movies rather than tomtoming his star status. He should realise that he lacks grassroots following.

OH so u liked CC2C. Got the hint of ur taste...CC2C was the most pathetic movie of te history of Indian Cinema.
This (Billu) movie is good enough with some good meassages and have interesting plot.
The movie has done a decent collection as compare to CC2C, infact much high, even after the fact that, this is an exam time and also SRK is not the Protogonist here.
Dont worry my dear Alim, it is a good movie and it will do the collection for sure.

ur wrong compared to CC2C it's done worse, CC2C remeber had an 75% opening and in its 1st 2 days it did 22 crore net, and ened 1st week at 28 crore net, the collection dropped massively due to bad publicity. billo here its 2 3 days opening business was 13 crore net, much lower.
Billu drops 75% on Monday LMAO...its not even a recovery now haha

Billu fell very heavily at Indore multiplexes on Monday. The collections are 50% lower than Friday and 75% lower than Sunday. Below is a comparison of first Monday between Billu and Chandni Chowk To China (brackets). Raaz - TMC first Monday was a holiday so collections were much higher.

Is this Indore movie? Indore is the only city where this movie screening? what the hell, if you do not have knowledge of story then please dont write scrap...
most of the people says srk has limited acted abilities.. srk has got 11 filmfare awards which r regarded as oscars of bollywood while akshay has got 0 aamir 5 hrithik 4 and even amitabh 4 .. i think srk will get another filmfare for best supporting role for billu.. he simply manages to steal the show at end

omg, dod you really think he should win an award for this movie? He got 11 awards, hritikh roshan deserve the best award, he is the best actor, shahrukh is pure bakquwaz
Re: srk true king of bollywood
by srkPakistani on Feb 18, 2009 03:32 PM
how many national awards...trust me he will never win any award unless it is sold in the industry
Times of India given it 3 star and Zoom 3 and half. In most of the cases the movie got good review and positive one as well. The movie is great.Have plenty of good messages like friendship, dignity etc and have superb performances. Plots unfold Irfan who is poor Barber and struggling hard to get along with the new time. He looks very ordinary. But his life changes when a day a film team came to their village for shooting. Sahir Khan (SRK) was the star of that movie. The villagers came to know that Billu is Sahir’s friend and then follows a series of hilarious act. The climax scene reveals the truth, which has been portrayed in an emotional and touching manner and is the backbone of the movie.
The story has the flow. The film has lots of light and enjoyable moment and the climax is awesome. Songs are good and go with the story. Not a single loop hole.
Irfan acted very well. He help in portraying the character Billu very Ordinary and witty, yet extrordinary. Lara performed well. And SRK gives much needed charm to the movie. All the other actors performed superbly as always in the lights of Ompuri, Rajpal Yadav. And many many thanks to SRK team for making such a clean, simple, beautiful yet entertaining movie.

I dont think this is going to be a flop one.
It need to recover 50 crore, that it will do for sure. And yes I dont think u have watched the movie. A flop means the producer was not being able to recover the money from the Box Office.
Why u r so much worried about the financial factor. It is a beautiful movie, very much enjoyable.

I think it's a flop, you have to be really stupid to like billu Bacquwaz, most indian movies are base on friendship and dignity, shahrukh has been hiding behind his star status for a long time, time for him to retire and stop acting. give hritick space
