The year 2017 turned out to be an unexpected year for some of the biggest movies, as they failed to deliver what it promised! Jab Harry Met Sejal is the latest to join this bandwagon.
Jab Harry Met Sejal, which had Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in the lead with director Imtiaz Ali behind the camera failed to deliver what it promised to the fans.
JHMS was one of the most anticipated movies of the year and everyone thought that after Tubelight, SRK starrer will be the saving grace for the Box Office! But it didn’t turn out to be. The domestic box office collection of the movie is not at par with any of SRK’s own movies and is in bottom three in the list of ‘highest grossing movies’ of this year so far.
Tubelight, which somehow managed to cross the Rs.100-crore mark at the box office, still incurred huge losses despite the star power it had!
Salman Khan, who after realising the heavy losses incurred by the distributors, reimbursed Rs.32.50 crore with an undertaking that out of it, Rs.1.50 crore would be refunded to the exhibitors, sources said.
According to sources, the distributors of JHMS has made a plea to SRK for reimbursement of the losses they incurred!
SRK, who was generous enough to compensate the distributors of Dilwale (2015) with Rs.25 crore, is yet to decide the fate of distributors with his contribution to cover the losses!
