ydakh:
...and lp has such no huge business due to punjabi lang and saima.
sorry jinaab....u're somewhat wrong here!
EVERYONE has to understand something here: larki punjaban has not been OFFICIALLY released worldwide as promised. thats why it has not made the money it was expected to make.
you will notice, in the UK where it was hyped the most, the film was released for a month only, and even that....in certain select cinemas.
now in pak, it is playing sporadically in certain locations. i emailed someone who writes professional articles on lollywood, and this is the response i got in regards to LP:
"Larki Panjaban has had its release delayed because of a case in which some producer claims that Syed Noor has hijacked her film which was called Kuri Panjaban! i saw the boards up for the film passing by Rwpindi the other day but the dates were not up. its bound to be resolved shortly."
clearly, the film is suffering due to its sporadic release. if sayed noor was able to release it simultaneously as he wanted, there is NO DOUBT it would have SMASHED lollywood records.
so ydakh jee, i appeal 2 u (aap to sumajh-daar hain!), and everyone else that has a brain, 2 not be ignorant and blame saima, and the punjabi language 4 this film's problems. lack of exposure, this scandal abt the name, sporadic release dates and a host of other reasons contribute to its lack of success thus far.
