Negative Point-Probblem with punjabi cinema is its budget,just imagine from a state like punjab,a normal bollywood movie collect around 50 lacs to 4 crore(depend upon merits of a film and collection) and a bollywood movie release with around 20 to 50 prints in punjab,so just imagine about a punjabi film,which is having budget around 1 crore to 3 crore,and its prints will release only in punjab and even that in few numbers around 8 to 12.It will be hard for that kind of film to recover even its cost.Harbhajan-Manmohan team's films do well,coz they are having great feedback,they are having goodwill in punjab,and this team's film release with more prints.So this team's movie made profits.Its box office is much better in overseas.Looking at Gurdas Mann,he too was having this goodwill,but after demise of manoj punj things are diffrent.Manoj made three masterpieaces for gurdas and all did well.But someone elce's project yaariyan could not do well,but did well in overseas.In punjab a harbhajan mann movie can get crowd on its plus point and can turn out to be a winner.If film's budget is in lakhs,than things will be better,coz films like majajan and mehndi wale hath were made in lakhs and did well.Majajan and Mehndi Wale Hath were not new wave of cinema,but having commercial feedback. But bali sagoo's film or Ik Jind Ik Jaan(more than one crore) could not do well.Filmmakers should understand one more thing,that they should sign kind of leading actors,who are having good fan following.Someone like rajat bedi cant open a film on his shoulder.Babbu Maan can do wonder,but need good subjects.At the same time film makers should come with new ideas too.
