Manoj Desai owner of Mumbai's iconic Gaiety Galaxy called Kanagana Ranaut's Tejas 'worse'
Released on october 27, kangana Ranaut’s tejas received mixed reviews from the critics but the film has clearly failed to leave a mark at the box office. It earned merely a crore on its opening day and the lifetime collections are likely to be less than Rs 10 crores. Recently, several exhibitors from across the country also opened up about tejas debacle and revealed that they have to cancel 50 per cent of their shows because of low occupancy.Manoj Desai, the owner of Mumbai’s iconic Gaiety Galaxy called the response to Kanagana Ranaut starrer ‘worse’ and told bollywood Hungama, “On Sunday, we managed to get 100 viewers. For the rest of the shows, the number of moviegoers was less than 100.” Desai shared that even though he has decided to continue playing tejas on the weekdays in Gaiety, the film will not be played in the smaller audis.“The occupancy was bad even on a Sunday. There are hardly 10-12 people in each show. From Monday, more than 50% of shows are discontinued,” another exhibitor told the entertainment portal. He further argued that Vikrant Massey’s 12th Fail, which released on the same day, is doing better business.
