Omkara: Record offers

With Fanaa, Phir Hera Pheri and Krrish proving major money spinners at the box-office, the business of Hindi films is suddenly looking up. The best part is that the distribution fraternity, which was feeling rundown thanks to a spate of flops, has got a fresh lease of life. Several distributors are now ready to jump in the fray and acquire films for extra-ordinary terms, looking at the big boom in the industry.

One film that is being eyed by distributors is Vishal Bhardwaj�s adaptation of Shakespeare�s �Othello�, Omkara. Reportedly, Omkara producer Kumar Mangat has received an offer of 5 + for Mumbai and 4 + for Delhi-U.P. and Punjab circuits. �Yes, I already have an offer for 5.5 for Mumbai and 4.31 for Delhi-U.P. and Punjab. The movie is indeed hot,� he agrees.

With the Overseas territory getting bigger and better with each passing week, Jaanemann fetching an extra-ordinary price for Mumbai and Omkara also getting incredible offers, the day is not far when a producer would be able to able to recover a major chunk of his investment from Overseas, Mumbai and Delhi-U.P. territories itself.
