There was an interesting exchange of tweets regarding the business of Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap between trade analyst Taran Adarsh and Abhishek Bachchan. Apparently the business of BHTP is not that great. Well what can you expect when Aamir did massive promotions for the movie Delhi Belly which released on the same day as BHTB.
Here are the tweets

Bbuddah HTB': Got badly affected by 'Delhi Belly' wave. Opening numbers 15% - 20% - 25%, although single screens in Hindi heartland better

Bbuddah HTB': Satellite + Music fetch Rs 14.75 cr. Remainder has to be recovered from India & Overseas theatrical, Home Video and Digital.

@taran_adarsh sorry TARAN. But the figure you have is incorrect. That is not the cost.

@juniorbachchan Strange! The figures have been shared by Viacom18, your partners
juniorbachchan Abhishek Bachchan
@taran_adarsh just sending them to you. By the way loved the review.
juniorbachchan Abhishek Bachchan
@taran_adarsh no. Will tell them to give you the right figures

@juniorbachchan So why don't you share the figures? And deny what your partners Viacom18 have to say.
taran_adarsh taran adarsh
Well, Viacom18 people are standing by the figures they gave me for 'Bbuddah'. People need to get your facts right
And after a while Taran tweeted this.

Over the years I have seen the massive egos getting punctured when film-makers/actors learn that their films start on 15% to 20% note.
