You
are
bound
to
have
a
winner
on
hand
with
director
Priyadarshan
and
the
star
with
impeccable
comic
timing
Akshay
Kumar
showcasing
to
audiences
in
a
light-hearted
manner
that
they"ve
mastered.
Produced
by
Hari
Om
Productions
and
Cape
of
Good
Hope
Productions,
Khatta
Meetha
is
Akshay
Kumar"s
lowest
budget
movie
so
far
and
has
already
ensured
the
producers
a
substantial
profit,
thanks
to
a
new
strategy
that
was
adopted
keeping
in
mind
the
economic
meltdown.
The
film
shot
at
a
humble
budget
has
already
grossed
net
collections
of
Rs.230
million
(Rs.23
crore)
in
its
opening
weekend
in
India.
Reveals
a
trade
analyst,
“The
film
is
doing
extremely
well
in
single
screen
theatres.
It
had
a
great
opening
weekend.
Akshay
Kumar
works
his
charm
again.
A
relatively
low
production
cost
helped
the
makers
successfully
distribute
the
film
and
thereby
maximize
the
revenues."
Adds
acclaimed
trade
analyst/critic
Taran
Adarsh,
“The
strategy
of
making
a
film
in
a
moderate
budget
and
selling
it
for
reasonable
prices
ensures
safety
for
not
just
the
producer
but
also
the
distributors.
Akshay
and
Ashtavinayak
deserve
kudos
for
keeping
the
industry"s
well-being
and
health
in
mind
by
keeping
the
economics
in
check
and
also
creating
a
tremendous
buzz
for
the
film."
