Actor
Arjun
Kapoor,
son
of
producer
Boney
Kapoor,
Tuesday
said
that
it
is
time
to
formalise
the
information
platform
giving
figures
about
box
office
collections
of
the
releases.
Arjun
was
speaking
on
the
last
day
of
the
16th
Mumbai
Film
Festival,
organised
by
the
Moving
Academy
of
Images
(MAMI),
in
a
session
focusing
on
the
marketing
and
box
office
trends
in
India.
"We
had
an
interesting
session
on
box
office
collections
and
the
marketing
strategy.
As
an
actor
I
feel
box
office
is
not
the
only
idea
to
make
films.
But
as
far
as
the
collections
are
concerned,
you
see
a
huge
disparity
in
the
collections
on
each
and
every
website," Arjun
told
reporters.
"So,
we
want
one
reliable
source
who
will
put
up
the
accurate
figures,
which
should
be
unbiased...
We
need
information
from
one
source
about
the
box
office
(collections).
If
we
check
the
collections
of
our
films
overseas,
you
see
the
accurate
collections.
But
it
doesn't
happen
here,"
he
added.
Finding
Fanny
actor
Arjun
Kapoor
further
said,
"So
there
has
to
be
a
legal
and
official
way
to
put
the
awareness
somewhere.
It
will
take
time.
We
have
huge
number
of
theatres,
but
hope
within
a
year
we
get
this
thing
going."
The
16th
edition
of
the
Mumbai
Film
Festival,
which
ends
Tuesday,
showcased
over
185
films
from
more
than
65
countries.
Talking
about
the
festival,
Arjun
said,
"As
an
actor
I
feel
one
should
watch
all
kinds
of
films.
This
is
the
right
platform
to
showcase
different
kinds
of
films."
