For years film-making has beenconsidered a gamble whose fatecant be predicted. But accuratepredictions made by a student ofIIM-Indore before the release ofShahrukh Khans Ra.One indicatethat there may be after all a mag-ic formula that guarantees successon the box office.

On October 20, KhyatiMadaan, a second-year studentof the IIMs post-graduate pro-gramme, had forecast thatRa.One will get the biggest open-ing in the history of the cinema.

The prediction, reported byDNA,was based on a formula thatMadaan had derived on the ba-sis of management principles.

And her prediction has hitbullseye. In spite of being ripped

apart by majority of critics andviewers, Ra.One grossed `96-crorein its opening weekend, the high-est ever for an Indian film. It beatSalman Khans Bodyguard by al-most `10 crore. I had predictedthat the films net opening wouldbe`95 crore, says Madaan.

The IIM student has based herformula on factors that includethe combined equity of the leadpair, the films director and theproduction house. The other fac-tors that decide the outcome in-clude the genre fit ofthe film andits stars, the competition at thetime of release, the hype gener-

ated by the films marketing be-fore release and the reaction soonafter release.

So, what can Bollywood learnfrom Ra.Ones success? To beginwith, have a star cast that is pop-

ular among viewers, spend a loton pre-release publicity, releasethe film when people are in amood to spend (the film hit thescreens before Diwali).

Trouble brewing forAI pilots yet againSindhu Bhattacharya NEW DELHI

This may well hurt Air India's interna-tional operations in the coming days.Over 100 pilots under the aegis of Indi-an Pilots Guild (IPG) have threatened toquit the airline, chargingthe management withadopting discriminatoryattitude against themand stalling their careerprogression. In a letter to Air India CMDRohit Nandan, these pilots have said theyare compelled to seek a no-objectioncertificate from the airline so that theycould seek employment elsewhere.

The threat of mass resignation of

these pilots comes amid reports that theairline was planning to launch a train-ing programme for pilots to fly the Boe-ing 787 Dreamliners, the first of whichis expected to join the airline by De-cember. The IPG represents around 200

pilots ofthe pre-mergerAir India, while the Indi-an Commercial PilotsAssociation (ICPA) thathad gone on strike in

April-May this year represents around1,400 pilots ofIndian Airlines.
