you got that right Tejas...WAS pro AB...
As for this article... keeps on harping about how ab should have done this and that like it knows whats best for Bachchan. Unlike Rajnikant, AB had a huge debt to pay and i will say this a countless time... I admire the AB who did all the crap to pay of his debt than be a coward and declare bankruptcy! Yeah it hit him hard in terms of his image and box office standing... but atleast AB can look at himself in the mirror and say "I did the right thing"!!!!
Whatever will happen to BHTB..... lets just enjoy the ride...good or bad!

Q: So what will be the box office fate of Amitabh's Buddah Hoga Tera Baap?
A: After news of recent Rajnikanth successes down south, this type of film had/has great potential for Bachchan. Had this movie released 10 years ago after original KBC instead of a movie like Mohabbatein, it would have taken probably a toplevel opening (ie in today's parlance a Rs. 90-100 crore week). Because it harkens to an era when Amitabh actually used to be a legitimate #1 crowd pulling superstar at the box office on a regular basis. Today there are more questions. Over the last decade, Amitabh, unlike Rajnikanth, accepted just about anything with movies like K3G, KANK not to mention countless special appearance and character roles which went against continuity of his 'Vijay' era symbolism, which was the basis for his stardom. Now they're going back to it, but an entire generation has been skipped who simply isn't aware of Bachchan's peak days (barring a whiff in Bunty/Babli briefly in 2005). Most of the ticket buying audience (18-35) crowd never ever even saw Agneepath or the Hum queues in theaters let alone Deewar or Natwarlal, which is what you want if you want a hit film out of this. In terms of prerelease content for this film, after the original promo of BHTB which was well received, the new song promos with Raveena Tandon as well as 'beep' promos are once again spiraling the film down and coming across as awkwardly forced and haphazardly put together, more like the late 90s flop Bachchan films instead. Section of public which may have been intrigued initially doesn't know what they're going to get here, Nishabd or Bunty&Babli, Lal Badshah or Aakhree Raasta . That said, at 10 crores the budget is miniscule and it will take a bigger opening than Amitabh Bachchan's last few films in India.

I thought IBOS was pro AB. Then why so many negative comments on the box office fate of BHTB.

ok, sure there is some merit to this but I mostly disagree. If the movie is good, it will do well.
why does he come back to Mumbai?
how does he solve whatever he is up to?
how do the other characters fare?
above all, is Bachchan kickass through out? no loose ends.
just like AB is gathering input from us on the marketing etc, it would have been even better had he shown some of us the preview or shared the content/story etc.
