Biggies have just started arriving this summer and though there are at least a dozen of them before the year ends, for the moment all eyes are set on SHOOT OUT AT LOKHANDWALA.
With its high profile starcast boasting of names like Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Suneil Shetty, Vivek Oberoi and Tusshar Kapoor, the film is currently the hottest in the trade circles.
Says a leading film distributor on condition of anonymity, "SOAL has all in it that makes for a super hit film. Think about the hysteria that Abhishek Bachchan generates today just on his own. And with Sanjay Dutt towering the cast along with Big B, it is surely going to be a 'taali-maar' experience for both multiplex and single screen crowds. Tusshar has a habit of throwing surprises time and again. Remember KHAKEE? And finally Viveik is looking good as he seems to be wearing the same attitude and mannerisms from his COMPANY days. Regarding Suneil, he has never ever disappointed in a multi starrer."
He adds, "All this and more makes me so comfortable about the film's fortunes. Believe me, SOAL would take a huge opening weekend for sure and since I am told that the final product is turning out to be highly exciting too, the film would surely sustain well. Leave aside some other so-called biggies arriving this summer, but all said and done, God forbid, if SOAL isn't a superhit, it would count as the biggest disappointment of 2007 so far."
