More news →Yeh Jawaani...' crosses Rs.60 crore in opening weekend
"Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" is zooming towards the Rs.100 crore club. The Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone starrer has managed business of Rs.62.11 crore at the Indian box office in the opening weekend itself. The youthful romantic entertainer released Friday, pulling in audiences from all quarters with its package of a suited-to-the-T cast, visually soothing cinematography, peppy music, energy-packed choreography and a simple yet well-executed script. On its opening day, the Ayan Mukerji directorial minted Rs.19.45 crore, and on Saturday and Sunday, the movie managed Rs.20.16 crore and Rs.22.5 crore, respectively. Officials at UTV are happy that the film, which released in over 3,000 screens in the country, has "taken the box office by storm". Gaurav Verma, director, India Theatrical Distribution, Studios, Disney UTV, said the film was doing "exceptionally well across India even in territories like Tamil Nadu and Kerala where Hindi film business is very limited". Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said the film had an "excellent opening" and had emerged as the biggest opener of 2013 so far. "The film has fared exceptionally well at multiplexes and was very good at single screens too," Adarsh tweeted. Expectations were high from "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani", and why not? The producer, director and lead actor come from film families, with a fair share of credibility in the industry. And it was only relevant that they met those expectations. Producer Karan Johar, son of late filmmaker Yash Johar, lived up to his trademark of knowing the pulse of the young audience, while "Wake Up Sid" director Ayan Mukerji, grandson of Indian cinema pioneer Sashadar Mukherjee and the son of actor Deb Mukherjee, has given a perfect follow up of his debut. After delivering a stupendous performance in the much-acclaimed "Barfi!", lead actor Ranbir Kapoor, who belongs to Bollywood's famed 'Kapoor khaandan', has proved yet again that he can fit into any role just like a glove. His dancing capability gets better with every film, and the ease with which he handles emotional scenes, is worth a mention. What works wonder is his reel chemistry with once real life girlfriend, Deepika Padukone. The movie stands testimony to the "We're friends now" theory that Ranbir and Deepika have been trying to tell the world ever since they've parted. There's hardly any discomfort that comes across on the screen - whether it's in their friendly and fun scenes, or when they lock lips in a moment of passion. In more than supporting roles are Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur. Kalki, as the tomboy Aditi, wins hearts with her straightforward dialogues and carefree demeanour, while Aditya, as the alcoholic Avi, strikes a chord with his attachment to his friends. Not to miss is Madhuri Dixit's "Ghaghra" song, and Deepika's Indian wardrobe!
Yeh Jawaani...' grosses Rs.100 crore, and still counting
The industry saw it coming, and fans made it happen - Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone-starrer "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" has become the first film to cross Rs.100 crore mark within just a week of its release. After a bumper opening of Rs.19.45 crore in the country, and an opening weekend of a whopping Rs.62.11 crore, the Ayan Mukerji directorial continued running to packed houses in India. "100 crore. And still counting," tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The youthful romantic entertainer released May 31, and saw audiences who came either besotted by the movie's fun and frolicsome trailer, or by sheer word of the mouth. A hit among the youths and elders alike, the movie has won the audience's heart with its well-suited cast, beautiful cinematography in snow-laden mountains, earthy locales of Udaipur and more, peppy music, exciting dance moves and a predictable, but well-executed script. If the movie minted Rs.19.45 crore on its opening day, Saturday and Sunday brought in business of Rs.20.16 crore and Rs.22.5 crore, respectively. The movie, produced by Karan Johar, also has Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur in more than supporting roles to back this heartwarming story about family, friends and love.
'Jalsa' to hit screens on March 27
While on it, 'Jalsa', the film starring Pawan Kalyan and Ileana will, in all probability, be releasing on March 27. A small part of the film is still to be shot, which the makers say will be completed soon. The audio release is being planned in the second half of February and the release is being timed around Ugadi. The post production work too is presently on in the city.
'Jalsa' audio release may be on February 29
Jalsa is the much awaited film from the megastar's family, as the megastar himself hasn't signed a film of late. Even as he contemplates his next move, all eyes are now set on Pawan Kalyan's film. Directed by Trivikram Srinivas and titled Jalsa for now, the hot news in the industry is that the audio release function could be held on the last day of this month, February 29. Incidentally, this is a leap year and so the date could add some variety. Apparently, the producer is planning an extravagant function for the audio release.
'Jalsa' songs pirated on to the Net
Piracy has become a serious problem to the Telugu film industry. Despite the stars requesting their fans to refrain from watching pirated versions, the craze for such content continues as the fans want to watch their favourite hero hook or crook. Recently, we had the trailer of 'Okka Magadu' being released on the Net, without the knowledge of the makers. That looks mild as compared to the pirated CDs of 'Thulasi' movie that were sold in trains immediately after the film's release in some districts of Andhra. Rajinikant's 'Sivaji' too met with a similar fate. Now, it's the turn of Pawan Kalyan to face the brunt of piracy. The songs of his forthcoming film 'Jalsa' are now available on the Net. It goes without saying that there is frenzy among his fans to download the songs and make CDs of them, so they can watch more of their favourite star. Devisri Prasad has composed the music for the film and it is said to be rather good. A serious incident of piracy has been reported from Amalapuram already.
'Jalsa' audio at Taramati Baradari
Pawan Kalyan's much awaited film 'Jalsa' is scheduled for a summer release. As we had reported earlier, the film's audio release function is being held on February 29. The venue selected is Taramati Baradari as it would be ideal for the innumerable number of fans who would be attending the function to catch a glimpse of their favourite star. Devisri Prasad has composed the music. A couple of songs have already been out on the Net, so the enthusiasm has increased among Pawan's fans. Aditya Music is marketing the audio. The film is being produced by Allu Arvind under the Geeta Arts banner. So, the event is expected to be a star-studded mega event. However, there is much speculation as to whether the megastar Chiranjeevi would attend the function among his fans.
