With the production works fast on the heels, Jumbo will hit the screens for Christmas' So, Our Jumbo Akshay Kumar would be Santa Claus endowing children with a precious gift.
Box office analysis-October 12 , 2007
First weekend performance of latest release Every year, there is one week like this when 2/3/4 films release on the same day and all turn out to be box office disasters of equal proportions. In fact it is hard to figure out which of these films is a bigger trade disappointment than the other since the collections all over at all centers and each show are near to negligible. The weekend gone by saw history repeating itself as each of the four films - GO, CHODDON NAA YAAR, ITS BREAKING NEWS and 50 LAKH saw literally empty theaters on the first day itself. The writing was clear on the wall - audience was in no mood to even give a chance to any of these four films that had nothing going in their favor. GO came very near to Ram Gopal Varma's AAG and as expected, it was a field day for those who had seen the film as well as those (which formed majority) to rip it apart even if that meant doing so without any rhyme or reason. This Gautam Kumar debut film was definitely not bad but when the tide is so strong against a film maker and the pre-release buzz is all negative, there is nothing that can save a product. Add to it a predominantly new cast and crew and the battle is further lost. CHODDON NAA YAAR was a strange film in itself and hence there was no surprise when audience gave it a cold shoulder without even giving it a dekko. Also, those who saw it hardly had a good word to say about this mumbo-jumbo of horror meets KAAL meets adventure meets some mish-mash which just didn't make any sense in entirety. In the end, a no-show for Jimmy Sheirgill who can only take solace from the fact that he, as always, got decent to good reviews for his work. IT'S BREAKING NEWS and 50 LAKH were so dry before their release that sheer unawareness amongst the audience about the films hardly came as a surprise. Result? Empty theaters all around for the two films which won't even get into a second week running. Last week's movies DIL DOSTI ETC. has turned out to be a surprise earner at the box office. It's first week collections have been 1.5 crores which is good enough to make this small budget film reach the safety mark. Debutant director Manish Tiwary's realistic film laded with humor found an audience amongst youngsters and found stable footfalls throughout it's first week. While Mumbai had 40 lakhs to show, Delhi was decent too at 20 lakhs. Delhi NCR further contributed with another 20 lakhs odd hence making it a good success up North. Released at selective number of prints and carried forward at a good number into the second week, the film has made it's mark in spite of close to dozen releases in the month of September. At 3 crores, JOHNNY GADDAAR is on a sticky ground as of now. Though the number is hardly flattering, some very good appreciation from audience as well as critics raises some hopes of a decent second week. As expected, the film saw maximum collections from Mumbai (80 lakhs) with Delhi at 33 lakhs. Low cost of the film would ensure that the film covers it's costs at the least but the sad part is that this Sriram Raghavan directed caper hasn't got it's box office due. Even if word of mouth sustains it in the second week, the BHOOL BHULAIYAA and LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG onslaught at majority of multiplex screens would force JOHNNY GADDAAR an early retirement. From the past Two weeks back it didn't quite seem that DHOL would follow the MALAMAAL WEEKLY route. Well, at least the first couple of weeks have indeed followed a journey in this direction. Just like Priyadarshan's earlier comedy, even DHOL has seen a reasonably good second week with only 45% fall. Earning 5.5 crores more, the film has now crossed 15 crore mark hence becoming a semi-hit right away. The film has done quite well in centers like Mumbai and Delhi where it has netted 80 lakhs each more in the second week. One more good week like this and DHOL could well gain a higher status. MANORAMA SIX FEET UNDER is a huge disaster with collections falling by close to 90%. With mere 30 lakhs in the first week, one can easily see the kind of billing film would have after two weeks. Extremely disappointing to see some good act going completely unnoticed. In the meanwhile DHAMAAL continues to create some rock solid 'dhamaal'. The film can finally wear the HIT tag for itself as this Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffry and Ashish Chaudhary film has sustained excellently in it's 4th week to see a negligible fall (less than 10%) from it's third week. An added 3 crores in the collections means that the film has now crossed the 28 crore mark and would comfortably cross the 30 crores milestone. From 70 lakhs last week, Mumbai has barely dropped, as indicated by 65 lakhs in last week whereas Delhi has in fact jumped from 30 lakhs to 35 lakhs. A clear cut HIT now, it is a second successive success for Riteish after HEYY BABYY. Even for Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, it is third big money spinner after the twin success of Munnabhai. HEYY BA BYY is now in it's last leg and may sustain only for around a fortnight more. With close to 50% fall and only 40 lakhs more coming in, HEYY BABYY has crossed 51 crores but it unlikely to reach the 52 crores mark. CHAK DE INDIA is turning out to be the VIVAH of 2007, though on a higher side! While VIVAH was busy collecting in lakhs on a consistent note once it went past the first 4-5 weeks, CHAK DE INDIA has taken the crores route. In it's 8th week, the film has done phenomenally well to actually show a jump in collections and netted another 2 crores. The film stands neck to neck with year's biggest money spinner, PARTNER, at 62 crores but would cross it easily this week. In the future While this week's BHOOL BHULAIYAA is a T-Series film, LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG has Yash Raj Films backing. As are the indications BHOOL BHULAIYAA is going to be a clear winner as far as the opening weekend goes. Superhit music, presence of mighty Akshay Kumar, presence of Priyadarshan (who can even make a DHOL a blockbuster), a successful theme (the film has been made in numerous South Indian languages and has been a success every time) and a complete family film appeal are just a few reasons which might make BHOOL BHULAIYAA as the first choice of cine goers. On the other hand LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAGA has been pretty 'thanda' ever since its promotion began. Presence of actors like Rani Mukherjee and Abhishek Bachchan is a little too predictable when it comes to a Yash Raj Film, the music has not caught up at all in spite of being pleasant, the buzz is clearly missing while the film's theme sounds serious. The film should pick up and that too purely on the basis of word of mouth once the BHOOL BHULAIYAA wave settles down.
'Ae Meri Zohrajabeen' - Music video watch
Firoz Nadiadwala is one film maker who is always known for his lavish production values, multiple stars and last but not the least, at least a couple of 'item numbers' that are exotically shot and mostly comprise of 'phoren' babes with 'apna' heroes. In recent past he has done that in 'Hera Pheri', 'Awara Paagal Deewana' and 'Deewana Huye Paagal'. And if this was not enough, even in 'Aan', that was directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, who is famous for his realistic approach to film making, he ensured that there were at least two item/dance numbers incorporated in the narrative. But with 'Phire Hera Pheri', he plays it a little different as he moves on with the times. No, it's not that he has come out of his fascination for item songs. It's just that he has given it a different flavor, look and feel to it! Lay out the red carpet for one of the funniest comic numbers ever shot for a Hindi film - 'Ae Meri Zohrajabeen'! Sung and composed by Himesh Reshammiya, the opening 3 words are borrowed from the namesake classic in 'Waqt' but the remaining lyrics along with the music is completely different....and interesting! Imagine the frustation of Baburao [Parsh Rawal] as he sees his entire gang of friends and foes gearing up to sing and dance for the next performance of 'Dhoom Dhaka orchestra' but choose to ignore him and that too in a BIG way? Everyone from Akshay Kumar, Suneil Shetty to Sharat Saxena gives him a cold shoulder as they get ready to wear their 'chatak-matak' attire for their performance. Insult to the injury comes when Johny Lever first [mistakingly] hands him the clothes that were originally meant for Rimmi Sen and then to keep him away from cribbing, he brings out a jumbo size collar bow with polka prints. Bewildered by the very thought of wearing just a bow, Baburao seekes revenge....and how! And to think of it, so far this was just a prelude with the song still to begin! Cut to the 'desi' stage that has been created with shades of all white and pink. Akshay Kumar and Suneil Shetty share a mike as they sing the opening lines while having a small little tiff within them, only to settle down as a team in a matter of few seconds. And guess what, both of them wear white colored 3 piece suits, pink frills and big brown shades! Imagine their look as they try to be as serious and hep as the banner of 'dhoom dhadaka' looms large in the background. This is not all as each of the male leads are accompanied by Bipasha Basu and Rimmi Sen who stand on their either sides and appear as bimbo'n'cute'n'barbie-like as possible. While Bipasha chooses to wear a short pink skirt and a white top, Rimmi chooses a denim mini. With delicate body moments to suit the mood of the song and the characters they enact, the two ladies [who act and look like teenage girls in the video] sway mischievously to the foot tapping tune to make for an eye candy moment. Also starring in the video are Sharat Saxena [who plays the drum master], Johney Lever [who plays a yellow colored guitar], Suresh Menon and Sunil Pal [who play guitarists], while Rajpal Yadav gets behind the keyboard. And all these 9 characters appear in one single frame wearing whites and pinks, only to be joined by the 10th - BABURAO! Wearing the gifted polka bow on his neck, he appears in a trademark torn vest and a lungi with big round high power glasses. His manner of taking revenge? Do whatever it takes to disturb the 'dhhom dhadaka' orchestra, even if that means whistling in the ears of the lead singers, interfering with the guitars, plugging away the wire from the keyboard, coming too close to comfort to the leading ladies or to play it simple by just snatching away the mikes! No wonder, it's time for mayhem to begin even as Himesh Reshammiya's catchy song continues to play in the background. Milind Gunaji, looking each bit a local 'neta', waves on the screen for a few seconds, Manoj Joshi shows his teeth in split second frame while body builders dressed in black kurtas try throwing away Paresh Rawal from the screen. The culmination of the song comes when none other than KING KONG arrives on the screen as Baburao uses him to his full advantage by first irritating the beast and then pinches him in the bottom to provoke him into creating a riot. Things go topsy turvy, blows fly, punches exchange and finally Baburao declares him as the winner with his parting slogan 'JAI MAHARASHTRA'! The music video works in a big way with every age group and should be a strong reason for people to flock this Neeraj Vora directed film that comes on 9th June!
