Major Hurdle for MS Dhoni @ Box Office?
MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, the upcoming biopic on star Indian cricketer MS Dhoni is all set to hit screens on September 30, this Friday. Undoubtedly, the film has huge buzz and advance booking for Dhoni biopic is on par with the films of any star hero. The film will arguably take a monumental opening at the box office as the trailer has already promised several goosebump moments for the fans of the cricket icon. But, the one aspect that worries a few fans is the film's runtime. The eagerly awaited film clocks a runtime of 3 Hours and 10 minutes, which is very huge for the audiences of this generation. However the good a film is it will be a tough task to make audiences sit through the film for in excess of 3 Hour duration. We have seen a handful of examples in the recent times where even good films couldn't sustain at box office owing to excessive length. We hope that Dhoni biopic breaks this jinx and become a good money-spinner at box office as the film's rights have been sold for high prices.
Fanaa - Last major musical score of Jatin Lalit
Fanaa, upcoming flick from the house of YRF, is special not just because of great production values and the Aamir Khan-Kajol combo. It is also special as it has some of the last songs composed by the composer duo of Jatin Lalit who have now split. Jatin Lalit, who gave some great music for YRF in films like DDLJ, Mohabbatein and Hum Tum, would be taking a bow as a duo once their album 'Fanaa' hits the stand. They do have a couple of small pending releases that may happen later but for all their die hard fans, 'Fanaa' in all probability would be their last and final call. Truly an end of a great era that witnessed dozens of melodious 'n' priceless gems. Here is looking forward to 'Fanaa'!
