More news →SAAWARIYA advance booking is a surprise
If a highly placed official at one of the biggest multiplex chains across the country is to be believed, SAAWARIYA advance booking has been nothing short of a pleasant surprise. He says on the condition of anonymity, "Even if OM SHANTI OM opens at 100%, no one would be surprised. Everyone is pretty much prepared to face such a situation due to the Shahrukh Khan factor combined with immense buzz and hype." "What has surprised me though is the way audience seems to be making queues for SAAWARIYA advance booking", he adds, "Expect for Sanjay Leela Bhansali, on the face value one can't add much to the hype. Ok, so Ranbir and Sonam are there but in the end they are still newcomers. This is why it is refreshing to see that audience are willing to give the film a dekko even as they are all going for OM SHANTI OM."
SAAWARIYA fails completely in second week
All claims by the makers of SAAWARIYA stating that the film was finally finding an audience in the second week have proved to be untrue. The film has seen a massive fall in the second week and what seemed like at least an average status for the film has also come under a threat. Though the first week billing of SAAWARIYA was much better than just being face saving with as much as 20 crores coming in, more than 80% fall in collections as per the reported centers in the second week shows the writing clear on the wall. Film has seen a terrible decline all over with major cities like Mumbai accounting for mere 65 lakhs and Delhi being poor at 35 lakhs. Further nail in the coffin has been barely 2-3 shows per multiplex that now remain for the film in it's 3rd week. On the other hand JAB WE MET has shown a huge increase in it's fifth week and is now back with close to 6 shows at majority of multiplexes. The way SAAWARIYA is going, it may well be time for it's DVD release by the time DUS KAHANIYAAN takes over the screens on 7th December. GOAL looks at 100% collections over the weekend
Sameer joins Bhansali for Saawariya
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films have always gathered momentum before they are completed. Be it Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam or Devdas or Saawariya. They all have their reasons to be in the limelight. Saawariya particularly has several reasons. It marks the debut of star kids Ranbir Rishi Kapoor and Sonam Anil Kapoor. If this was not enough, the film has Ismail Darbar's assistant Monty doing the music for the film. The music is experimental and very lively and different from the recent styles. Another piece of information here is that lyricist Sameer has joined the camp. He has already penned eight songs for the film. Four of those songs have been already recorded. Sameer is waiting for the music of the film to release for he feels his work in this film is an answer to his critics. He penned all the numbers in a very short span of time. The songs are meant to be light hearted, innocent and simple enough to help the leads express their love for each other in the film with absolute easy and simplicity and innocence.
