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!

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.

'Yeh Ishq Sarfira' not inspired by Najafgarh gang war: Director
Director Varun Khanna has clarified that his upcoming revenge drama "Yeh Ishq Sarfira" is not based on the brutal Najafgarh gang war going on since many years. "Since the time I have shared the plot of my film with some of my close friends, several of them found resemblance with the Najafgarh gang war. When we were shooting and when I showed some of the film's scenes, many had similar opinion. But I want to clear it once and for all that 'Yeh Ishq Sarfira' is not based on the particular case," Khanna told. "There could be certain resemblances but that is purely coincidental. I wouldn't deny this fact that my script is inspired from several real-life incidents not just from north of India but other places of the country as well. There have been other incidents like the Najafgarh gang war, so it's strange that all think we've adapted that case into our film," he added. The particular case in question involves two villages of southeast Delhi area Najafgarh - Dichaon Kalan and Mitraon, where a former MLA was killed in March this year. The murder was considered a fallout of the conflict between the gangs of respective villages going on since decades regarding land-grabbing and real estate business. The film stars Akhilesh Verma, Oviya Helen, Naina Aswal and Mukesh Tiwari. The film traces the metamorphosis of a lover into a gangster to take revenge for the murder of his girlfriend. "My only focus was to make an out-and-out entertaining film set against the backdrop of a justifiable revenge story. And I'm extremely confident that I've made something that the masses would love. We don't want any controversies to our film by unnecessarily tagging along the name of that gang war," Khanna said. "Yeh Ishq Sarfira" is produced by Sushila D.R. Tokas and Kavita Ashraf Ali under the banner Rahul Productions and A. K. Films. Mates Entertainment is releasing the film across India on November 20.
