NEW RELEASES TO HAVE A TOUGH TIME AT THE BOX OFFICE!
A week before the release of a biggie is usually devoid of any significant film release. Small filmmakers take advantage and try their luck during such Fridays. However, such Fridays then become crowded with multiple small film releases and most of the time, none of the film manage to leave a mark. September 26 would be no exception as almost 6-7 flicks will be hitting theatres tomorrow, before Bang Bang and Haider take up all the screens on October 2. My views on the significant releases tomorrow:
DESI KATTEY: The film marks the debut of Vinod Khanna’s nephew Akhil Kapur. It is directed by Anand Kumar who earlier made Zila Ghaziabad and also stars Suniel Shetty, Ashutosh Rana, Jay Bhanushali and Murli Sharma. Tia Bajpai and Sasha Aagha, who made her debut in Aurangzeb opposite Arjun Kapoor, also feature in the film. Lastly, there’s an item song by the ‘O Balma’ girl Claudia Ciesla. The trailer is interesting and it is evident that the makers have tried their best to make the film look appealing. The film has the greatest chance to excel out of all the releases of the week.
3AM: It’s a horror film about a trio stuck in a haunted and abandoned mill. It stars Rannvijay Singh, Salil Acharya, Kavin Dave and Anindita Nayar. Vishal Mahadkar, who earlier made Blood Money, is the director. The promo indicates that the film will be a scare fare but excitement for this film is hardly there. Even songs haven’t made any mark.
BALWINDER SINGH…FAMOUS HO GAYA: It marks the acting debut of singers Mika Singh and Shaan. Mika himself is the producer as well. The promo is not at all interesting and gives a déjà vu of Mujhse Shaadi Karoge. Songs too haven’t picked up, despite that Sunny Leone features in a song called ‘Shake That Booty’. However, the idea isn’t novel and it seems that Mika is trying to go the Yo Yo Honey Singh way. The film might attract few people in mass centres; that’s about it.
CHAARFUTIYA CHHOKARE: It stars Soha Ali Khan in a leading role with a bunch of kids also playing a significant role. The film tackles the burning issues of child marriage and trafficking. But the promos and songs aren’t interesting at all. The film will have a very tough time and this is really sad since Soha is a fine actress and deserves a well-made significant film.
MEINU EK LADKI CHAHIYE: It has Raghuveer Yadav in the leading role and the promo seems quite confusing. It begins with Raghuveer trying to secure a girl, supposedly for marriage. But soon it becomes clear that the film is a serious courtroom drama. Hence, the title doesn’t match with the film’s premise. Also, the promos give out a B-grade feeling. Needless to say, it’ll be a washout.
Besides, there’s also Dear V/S Bear and Beyond – The Third Kind and both these films stand no chance at all.
WHICH FILM WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THIS WEEKEND AND WHY? DO LET ME KNOW!
