MULTIPLE FILMS TO RELEASE TOMORROW!
Here comes another Friday which is riddled with releases of small and moderately budgeted films. Sadly, not a single film stands a strong chance of being a commercial success. My analysis:
BANJO: It marks the Hindi debut of Marathi director Ravi Jadhav. The film stars Riteish Deshmukh and Nargis Fakhri and as the title suggests, it deals with the story of banjo players. It is a rare film produced by Eros International single handedly. The trailer is decent and the song Udan Choo has caught attention. But there?s hardly any hype and this will affect its opening day collections. The film might do slightly better in Maharashtra due to the local flavor.
PARCHED: The film was shot almost 2 years back and is ready since almost a year. It is directed by Leena Yadav and makes a strong comment on women emancipation. Set in Rajasthan, it is produced by Ajay Devgn and his presence has surely given slightly more prominence to the project. The film also got in news for wrong reasons when a sex scene of Radhika Apte got leaked. Also, the film is out on torrent websites since a month and this is not good news for any film. Anyways, it?s a niche film and hence, it?s not going to get a huge turnout. But with the leak, its prospects will be further narrowed down. However, the film is carrying excellent reports and hence, it can still work at the ticket window.
WAH TAJ: Starring Shreyas Talpade and Manjari Fadnis, this is a comedy that deals with an interesting topic? a couple from Maharashtra claiming that Taj Mahal was made on their ancestral land and they move court to get their property back! The trailer however doesn?t give out the impression that it would be a laugh-a-minute-riot. Also, the awareness is hardly there. The makers tried to go for innovative publicity by coming out with?Taj Mahal Closed? posters, causing a lot of trouble for them.
DAYS OF TAFREE: This is a remake of the super-hit 2015 Gujarati film Chello Divas and deals with college students having the time of their lives in their final year of graduation. Chello Divas didn?t open with a bang but slowly and steadily, made its mark. Days Of Tafree sadly won?t have that advantage as it?s a Hindi film. The opening will be low but it can grow amongst the youth. But chances are very remote as the film just doesn?t have star value or hit music or great promotion.
