    Blood Money collects Rs 56.8 mn in opening weekend, says Viacom18

    MUMBAI: Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Vishesh Films’ Blood Money, has collected Rs 56.8 million in its first weekend, according to its co-producer and distributor Viacom18 Motion Pictures.

    The film garnered another Rs 10.1 million on Monday. Co-produced along with Vishesh Films, Blood Money has also garnered Rs 4.5 million overseas, Viacom18 said.

    Said Mahesh Bhatt, “Viacom 18 Motion Pictures understood the content well and marketed it equally interestingly and effectively , from the music launch at the yacht, to focused promotions of the movie in B -towns and smaller markets.”

    Blood Money fails to keep cash counters ringing at the box office

    MUMBAI: Blood Money proves a lot of sweat about nothing as the film finds poor patronage. In its first weekend, the film collected a meagre Rs 55 million, making it a disappointing fare.

    Bumboo, the other Friday release, also put up a poor performance at the box office.

    Saif Ali Khan’s Agent Vinod has been rejected outright by the audience as an unpalatable spy thriller. Having opened to below average response, it dropped further after the first weekend to finish with Rs 366 million.

    Kahaani remained a one horse race, maintaining steady collections at select multiplexes. The film has collected Rs 88 million in its third week, taking its total to Rs 524 million.

    Chaar Din Ki Chandni added a symbolic Rs 0.6 million in the third-week taking its total to Rs 62.6 million.

    Paan Singh Tomar collected Rs 10 million in its third week and has netted Rs 160.5 million so far.

  • Another dud from the Bhatt camp

    Another dud from the Bhatt camp

    MUMBAI: A small budget film is the only recourse left for many independent filmmakers since most of the big stars have themselves turned filmmakers; thanks to big corporate houses bankrolling their project these stars have nothing to lose. Blood Money is one such small enterprise from Bhatt Brothers who have alternated between some successful and some dud small films. For a small film where the face value of actors is limited, a taut story and narrative are mandatory; Blood Money can‘t claim to have any of these.









    Producers: Vishesh Films, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures.
    Director: Vishal Mahadkar.
    Cast: Kunal Khemu, Amrita Puri, Manish Choudhary.

    Kunal Khemu, a middle class Mumbai lad lands a job with a huge diamond trading company in South Africa where he arrives with his wife, Amrita Puri. A palatial bungalow awaits him. Since film scripts are very accommodating, Khemu wins over his boss, Manish Choudhary‘s heart as well as confidence instantly, so much so that even boss‘ brother is jealous of him. As Kunal Khemu scores one success after another in business deals, though one does not know why a top rated diamond company would be selling in retail to individual customers across office counters, he is soon promoted now having a huge personal office cabin as well as a secretary. Amrita Puri is not quite comfortable with all that is bestowed on her husband by his boss and she cites the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel about a witch luring a brother- sister duo into a house made of cakes and confectionaries with an intent to eat them up. Taken in by his heady ride to success, Kunal Khemu falls prey to an office girl who seduces him during an office party resulting in Amrita Puri walking out on him; the sequence is out of place and irrelevant; if it is meant to add emotions to the story, it fails miserably. Finally, it is time to give the story some reason and an Indian perspective. Sent on an errand to Angola, Kunal Khemu finds out that he has been used by his boss for delivering arms and explosives to some Abu Hamza, a dreaded terrorist; the meeting takes place at what looks like a diamond mine surrounded by weapon wielding heavies and Abu Hamza sits on a wooden desk the kind shown in Hindi films for a munshi at a construction site. Hardly terrorising for effect! It is time Kunal Khemu confronted Manish Choudhary since he is a man on mission and that is his assignment.


    A weak story with treatment so poor, Blood Money does not even have ingredients like action, music or comedy to fall back on. Kunal Khemu can‘t do much in a role that lacks substance, Manish Choudhary is good. Amrita Puri is okay.


    Blood Money is one of those duds from Bhatt Brothers.
