    ‘NH10’ collects Rs 12.8 crore in its opening weekend

    MUMBAI: Anushka Sharma’s debut as a part producer in NH10 and essaying a performance oriented, award seeking role, does not quite excite the moviegoer. A dark movie with the theme limited to a particular region and honour killing as the base, further affected by an ‘A’ certification, limits its audience, compounded by the exams period.

     

    The film starts off with five to ten per cent occupancy at multiplexes with single screens’ occupancy being even poorer. NH10 improved over Saturday and Sunday to collect Rs 12.8 crore in its opening weekend.

     

    Dirty Politics, which collected Rs 4.2 crore over its first weekend, barely managed to add another Rs 2 crore over the next four days to end its first week with Rs 6.2 crore.

     

    Badmashiyaan proved to be a total disaster, managing to collect just about Rs 75 lakh in its first week.

     

    Choreographer Ganesh Acharya’s production, Hey Bro, is rejected all around. The film fails to attract the audience and manages to collect just about Rs 1 crore in its first week.

     

    Dum Laga Ke Haisha is the only film that stays afloat despite having a slow start. After performing better in its second weekend as compared to its first weekend, the film holds steady to collect Rs 8.32 crore in its second week thus taking its two week tally to Rs 18.96 crore. The film has emerged as the only wholesome family entertainer in quite some time.

     

    Badlapur: Don’t Miss The Beginning adds Rs 3.6 crore in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 47.7 crore.

    Choreographer Ganesh Acharya to star as main protagonist in ‘Hey Bro’

    NEW DELHI: Veteran choreographer Ganesh Acharya, who has also made occasional appearances in films as an actor, is for the first time playing the protagonist of a Hindi action film, Hey Bro, slated for release this week.

     

    Addressing a press meet, Acharya said, “It’s a comedy film and my I am playing the character of Gopi, who just found out who had a twin brother who was a policeman and the story goes on.”

     

    Directed by Ajay Chandok, the film stars Maninder Singh, Nupur Sharma, and Hanif Lal among others and has been produced by Rahul Mittra.

     

    The film is thus a story about twin brothers with a twist. This is the first time that the audience will see Ganesh as a leading actor and not just a choreographer.

     

    The song ‘Birju’ will see special appearance of various popular faces of Bollywood including Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh amongst others.

     

    “I am very much happy and excited about this movie. I had an amazing experience working with my co-actors and they are very professional, I must say. Hope the movie does well in the theatre,” said Acharya.

     

    Mittra added, “It has different and fresh star cast that will be seen on the screen for the first time. I hope the audience will like the chemistry and the wonderful tracks the movie has.”

     

    The music of the film has been composed by music directors Nitz n Sony, who have experimented with the sound of their music and have not stuck purely to one music genre. 

     

    “This is my debut film and I am doing it with so many great people, it’s truly like a dream come true. I always wanted to do roles with all of them and this movie has an amazing star cast,” said Sharma.

     

    The movie is produced by Ganesh Acharya’s wife Vidhi Acharya and written by M.Salim.
