    ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ on a barrier-breaking spree; collects Rs 69.85 crore

    MUMBAI: Tanu Weds Manu Returns is on a barrier-breaking spree. Riding solely on Kangana Ranaut’s petite shoulders playing her double roles, the film is slated to set new benchmarks at the box office.

     

    This is Ranaut’s hat trick after Tanu Weds Manu and Queen, all three being her personal triumphs and rewards of her outstanding talent. The film had a sort of tepid opening day but went on to consolidating over the weekend as well as taking a solid grip on the box office to end its first week with Rs 69.85 crore.

     

    Welcome To Karachi, yet another attempt to launch Jackky Bhagnani in a home production, comes as a cropper. A poorly selected, mundane subject, unimaginative treatment and patchy making take their toll. Rather overconfidence of opening the film on Thursday evening for paid previews marred the film’s Friday prospects as the bad reports spread instantly. Resultantly, the film failed to attract viewers on Friday ending it with poor collections even as the following Saturday and Sunday could not lend any respectable figures to the opening weekend tally of Rs 5.55 crore.

     

    P Se PM Tak, a script Kundan Shah had been working and reworking on for eons, released post undergoing a slaughter at the Censors and lack of promotion, fails miserably.

     

    Ishqedarriyaan, a comeback vehicle for Mahakshay Chakraborty, son of Mithun Chakraborty, fails to find audience to avail of screenings. An also ran.

     

    Bombay Velvet drops to about Rs 1 crore in its second week after a miserably devastating first week of Rs 21.65 crore. The film rates as the biggest disaster in last few decades and will lose almost all of its investment and some.

     

    Piku managed to hold its own during its third week despite the Tanu Weds Manu Returns onslaught to put together a decent Rs 9.65 crore to take its three-week total to Rs 74.87 crore.

     

    Gabbar Is Back collects Rs 1.45 crore in its fourth week taking its four-week total to Rs 79.25 crore and marginalizing its deficits.

  • Mithun’s scion used to comparison with father

    Mithun’s scion used to comparison with father

    NEW DELHI: Mahaakshay Chakraborty, son of dancing star Mithun Chakraborty, says he is getting used to people wanting to compare him with his father. “People have tendency to compare things but now I am use to it. I am really okay with this. This doesn’t bother me. I don’t mind the opinions. It’s part of my life.”

     

    Popularly called Mimoh as he worked in the film Haunted, Mahaakshay is playing his first major role as a hero in the film Ishqedarriyaan directed by V K Prakash. He will be playing the role of Aagam Diwan, a millionaire who loves his profession more than anything else.

     

    He stars with Evelyn Sharma, who addressed the media along with singer Bilal Saeed and Asees Kaur and producer Rajesh Banga.

     

    The film is a story about love, sacrifice, family values and relationships. Mohit Dutta will be debuting with this movie. Jeet Ganguly, Jaidev Kumar and Bilal Saeed have given the music of the film.

     

    The model turned actress Evelyn Sharma has worked in many films like Issaq, Nautanki Saala, and Yaariyaan, but her bubbly yet sexy role in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani as Laara grabbed attention. With this film she will be playing a lead role as Luvleen, a teacher by profession, who wants to collect donations.

     

    Talking about the film, she said, “More than me my mother is excited for the film. She always wanted to see me in an Indian avatar and with this movie her dream of watching me like this is going to come true.”

     

    Bilal Saeed too gave a treat to the audience by singing songs from the film, He said, “In Pakistan people are crazy for Indian singers and we always complain that we never get to play our own songs.”

     

    The film is releasing globally on 15 May.
