    ‘Yaariyan’ fares well, ‘Dedh Ishqiya’ struggles at the box-office

    MUMBAI: Music has saved the day for Yaariyan as the film, despite mixed reactions, has had a very good opening weekend collections. The film has managed to collect Rs 16.5 crore.

     

    Dedh Ishqiya opened slow but improved gradually on Saturday and Sunday but further improvement in collections will be needed to make the film a worthwhile investment. The sequel to Ishqiya has collected about Rs 11.3 crore in its opening weekend. The festival of Lohri today may affect collections for a day. 

     

    Mr Joe B. Carvalho is a poor film that meets with poor fate; the film ends its week one with a meager Rs 3.15 crore.

     

    Sholay 3-D collections dipped further during the week to end its first week with a figure of Rs 8.3 crore.

     

    Dhoom 3 continues to be on a record setting spree having added Rs 19.73 crore in its third week in its Hindi version and collecting another Rs 2.76 crore for the fourth weekend thus taking its total for Hindi to Rs 267.74 crore for 24 days and with the addition of TnT versions, the film has collected Rs 280.49 crore.

  • New Year jinx continues at BO with no big show

    New Year jinx continues at BO with no big show

    MUMBAI: The first Friday of a new year jinx continues to haunt as a film released on the first Friday of a year inevitably fails. But, having watched Mr Joe B. Carvalho, one is convinced first Friday or Diwali Friday, the result would have been the same; the film is bad. The film barely manages to cross two crore mark over its first weekend.

     

    The 3-D experiment with Sholay does not click as the film meets with lukewarm response. The curiosity value of this being the legendary film Sholay or the fact that it was converted into 3-D format seemed to be missing. Having collected about 1.3 crore on Friday, the film did not show much improvement as it ended its weekend with 5.2 crore. At this rate, it may prove to be a costly experiment.

     

    Dhoom 3, true to its title, continued breaking records even in its second week at the box office. The film collected 65.24 crore in its second week taking its two week total for Hindi screens to 245.25 crore. The film is steady over its third weekend with figures of 12.49 crore and adding 42 lakh for Tamil and Telugu versions. At the end of 17 days, the film’s total collections stand at 257.73 crore for Hindi and 12.49 from T&T taking its total recovery to 270.22 crore.

     

    Mahabharat (animation) has not been able to cash in on Christmas vacations. The film has managed to collect 1.3 crore in its first week.

    MUMBAI: Choreographer turned actor Javed Jaffrey seems to be doing really well for himself in the acting arena. Jaffery, who has done some good roles in films like Salaam Namaste, Dhamaal, Singh Is King and many others will soon be seen a comic avatar once again for BR Entertainment’s Mr. Joe B Carvalho starring Arshad Warsi and Soha Ali Khan.

     

    Javed will be seen playing different characters in the film. According to sources, for one particular character of a Maharashtrian woman, Javed himself did his makeup of putting the prosthetic s and making it look as authentic as possible.

     

    According to a source, prosthetics were specially flown down from Thailand, but due to some technical error it could not reach Mumbai on time and thus Javed had to don the role of a make-up artist as well.

     

    However, he seemed to be a pro at it as he has portrayed a woman even earlier. While he had a fair idea about what goes into the makeup of a prosthetic, to get it perfectly he did a detailed research on the net, shocking everyone on the sets with a super real look.

     

    Well, so now we will know when we see the Maharashtrian character played by Javed on-screen that he has put a lot of effort get into the character.
    Mr. Joe B Carvalho will releases on 3 January, 2014.
