    Krrish 3 continues its strong run; others struggle to make a mark

    MUMBAI: Sunny Deol’s action film, Singh Saab The Great is old wine in a plastic bottle. With so much use of Punjabi language, it could well have been a Punjabi film due to which it loses out on patronage in South and East India while limiting it in other parts. The film’s appeal is only limited to single screens. The movie collected Rs 14.2 crore for its opening weekend which is not very encouraging.

     

    Gori Tere Pyar Mein – the second flick featuring Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan together – has failed to attract the audience from day one and failing to improve even on Saturday and Sunday. A poorly conceived and executed film, it draws neither youth nor the compulsive moviegoer. The film has managed a poor Rs 7.8 crore for its opening weekend.

     

    Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela crossed one more hurdle in UP as there were objections to the film’s title by certain people following which a court had stopped its screening in the state of UP. There were no shows on Friday and Saturday (22 and 23 November) in UP. The producer gave the film a new title, G-K.R.R, for UP and availed of the Censor Certificate following which the screening resumed from Sunday (24 November) onwards. The film has collected Rs 69.7 crore for its first week.

     

    Rajjo has proved to be a futile exercise with the film barley managing to collect Rs 1.65 crore in its first week.
    Krrish 3 has added Rs 8.5 crore for its third week taking its three week total to Rs 171.8 crore.

    Sunny Deol evinces interest to act in a Punjabi film

    Mumbai: Sunny Deol has evinced interest to act in a good Punjabi film, cashing in on the popularity he enjoys in the state of Punjab.

    "I‘ve just learnt that the PTC Network has now decided to produce Punjabi feature films. I have asked Ms Rajiee M Shinde, promoter and CEO of PTC Network to tell me about a good concept; I would be happy to act in a Punjabi film," Deol said.

    "As you know, our family hails from Punjab. We have immense love for Punjab. And also these awards for the Punjabi Film Industry. Last year, my father (Dharmendra) was here to inaugurate the awards, this year I have come," he added. Deol was recently in Punjab to attend the PTC Punjabi film awards along with Raveena Tandon.

    The kind of popularity Sunny enjoys in the Punjab, a strong role in a Punjabi film produced by PTC could well be a confirmed ticket to blockbuster success.

    A trade analyst who did not want to be named said: "They will obviously offer him a great film concept and if Sunny paaji gives the nod, it will be a big hit, because the PTC network is a huge platform to promote Punjabi films in Punjab and not just in India but worldwide."

    The actor paid a tribute to two other icons of Punjabi entertainment – veteran thespian Dara Singh and satirist and actor Jaspal Bhatti, who died last year. Both were presented posthumous Lifetime Achievement awards, presented by Sunny and Raveena to Vindu Dara Singh and Savita Jaspal Bhatti respectively.
