MUMBAI: In less than three weeks after its theatrical release, Director Aditya Dutt‘s Table No. 21 film will now be available online through movie-on-demand platform Eros Now.
Eros Now has made the film available to its subscribers.
Table No. 21 stars Rajeev Khandelwal and Tena Desae in the lead roles. The film is a twisted tale about a couple out on a lavish holiday and how they end up on Table No. 21 sitting across from a mysterious man played by Paresh Rawal.
MUMBAI: Of the three movies released on Friday, the multiplexes had pegged their hopes on Inkaar. Sadly, the Sudhir Mishra-directed movie did not live up to the expectations. The film opened to weak response and failed to improve over the weekend and had Rs 52.5 million to show for its first three days.
The other two releases – Mumbai Mirror and Bandook failed to find audience.
Vishal Bhardwaj‘s Matru Ki Bijla Ka Mandola did not succeed in selling its hackneyed story which built a film around a character artiste leaving little for the lead pair to do. Having opened to a tepid response, it could not improve through its first week run and ended its first week with figures of Rs 313.5 million. The film showed a massive drop over its second weekend and will go down as the first notable flop of 2013.
Paresh Rawal and Rajeev Khandelwal starrer Table No 21 survived week two and added Rs 17.5 million for the week taking its total collection to Rs 112.7 million.
Salman Khan‘s Dabangg 2 collected Rs 27.5 million in its fourth week taking its total to Rs 1.45 billion. The number of screens and the opening week indicated a Rs 1.50 million business but the film may fall short of that mark by few million.
MUMBAI: Saregama Films‘ Soundtrack is being readied to release on 30 September.
Soundtrack, the official remake of the award-winning cult film It‘ All Gone Pete Tong, is based on the true story of Czech DJ Kristov Masalin who lost his sense of hearing due to excessive noise levels at various venues in which he played. However, Kristov‘s career did not end with his total loss of hearing and used various methods to keep his music career alive.
The Hindi version is an edgy, modern day portrayal of India‘s most prolific musician and DJ. It traces his alcohol, drug and sex fuelled meteoric rise, as he battles his internal demons and a damaging handicap.
While the original film, directed by Michael Dowse, had Paul Kaye playing the DJ, the Hindi version, directed by Neerav Ghosh, has Rajeev Khandelwal playing the same. Incidentally, Soha also plays a deaf girl.
