    No audience, No show status this week

    MUMBAI: With five releases last Friday, most without face value, it was ‘no audience, no show’ status at many cinema houses. Wake Up India, Delhi Gang, Ishk Actually and Sooper Se Ooper were the ones to suffer.

     

    Micky Virus is the one that survived the opening weekend with figures of Rs 4.25 crore. The going will be tough as the new week starts. This film also marked the debut of Manish Paul on the big screen.

     

    Boss collects Rs 47.2 crore in its first week (Nine days). The Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha starrer film released on 16 October and
    Shahid has collected Rs 3.1 crore in its first week.

     

    War Chhod Na Yaar has added Rs 45 lakh in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 6.7 crore.

     

    Exhibition trade is facing its dullest period of the year as pre-Diwali is always a bad time for new releases. Theatres have very poor footfalls and are now resting their hopes on the Rakesh Roshan – Hrithik Roshan brand, Krrish 3. Exhibitors have paid high MG for this film and anticipation is high.

    MUMBAI: Having produced over 150 television commercials, music videos and even a critically acclaimed short film, The Fall (starring Rahul Bose), production house Jigsaw Pictures is now venturing into feature films with their first commercial film Sooper Se Ooper. This quirky drama with Vir Das in lead has been co produced with Reliance Entertainment and is scheduled to come to theatres across India on 25 October, 2013. 

    Jigsaw Pictures CEO and creative producer Rajnish Lall has had over nine years of experience in advertising, having worked in Clarion, Contract & Bates and thereafter headed the marketing division at B4U shortly after. He then founded Jigsaw Pictures about eight years ago and will debut as a creative producer and the line producer of Sooper se Ooper. He is among a few who is comfortably straddling the productions both in the TV commercials and feature films.  

    On his first production, Rajnish said, “Working on this film was like taking a fresh guard in the field of production… it has been an amazing, exciting and rich experience in the last two years. From fine tuning the script, putting together the right cast and technical team of my choice, the extensive shoot in Rajasthan and Mumbai to production of lovely songs all within a modest budget has been a Sooper se Ooper experience! In this journey we had the support and guidance of a big studio like Reliance Entertainment.” 

    The movie Sooper se Ooper is based on an Indian superstition ‘that making a will (legal document) is an indication that that your time has come near’. The story revolves around the character of Vir Das, whose fortune has dwindled and selling his ancestral property may just be the way out of the situation but he runs into a problem as the ancestral land was not will-ed to him by his parents. Filmed in Rajasthan and Mumbai, the story takes an interesting and entertaining turn during the journey from village to city and vice-versa. 

    The film stars Vir Das, Gulshan Grover, Deepak Dobriyal, Kirti Kulhari and Yashpal Sharma, among others. The music has been composed by Sonu Niigam and Bickram Ghosh who debut as a music duo in Hindi films and has quirky fusion BGM from Ranjit Barot. The director, a veteran of TV commercials also makes his debut with this film. The film is being presented by Reliance Entertainment and produced by Jigsaw Pictures. 

    Jigsaw Pictures’ next feature production is a comic thriller set in Mumbai and Kerala, which they will start shooting in April 2014.
