    Sequel to ‘The Xpose’ to hit screens on 29 May

    MUMBAI: After the success of The Xpose, Himesh Reshammiya will now be starring in the sequel of the movie. According to distributor Anil Thadani, The Xpose  which was made at a budget of Rs 9 crore, with promotions on print and advertising costing Rs 6 crore has done a net business of Rs 22.77 crore  in three weeks.

     

    The sequel to The Xpose which will release on 29 May 2015 is set in the era of the romantic superstar Rajesh Khanna, when hundreds of girls committed suicide as the news of the romantic superstar deciding to get married broke. But then there was one such girl who was murdered in the name of suicide. Himesh’s character will be taken forward in the sequel who plays superstar Ravi Kumar (inspired by Raaj Kumaar) solving the mystery.

     

    One big name from the industry will be seen in a special appearance, playing Rajesh Khanna. The movie will have four big supporting artists and two heroines. The other cast and credits will be announced shortly.

     

    “The director will also be announced soon as there are currently differences between HR MUSIK and Ananth Mahadevan on his price. Mahadevan wants a price hike,” says creative producer Rakesh Upadhyay.

     

    Himesh says, “I am truly excited for the sequel and happy for my dad Vipin Reshammiya that I have given him a hit franchise as he is the official producer of the film. Ravi Kumaar’s character has been appreciated universally by critics as well as the audiences, The quirkiness in his dialogues are a highlight, the sequel will be a landmark with regards to a very big musical thriller, grand visuals, thrills and dialogues in the correct budget and explore the stunning truth of the 70s Bollywood.”

     

    The shooting for the movie will commence from 7 December 2014 and will conclude on 7 February 2015.  The music will be launched on 3 April 2015, with the movie releasing on 29 May 2015. 

  • A dark week for ‘Citylights’ at BO

    A dark week for ‘Citylights’ at BO

    MUMBAI: This was a bad week for the exhibitors, especially with multiplexes having more than one screen to fill. Remake of Manila Metro, Citylights, a gross injustice to a Charles Chaplin’s film title, turns out to be a pretentious film with little to do with the life of migrants in Mumbai. A purportedly black film that is aimed at awards, proves to be poor at box office. It collects a meagre Rs 3.25 crore, despite the actor director pair winning the National Awards last year; another reminder that the National Awards mean nothing to the ticket buying audience.

     

    A colloquially titled Delhi flavoured film, Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi faces the same fate as its title, whatever it means. Film ‘thand’ ho gayi! The collections with the figures of Rs 1.55 crore for the opening weekend take it nowhere.

     

    Tiger Shroff has always been in media despite not being in films, thanks to his father, Jackie Shroff’s goodwill. Also thanks to this goodwill, the film with average content and shoddy handling,  Tiger’s debut film,  Heropanti, not only takes a healthy weekend but also goes on to take a respectable first week of Rs 35.9 crore. The film has continued to do well into its second weekend as well.

     

    Kochadaiiyan has managed to collect just about Rs 1.65 crore in its first week.

     

    The Xpose has added Rs 50 lakh in its second week to take its total to Rs 12.85 crore. Hawaa Hawaai has added Rs 55 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 8.5 crore.

     

    2 States has added Rs 80 lakh in its sixth week to take its six week total to Rs 103.75 crore.

  • Heropanti creates a bang at the BO

    Heropanti creates a bang at the BO

    MUMBAI: Tiger Shroff, with his mastery over action and dance, has carried his debut film, Heropanti, on his shoulders with the collections maintaining evenly through its opening weekend to collect Rs 21 crore.

     

    Rajnikant may be a media star but his films found no takers in the Hindi belt. Kochadaiiyan, his latest, part animated film, meets with poor response with shows being cancelled due to lack of audience at many places.

     

    The Children Of War has managed to collect about Rs 70 lakh in its first week.

     

    Much promoted, Himesh Reshammiya’s The Xpose ends its first week with figures of Rs 12.35 crore which just about marks the end of its recovery.

     

    Hawaa Hawaai is steady in its second week. The film collects Rs 1.9 crore for its second week taking its two week total to Rs 7.95 crore.

     

    2 States is holding well in its fifth week. The film has added Rs 2.75 crore in its fifth week taking its five week total to Rs 102.95 crore.
