  • Tanishq gives #GiftFullOfLove

    MUMBAI: For Valentine’s Day, Tanishq and 22feet Tribal Worldwide are back with the heartwarming film which beckons the viewers to give a #GiftFullOfLove to the person you love. Not because it’s a day to celebrate ‘love’, but because you love them.

    The film looks at Valentine’s Day as not just an occasion to celebrate love between two spouses but as an occasion to celebrate love in all forms and relationships. It explores various relationships a person has in their lifetime and how Valentine’s Day is a celebration of all of them. An older couple, a recently married couple, two sisters, father and daughter, all of them come together to celebrate this day of love with Tanishq- a Gift Full of Love.

    The background monologue states how love is not bound by age or marital status; that one can choose their own Valentine or be their own Valentine! The act of gifting should be filled with love irrespective of one’s choice. All this while cleverly showcasing Tanishq’s various branch outlets across the country.

    This film simply serves as an unusual take on one of the many simple truths of life and breaks the clutter for the brand. It has received an overwhelming response from the brand’s social followers, resulting in over 111K views and 337 shares on Facebook alone since the film’s released on 8 Feb 2017.

    Titan Jewellery Division marketing head Deepika Tiwari said, “Valentine’s Day has a very clichéd interpretation in the minds of the people. Whereas it can be a day to be celebrated with anyone you love. And that’s exactly the manner in which Tanishq has looked at it. Including all the possible relationships that can be your Valentine.”

    22feet Tribal Worldwide business development lead Ramraaj Raghunathan added, “Tanishq has always been passionate about exploring and celebrating the bonds that connect people. Our products symbolize love, trust and commitment. Though this web film on Valentine’s Day, we hope to encapsulate love in all its forms and celebrate it with all of customers.”

  • Special 26, ABCD hit the right notes at the BO

    Special 26, ABCD hit the right notes at the BO

    MUMBAI: Akhsay Kumar-starrer Special 26 opened slow on Friday but as the word of mouth spread, the film started picking up from Friday evening itself and went on to consolidate over the weekend. The film‘s performance is at its best at premium multiplexes.

    The film‘s cost for Indian theatrical rights is about Rs 320 to 340 million and should face no problems making it. The film has been appreciated for all round performances by the artistes as well as for its climax. The film collected Rs 265 million for its first weekend. Some extra benefit is expected on Valentine‘s Day.

    Remo D‘souza‘s ABCD: Any Body Can Dance with no stars on the billboards had an excellent opening, in fact better opening response than the star cast film Special 26. ABCD has greatly drawn the youth and its choreography has been much liked by the youth. The film had a wonderful weekend and collected Rs 184 million for its first three days. The film should get a major boost on the Valentine‘s Day.

    David with Neil Nitin Mukesh in the lead continued to do poor collecting a mere Rs 35 million for its first week with as much as Rs 15.8 million coming from the Bombay Circuit.

    Mira Nair‘s much talked about Midnight‘s Children has been rejected by moviegoers. No amount of controversies and staying in the news has helped the film which collected just Rs 12.5 million to show for its first seven days.

    Vishal Bharadwaj‘s Matru Ki BIjlee Ka has added Rs 1.2 million to its collections in its fourth week taking its tally to Rs 393.7 million.

  • The Vow, Safe House take spot spot at box-office

    The Vow, Safe House take spot spot at box-office

    MUMBAI: Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum Valentine‘s Day romantic drama The Vow opened to a sizable $41.7 million followed closely by the Denzel Washington-Ryan Reynolds action-thriller Safe House with $39.3 million.

    The Vow, directed by Michael Stucsy and costing $30 million to produce, opened in 20 markets overseas, grossing $9.7 million for a worldwide opening take of $52.4 million.

    One advantage Safe House had was an A- CinemaScore, versus a B CinemaScore for The Vow. Safe House played far better than expected among females, who made up 50 percent of the audience.

    The films vastly over-performed, driving the weekend up more than 30 per cent from the same period last year. In the best showing for a non-holiday weekend in February, the overall revenue hit a staggering $190 million.

    The superb opening of The Vow and Universal‘s Safe House wasn‘t the only surprise. Warner Bros. and New Line‘s Journey 2: The Mysterious Island raced past 20th Century Fox’s 3D rerelease of George Lucas’ Star Wars: Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace to gross $27.6 million while Phantom Menace opened to $23 million.

    This is the first time four films, outside of a holiday weekend, have crossed $20 million. In 2011, domestic box-office revenue tumbled and attendance slipped. On the same day last year, revenue went north by more than 11 per cent compared to last year while attendance has increased by 11 per cent.

    The revenue incurred by Journey 2 was evidenced by the fact that it was up an astonishing 94 percent on Saturday, compared to 9 per cent for The Vow and 19 per cent for Safe House.

    Journey 2 did big business in Imax theaters that generated $3.8 million of the film‘s gross, or 14 percent, according to IMAX senior vp worldwide distribution Phil Groves.
