    Box Office: Housefull 3 does well amidst other disastrous releases

    MUMBAI: Te3n opens to a poor response only to do a little well over the weekend to drop again as the new week begins. The film, which opened weak, improved marginally on Saturday and Sunday to end its opening weekend withRs 10.7 crore. The Monday drop being inevitable, the prospects are not bright.

    *Do Lafzon Ki Kahani is poor and fails to draw the audience. While Randeep Hooda is accepted in certain characters, accepting him playing a romantic hero is rather asking for too much. To add to that, he and Kajal Agarwal make no chemistry. This love story spells disaster. The film collected a poor Rs 2.2 crore for its opening weekend.

    *Houseful 3 did very well to end its first week with an impressive Rs 80.4 crore. The film has also been maintaining well during its second weekend and promises to emerge a safe project.

    *Waiting collects Rs 50 lakh in its second week to take its two week tally to Rs 2.4 crore.

    *Phobia collects Rs 10 lakh in its second week to take its two week total to Rs 3.05 crore.

    *Sarbjit adds Rs 90 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to Rs 26.95 crore.

    *Project Marathwada, Veerappan and Fredrick prove total loss adventures.

    Poor show by new releases

    Of the three new releases last Friday, Waiting happened to be the one people looked forward to thanks to Naseeruddin Shah in the lead. Alas, the box office collections did not show any appreciation in Shah and the film remained a very limited grosser barely managing to cross the Rscrore mark in its opening weekend. It collected Rs1.3 crore.

    Phobia, a less publicized film blending horror with Agoraphobia, stayed poor. It managed just about Rs1.4 crore for its opening weekend.

    Veerappan, an outdated story about the sandalwood mafia run by Veerappan in the jungles of Mysore, finds some footfalls at single screens. The film has collectedRs4.75 crore for its first weekend.

    Fredrick passed unnoticed.

    Sarbjit has not been able to make a mark with an inconclusive account of the life of an Indian in a Pakistani jail. There was not much relevance of the story for the moviegoer. The film has collected Rs19.4 crore in its first week.

    Azhar has added Rs2.7 crore in its second week to take its two week total to Rs31.65 crore.
    1920 London has collected Rs40 lakh in its third week to take its three week tally to Rs14.6 crore.

    *Traffic has collected 20 lakh in its third week to take its three week total to 3.7 crore.
    Baaghi has added Rs45 lakh in fourth week to take its four week tally to Rs78.05 crore.

    The Jungle Book continues its stronghold on the box office. The film has added Rs2.7 crore in its seventh week taking its seven week tally to Rs182.65 crore.

  • Court restrains films on Veerappan from screening

    Court restrains films on Veerappan from screening

    MUMBAI: A Tamil and a Kannada film based on the slain forest brigand Veerappan has been restrained from screening by the City Civil Court in Chennai.

    This follows an application by Tamil bi-weekly Nakheeran editor Gopal about his role in both the Tamil and the Kannada versions of the film titled Vana Yuddham and Attagasam respectively. The XVII Assistant Judge of the City Civil Court granted the interim injunction till 17 April.

    The editor submitted that he had come across a news item that the films on the life of Veerappan, who was shot dead by the Tamil Nadu Special Task Force in October 2004, had been made by AMR Ramesh of Bangalore and two other producers. Contending that the films were scheduled for release in the first week of May, Gopal claimed that he had made five trips to the forest, where the sandalwood smuggler was in hiding, and due to his efforts the life of Kannada thespian late Rajkumar, who was kidnapped, was saved.

    He further contended that without his role, no film about the brigand‘s kidnappings, surrender talks and his way of life in the forest could be made.

    Stating that the producers had not contacted him for his version on the role he played as an emissary, Gopal alleged that according to reliable information, his image had been tarnished in the films that made him apprehensive that his character would be spoilt.

    The Judge said the petitioner had made out a prima facie case for grant of the injunction.

    Kannada film industry doyen Dr. Rajkumar is no more

    BANGALORE: A sad day indeed in the annals of the film industry, especially for the Kannada Film industry. The biggest and one of the first superstars of the Kannada Film industry has bid adieu. He was 77.

    Dr Rajkumar, who complained of breathlessness about a month ago, had been admitted to M S Ramaiah Hospital. He succumbed to a cardiac arrest today as per the initial reports that have come in. The thespian, a winner of the Padma Bhushan along with a host of other awards and citations has encouraged the use of Kannada language in the state.

    Though very well known in South India, he came to national light when he was kidnapped and kept in custody for 109 days by notorious sandal wood smuggler the late Veerappan in 2000.

    The city of Bangalore has literally come to a standstill, following the demise. Crowds have been thronging to his residence along with a number of top Bangalore based politicians.
