this week. From famous model aka cricket fan Poonam Pandey to star kid
Tanuj, all will try their luck. Then there is multi-starrer laugh riot
Bajate Raho.
Nasha: Poonam's big screen ticket is directed by Amit Saxena who
directed Bipasha Basu to voluptuous heights in Jism. Will Nasha work
the same jadoo and nasha for Poonam? The producers Aditya Bhatia and
Surinder Suneja of Ms Pandey's debut film Nasha are leaving no stone
unturned to generate renewed interest in her colourful personality.
Love U Soniyo: In comparison Rati Agnihotri's son Tanuj makes his debut but
he can't compete with Poonam Pandey in getting attention. After the
excessively- publicised debut of producer Kumar Taurani's son Girish
Kumar last week, Tanuj has wisely chosen to slip gently into the movie
business. Says Tanuj, "It's not an ideal situation for any of the nine
films. Speaking for my film Love U Soniyo we've tried to make a good
honest film and hopefully our film would stand out in the crowd." The
film also marks the debut of model and beauty queen Neha Hinge.
Issaq: Manish Tiwari's Issaq is a very promising take on Shakespeare's
Romeo & Juliet which stars Prateik (who is in desperate need of a
career resurrection) and debutante Amyra Dastur. It is the season of
love as the makers are hoping this goes the Raanjhanaa and Yeh Jawaani
Hai Deewani way...
Bajatey Raho: Eros International's big- ticket comedy with Bollywood's
own Laurel and Hardy Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey joining hands with
Tusshar Kapoor for a melee of masti. Adding to the mirth worth of the
comedy is costume designer- actress Dolly Ahluwalia who has discovered
a kind of stardom after Vicky Donor. Looks like a load of fun. This is
director Sushant Shah's third film with Vinay after Challo Dilli and
Dasvidaniya.
Buddha: A biopic with newcomer Abhishek Urade in the title role. New
director Praveen Damle is at the helm of this modestly budgeted
biopic.
Ek Bura Aadmi: New director Ishraq Shah's political drama Ek Bura
Aadmi, is a rough, rugged actioner set in the North Indian hinterland.
The film has an interesting cast that includes Arunodoy Singh and Kitu
Gidwani.
Oops-a-Daisy: Debutant director Jenner Jose's Oops-a-Daisy, has an
entirely new cast of unknowns. It takes guts to release something like
this on an over-crowded Friday.
Planes: The Pixar-Disney animation film Planes dubbed into Hindi with
Priyanka Chopra as the protagonist's voice, is also hitting theatres
this Friday.
Main Hoon Surya Singham 2: The dubbed Hindi version of the Tamil
Singham's sequel with Surya and Anushka Shetty should find takers
among those who love the Singham series. Hari directs.
To add to the woes of the clogged turnstiles this Friday, the new
edition of the global smash hit Wolverine franchise also hits theatres
this Friday. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh feels this overloaded Friday
spells disaster for the Indian box-office. "It is sheer hara-kiri.
Doesn't make any business sense. Why this hurry to release so many
films? Where are the theatres to accommodate so many films? How many
shows can each film get? Why act in haste and repent on Monday? When
will we learn from our mistakes?" Taran feels the average movie-goer
cannot accommodate so many films in his budget. He adds, "Does the
common man have the time, money or inclination to watch so many films?
And when films flop we blame everyone except ourselves."
