With Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey and No Problem having had to bite the dust, all eyes are now on the next big film, Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan. Due for release after two weeks, the
Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer is expected to pull the industry out of its depressing mood. For, all films released after Golmaal 3 shave bombed, causing huge losses to the industry.
Will Tees Maar Khan deliver? Only time will tell.
Suspect Actions
The poor initial of Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey last week and of Anees Bazmee’s No Problem and Yash Chopra’s Band Baaja Baaraat this week has shocked the trade. As far as KHJJS is concerned, it was difficult for it to complete even a week’s run in some cinemas and, therefore, it was pulled out of such cinemas mid-week. One doesn’t know what’s in store for this week’s poorly opened films. So, what is the matter? Have our writers and directors become so lackadaisical that they come up with shoddy films or is it that our producers are not bothered about the quality of their production ventures because money is easily available, whether from corporates or from the public? Whatever the reason, the trend is terrible and if corrective action is not taken on an urgent basis, the industry is in for more serious trouble.
