Abhishek Bachchan is on high

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,April 23 2011]

B-town hunk Abhishek is machoing ‘Dhoom’ with his cop act once gain. The Bachchan junior is riding high on the rave reviews he’s received for his performance as the gritty police officer in Rohan Sippy’s ‘Dum Maaro Dum’.

Reveals a source, “Paid previews in Hyderabad had 100% occupancy and today Delhi multiplexes are packed…the film is picking up well.”

Rightly adding the “Dum” to the title - Abhishek with his portrayal of a no-nonsense inspector out to sweep Goa clean re-affirms yet again that he is here-to-stay-in -the-top rung status as an actor.

The film targeted at metro cities and the conventional multiplex audience courtesy the soundtrack and promos, but the collection trends tell a different story. First show at My Raipur cinema - Raj has opened multiple times bigger and better than any of the multiplexes and that too with ticket rates as low as Rs 50! The weekend promises seems to be better.

Akshay Rathi, distributor from Raipur adds, “I'm delighted to see the audience clap, whistle and cheer for Abhishek's cracker dialogues and the title track!

Adds trade analyst Amod Mehra, “A very powerful performance…Abhishek’s best till date…even better than Yuva.” The star who seems to have his way with both masses and the classes is one of the finest actor’s of his generation and there’s no doubt about that.

Having proved his mettle with Yuva and Sarkar, Abhishek went on to deliver big hits like ‘Dhoom’ and ‘Bunty Aur Bubli’ and proved that he was here to stay with ‘Guru’ and ‘Paa’.

Says a source, “Amitabh Bachchan made his mark with his iconic character of inspector Vijay and with Inspector A.C Kamat Abhishek has proved that he’s got the charisma, the swagger and the talent and is here for a long time to come. Stealing the show, he walks away with the film – one of his finest performances till date – Abhishek adds the Dum to Dum Maro Dum.”
