Pehle 'Barsaat', Phir 'Rain'
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,July 29 2005]
It has happened before and it may happen again!
Bollywood has been famous for throwing challenges on their very own contemporaries whenever an opportunity arrives. Especially so when the name/theme of the two movies are similar.
We are talking about instances such as namesake 'Khalnayak and 'Khanaika' releasing on the same day. Or 'The Legend Of Bhagat Singh' and '1931 Shahid' with the same subject hitting the marquee together.
And most recently 'Naina' and 'Nazar', both of which were namesake and even had the same inspiration - 'The Eye'.
History may repeat on 19th August too when Bobby Deol, Lara Dutta, Priyanka Chopra starrer 'Barsaat' releases. Because along with it [or probably a week later] comes Meghna Naidu - Himanshu Malik starrer 'Rain' that's just an English translation of 'Barsaat'.
Guess how would Mumbaikars react to two 'rainy' movies coming around the same time after neck-deep rains this week?
