Rains throws spanner in dream Bollywood run

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,July 06 2006]

What goes up comes down!

With back to back successes in the form of 'Fanaa', 'Krrish' and 'Phir Hera Pheri', Bollywood couldn't have been more elated. Since Mumbai always brings the maximum moolah for the films, the scenario was repeated for these three films as well. But rain Gods had other plans in mind as it has been raining incessantly for last few days in Mumbai. In fact it won't be wrong to say that most of the current Bollywood week [i.e. Friday to Thursday] has been washed away in rain, hence bringing the collections down drastically.

Though this may not make much difference to 'Fanaa' and 'Phir Hera Pheri', both of which have already earned a superhit status for them, the movie that seems to be impacted most is 'Krrish' that had a marvelous first week all over. Yes, the collections in rest of the parts of India shouldn't get much impacted but a loss of more than a crore in Mumbai alone is very much on the cards due to heavy rains!

Vishal Bharadwaj: Sinister Magnetism

It is merely incidental that he happens to be a terrific music composer. Vishal Bharadwaj is a man of many moods. He is simple, always smiling, has a karmic bond with good-ole-bard-of-yore William Shakespeare and likes to entertain in a mischievously sinister manner.
