Three Horse Race This Friday….

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,November 09 2006]

Three movies are releasing this Friday. All of them are totally opposite to each other and with reasonable amount of publicity backing each one of them. The biggest of them is the family entertainer ‘Vivah directed by Sooraj Barjatya, the maker of huge hits like ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’ and ‘Hum Apke Hain Kaun’. Starring Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao, this journey from engagement to marriage is not carrying good reports. The biggest drawback is the lackluster music score by Ravindra Jain. Mr Barjatya has given family hits earlier but somehow the makers themselves don’t sound too confident about their own product which was evident at the recent Press Conference. Although I would want ‘Vivah’ to work, for Sooraj Barjatya comes across as an extremely amiable and sincere person, but I don’t think his film will work.

Percept Picture Company has started publicity for Tanveer Khan’s ‘Deadline’ rather late in the day. The date of release was announced rather abruptly and although the promos of this Konkona Sensharma, Irfan Khan, Sandhya Mridul and Rajit Kapoor film seem pacy-n-promising, the film hasn’t really created any buzz. The title ‘Deadline’ may go against the film and even the posters where Konkana’s face is superimposed on Irfan’s is confusing about the plot of the film. It shall not be taking a good opening and its biggest plus point is its low cost. If the word of mouth is good then it can make a jingling sound for the producer’s ears. But that once again is a big ‘If’.

Lastly, Mukta Arts’ comedy film ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ is one film that seems the only one that can do some magic at the ticket window. This Sangeeth Sivan (Remember he made the raunchy ‘Kya Kool Hain Hum’ stars Riteish Deshmukh (As a drag queen and more hilarious get-ups), Shreyas Talpade (red hot after imposter-act in ‘Dor’), Koena Mitra, Riya Sen and Celina Jaitley (Ample Oomph Quotient). It’s a comedy with club house numbers composed by Pritam. I would bet on this one….

Why don’t you guys tell us which film out of the three you would want to watch this weekend. And why!
