  • I wanted this film to be a flop. Sajid Khan was extremely over-confident about this film. He even said in an interview with Rajeev Masand that this will be Ajay’s biggest hit and in the top 3 Blockbusters of the year. Chutiya kahi kaa!

  • audience just fade up with crap masala films..all masala actors are in danger zone now..but i wish only chennai express will do blockbuster business.

  • people r fed up of masala entertainers nw.. first khiladi 786 n nw himmatwala.. dabang 2 collected huge bt much more was expected from dabang2.. nw i thn the biggest casualty will be chennai xpress..

  • I think both are the causes. It was badly made and audiences are tiring of masala. As dabangg 2 was expected to do 200+ crore but collected 150+ crore only due to stardom af salman. Akki’s k-786 was expected 110+ byt it did 70 crore. Now himmatwala’s situation is also same. Film barfi took 8 cr opening and collecte d 106 cr and omg took 3.8 cr opening and collected around 90 cr. So it means now audiences are liking good films. Hope same thing happen on eid. Ouatim2(realastic crime darama action) win over CE(masala).

  • I think audience is not fed up with action-masala movies. Even if masala entertainers come with a fair storyline, they will surely succeed. For example Dabangg, Agneepath and Rowdy Rathore have a fair story and big star value attached to them, so they have become huge box office successes. Remaking Himmatwala was itself a bad idea. The old movie was released during worst era. However it was according to taste of audience, that’s why it was a big hit. Sajid Khan remaked it by overlooking the fact that we have moved on three decades. Happy that movie flopped for Sajid’s stupidly over-confidence but sad for a wonderful actor like Ajay has been wasted in the movie.

  • Poorly made film for sure… !
    Does Sajid feel we r fools??
    Startin from ajay’s entry till the last fight scene it was massive crap!

    Wat was d need to bring 1980’s in most of the dialogs? wat was d need to tel ppl to clap for ajays dialogs?? it simply proves the jokes were lame!

    Farah made this mistake with Tees maar khan and Joker. Nw Sajid!! God wat s wrong with these ppl… they are takin us for granted!

    Gud he has announced he s not makin Housefull 3..;)

  • Dear @indicine its proof superstar!! Kyun k superstar ki disaster movie bhe average tak jati hai…
    Ajay ne Srk se compete karnay ki koshish ki.. Us bum pe laat par gai,
    Akshay ne Mnik k muqablay me Tmk bnay wo bhe flop hogai.
    I want to say they can b star but can’t b lyk khans

  • I loved the movie ajay is very good in acting..paresh rawals is also very good . Tamannah looked very cute .songs are very nicely done..dont know what went wrong…but i hope collections ll pick up again from second weekend..indicine because of exams collections fallen or any other reason you know..

  • No himmatwala was very poorly made film it is easily one of the worst film of decade.there are many masala films which done record breaking business like dabangg2 or rowdy rathore.i think masala should made in good manner which appeal to youngster.

  • I don’t think the audience is tired of masala entertainers. It may be because the story & the jokes are not convincing or funny enough. In addition if someone like Salman was the hero in the movie, at least it would have managed to become a hit. Ajay himself is not a bankable star.

  • @king kumar chennai express is not a massala film like sallu films, it a romantic journey of a north indian man and south indian women travel in chennai express after that they fall in love, its a love story in a comic way with car sequence and action like a rohit shetty films. At the story line ce looks a good entertaining film and ouatinm2 is real story based on the shoheb khan played by the emran hasmi last part. I wish both film doing well at bo but for the star power of srk no doubt in oversease ce will be the blockbuster but i wish ce become blockbuster in india too. Srk is the king of bollywood, sultun of bollywood in 20years.

  • No genre of films become tiring. Just because you had a flop or two doesn’t mean masala films are out.

    All genre, whether drama, action, love story etc., flops once ina while. but if you have a decent script and a good star cast that pulls audience, the movie is a sure shot blockbuster no matter what genre.

  • there r many factors involved.. yes the movie was poorly made but had the movie had any of the khan trio it would have been a hit.. my point is that people like ajay devgn n akshay kumar do not have the same kind of superstardom like the khans especially srk n salman.. they r in their own league n r unmatched.. that is the reason i dont agree with their superstar status.. as far as ajay devgan is concerned he is best suited to doing intense roles n akshay kumar in comic roles.. they look awkward in any other genre.. only the khans can excel in all the genres

  • we love masala movie but not so bad movie like himatwala is disaster…..ajay is another disaster actor..without multistar rohit shetty he has no hit in his bag as solo hit in his 20+ career…

  • Ofcourse its a poorly made film. himmatwala has nice background music but sajid spoiled it with bad script. Next turn is salman’s. Salman is the only superstar who make low budget movie to earn blockbuster status. Even ajay’s SOS and himmatwala’s bbudget is higher than salman’s most expensive movie ek tha tiger. Remake+ masala+ low budget+ low runnning time which get more shows. That’s why salman’s movie never have quality. Actors shud see film as both art and business, but fot salman movies is just abt business.

  • The shah Rukh Khan is good in the comedy? ? ? Call this movie! It in everywhere – the clown, and the bad clown. In JTHJ I hated episodes when the Shah after amnesia – again these idiotic grimaces, I can’t already see it! ! ! ! ! ! !

  • bollywood:only the khans can excel in all the genres
    this is the biggest joke,can ur khans do comedy like akki,can ur khans do action like akki
    aakash,sallu meri jaan
    ur khans r just media created super stars
    akshays rr is the still biggest grosser for nonholiday release of altime

  • I knew my film will be a hit when I started writing it.” this is sajid khan’s statement few days back. he is real nonsense fellow like his sister Farah khan, both are oversmart and over confident abt their creativity frankly speakin they even have 1 % creativitry, both just doin remake or stole the theme of other movie,
    its really worst movie i ever seen …………sajid khan is having no talent he always make remake movie like heyy baby and now himmatwala ……………sajid and farah they are always cheat the audience by der stupid movie……………both are waste fellow

  • @boss – akshay kumar has only 1 solo blockbuster in a career span of over 20 years.. he has no ATBB.. on what basis is he a superstar??.. the same goes with ajay devgn

  • Sajid’s Himmathwala was a crap film. Biggest disaster of the year. Sajid is a bad director. his 2 films were only hit due to publicity and present of multi stars in it. Chennai express will also going to be flop.
