Rangoon, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, went on floors yesterday at the Mehboob Studios in Mumbai. The film stars Shahid Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Kangana Ranaut in the lead.
Rangoon is said to be a vintage love story set in the backdrop of the Second World War that took place in the early 1940s.
Both Shahid and Saif have done extremely well under Vishal’s direction, giving their career best performances in movies like ‘Omkara’ and ‘Haider’.
Interestingly, Kareena’s ex-boyfriend (Shahid) and husband (Saif) are sharing screen space for the very first time. Not much is known about Saif’s role but it is being said that Shahid will play an Army officer and Kangana will play an actress from the 1940s.
The film is scheduled to end its shoot by March next year and the release date could fall in the second half of 2016. There are reports that Rangoon will be shot in quite a few exotic locations. The team is seeking permission to shoot a few scenes at the Burma border.
Meanwhile, the producer of the film, Sajid Nadiadwala also celebrated his wedding anniversary with a small cake cutting ceremony on the sets of the film. This is not the first time the producer began a film on his anniversary. The first scene of Salman Khan’s KICK was also shot on the same day in 2013.

For your kind information I am going to deliver a brilliant article
1.the box office storm came in the year of 1975 #SHOLAY which collected 15cr from box office
2.Then came after 15 years in 1989 MAINE PYAR KIYA & collected 14cr from box office but failed by 1 cr to beat the SHOLAY record
3.in 1994 finally after 25 yr the box office record of SHOLAY broken by the iconic movie HUM AAPKE HAIN KAUN & redefined the box office collection by collecting 70 cr from box office which is 5 times the previous highest grosser
4.Then came another iconic movie DDLJ in 1995 & collected 62 cr but failed to become the highest grosser of bollywood
5.Then raja hindustani in 1996 & collected 48cr became ATBB but failed beat above 2
6.Then came GADAR in 2001 & broke all previous record & set new record by collecting 75 cr & became highest bollywood grosser
7.the record of GADAR broken after 5 year in the year of 2006 by DHOOM2
8.Then in 2007 came OM SHANTI OM but can’t beat D2 & failed by 1 cr
9.& finally in the year for the 1st time the bollywood touched the 100 cr mark in 2008 by GHAJNI & became highest grosser
10. & then 1st 200 cr in the year 2009 by 3IDIOT & collected 202.5
11.in the year 2014 bollywood collected 1st 300 cr movie by PK
I am really sorry for the length of the article but this article clears that………
First biggest blockbuster of bollywood given by SALMAN KHAN & now which is followed by both SALMAN & AMIR & both have achieved 300 cr mark in today’s market
It clearly indicate that srk has not given a HIGHEST GROSSER BOLLYWOOD MOVIE in his career
So it clears that the past was dominated by SALMAN present is dominated by SALMAN & AMIR & future will be dominated by both of them
My article is for all of our sal_mir_ians
wil be better than kick too.
intrestingly saif n shahid…
both metro guys.. gud luking n chocklet boy kind of actors gt more sucess in potrayal of dark and negative characters… or action..
like omkara haidar kamine race 2 r.. rajkumar etc.
Another cult hit by Vishal releasing on Gandhi Jayanti after his Haider in 2013 and his production Talvaar released on 2nd October
Salman-King of Eid
Srk-King Of Diwali
Aamir-King of Christmas
Varun-King Of Ramdaan
Vishal is emerging as King of Gandhi Jayanti.
I hope it’ll be a Kangana Ranaut show, as all the others like Saif, Shahid, etc. need a hit very badly.
Who’s the girl holding Sajid’s hand and cutting the cake in the 2nd pic??
@Challa, Warda Sajid Nadiadwala. Who else would cut the ‘anniversary’ cake with him?
Bajrangi Bhaijaan: 181.14 Crore
Dhoom 3: 172.34 Crore
PK: 180.47 Crore
Happpy New year: 137.66 Crore
Kick: 153.54 Crore
PRDP: 153-154 Crore
dear haters PRDP BEATING HNY BOTH IN TRADE AND PRODUCER FIG.
@Salmir What about KKHH and the dozen of ATBB SRK has given in overseas and new benchmarks he created there when your favorite stars were struggling to give evn small hits
critically acclaimed movie, not for entertainment…..
Shahid will once again make a grand comeback with Rangoor just like he did with kaminey and Haider.It’s just sheer bad luck that he’s behind undeserving stars like Sid and Arjun
@Indicine I expected her to be a friend of Sajid..she should try her hand in Bollywood she’s very pretty:)
Last movies for all 3:
Saif : Phantom : Flop
Shahid : Shaandar : Disaster
Kangana : Katti Batti : Flop
Shahid is bigger than arjunK… Even emran hasmi is bigger than arjunK …..!!….
Rangoon has a budget more than all the previous Vishal Bhardwaj’s films combined!!
And it is not a massy film,it’s a niche film and stars Shahid n Saif who are struggling…
Even though,I am waiting for this film as a movie lover but I am skeptical about its chances at bo.
Are we going to have another Bombay Velvet??
bombay velvet 2
@babaji no v r gonna have another Joker
@indicine can you give me a clarification what is the difference between your box office collection & box office India collection because both of you produce same occupancy same ticket prices then why is this figure difference which collection we should follow a honorable request please clarify
may be another BO Dud because This wl be costliest Vishal Sir’s Film i think!! and This wl nt hv any mass appeal or any Big star to attract audiences!! and If This 1 also fails to collect much in BO ; then The career of “Supremely Talented” Shahid Kapoor will be in ICU!!!
so in short The Career of “Supremely Talented” SK is in Vishal Sir’s Hand once again as always!!!
i hope rangoon is something like pearl harbour kind of movie..
@SALMIR- Enjoy the good movies of ur fav n other stars, please don’t care about these box office collections. The stars, directors, cinema hall owners, distributors , producers are making ample money for them to continue in the movie business.
It’s only we, who are paying our valuable time, attention n money.
10 years after, ppl will still love to watch good films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan without thinking how much money it made.
Also, Indicine has mentioned many times that these collections posted by sites by BOI.com n others are just ROUGH ESTIMATES, which cannot be taken seriously, its just a yardstick to measure success of a movie.
saif and shahid will rock..kangana i dont think she is that good to outscore them both even if they are struggling these days.
Stop talking about box-office numbers, who cares about commercial success when we talk about art ? This isn’t a shitty blockbuster like PRDP, this is a Vishal Bhardwaj movie ! The guy directed Maqbool, Omkara, Kaminey, 7 Khoon Maaf and Haider…he is a pure genius ! Indian cinema need artists like him, not film makers that just want money.
Rangoon will be another cult classic of vishal sir. Hope it will do excellent business at b.o too.
