Varun Dhawan’s Badrinath Ki Dulhania is proving to be unstoppable at the box office. Inspite of competition from new films like the Hollywood release ‘Beauty and The Beast’ and other Hindi films like Machine, Trapped and Aagaya Hero – Badrinath Ki Dulhania managed to collect more than all the other films combined on its second Friday.
Excel Entertainment has announced the release date of their film ‘Fukrey Returns’, sequel to their 2013 film ‘Fukrey’. It will hit theatres in the last month of the year. “The jugaadu boys are back to bring some Fukrapanti in your lives. #FukreyReturns on 8th December,” along with the first look” the official Twitter handle announced.
Govinda’s much-delayed film ‘Aagaya Hero’ has received poor reviews too. The box office opening is extremely dull too and the film will fall below the 1 crore mark on Day 1 unless there’s a turnaround in the night shows. Too many films in the same week, with last week’s release Badrinath Ki Dulhania still going strong. [mks_button size=”medium” title=”Average Rating of All ‘Aagaya Hero ‘ Review – 1 stars” style=”rounded” bg_color=”#1e73be” txt_color=”#FFFFFF” icon=”” icon_type=””] Aagaya Hero Review by Mihir Bhanage on The Times Of India Rating: As is expected from a Govinda movie, there are song and dance sequences, over-the-top dialogues and the likes. But in Aa Gaya Hero, he tries to eclipse all the mindless comedies of the 90’s while doing a supposedly serious role, dressed in track suits and tuxedos. There are actors like Ashutosh Rana, Milind Shinde, Makarand Deshpande and Murli Sharma who are completely wasted. The film is full of inconsequential comedy that goes on for two hours and if you survive by the end of it, a ‘Finisher’ trophy is the least the makers can give you. Aagaya Hero Review by Rohit Vats on Hindustan Times Rating: Tacky visual effects seem straight out of 90s television show Shaktimaan sans Mukesh Khanna’s charm. Probably budget was an issue, so every time a bad guy falls on the walls, the whole frame shakes. Govinda’s old friends such as Chandrachur Singh and Harish return after long, and contribute their share of hamming. It’s really hard to understand why Govinda was so desperate to do this film. It feels bad to rate two films zero in the same week (Abbas-Mustan’s Machine), but then you’re left with no option when you see even the hall attendants yawning. Aagaya Hero Review by Manisha Lakhe on Nowrunning Rating: Aa Gaya Hero is a story of a policeman who makes an elaborate plan to trap the assorted bad guys by closing all loopholes they usually employ to escape justice. The whole thing is handled so badly, the songs and dances are a relief from the strangest goings on. Aagaya Hero Review by Sreeju Sudhakaran on Bollywood Life Rating: Forgotten actors like Chandrachur Singh and Harish are cast for no reason, and I am feeling really bad for talented performers like Ashutosh Rana, Makarand Deshpande, Murli Sharma for agreeing to be a part of this farce and make a mockery out of themselves. And I am pretty sure the names they mentioned under the screenplay, editing and direction credits are as real as the Loch Ness monster. Aagaya Hero Review by Syed Firdaus Ashraf on Rediff Rating: Actually, it won’t even work if he plays the typical ‘Bollywood’ honest cop, as he does in his ‘comeback’ venture, Aa Gaya Hero. Even if he is not, thankfully, wooing a heroine half his age. Even if his dances as wonderful as ever. The fact is: He is 53. He is NO LONGER young. His skin is sagging. The flab is showing. What he is, is a fantastic actor. And if he wants to give Bollywood’s filmmakers a wake up call, he needs to do a film that showcases his acting talent. And Sirji, in order to do that, you need a good script. Not trash that masquerades as a film. Till then, it’s better to bid the idea of a ‘comeback’ goodbye. Review by Sonil Dedhia on Mid-Day India Rating: What’s more, Govinda seems to be competing with Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan (Messenger of God) for a record on bagging maximum credits — producer, story, screenplay and dialogues. And mind you, at 53, he can still charm you with that million-watt smile, funky dance moves and his colorful costumes, but that’s not enough to pull off a film anymore. Once deemed a hero of the masses, an entire generation has grown up watching his brand of comedy, but it is unfortunate to see the legend making a mockery of himself in this one. I’d rather suggest watching the re-run of his ’90s movies. Review by Kunal Guha on Mumbai Mirror Rating: It is upsetting to see Govinda here. With an enviable filmography, one wants to remember him as the ‘Number 1’ star whose memorable one-liners and dance numbers can’t be replicated by any contemporary actor. The film also stars Murli Sharma, Ashutosh Rana and a range of retired villains. The film’s modest budget doesn’t keep them from realising their grand vision. One of the master villains has a foldable airplane which slides into his evil lair — inside a mountain which swishes open like a PowerPoint slide. Review by Vishal Verma on Glamsham Rating: Govinda is associated with buffoonery and it’s fun but here things get so overboard that Govinda starts dancing after every 10-15 minutes so that we forget what has happened just before but the dil of entertainment hungry souls of Bollywood wanted so much more from this talent who promised a revival in PARTNER and still we are waiting. Review by IANS on Zeenews Rating: The film feels like a Z-grade film of the early 1980s. Packed with numerous characters hamming while mouthing inane lines is saying the least. Joining Govinda in this jamboree are Ashutosh Rana and Murali Sharma as brothers and local goons, Makrand Deshpande as the spineless MLA, Surendra Pal as a politician, Harish Kumar and Chandrachur Singh as inspectors along with Poonam Pandey and Richa Sharma as their colleagues in disguise.

Q. How true it is that Shahid kapoor doing another movie with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after Padmavati? A. Not true. Q. Maximum potential of Bollywood movies on a single day? A. The maximum potential could be as high as 60 crore on a single day, if all 4500-odd Hindi screen across the country were running to full occupancy. It all depends on the star cast, scale of the film and release period. The introduction of GST from July this year will also have a positive impact on film business. It could give net collections a boost of around 5-10%. So we could have films crossing the 50 crore mark on a single day by the end of this year, or next year. The Diwali day remains the best day for film business, but the two South releases this year – Baahubali 2 and Robot 2.0 will easily surpass the highest single day collections of Hindi films. Q. How much will IPL affect Bahubaali collections? A. Not much. The impact of IPL has reduced in the last few years. It’s insignificant now. People will find time to watch Baahubali 2. Q. Why is Hrithik taking a lot of time to sign a movie ? Is he keen to work with big directors or waiting for a good script. A. The wait is always for a good script, but good script sense is a different thing altogether. Barring Kaabil, he hasn’t made right choices in recent times even though he took 2 years for Bang Bang and the same amount of time for Mohenjo Daro. The results, especially with the Ashutosh Gowarikar film, were under whelming to say the least. It isn’t about big directors either, because both Siddharth Anand and Sanjay Gupta have a poor filmography. We don’t really know what his thought process is, but he should either be doing more films or outstanding films if he wants to take 2 years per film. But again, the pace at which he wants to work and the kind of films that he wants to do, is his personal choice. Q. What’s your expectation about SRK Imitiaz film? How much it can earn in 5days weekend? A. A big opening is a foregone conclusion, because SRK films always open well. The box office expectation for the extended weekend would depend on the trailer and music. Currently, we are looking at 110-120 crore in the first 5-day weekend. Q. According to your collections, Hrithik last 5 films is Agneepath-122,Krrish 3-196,Bang Bang-148,Mohenjodaro-60 and Kaabil-104. I agree this is not excellent collections but still it’s not that bad considering last 3 films clashed with big films. What’s your thought on this? A. The collections, barring Mohenjo Daro, are good. Even Mohenjo Daro was maybe at around the same range as FAN, after negating the disadvantage of clash with Rustom. So the collections aren’t bad at all and even his rejected films are getting to 60 crore, but the problem right now seems to be the promos. Mohenjo Daro had some of the worst promos in recent times, due to which not many were interested in watching the film. The same was the case with Kaabil, the promos did not generate any interest at all, but word-of-mouth saved the film. Q. When will Rajkumar Hirani direct Shahrukh Khan in the movie? A. It may never happen. SRK was the first choice both for Munnabhai MBBS and 3 Idiots. So if he had done those movies, he would’ve probably played the lead in all Hirani movies so far. It’s a missed opportunity, especially 3 Idiots. It would’ve been a career defining film for him, maybe even bigger than a DDLJ. Q. Any idea about the character of SRK in Tubelight? A. It’s a small role. No details yet, except that his character is named ‘Gogo Pasha’. Q. Should Varun Dhawan do Dishoom 2 as the film got great TRPs? A. We don’t think he will. Even though the film got good television ratings for the premiere, it didn’t really find acceptance at the box office. Dishoom 2 might work, but it’s always risky when the first film isn’t loved. Q. What is your opinion on SRK being called as the world’s biggest movie star and the most popular star by CNN, BBC, Los Angeles Times, Forbes etc..? A. He is by far the most recognised Hindi film star in the world – especially among non-Indians. It doesn’t really need to reflect in the box office collections, Amitabh Bachchan films don’t open well, that doesn’t mean he isn’t one of the the biggest names in the industry. Q. A very important Inquiry ; Was Maine Pyar Kiya All Time Grosser?? A. Yes. Q. What is the worldwide collections of Jolly LLB 2, Rustom, Housefull 3 and Airlift. A. Approximate numbers – Jolly LLB 2 190 crore, Rustom 215 crore, Housefull 3 198 crore, Airlift 215 crore. Q. Is Ode to my Father happening? Which movie will come on Eid 18 as Remo said that they are still writing the Script? A. Salman is supposed to start Remo D’Souza film after he completes shooting for Tiger Zinda Hai. Q. What are your predictions for Padman? A. It’s a bold subject the makers have chosen, especially for a film featuring a major star like Akshay Kumar. A lot would depend on the treatment. It may not be a huge grosser, we think it’ll be a word-of-mouth film. A 9-10 crore opening, rest depends on content. [advert] Q. Hi Indicine. I visit your site most often and always read this Q&A session but asking a question for the first time. What do you exactly mean when you say a film is made on a large scale and what are the top 3 Indian films based on scale? A. When we talk about scale, it’s about the presentation of a film. Big sets, high production values etc. All of this also means bigger budget. The most expensive films are Dhoom 3 and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Padmavati is expected to beat both. Q. Can Bahubaali : The conclusion open with 30+ ( Hindi Belt ) as buzz is never seen b4 nd there are not any big films coming ? A. A detailed analysis of Baahubali: The Conclusion is coming up. The interest is huge. The first film opened at 5.75 crore, the pre-release buzz for this is several times bigger. We expect it to open 20 crore plus.

In less than 5 years since her debut, Alia Bhatt has established herself as not only a popular star but also one of the best actresses in the industry today. A film like ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ has come at the right time for her career too. Almost all her previous films were targeted mostly at the urban section of the audience, but ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ is her first film that should extend her fan-base into smaller cities and towns of the country.
With the success of ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, Varun Dhawan extends his incredible run at the box office. The actor now has 8 back-to-back successful films, starting from the beginning of his career in 2012 to his latest release. In other words, the producers of his films have never lost money, which is a pretty big deal at the very beginning of a career. In fact, his biggest commercial disappointment was a big film like ‘Dilwale’ where the responsibility of the film’s success was on the shoulders of a much bigger star.
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has begun shooting for yet another film, ‘Pad Man’, which will be the first production of his wife Twinkle Khanna. The film will be directed by R.

Aamir Khan, one of the sharpest minds in the industry, turns 52 today. Calling someone like him a superstar, doesn’t do justice to the phenomenon that he has become today. When audience line-up to buy tickets of an Aamir Khan film, they do it for several reasons. One, more often than not his films guarantee a uniquely different experience. Two, they trust his latest film isn’t going to disappoint, inspite of the immensely high expectations they carry.
