Bodyguard roars yet again!

The star power of Hot Bollywood celebrity Salman Khan just doesn’t seize to amaze. As if the stupendous opening and success of Wanted, Dabangg and Ready was not enough to rave about, the actor’s latest blockbuster Bodyguard just set another record of a different kind.


Thanks to an innovative contest, with lucky winners getting free Bodyguard T-shirts, ticket sales at a chain of theatres belonging to the Rathi Group of Cinemas peaked again, with shows starting to run houseful once more in its third week.

“It was producer Atul Agnihotri’s idea to hold a contest at our theatres and give out Bodyguard T-shirts to the winners,” revealed exhibitor Akshaye Rathi of Rathi Group of Cinemas. “This initiative worked magic and ticket sales zoomed at all our theatres,” he added.


Atul Agnihotri said, “I’ve known  Akshaye since Hello and he’s always ready to do innovative promotions at his cinema chain. When the idea of Bodyguard T-shirts became such a big hit once the cast and crew started wearing them, we thought it would be a cool concept to extend it to Akshaye’s properties. We did it from the heart and are glad the idea of the T-Shirts is a super hit.”


Meanwhile, Bodyguard’s fortunes continue to overwhelm the industry. The film, made at a budget of 60 crores, made history in Indian cinema by earning 22 crores on the first day of its release. What’s more! In just three weeks of the release, the movie has crossed Dabangg’s India box-office figure of 141 crores, and emerged India’s second biggest grosser of all time.

Bodyguard- Highest Opening Ever At The Box Office

This year’s Eid release Bodyguard, opened with the smashing response. The Salman Khan film on the first day with packed houses all over the country and trade analysts predicts that the collections to be in the range of 18-20 crore.


In the past we have seen Salman’s Dabangg earned 14.35 Crores while 3 Idiots were two biggest openings.   


Trade Expert Taran Adarsh says,“ Salman is something else now. I think the movie has earned almost `20 crore on day one and over the weekend, it will cross `85-90 crore.”


Komal Nahta is more conservative in his estimates and pegs the weekend collection at `65-70 crore. However, Nahta says the film has broken all international records too.


Nahta reveals, “In Dubai, the movie opened on Tuesday because that's when Eid was celebrated. While "Dabangg" had opened with 7 lakh dirhams (`87 lakh), "Bodyguard" made 11 lakh dirhams (`1.36 crore). In London, the movie opened with a collection of 60,000 pounds (`44.4 lakh) on Tuesday, which too is unheard of. It has broken all previous records for any Bollywood film.”


While analysts gives the credit to Salman for the massive collections, multiplex and single screen officials reveals about various strategies have come together to help the film.


Tinku Singh, group president, SRS group, says, “In NCR, we ran 53 shows in Faridabad, and 22 and 30 shows in Gurgaon and Indirapuram. The total collection on day one was `24 lakh. It is houseful across the country. After the "Aarakshan" fiasco, everyone's rejoicing with this movie. And the thing 


to remember here is that the movie opened on a Wednesday, so it will have five days, plus two more weekends at least, to make a lot more money.”


Also, "Boduguard" opened to weekend pricing across most multiplexes, giving them much more revenue. However, PVR Cinemas chose to go ahead with weekday pricing for Wednesday, and reported 95% occupancy in the morning shows, and 100% occupancy towards the evening. Out of 550 shows in PVR halls, approximately 325 were played in Delhi and Punjab. Says Deepa Menon, vice president, corporate communications for PVR Cinemas, "The movie saw an excellent opening in Delhi-NCR, ending the day with nearly 95% occupancy, which is quite phenomenal. This definitely is one of the biggest openings on day one that we've seen."

Even in single-screen theatres, the film has done record-breaking business in Delhi-NCR. While Vishal in Rajouri Garden reported a total of `4.5 lakh in four shows, all four shows were houseful in Delite, said Sunil Parashar, media coordinator for Dellite. Sheila Cinema in Paharganj too, saw four full shows, totalling a collection of over `3 lakh. Says Parashar, "During "Ready", ticket prices had been increased by 20% even in single-screen halls. But for "Bodyguard", even at normal single-screen prices, the movie has broken all records. Most single screens are houseful till Sunday."

Salman refuses to believe 'Bodyguard' is a success: Atul Agnihotri

Bollywood celebrity Salman Khan is recovering after an eight-hour surgery in Pittsburgh and refuses to believe that his 'Bodyguard' has broken box-office records, says his brother-in-law and co-producer Atul Agnihotri.

Salman, who underwent surgery for a nerve problem that was causing exruciating pain in his head, jaws and cheeks, believes his family is just trying to cheer him up by telling him that 'Bodyguard' is rocking the box office.

'He is not totally convinced. He is thinking that we are saying this to cheer him up. This is because he is totally cut off from his regular sources. If he had been in Mumbai, he would have had more interaction, seen more TV and read editorials. There he is totally depending on what we are saying,' Atul, who co-produced the film with Reliance.

'Bodyguard', which released on Eid Wednesday, has surpassed the opening day box-office collection of 'Dabangg' (Rs.14.5 crore) and '3 Idiots' (Rs.13 crore) by garnering Rs.22 crore in the domestic market.

Salman, 45, is expected to be home in 10 days. He is currently under observation, said Atul.

First, they did some test on him and then he was subjected to the first medical procedure. The surgery went for eight hours. Now he is under three-day observation. I think tomorrow night (Saturday) or day after (Sunday) morning they will review and go for the next step. He 

will be there for a week or 10 days more,? he said.

Atul is riding high on the unprecedented success of the Salman-Kareena Kapoor starrer action-drama, which has received overwhelming response from the audiences despite bad reviews.

We were expecting a good opening but the number has gone beyond our prediction. For us, before the release (of 'Bodyguard'), `Dabangg? was the benchmark. That we have surpassed, which is a great thing, he said.

The film is scoring high even in south despite being a Hindi remake of Malayalam film of the same name. It was also made in Tamil.

Even in Cochin where people have seen both its Tamil and Malayalam version, the film is doing extremely well. Till yesterday (Thursday) we had two theatres, today (Friday) we have opened up third screen so that?s an indicator of the reaction of the audience in south,? said the 41-year-old actor-director-producer.

Atul is expecting the box office collection to touch Rs.85 crore by this weekend.

As 31st was a holiday, we did a business of around Rs 21.57 crore, then yesterday (Thursday) we have touched about Rs.19 crore again. In that sense we have already done around Rs.41 crore and above, across India. Today is a Friday. In three days (including weekends) there is a possibility that we would cross Rs.80 to Rs.85 crore in India, said Atul.

Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande Continues To Attract Admirers

Parvin Dabas’s debut as writer-director current movie Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande was a stirring tale of a group of galat bandes finding their conscience and working for a big cause. Coming at a time that so many people in the country were engaging in a cause bigger than their individual selves, it was no surprise that the message of the movie resonated with the public. “Ours was a small film with a big message,” said Dabas. “The total budget including print and publicity was just 4 crore and despite the theatrical run having started slowly, it has remained steady with positive word of mouth and appreciative reviews.”

What Dabas is most gratified about is that his movie has added to the conversation in the country to issues of corruption and empowerment, issues and causes that he as a citizen completely supports. “Yes, there are a lot of pressing issues because of which some audience members might not have been in the mood to watch films, but the idea behind my movie was not only to make money, but to raise consciousness. Our low budget has ensured that we have more than recovered our investment through satellite, home video, digital and other rights.And Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande will remain a testament of these dramatic times for ever and ever.”

With the winds of change blowing over the country, Dabas’s approach to his film is to be commended. It is only further proof of commitment and fervour that was evident in every frame of his movie. And as we send this out, Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande is entering its second week of run.

Chatur Singh 2 Star

Chatur Singh 2 Star which was in the making for almost two years finally hits the screens today.
The film describes the droll journey of Sanjay Dutt from 2 star to 3 star.

The film revolves around Sanjay Dutt who knows everything about nothing... and he's on a mission to destroy himself! He is Chatur Singh 2 Star (Sanjay Dutt), an infamous member of the Mumbai Police Department who, in his career, has been most successful at botching up cases and making a fool of himself.

In spite of being a disgrace to the team, Chatur Singh has just been handed the biggest case in the department's history and of course, this is the perfect chance for him to prove everyone why he is the best officer they have.

Chatur Singh takes off on the secret mission to South Africa and he immediately ensures that there is trouble for all... because he is the biggest trouble of all! His antics are hazardous to health and definitely likely to cause serious injury; he is absolutely clueless and yet he keeps stumbling on all the right clues thanks to a little help from the pretty Sonia (Ameesha Patel).

His bumbling mannerisms, clumsiness and of course his 'super intelligence' sets off a string of hilarious events which lead to more chaos and confusion than anyone could have ever imagined. The criminals are on the run, with Chatur in close pursuit!

Add to this chaotic fray, Pappu Panther (Suresh Menon), who is Chatur's right-hand or in this case "wrong-hand" man; he adores and worships his master Chatur, which makes him an even bigger idiot than Chatur himself!

The film has some dreary gag and pasteurized in a miserable way. Although Sanjay Dutt has completely justified his role but the film loses the grip post interval. The film which was made almost two years back makes it evident in few places.

Ameesha Patel has been wasted in the film. Ameesha was seen only exposing herself throughout the film. Even the presence of a big star like Sanjay Dutt couldn’t save this film.

On the whole with films like Not A Love Story and Sahi Dande Galat Bande releasing on the same date Chatur Singh 2 Star has hardly any scope for survival.
