The Badshah of Bollywood, the one and only Shahrukh Khan has ruled Bollywood Box Office for over a decade. But his arch rival Salman Khan has reached the top spot in no time and have left SRK far behind. Even many other Superstars are well ahead of SRK currently. From Ra.One to Jab Tak Hai Jaan, SRK has somehow failed to deliver big at the Box Office, while his rival Salman Khan is making records with each release continuously.
In Ra.One, SRK played a Super Hero role but failed to hit The Bull's Eye. Than in Don 2, he was seen in aggressive mood with Don Avatar which was appreciated but not much. Than came Jab Tak Hai Jaan and SRK played his natural Romantic role but still the movie failed to put big record numbers at Domestic Box Office.
Why Shahrukh Khan Failed to give Big Blockbusters in past couple of years ?
Now-a-days, the taste of the audience is changed a lot. The life of a common man is full of tensions and you know the reasons very well, specially the Mass audience which is large in numbers in not only India but, the whole of Asia. The audience need Entertainment when they enter the Cinema Hall. A class movie can provide entertainment only with a strong script because there is nothing much to show in a Class Movie, while a Mass movie can turn out to be a huge blockbuster even with an average script and the reason is, that there is much stuff to entertain the audience in a mass movie such as Masala Action, Humor, Romance, Single Liners ( Jokes ), Hot Sizzling Item Numbers and much more. So even if the plot of the movie is weak, people still enjoy the movie and feel relaxed.
If you see at the Box Office numbers of the movies released in past 2-3 years, you will find Mass Movies at the top, while Class movies even with strong star casts failed to deliver big. Films like Barfi, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Oh My God did great business because of an extra-ordinary strong script and some beautiful performances by the lead roles.
So coming back to the point, Shahrukh Khan's movies did record business in overseas market because no doubt, the movies were high class International Level movies but different countries have different kinds of people and in India, these types of movies does not work much.
Although his past 2-3 films are not flop but now-a-days, we do not expect a Hit or a Flop, specially by Khans. We expect record numbers as the competition is getting stronger and stronger.
So to compete with the trend going on, Chennai Express is a Golden film for Shahrukh. He is playing a Desi Role after a long time. The reason is that the film is a Mass Movie which will have lots of entertainment material and the big thing is that the movie is directed by Rohit Shetty who has delivered back to back huge blockbusters. You all know very well about the kind of movies Rohit direct. Lots of Masala Action, great comedy, romance, beautiful music, attractive screenplay and all that material which is required to entertain the Audience.
Can SRK deliver a Golden Blockbuster with Chennai Express ?
SRK's past few films were totally Class appeal but Chennai Express will be a movie for both Masses and Classes. The only bad thing is that Shahrukh will not get a festival release for Chennai Express as all the festivals of 2013 are already booked so the film will be a normal release. The release date of Chennai Express is not yet announced. The shooting of the film is in progress and recently Farah Khan has choreographed a song in Chennai Express picturised on SRK and Deepika, the leading pair of Chennai Express.
So overall, Chennai Express has everything needed for Big Box Office numbers. Huge star cast, a well known Director, perfect genre etc. In short, Chennai Express is Ready Steady PO !
We wish SRK Best Of Luck for Chennai Express !
Two Biggies of the Hindi film Industry have joined hands for a mega film. For the first time in his career, Akshay Kumar will be starring in Karan Johar's Production.

One is Akshay and second is yet to be decided. The shooting of the film will begin in early 2014.
Talking about the film, Karan Johar said “I can’t divulge too much now. But what I can definitely say is that the movie is mainstream and has a very strong underlying social message. It’s solid and hard-hitting. Punit brought me this amazing script. I immediately approached Akshay and he was equally thrilled with the idea.”
Akshay too confirmed the film “We’re two very passionate producers with one great aim i.e to entertain. Both Karan and I want to make our fathers proud. Cheers to our new venture.”

Here is a hot news coming up!! It may disappoint some as well. For all those who are loving Salman in the current massy action entertainers that he is doing, he will continue in the same successful track for the next couple of years as well. He will be working with Sohail Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala and Prabhudeva this year itself. The shooting schedule of Anees Bazmee's 'No Entry Mein Entry' has been postponed to 2014 and there is uncertainty around Sooraj Barjatya's next directorial venture as well. So those who were eagerly waiting to see Salman back in comic or romantic roles, would have to wait a little longer. Salman is now all set to start shooting for Sohail Khan's next release. The working title for this movie was kept as 'Mental' but it is not the final title, as confirmed by Sohail Khan himself. This movie is going to start from Feb 18 and it will be filmed in Goa, Lasava and Kohlapur.Friday, 1 February 2013
Preity Zinta got off to a dream start in Bollywood debuting opposite none other than Shahrukh Khan in ace director Mani Ratnam’s ‘Dil Se’ in 1998. Although her role was short but she was appreciated by one and all. This dimpled lass from Himachal Pradesh was originally supposed to make her screen debut opposite Hrithik Roshan in Shekhar Kapur’s ‘Tara Rum Pum Pum’ but the movie got shelved.
Preity took time in establishing herself as one of the top leading ladies of Bollywood and reached the pinnacle of success during 2003-2005. But after that it has been a tough ride for this bubbly actress. With the onslaught and rise of new brigade comprising of stars like Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, senior actresses like Preity have been relegated to the backseat. But times are quickly changing and the phenomenal comeback of Sridevi last year can trigger some great scripts written for the talented Koi Mil Gaya star.
Preity has done various roles and her portrayal of characters combined with her screen persona have contributed to a change in the concept of a Hindi Film Heroine. Some of her noteworthy performances are those of a bubbly girl in ‘Soldier’, a CBI officer in ‘Sangharsh’, a Kashmiri beauty in ‘Mission Kashmir’, a surrogate mother in ‘Chori Chori Chupke Chupke’, an adopted daughter in ‘Dil Hai Tumhara’, a modern girl in ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, a brave TV journalist in ‘Lakshya’ and an ambitious wife in ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’.
Below is a Top 5 list of Preity Zinta’s Best Performances.
1) Kal Ho Naa Ho: Preity played the role of ‘Naina Catherine Kapoor’, an insecure and angry young woman who falls in love with a man suffering from a fatal heart disease, to utmost conviction. She received her first and only ‘Filmfare Award for Best Actress’ for her brilliant performance in the film.
2) Veer Zaara: Zinta played a Pakistani girl ‘Zaara Hayaat Khan’ in the epic love saga ‘Veer Zaara’ directed by the legendary Yash Chopra. It was a mature portrayal as Preity mastered the finer nuances of Urdu language required for the character.
3) Kya Kehna: This was a role that got her major recognition as an actress. Kundan Shah’s Kya Kehna, where she played the role of ‘Priya Bakshi’, a teenage single mother who fights social prejudice, with elan. A heart- felt performance that won her a nomination in the ‘Best Actress’ category.
4) Dil Chahta Hai: Preity played the role of a vibrant and confused girl ‘Shalini’ with ease in Dil Chahta Hai which turned out to be a path-breaking cult classic. It’s also, arguably, the best film of Preity Zinta’s career.
5) Salaam Namaste: Preity played the female protagonist ‘Amber’, a single young woman who leaves India to make her own life in Melbourne, in this beautiful Yashraj Films love story Salaam Namaste. Preity portrayed the character of a girl who has a live-in relationship with her love interest and then struggles with an unexpected pregnancy.
Here is wishing Preity Zinta a very Happy Birthday and a year filled with success and happiness. We hope to see her in good meaningful roles in the future. Her best is yet to come!
As many as 8 Bollywood movies are scheduled to release in the 1st week of February 2013 – David, Vishwaroop, Midnight’s Children, Listen Amaya, Deewana Main Deewana, Mai.., The Unsound and Pyaar Ka Jalwa.
Out of all those films, only two will have a proper release at both multiplexes and single-screens. Bijoy Nambiar’s David and Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroop.
Which film do you plan to watch this weekend? Tell us in the comments section below.
1. David: Hailed as the director to watch out for, after his critically acclaimed debut ‘Shaitan’, Bejoy Nambair is returns after a gap of two years with David. The film will have 3 tracks, which go back and forth. Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has a role to play in one of the tracks, while Tamil superstar Vikram, Tabu, Vinay Virmani and several other actors are also a part of the ensemble cast. Talking to us recently, Bejoy promised a gripping film with good performances.
David Box Office Prediction: The film is expected to open slow (20-30%) and then grow on word-of-mouth publicity. There is nothing quite like positive WOM for medium-budget films, like we saw with Kahaani and Vicky Donor last year.
2. Vishwaroop: This movie has been constantly in the news over the last 2 weeks or so. The whole ban-clear-reban-stay fiasco, has ensured that the film has received enough publicity. Starring Kamal Haasan, Pooja Kumar, Shekhar Kapur, Rahul Bose, Andrea Jeremiah, Jaideep Ahlawat and others, Vishwaroop is a spy thriller written, directed and produced by Haasan.
Vishwaroop Box Office Prediction: Barring any untoward incidents, the response to Vishwaroop should be good – atleast better than it otherwise would have (without the controversy). Having said that, Kamal Haasan isn’t quite as big a star as he down south, so a 30% opening will be considered ‘good’. Balaji Motion Pictures is releasing the Hindi version of the film in India.
3. Midnight’s Children: Is an adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s 1981 novel with the same name. The film has a few known Indian faces – Soha Ali Khan, Shriya Saran, Anupam Kher, Shabana Azmi, Shahana Goswami, Rahul Bose,, Seema Biswas, Siddarth Narayan and even Taare Zameen Par star Darsheel Safary. Midnight’s Children is written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Deepa Mehta.
Midnight’s Children Box Office Prediction: Will have a predominantly multiplex release and it’s fate will rely almost entirely on the audience response.
4. Mai… : Marks the acting debut of legendary singer Asha Bhosle. The audience awareness of the film’s release is close to nil.
5. Deewana Main Deewana: It was hard to even recognise Priyanka Chopra in the trailers, as the film has been in the making for over 10 years now. Ditto for Govinda who like he shot for the film soon after Haseena Maan Jayegi. At the boxoffice, don’t expect much! Priyanka’s presence might help the film get a 10% opening.
6. Listen Amaya: The film stars veteran actor Farooq Shaikh and Deepti Naval. In Deepti’s own words, the film “explores the relationship and thought process of the younger generation vis-a-vis the middle-aged”. A film that you can watch with your family. At the ticket window, well, it’s a multiplex release again. The film has been made on a small budget, so a decent response will help the producers recover their investment.
7. The Unsound: Is a thriller with unknown actors. Directed by Alok Shrivastav.
8. Pyaar Ka Jalwa: Phew! Not too sure how many people can afford to watch one movie a week and we have 8! The makers have promised a film that is unlike any other sweet romantic comedy that you have seen.
