Chennai Express on Track - Collects Rs 33.12 Crore On Its Opening Day

The film 'Chennai Express' which released on the auspicious day of Eid has managed to earn a record opening of Rs 33.12 crores. It is further expected to do well in India and abroad seeing its current earning rate.

The promotions for the movie, SRK-factor as well as the festival of Eid boosted the earnings of Chennai Express. The buzz about the movie was also pretty strong even before its release in theatres. Rs 6.75 were collected in India only on thursday. Gaurav Verma, the distributor for the film revealed that they have got an overwhelming response and the film is being loved by everyone. He said that Chennai Express is although running in the highest number of cinemas, and the film is all set to create many records.

Chennai Express which is rumoured to be made at a budget of around 70 crores has been doing good in South India also. The factor which seems to help the movie is postponement of release of 'Thalaivaa' which stars Karthik who is one of the leading stars of South India.  Chennai Express has Deepika Padukone in the role of a Tamil girl and Shahrukh Khan as a North Indian man. Although Deepika's Malayalam-like accent is being criticized by the experts, the film is doing good in South. Infact it is the best opening for any Shahrukh or Rohit Shetty film.

Chennai Express vs. Duniyadari (Marathi movie)

The awaited film Chennai Express  which is scheduled to release on August 9 has faced the wrath of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) . Rohit Shetty film has been made to skip many theatres in Mumbai because of Raj Thackery's MNS focussing on Swapnil Joshi's Marathi film Duniyadari.

Rohit Shetty met Raj Thackery to sort out the issue . The Marathi film Duniyadari is doing very good box office collections in Marathi cinema and led to make this move by MNS. Shetty-Thackery meeting was held in the presence of Duniyadari cast and crew. The dispute has arisen because of the Shahrukh-starrer Chennai Express demanding single cinemas in Maharashtra which will hamper the collections of Duniyadari which released on July 19 and is running still successfully. On Wednesday, the Maharashtra Navnirman Chitrapat Karamchari Sena (film wing) Cheif Amey Khopkar said in a statement- "If the Chennai Express producers attempt to do this , we shall not let the movie be exhibited in the cinema of the states. We shall also remove their publicity posters from Thursday".

After the meeting, Shetty and Raj both claimed that it was a very small issue and the Shahrukh- starrer film will skip the single theaters where Duniyadari is doing good business.

Well, the issue has been resolved and film has gained publicity too.

Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone inspired by Rajnikanth

Rajnikanth seems to have charmed Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone also. King Khan and Deepika Padukone has come together for a special song paying tribute to Tamil cinema icon Rajnikanth. The song 'Lungi dance' titled 'Thalaivar Tribute' has been sung and composed by rapper Hardesh Singh, popularly known as Honey Singh. Shahrukh has sighed of relief after wrapping up shooting of 'Chennai Express' directd by Rohit Shetty, which is  to be realeased on August 9, 2013.  

Shahrukh termed Rajnikanth as 'global cultural icon'. He infact added "who isn't a fan of 'The Rajnikanth'?"  Deepika Padukone is also a huge fan of Rajni sir. On Shahrukh's request, she agreed to be a part of the song. The song is being choreographed by National Award winning choreographer Chinni Prakash. "The song is fun, happy and completely Rajnikanth style", Shahrukh said.

Although the song is not a part of Chennai Express, it is sure to boost its fame. Now even Shahrukh has admitted being his fan, we have realised the meaning of 'yanna rascala, mind it'!

Shah Rukh Khan's Bebo love

 Well there is nothing cooking between King Khan and Bebo (or is it?) but one thing is sure that SRK love Kareena's company.

Do not scratch your head too much, we will tell you what actually happened. Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone were scheduled to perform in an event in Dubai on the occassion of Eid. But Kareena's dates were conflicting  with the promotional schedule of her forthcoming flick "Bodyguard". The moment Kareena expressed her nonavailability for the Dubai event, King Khan also decided to opt out of it.

This is quite normal...... he he he....do you really think so?   

"Billu" Review

SRK's much talked flick "Billu" got a bad bad response from the audience on the very first day.
people hardly liked the movie though it has the brand name SRK in it.

If Shah Rukh Khan was supposed to be the backbone of the film, he should have been given a justified role in the movie. than "Billu" would have been much better. The items songs are so badly incorporated that they seems to be promo songs of some other movies. The actress (Lara Dutta) is seen in eyeliners and lip glosses when there is no food to eat for the family. Asrani, Raj Pal Yadav and Om Puri seems to be doing same roles again and again, particularly in a Priyadarshan movie.

The list of flaws in the direction and concept is endless and as a result the movie got the treatement it deserves.

Bad reponse and sad sad time for the "Billu" team.

SRK regrets on missing few roles

Shah Rukh Khan is regretting on missing out on few memorable roles due to his own decisions. First he missed out the Munna Bhai MBBS, the movie which gave Sanjay Dutt's career a new life and made him popular agin not only in the country but globally.

Recently, SRK again decided to opt out of the movie Three Idiots, due to some differences in the payments and also King Khan wanted to be a partner in the project but the produces Vidhu Vinod Chopra was not keen to make Shah Rukh his partner in the project.

The pain was more for King Khan when ultimately Aamir was signed for the movie, the actor also accepted the role for Lagaan when SRK rejected the role and chose to work in Swades....rest is history that we will know.


Well we all should feel for SRK!!!

Hai Na??

I could dare to fight with Shah Rukh: Aamir

The war of words between the two khans, SRK and Aamir, does not seem to be ending for the moment. Recently, Shah Rukh sparked a controversy by proclaiming himself the biggest brand and saying there cannot be any competition with him. Responding to this, Aamir said “For me Amitabh Bachchan is No 1. Do Lata Mangeshkar, Sachin Tendulkar and Amitabh Bachchan say they are number one? No one who sits on the top needs to say he is number one. Others keep claiming to be there,” Aamir also said, "I don't believe in competitions with others. I only compete with myself." “Do you think I could dare to fight with Shah Rukh. He is a good friend and so I can't fight with him. I respect him a lot," said Aamir, when asked about his fight with King Khan. Well Both Aamir and SRK may deny but there is certainly a healthy cold war going on between these two top stars.

SRK vs. Aamir...the war continues

The war between King Khan and Aamir Khan does not seem to be getting quite.

Recently at the launch function of Filmfare magazine's latest issue, ShahRukh Khan said "There cannot be any competition with me. I'm the biggest brand in the country. I am always there to endorse for everyone, but the saddest part is that no one is there to endorse for me as there is no brand bigger than me,"

Reacting to the above comments made by SRK, Aamir said, "He has been speaking about himself for last 20 years so there is nothing new about it."

Aamir is aggressively campaigning for Ghajini and the ushers of the multiplexes, where Shah Rukh's film is running, have adopted Aamir's Ghajini hair style to promote the action-thriller.

This too is making SRK angry!!!
