Mausam: Rs. 7.60 Cr On Opening Day

September 24th, 2011 by Koimoi.com Team

Comments ( 0 )

Mausam made a total of Rs. 7.60 crore (all-India net collections approx) on its opening day (September 23). The Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor starrer took a good start, contrary to what many trade sources have been saying about the film not doing too well.

Mausam, directed by Pankaj Kapur, is the story of a couple separated by circumstances. Shahid plays a young and happy-go-lucky Hindu boy living in a small town of Punjab. He meets a Kashmiri Muslim, Sonam Kapoor, and the two fall in love with one another. The two are separated soon and they meet after seven years in Scotland. But once again, they get separated.

Hrithik: Shahid Kapoor is flawless!

Shahid and Pankaj Kapur's dream project, Mausam, hit the screens today. A star-studded premiere was held on Thursday. Here is what the glamourous attendees had to say about it.

Hrithik Roshan- After a long time I watched such a beautiful love story. It's made from the heart. I think Shahid Kapoor needs a flaw. Perfect combination of strength and chocolate-boy image! The film has been shot beautifully.

Bipasha Basu- Sonam looks picture perfect and Shahid's performance was awesome and he really does justice to the IAF uniform. Wish them the best! Some scenes are so beautifully done that you imagine yourself to be there. From Indian routes to Scotland, it's a perfect love story.

Genelia D'Souza- From the beginning till the end, I sat with my mouth open! It's such a lovely film. I just loved Shahid in the film! What a performance! He has really grown as an actor and I think this was one of the best performances by him. Just loved the film and feel like dancing on the song Sajh Dhaj Ke. I just love the song and Shahid's moves.

Kangna Ranaut- It's a beautiful love story which reminds you of old love stories. It reminds you of Punjab ke khet and those romantic scenes. Totally loved the film and everyone's performance!

Ameesha Patel- I think it's a brilliant movie and the direction was totally well done. Hats off to Pankaj sir! After acting for so many years he has directed such a wonderful love story. I believe Shahid and Sonam make a cute pair.

Rani Mukerji - I loved the film and I think Shahid and Sonam were simply brilliant. Loved Sonam's looks, she is such a good actor. I must admit Shahid has evolved to become a wonderful actor. Watch the film for good music, love story, and the chemistry between them.

Shabana Azmi- I have always been a fan of Pankaj Kapur's acting and I wanted to watch his direction. Beautifully directed Mausam is worth watching. After a long time such a fresh love story has been made.

Mausam's 2nd Day Box Office Collections have also shown a good jump. It Collected Around 7.8-8 crores on Saturday. After an Average to Good Critics Response, Mausam Has Finally Picked up some pace. The Weekend Should Finish at 24-25 crores Approximately. This is At Par at the Top 10 Grossing Films of this Year.

Since Mausam is a Family Film and Has not a Good Competetion Next Week so It can Stabalize itself for a Couple of Weeks at the Box office Untill Rascals Pops in.

Mausam: Movie Review

By Taran Adarsh, September 23, 2011 - 10:00 IST

It's become a ritual. Week after week, I make it a point to gauge audience expectations from a forthcoming movie on Twitter and Facebook. Based on what they have seen in the promos of a forthcoming film, or after listening to its soundtrack, the prospective viewers/moviegoers share their thoughts on the movie on my timeline. MAUSAM, I must add, had generated tremendous excitement prior to its release for varied reasons. One of the key reasons being, it is helmed by one of the most respected and accomplished actors of India -- Pankaj Kapur. This, in my opinion, is also its unique selling proposition.

Write your own movie review of Mausam

MAUSAM is being advocated as one of the greatest, epic love stories on celluloid. A story that talks of unconditional love against all adversities. First-time director Pankaj Kapur narrates a saga of star-crossed lovers facing various storms in their lives and of course, seasons. The story begins in the early 1990s and concludes a decade later, encompassing historical events that affected our lives -- displacement of Kashmiri Pandits, Babri Masjid episode, Mumbai blasts, 9/11, Kargil war and Gujarat riots. Though the on-screen characters make a veiled attack on the atrocities inflicted on the common man, MAUSAM remains a love story at heart.

One has come to expect mesmeric romance and lilting tunes, backed by sensitive portrayals, from a true-blue romantic film. Unfortunately, MAUSAM suffers for the very reason that one may have assumed would be its biggest strength -- writing. The screenplay, to put it bluntly, is unengaging and what makes it worse is the fact that it seems like a never-ending saga. The film just goes on and on and on, moving from one city/country to another, till the viewer gets jetlagged and exhausted by watching this saga unfold on screen. With a running time of close to 3 hours, MAUSAM has a few sequences that do stand out, but the weak script blows the efforts away.

MAUSAM starts with mere adolescent attraction between a Punjabi boy Harry [Shahid Kapoor] and a Kashmiri girl Aayat [Sonam Kapoor] in a small village of Punjab. It develops into young love between them in season two. Their love realizes its own depth in the hours of separation through season three. In the fourth and final season, their love culminates into togetherness. But not before sacrificing a lot personally and learning the truth behind universal love.

MAUSAM has an old-world charm, no two opinions about it. The magic of the good old days is delectable and it's a great feeling to go back in time. Right from the setting to the costumes to the overall ambience, the film succeeds in pulling you back in time. But like I pointed out at the outset, the writing leaves a sour taste in your mouth. It lacks meat.

Let me elaborate. The transition from Season 1 [in Punjab] to Season 2 [in Scotland] seems most unreal. The transition from a small village in Punjab to a palatial mansion and shop in Scotland remains a mystery. It truly baffles you. Also, when Sonam accidentally spots Shahid in Scotland, after a gap of many years, you'd expect her to rush up to him; if not hug him, at least make him aware that they've finally found/traced each other. But she doesn't, till he traces her and leaves a note for her. Why does Sonam evade him on the street first and at the concert later? Those in love would jump at the very first opportunity to rekindle an old flame, right?

The graph of the film moves downwards with each passing episode. The war and the aftermath doesn't work, the Switzerland incident [when Shahid spots Sonam and chases her again, only to find her with someone else], though well shot, adds to the length, while the finale in Ahmedabad -- the climax -- is far from convincing. Besides, the lovers cross paths so many times that it doesn't come across as a coincidence anymore. Also, their reunion doesn't make you feel euphoric at all. The film doesn't end at that. There's an element of heroism injected in the finale moments of the film and it is so ridiculous that you actually rub your eyes in disbelief. Seriously, Mr Kapur, what were you thinking when you wrote this part?

Pankaj Kapur is a brilliant actor, but he has a long, long way to go when it comes to writing a screenplay and telling a story without stretching it. There's no denying that he has handled a number of sequences adroitly, but after a point, MAUSAM becomes a tedious experience that sets in boredom and tests the patience of the viewer. The production values are top notch and producers Sheetal Vinod Talwar and Sunil Lulla deserve credit for giving the film a gargantuan look. The soundtrack of MAUSAM [Pritam] is a delight for listeners. The songs that stand out are 'Sajh Dhaj Ke' and 'Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya Oye'. Binod Pradhan's cinematography is remarkable.

It must have been a challenge of sorts for Shahid and Sonam to get the roles right. For, both sport not one, but varied looks in the film. Shahid gives his all to this role, submitting himself to his director-father to mould him the way he chooses to. It won't be erroneous to state that Shahid surpasses all his previous performances, including the one in KAMINEY, with this film. The film also marks the coming of age of this actor. For Sonam, MAUSAM will prove to be a turning point in her career. Astonishing -- that would be the right word to describe her work this time around. The confidence with which she handles the distinct characterization speaks volumes.

Supriya Pathak Kapur is first-rate. Anupam Kher is wasted. Manoj Pahwa is wonderful, as always. The actors essaying the role of Sonam's father and sister are natural. Vaibhav Talwar gets no scope. Aditi Sharma excels in a brief role.

On the whole, MAUSAM is a colossal disappointment!
