The release date is not at all viable from BO POV.

This is produced by Bachchans themselves no? I don't think AB charged anything.

Some didn't relate to the basic concept at all. That is AB's voice on Dhanush.

No recognisable heroine either. No hit music.

Promotions were poor. Shamitabh barely had visibility.

AB can at best manage critical acclaim now from the films he does. He is not a BO draw anymore at almost 73 years of age now!

A huge disappointment as the concept was good as were the actors.

What went wrong ?

@Nail Clipper: ^ I even loved the trailer but that's about it. I lost interest in this movie very soon. Also, the movie didn't look visually appealing, why would anyone watch it in theatres? 😆

so sad it flopped ... but glad that dhanush got praises from every quarters ... it was an experimental film n the reactions where mixed ...
i read somewhere that the sets caught fire n it was almost destroyed n the PH has to rebuild it once again... may be that's why the cost increased ...n that there was a problem with reshooting in finland n the crew had to recreate the snow effect through sets n so on...

Balki n PH could have opted for a less budget n focussed more on the sec half , which all the reviews says plays the spoil sport ...

but i have read almost all the reviews , both print n online n is just so glad for dhanush ... he emerged strong even with the challenge of sharing screen space n owning the voice of Mr. Big B... that's a terrific achievement n the dhanush fan in me is satisfied ... 🥳... my friend saw the movie n she totally loved dhanush n says she wants to learn tamil now...

n i am glad that his tamil movie 'anegan' is going to be a blockbuster

AB sr is multi-talented actor no doubt on that but his choice of movies were as worst as his son acting... bachchans now are totally useless in Bw...one doesnt have gud script sense n another doesnt have acting capability🤣

This is terrible, terrible because the film was actually a very good watch for me, i enjoyed it, and to be honest watching Dhanush presenting an act like that onscreen is just so blissful.
I knew the film wouldnt work well, one of the main reasons is that they gave an overdose of Amitabh Bachchan, and thus his character comes off as irritating and kind of boring at a point.. Yes his voice is good, indeed amazing, but something was missing from his character.

Dhanush as i said, never goes wrong, and was excellent, and so easy and believable on eyes.. I think i will still be happy that he got the chance to work with Balki and do this role ...

and yes Dhanush-Akshara, made a cute pairing, what an envy that Dhanush actually shares good chemistry with both the daughters of kamal hassan.

No he wont give up am sure, in that case he would never even do hindi films because of the kind of criticism he faced due to his looks.. and good thing about Shamitabh is that Dhanush has got extremely good reviews ... and i think we can chill now, he signed his 3rd hindi film which will be directed by Anand L Rai, so am just super excited as i will expect the repeat of the madness and excellence of Raanjhana ... 😳
