Subhash Ghai blames newcomer Mishti for Kaanchi's initial response

Mumbai: Subhash Ghai is unfazed with the slow start of his latest directorial "Kaanchi" at the box office. The movie stars newcomer Mishti in the lead role and the filmmaker says patience is needed to accept films with a new cast.

"Whenever you (a filmmaker) make a film with a newcomer, you don't need the initial response. In fact, the day you script the film, you already make up your mind that in the first two or three days of its release, the film will not do good," Ghai told reporters here at an event.

"But if anything is good, it picks up," he added.

"Kaanchi" hit the theatres April 25 and it has got a lukewarm response, both from the audience and critics. It minted Rs.1.25 crore in two days since its release.

However, Ghai is hopeful the film will pick up in the coming days.

"A little bit of patience is needed for a film made with a new cast, so just wait and watch, everything will be fine in a few days. I know people are enjoying it," the filmmaker said.

The film chronicles the story of an innocent rural beauty and her fight against power and features Kartik Aaryan, Mithun Chakraborty and Rishi Kapoor in key roles.

poor actress

Haven't watched the movie..but the heroine looks soo shweet...

Excuse me ?? If there is a new comer how will people know unless there is some publicity ? I haunt these forums, even I did not hear of this film or about the trailer being out until someone created a thread unrelated to promo.

The way to launch a new comer is at least do half of what is being done for Tiger Shroff especially if that person does not have a famous parent or friends to draw attention.

You did not spend any money on publicity and you blame the poor new comer ? Kaisa Showman 🤔

but d girl is beautiful , did u saw her pic ? she is just so pretty 😛

Ghai did take her to reality shows, award shows and talk shows on news channels. But why blame only the actress? He himself is a spent force now and no way as influential as he was in 80s or 90s! The girl is pretty. But it is always hard to get noticed for a newcomer who is a not a starkid or beauty contest winner.

What a pompous loser. If anything, you should blame yourself. No one wants to see YOUR films.

Exclude this one as well. No one cares about Himesh's heroine Zoya Afroz who was Miss India last year.
