Hamari Adhuri Kahani To Struggle For An Opening

Hamari Adhuri Kahani looks set to struggle for an opening tomorrow. The film does a have a hit song but the picturisation probably had to be better to translate into a strong box office opening. Also the the main actors Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan are on a lean patch with their last few films not doing well.

The film will also face competition in the form of Hollywood release and the holdover releases Dil Dhadakne Do and Tanu Weds Manu Returns.

The film will may do better in the evening but that probably wont be enough for a good first day so as has been the case for most of the year it all hangs on word of mouth and how much can you grow on Saturday.


Jurassic World Looking To Topple Major Hindi Release

The Hollywood release Jurassic World may do a first and that is topple a major Hindi release on the opening day. There have been many times that Hollywood releases have scored over Hindi films but none of those Hindi films would have been in the level of Hamari Adhuri Kahani.

The early bookings though there are not much of them suggest that Jurassic World will score over Hamari Adhuri Kahani at most of the major multiplex chains. North India seems to have a decent lead for Jurassic World and North has a big multiplex contribution.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani will probably have to rely on the single screens to outscore Jurassic World but that is an unlikely scenario. Its better chance will be strong word of mouth so that the evenings at multiplexes show huge growth which enable it to catch Jurassic World or even surpass it. Jurassic World will release on Thursday at many places so this can also give Hamari Adhuri Kahani a chance if the film is not up to the mark.

HAK might not get the opening, but with Strong WOM, it will sustain from Sat/Sun. Especially Rajkumar will get praise for sure. His role is having more weight than Emmy or Vidya.

HAK is already receiving negative reviews from critics. Nobody cares about the leading pair anymore. Rajkumar isn't big enough to pull people to theatres. There is no way the movie is going anywhere above flop. Even below average will be a big achievement.

Emraan doing an 'aadarshavadi boyfriend' role just doesnt sound right 😆
He's attempting a shahrukh khan type of a romantic hero I mean dude,why? 😆 do what you do best na-kissing onscreen 😎

I like watching his interviews though. He's a smart guy

Another flop for EH and Vidya. I hope Vidya chooses films carefully after this.

Unless she is not returning the investment her films are getting. Today in this corporate world, this kind of thing hardly matters, u have to give a film which could earn. Else, you will get those B-C grade films, where budget isn't that much high.

I dont think she ever did films with big budgets in the first place. The ones which had big budgets were huge flops for her. Her biggest hit Kahaani had budget of 12cr. She was and never be in the usual heroine doing item songs in big budget films. Her strong point was always her script sense. Which has been lacking post Kahaani as whatever she chose disappointed.

Replace good with hit

All these talents kangana VB etc only got work after they gave hits

Where was kangana before queen? What is happening to VB now?

Why katrina despite being the shittiest of actress is getting work since over a decade

It is all about giving hits. That is just how this industry works.
