Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal starrer Raazi
has crossed the 100-crore mark at the box
office. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film is
based on the book Calling Sehmat.
In an interview with Mid-day, Alia Bhatt and
Vicky Kaushal expressed their views on the
film's success.
Alia Bhatt said, "The numbers show that the
audience connected with the content in a
big way. I feel a sense of validation and
gratitude. But with success, comes
responsibility too. With this, I feel I need to
be more responsible in my choices
henceforth."
When Alia Bhatt was told that after Tanu
Weds Manu Returns (2015), this is the
second women-centric film that has crossed
100 crore mark at the box office, she states,
"f I start taking these factors into account, it
will affect my decision-making process
when I am choosing a film. I have never
thought about it in the past and I don't
expect to do it in the future."
Vicky Kaushal said that he is grateful to
Meghna Gulzar and the producers for taking
him in the film. "To get a nod from the critics
and audiences, and then to set the cash
registers ringing is a special feeling. I'm
grateful to Meghna and the producers for
making me a part of such a beautiful film."
Director Meghna Gulzar states, "Irrespective
of whether it's organised formally or
informally, I'm sure the team will come
around for one big group huddle. I can't
wait to hug them."

You were not even considering Raazi. But with Raazi she has overtaken Deepu. So who knows maybe GB, Brahmastra and Kalank are responsible choices. 😉

Maybe-but Padmaavat too is a significant BO achievement without a Khan..

Deepika is yet to show her cards..DP fans were bored..now there is excitement.It is all good.Let her rise..let someone rise..or BW will die a slow death.HW wins against India too.

With paid off trade analysts unfortunately for Deepu her 'achievement' with Padmaavat is already forgotten. You have to keep reminding everyone of it. For an achievement to stand out it has to be head and shoulders above the rest. But with everyone doing well and everyone happy its one of the many.

Everything else aside... This Hollywood narrative is just funny 😆
The top 10 Hollywood list is mostly Jungle Book and MCU. Nothing else has clicked the whole year. Last Jedi, Jumanji, Ready Player One, Tomb Raider, Dead pool 2 , Solo... Even Ant Man 2 will tank... Maybe Jurassic World... There is nothing else this year

If Deepika gets that big budget superhero film..If people are willing to invest that kind of money..It is the next big step after Padmavati.

We are not talking about people paying her a crore extra..or an opening of 2 cr more.We are talking of 150-200 cr of risk people are willing to take on her.

What Padmavati has done for Deepika,we are already seeing-she is signing most new brands.

and what Raazi will do for Alia we will know.The first sign will be brands paying her to sell their products like she sold Raazi.
Money talks..

Not people who take money to crown someone.They don't have money to pay the spotboy-let alone greenlight a film

Forget HW..south films are making more Money.

Mahanati..a telugu film..female centred..actors who are non telugu acting in it..more more money than Raazi overseas.2.5 million in the USA.

300 cr was breached in 2014...the next Eid film which is a hit franchise is not expected to reach that mark..Looka at HR,SRK, RK struggling-they are romatic heroes-or only films opp top heroines work big for them-they are doing films that dont suit them because they are not getting good heroines.We need those big songs,dances,romances,even in films which are action,thriller etc

Are you sure that superhero film is happening? Common sense tells me its all in the air with no director and shooting to start in 2019. Its simply a PR news item to keep fans mollified. I was the only one to point out that Deepika and Irfan are miscast as gangsters in the Vishal Bharadwaj film when you guys were all happy about the announcement. Finally what happened? Vishal could have always gone ahead with Deepika and another actor. But they chose to scrap the project itself and now Vishal is announcing one film after another.


As for brands where do you live? Alia recently did new ads for Frooti, Cornetto. These are her old brands. Also a new ad for Star Plus. Why her and why not Deepika? Deepika did some new ads post Padmaavat but its all Alia now.

This I agree

Tamasha would have clicked easily if there was more of Deepika
