I think its gonna be flop too.
Actually Im very disappointed with the marketing of the film. Initially in the first teaser it was really interesting, all four leads were given the prominence they deserved.
Now they're all stuck and hell-bent on promoting Saif-Kareena. This is a horrible strategy IMO. Though Saif-Kareena are a good couple, they don't have the media appreciation yet, like say, a couple like John-Bipasha.
They should've promoted more of Akshay Kumar. He would be the REAL and I think the only reason people would go to see Tashan for. If it weren't for Akki, I would've written off Tashan as a flop. But Akki has GREAT commercial value. And all his movies are mindless entertaining flicks, only. So it would have a great mass appeal.
I'm not completely sure though if its gonna slop, if they correct this problem and market better. I think Tashan would not go to dumps. However, much also depends on the reviews given out by Taran Adarsh and Rajeev Masand and other critics.
Chak de's promos to were very unappealing. But just due to good word of mouth, it became one of the top grossing movies in 2007. If word of mouth is good, then the movie Tashan will become a sure-shot hit!!! So either way, I don't care that much. If the movie is good, it'll become a hit, and if its bad, then it will get the thrashing it deserves!!! 😃
