| Its Kareena vs Priyanka this Diwali By BN, 22 October, 2008 |
Golmaal Returns is crucial for Ajay Devgan. The talented actor has a spate of flops (Cash, Halla Bol, Ram Gopal Varma Ki AAG, Mehbooba; Sunday was ordinary in some circuits, while U Me Aur Hum did well at big city plexes) and Golmaal Returns could prove to be the turning point in his career. Kareena Kapoor also is hoping to cement her status with Golmaal Returns. Her sole release current year (Tashan opposite Saif) sank at the box office and though she is riding high on popularity charts, she needs a solid Hit to stay put on the throne. Her rival and contender to the throne, Katrina Kaif, has already had a great innings. The worst affected is Priyanka Chopra. The industry labels anyone a jinxed actor/actress if you have a spate of flops to your credit. And Priyanka has flops, flops and more flops than any actress this year. In 2006 it was Aap Ki Khatir, in 2007 Salaam-E-Ishq and Big Brother and in 2008, as many as four flops in a row, Love Story 2050, God Tussi Great Ho, Chamku And Drona. Will Fashion change her fortunes? Or will Kangana Ranaut walk away with accolades? We will know on 29 October. Till then Priyanka can chew her nails in anxiety |
