Yashraj movies in 2008

Yashraj Films

Number of movies released in 2008: Six

Hits: 1; Flops: 3; Average: 2

Tashan

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Anil Kapoor
Director: Vijay Krishna Acharya
Approximate nett collection: Rs 28 crore
Result: Flop
Insiders say: The money invested couldn't be recovered. The standoff between Yash Raj Films and the multiplex owners added to the woes as the film released in multiplexes a whole two weeks later.

Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic

Cast: Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji
Director: Kunal Kohli
Approximate nett collection: Rs 21 crore
Result: Flop
Insiders say: There was no excitement about the movie to begin with. Plus, it taught some of the producers an important lesson – that Saif Ali Khan cannot carry off a film on his lonesome shoulders.

Bachna Ae Haseeno

Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Minissha Lamba and Deepika Padukone
Director: Siddharth Anand
Approximate nett collection: Rs 36 crore
Result: Average
Insiders say: India was reminded of a fresh new face called Ranbir Kapoor. The film made him the heartthrob of the nation. Bachna... itself did decent business overseas. However it could not reach out to the semi-urban and rural India.

Roadside Romeo

Cast: Voices of Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Javed Jaffrey
Director: Jugal Hansraj
Approximate nett collection: Rs 3 crore
Result: Flop
Insiders say: At a time when animation movies make the big bucks internationally, Roadside Romeo failed to garner any interest whatsoever. In fact because it was an animation flick that the film failed to work.

Dostana (Only distribution)

Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra
Director: Tarun Mansukhani
Producer: Karan Johar
Approximate nett collection: Rs 44 crore
Result: Average
Insiders say: One of the major reasons Dostana did good business was because it made a killing in the paid previews. But it failed to reach out to a wider audience because of its rather unusual topic.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Vinay Pathak
Director: Aditya Chopra
Approximate gross: Rs 81 crore (now 85.33 crores)
Result: Blockbuster
Insiders say: Like all Shah Rukh Khan movies, this one too minted money overseas. It had a simple storyline and was set in a small town. That also ensured that theatres in the B and C centres were packed.
