The industry, desperately in need of young bankable stars, had high hopes from ‘Shaandaar’. More so because, Shahid Kapoor was returning a year after the critically acclaimed ‘Haider’, before which he delivered a box office hit in the form of ‘R… Rajkumar’. But the response to ‘Shaandaar’ has been lukewarm in the first two days and the trends suggest that the film is likely to be yet another failure / average grosser for Shahid.
All eyes will now be on ‘Tamasha’, the trailer of which has received a mixed response. Ranbir will be making a comeback after two back-to-back disasters in ‘Besharam’ and ‘Bombay Velvet’, both under the direction of Kashyap brothers. For an actor who could do no wrong just a couple of years ago, the trade is no longer confident of ‘Tamasha’ taking a good initial at the box office, even though the film has Deepika Padukone and director Imtiaz Ali – who has previously directed films like Jab We Met, Rockstar, Highway and Love Aaj Kal.
Tamasha releases two weeks after Salman Khan’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and if that film is received as well as Bajirao Mastani, then the opening of Tamasha could be affected, much like ‘Drishyam’ earlier this year. Even if PRDP isn’t received well, Tamasha is unlikely to open as well as ‘Besharam’ and would struggle to match the opening of ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ also starring Ranbir and Deepika in the lead.
YJHD had a terrific trailer, outstanding music, got a favourable release period, was backed by Dharma Productions and marked the comeback of Ranbir-Deepika after their public break-up. On the other hand, Besharam released after the outstanding success of YJHD and had a holiday advantage.
Tamasha will be a huge test for Ranbir. If it works, his career will be back on track. Else, Ranbir, along with the investors of the much-delayed Jagga Jasoos will be worried!
They say, form is temporary and class is permanent. Ranbir is one of the most talented actors in the industry, but since his target audience is at bigger cities and his films rely heavily on multiplex business, where his script sense and choice of films would eventually make the difference. And it’s in this area that Ranbir has failed in the last couple of years.
Faith in Ranbir Kapoor !!
Tamasha would be Going as YJHD :)
Skip it. Write an article about Lagaan2. India’s biggest megastar Aamir khan is doing lagaan 2.
bajrangi bhaijaan not bajirao mastani…correct plz..
we want a QandA session weekly on every thursday..
Correction Indicine..
It should be ” if it is accepted as well as Bajrangi Bhaijaan”
Tamasha is in dangerous situation,it can goes any way,it will not open big also,prdp can challenge any films in third week also & there is James bond also,but good luck for tamasha
@indicine it should be bajrangi bhaijan instead of bajirao mastani
The question is not whether Ranbir makes a come back after Tamasha……….the question is whether he is ready to face whatever result Tamasha throws up, even if it is flopped badly, in a positive stride and continue giving his best???
He got things on a platter, coming from a filmi background……but yes, he did some good works and impressed with his act in movies like Rocket Singh, Barfi…good comic timings in Ajab Prem Ki……..but with continous flops….can he hold on his own……this is the true test.
I guess all superstars from Aamir to Salman, to Srk…..all have gone through rough patches of continuous flops…..but it was their resilience and work that made them survive……..lets see Ranbir kis mitti ka bana hain……
if content is good movie will be hit with 120 cr+ bo..and content is average and If PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO gets wom like BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN then it will be average with max 70 cr+ BO..
if content is good movie will be hit with 120 cr+ bo..and content is average and If PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO gets wom like BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN then it will be below average with max 70 cr+ BO..
He is born disaster star. Even he don’t know how to deliever proper dialogues. Everyone is bored of his worst voice tone & irritating khusur-fusur.
@indicine where is QnA session
How much you hate akki or srk but truth is that these two are only self made superstar other in bollywood only get chance due their filmy backgrounds
@indicine when will be QnA session publish?
I feel even PRDP is going to be a huge disappointment like Shaandaar.
@Indicine make a correction It’s a Bajrangi Bhaijaan not Bajirao mastani
@babaji r u alright? ? So according to aurangzeb bv kd were solo hero films bt not films like yjhd 2states barfi ddd ramleela ishaqzaade rockstar apkgk bah gunday bbb kai po che abcd2 villain soty kai po che sdr…!!!!!
Songs were great but actor and actress and trailer is rubbish. YJHD had so overrated songs.
Altho his stardom is overrated, I kinda like Ranbir Kapoor.He’s a good actor. The songs of Tamasha are good and fresh.The only problem is its coming after a box office monster like PRDP.
@Babaji thullu
Don’t compare Positive WOM movies with Bad WOM movies .
Wht u commented > total chutspah
check openings of these female lead movies :>
NH10> 3 plus
Highway> 3 plus
Piku> 5 plus
Mary com > 7 plus
If D WOM would hve been even mixed to negative then all these movies would hve been flops ,still with good strong WOM only 2 movies crossed 35 cr which u mentioned of female leads .
While D movies u mentioned of young actors,all were having Negative WOM .
Tell me any female centric movie which opened to double digit??
Now don’t say ramleela,2 states …?
nice joke
movie was a super duper flop like ranbir past film.
Male centric movies with GOOD WOM
Ranbirs Barfi > 120cr
Farhan akhtars bhag milkha bhag > 115
Shahid kapur’s haider > 62cr
Varun dhawan badlapur > 55 cr
Sushant singh rajputs kai po che > 45 cr
While female centric movies with GOOD WOM
Highway > 30
Nh10> 35
Mary com > 55
Queen > 60
This is fair nd correct comparison.
See d difference in collections …!
Execution of talent is important,,, no doubt he is talent,,, there are hugee talent,, govinda had talent ,,gd for him,, but don’t think he will ever would be able to surpass khans,,, I believe in Imtiaz story telling,,, may he will come back but one think, if prdp connection strong like bb then no way!!
@Faizu bro! Is it real today I read an article saying the movie is based on taxes,,, that means Lagaan 2,,,,,thought rumour,,, now I think it is real,,,, wow!!!! If u know more plz let know,And indicine u don’t have to report on this, cause aamir does not need u,,, go get a report on srk how does he pee!!!
shahid kapoor and ranbbir are facing ups and
downs in their career In the same way as Bhai
was facing in the dark period of his career
(2006-2009) Soon he came back strongly and
guess what..8 back to back 100 crores,one 200
crores,one 300 crores film,7 blockbusters,1 semi hit(jai ho,1 suppperhit(wanted)in 6
yrs,Highest first phase overseas,highest footfalls
of the decade,highest TRPs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,etc etc etc
Can you believe that???
Learn sth from bhai…
Another flop tag with Ranbir..
its the high expectation which fails..
it should make 70cr+
Varun is much better than RK. Though too early but he proved his versatlity with dark thriller like Badlapur then abcd2. Rk needs to step up if not he will soon be teaming up with non ambitious Akshay doing films. While Varun Sid Ranveer will be playing 2nd lead to more ambitious actors like Salman Shah Amir Ajay and Hritik and I guess John too who is serious minded actor. For now expecting nothing much from Tamasha.
I liked the trailer.And music is also good for me(unfortunately not on the levels of YJHD and A R Rehman other albums) but still it isnt bad.Imtiaz way of movie making is my favorite.Among my top 6 all time favorites two belong to Imtiaz Ali.Rock Star and Jab We Met.Have trust in Imtiaz.So movie will reach 100crs .
All the concerns on box office numbers. Did we ever thought of content and quality of the film? If all of us focus on how the way film entertain you. Then number thing will consider later. So, for those worry bout collection bear in mind that critical acclaimed film always touched the heart of the audience. I’m sure Tamasha will be.
Diffecult but not impossible
