The serial kisser of Bollywood, Emraan Hashmi is set to don the hat of a conman once again after the film ‘Ghanchakkar‘ in his upcoming release ‘Raja Natwarlal‘. The actor flaunts funky conman look with flashy shades and style.
It seems Enraan has come up with a different strategy to promote his flick and going by the latest report, Emraan Hashmi will watch ‘Raja Natwarlal‘ with rickshawallahs at Chandan theatre on August 23. By looking at its promos, one can guess that ‘Raja Natwarlal‘ is a typical Bollywood masala entertainer and a con-revenge drama. Emraan gives credit to the rickshawallahs for his stardom.
Directed by Kunal Deshmukh, the film ‘Raja Natwarlal‘ also features Humaima Malick and releases on August 29.
Rani Mukherjee starrer ‘Mardaani‘ released in India on August 22, is the first Yash Raj Films with an ‘A’ certificate from the Censor Board. The movie revolves around the topic of human trafficking and it also received ‘A’ certificate from the Pakistan Film Censor Board.
However, the reports revealed that ‘Mardaani‘ will not release in Pakistan, as they demanded a few changes. Seven cuts were demanded as well as there was a requirement of some scenes to be blurred. These changes could not be fulfilled as it would have been a loss of the narration of the movie’s essence and distortion of the movie’s message, as thought by the creative team. The further news update stated that the internal discussion among the team came with a decision that ‘Mardaani‘ will not release in Pakistan.
The action-drama ‘Singham Returns‘ released in last week is still ruling at the box office and August 22 saw one more action-drama ‘Mardaani‘ hitting the silver screens. This production venture by Yash Raj Films featured Rani Mukherjee as fierce Crime Branch officer Shivani Shivaji Roy. The movie was successfully promoted in various social platforms and was expected to do well at the ticket window.
The real scene was different than the expected one, as ‘Mardaani‘ had a low start on its opening day, as per the report. The occupancy recorded by the film on day one was merely 15 to 20%. The film received lukewarm response in Mumbai, South, North and Central India. The evening shows are anticipated to have better picture at cinema halls.
Apart from gaining applause for stellar performance of Rani Mukherjee and multiple positive reviews from the critics, the film needs to have a powerful push. ‘Mardaani‘ directed by Pradeep Sarkar, is expected to collect 3.90 to 4 crore nett approximately on the first day of its release.
‘Mad About Dance‘, ‘Life Is Beautiful!‘, ‘Katiyabaaz‘ and ‘Mumbhai Connection‘ were the other releases on August 22. They proved a complete washout and had very limited shows only in the multiplexes.
