Big bang at the box office on Diwali
It's going to be a firecracker of a weekend this Diwali with three big ticket Bollywood films hitting the theatres. With about Rs 200 crore riding on Blue, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna and All the Best, the film industry is keeping its fingers crossed.
While all three films boast of multi-crore budgets and big star cast, they are quite different in theme, giving filmgoers more reason to queue up at the box office.
The biggest release this weekend is the Rs 100 crore Blue, touted as the costliest Bollywood film ever. Directed by Anthony D'Souza, the film stars Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta and Zayed Khan. Multi-Oscar winner AR Rahman has composed the music.
An action film, Blue revolves around the hunt for an underwater treasure guarded by sharks. Parts of the film was shot underwater at The Bahamas.
Blue also has an international tinge about it. While the film has been scripted by American writers Joshua Lurie and Bryan M Sullivan, Kylie Minogue features in an item number.
The producers of the film have reportedly spent Rs 12 crore only on the publicity.
Main Aurr Mrs Khanna is the story of an extra-marital affair set in the backdrop of an international airport. Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Sohail Khan play the three protagonists.
Prem R Soni makes his directorial debut with the Rs 40 crore film. Like most recent Salman movies the music is composed by Sajid-Wajid.
Adding a bit of fun to the action and romance packed weekend is All the Best, starring Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu, Fardeen Khan and Mugdha Godse.
Director Rohit Shetty's latest comedy of errors promises to keep the audience cheerful. Ajay Devgn's latest home production was put together at a cost of over Rs 35 crore.
Salman's star power and Kareena's oomph could be enough for Main Aurr Mrs khanna producers Ronnie Screwvala and Sohail Khan to rake in the moolah. Rohit Shetty's track record of successful comedies may just give Ajay Devgn a taste of success as a producer.
While the mega budget Blue, given the hype surrounding the film, is believed to have an edge in the triangular contest. But the audiences often manage to throw up a surprise at the box office.
