MUMBAI: Shaukeens, the remake of 1982 Basu Chatterjee film,Shaukeen, starring old stalwarts Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt and AK Hangal is below the mark.
The three characters being re-enacted by Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor and Piyush Mishra are no patch on the veterans they replace. Plus, the script has been mutilated badly in an attempt to better it (old classics can’t be bettered).
The film opened low despite a weak opposition. And, the film has managed to collect just Rs 13.5 crore for its opening weekend.
Rang Rasiya, an attempt to sell some n*d*ty in the name of an artistic biopic about a celebrated artist Raja Ravi Varma, has not worked. Biopics about known recent heroes don’t work with our audience and this film working was a long shot. The film fares poorly, missing a first day crore by miles and going onto end the weekend with a poor Rs 2.1 crore.
Super Nanifails at the box office. The subject, despite Rekha enacting the protagonist, is outdated and treated badly. The film has managed to collect a meagre Rs 2.75 crore in its first week.
Roar, a rare film on human vs man eater tigers in a game of survival offered some novelty value which was not enough to save it at the box office. Laden with heavy special effects, which costs dearly, the film has managed just Rs 7.85 crore in its first week.
Happy New Year, despite its negative reports, gets the advantage of poor oppositions and does better than merited in its second week. Even while on decline after its opening day, the film manages to collect Rs 32.4 crore in its second week taking its two week total to Rs 162.4 crore.
Haidarhas added Rs 10 lakh in its fifth week to take its five week total to Rs 40.5 crore.
Bang Banghas collected Rs 15 lakh in its fifth week to take its five week total to Rs 145.75 crore.
