Fenil’s Bollywood Talk # 218
THE TIGER SHALL ROAR LOUDLY TOMORROW!
Very rarely it happens that a film manages to generate a hype that touches dizzying heights. Ek Tha Tiger is one such film and it’s expected to shatter all records when it hits the screens nationwide tomorrow!
Ek Tha Tiger would have anyways taken a huge opening. After all, it features Salman Khan who since the last few years has become the biggest crowd puller of Bollywood. However, the teaser and theatrical trailer took the excitement for the film to another level. Salman-Katrina looks awesome together. The film has been shot in 5 countries and carries a stylish, slick and fresh look and is at par with Hollywood standards. The film is directed by Kabir Khan who has his share of fans thanks to his previous two films – Kabul Express and New York. Music too has been appreciated widely. The movie seems like a clean entertainer and moreover, doesn’t has too much of violence too. Hence, Ek Tha Tiger will attract family audiences and ladies in large numbers as well.
Ek Tha Tiger has the advantage of a rare ‘6-day weekend’ (Wednesday 15 Aug is a Holiday and so is Monday August 20). The advance booking commenced as early as Friday and has been terrific. Most of the shows were full by Sunday itself. Hence, the film is looking forward to a huge opening and might shatter Ra.One’s 25-crore record tomorrow. However, as Kabir Khan recently said, what after that? Will the film sustain from Tuesday? The film should be loved in order to attract a repeat audience and also so that it will be remembered for years to come. If Ek Tha Tiger succeeds in achieving that, then nothing better than that!
Here’s hoping Ek Tha Tiger opens huge, turns out well and sustains and trends well!
