WILL IMRAN KHAN’S CAREER GET A FRESH TURN WITH KATTI BATTI?
Imran Khan might have failed to be an all-round actor but he has done a fine job in romantic films and romcoms. Even his last film, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, was a romcom and was a decent fare. Sadly, it turned out to be a huge disaster. After almost 22 months, Imran Khan is back with a bang with Katti Batti, co-starring Kangana Ranaut and directed by Nikhil Advani. And thankfully for Imran, the film looks great and is all set to be a huge grosser if all goes well.
The promotions of the film kickstarted almost 3 months ago and has been interesting enough. The trailer did half the trick and generated lot of excitement. There was a doubt that whether Katti Batti is inspired from 500 Days Of Summer but the makers have assured that it’s not the case. The songs haven’t become chartbusters but are quite nice. Imran Khan looks great but it’s Kangana Ranaut who is one of the big highlights of the film. In fact she is on high post the extraordinary success of Tanu Weds Manu Returns. And if the film emerges a success, she’ll surely get a lot of credit for it.
Katti Batti has a clear one week run. Last week’s Hero has underperformed and hence, this film will get a huge release. However, the film looks like an urban flick and it remains to be seen if it can make a mark in the hinterland. This can affect the business to an extent. Also, it has to be a well-made film. Or else, it will fall after a great weekend. The film is directed by Nikhil Advani, who doesn’t have a great track record. In fact last week’s Hero was also directed by him and it hasn’t made a mark.
Katti Batti looks great and here’s hoping it works for everyone associated with it!

The other release of the week is MSG 2 The Messenger, the sequel to the film MSG The Messenger that released in February 2015. Like the first part, it features Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insan in a leading role. The makers assure that the sequel is based on a true story and that the stunts have been added for drama. Like part 1, the part 2 has some outrageous songs, sung, written and composed by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insan himself.
A sequel is usually made if the part 1 is successful. The part 1 however was a colossal disaster and yet the makers have come up with part 2. In fact, the part 2 will be a bigger disaster as it’s releasing on a much smaller scale than the first part.
