WILL TERAA SURROOR BRING CHEER AT THE TICKET WINDOW?

Theatres across the country are having a tough time off late. The recent releases have all underperformed and most of them have done disastrous business. Last week’s Jai GangaaJal failed to set the cash registers ringing. Zubaan opened to shockingly disastrous collections. The same happened with Aligarh. Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive was slightly better but it still is a box office flop. Neerja is the only film running successfully but even that film is showing a fall, which is organic as it’s in its third week now. There are Hollywood films doing well but these are not mass entertainers that would bring audiences in hordes.

Tomorrow will see the release of Tera Surroor which is not exactly a sequel to Himesh Reshammiya’s debut film Aap Kaa Surroor. It stars Himesh in the leading role and marks the debut of actress Farah Karimaee. The other actors in the film are Kabir Bedi, Shekhar Kapur, Naseeruddin Shah and Monica Dogra. The film is shot very well and looks like a very rich, classy product. What’s impressive is that costs of the film are very limited. The makers claim that they have recovered their investment through sale of music, satellite rights etc. However, box office returns is what will determine if the film can be called a hit or flop. And the chances of the film becoming a hit are remote as of now. The film looks good no doubt but the content is hardly appealing. A large section of audience are not happy with Himesh’s style of acting and are definitely going to keep away from theatres, despite no other exciting film running. Songs have worked but not to a great extent, like it did during The Xpose.

If Teraa Surroor flops, it will add to the list of flops of the season. The theatre owners meanwhile will have to work another week for good news since Kapoor & Sons releasing next Friday definitely looks like a film that will attract audiences in hordes!
