WILL HAPPY PATEL KHATARNAK JASOOS AND RAHU KETU BRING SOME RESPITE AT THE BOX OFFICE?
Last week’s major release The RajaSaab has emerged as a disaster in Hindi and also in the original Telugu language. In Hindi, it opened at Rs. 5 crores as predicted last week. However, it reached this number due to feeding, as per the allegations. On the second day, self-booking was allegedly not done and hence, the earnings dropped to Rs. 3.75 crores. The film collected the same amount on Sunday, while on Monday, it crashed and collected a mere Rs. 1 crore. In Hindi, it’ll barely touch the Rs. 20 crore mark in its lifetime. All-India, the film earned Rs. 104.50 crores in all languages, which is too low, considering the mammoth budget.
Now all eyes are on this week’s two releases. The first one is Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos. It is directed by Vir Das and Kavi Shastri and produced by Aamir Khan. Vir also features in the film in the lead role and he’s joined by Mona Singh and Mithila Palkar. The film looks quirky and has adult humour like Delhi Belly. The promo promises a crazy time. Moreover, Aamir Khan also stars in the movie and even Imran Khan has a special appearance.
However, the trailer has not worked while the songs failed to be chartbusters. Hence, the interest of the audience is minimal. Moreover, it’s a film which would only appeal to the urban class. The film is expected to open at Rs. 1 crore at best. With good word of mouth from the target audience in urban cities, it might see a huge jump on Saturday and Sunday.
The other release of the week is Rahu Ketu. It brings back the Fukrey pair of Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma and also features Shalini Pandey and Chunky Panday. Again, just like Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos, the trailer and songs of Rahu Ketu haven’t left a mark.
Since Rahu Ketu looks more mainstream, it should hopefully open better than the other film and collect Rs. 1-2 crores.
