10 FILM RELEASES THIS WEEK; ONLY DUBBED KANNADA FILM HAS CHANCE TO SUCCEED
The pre-Diwali week has always been a dry period for movies as people are busy with shopping, house cleaning and other such activities. Yet, this Friday, as many as ten major films will be released in theatres. Sadly, 9 out of these 10 movies stand little chance to excel, though the two major Hindi releases might surprise if the content is strong.
DOCTOR G: It stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Rakul Preet Singh and Shefali Shah and is a story of a reluctant gynaecologist. It is right up Ayushmann’s alley as it speaks about a taboo topic in a light-hearted manner. However, unlike other films of Ayushmann Khurrana, Doctor G is an adult-rated film. In fact, this is his first A-rated film ever! This and minimal hype will result in poor collections on day 1, in the range of around Rs. 70 lakhs-Rs. 1 crore. The collections might get better if public reports are positive.
CODE NAME TIRANGA: After The Girl In The Train, Parineeti Chopra and director Ribhu Dasgupta reunite once again for this spy thriller. The film was shot in secrecy during the second wave, in Turkey. The trailer did surprise many as no one expected it to be such a slick action film. But the promotions have been poor and on the ground, many are not even aware that it’s releasing tomorrow. Hence, its opening will be poor, in the range of Rs. 50 lakhs. The ticket prices in most cinemas are a maximum Rs. 150 and it might help to a small extent.
KANTARA: It is originally a Kannada film which released in cinemas on September 30 and became a surprise blockbuster. Even in a city like Mumbai, it did well. This prompted the producers, Hombale Films of KGF fame, to dub the film in Hindi. There’s already a lot of hype and curiosity surrounding this movie. Hence, it might take the best opening tomorrow. Just like Code Name Tiranga, Kantara’s Hindi version will also have tickets priced at Rs. 150.
CHHELLO SHOW (LAST FILM SHOW): It is a Gujarati film which is India’s official entry to the Oscars. It has some chances in Gujarat and Mumbai city. The makers have released the film in 95 screens and on Friday, they have priced the tickets for just Rs. 95! During the rest of the week, one can watch this film for just Rs. 150.
AYE ZINDAGI: It stars Revathy, Satyajeet Dubey and Mrinmayee Godbole. Revathy has also directed the movie which is inspired by a touching true incident. It’s a very niche movie and will find few takers sadly. On Book My Show, one can get one ticket free on every ticket. Since the offer hasn’t been promoted well, not many are aware.
MODI JI KI BETI: The concept of this film is very interesting. But due to the absence of a popular star cast, it’ll sink without a trace.
That’s not all. Love You Loktantra, Jaggu Ki Lalten, Kahani Rubber Band Ki and Mid Day Meeal will also hit cinemas and these films will struggle to find an audience.

Check out Pratik Gandhi as a lawyer in the upcoming film Kahani Rubber Band Ki

Makers of Kahani Rubber Band Ki, which is ready for release, on how Pratik Gandhi juggled the film with the shoot of Scam 1992
Upala KBR (MID-DAY; January 20, 2022)
Pratik Gandhi quickly followed up the raging success of Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story by bagging interesting projects in Bollywood, including Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan? opposite Taapsee Pannu and a yet-untitled rom-com with Vidya Balan. But not many know that another Gandhi-starrer, Kahani Rubber Band Ki, is ready and eyeing a release. Debutant director Sarika Sanjot says that the actor had simultaneously shot for the film and Hansal Mehta’s web series, wrapping up the former just before the first wave of the Coronavirus pandemic hit.
The social drama, which highlights the importance of using condoms, also features television actors Manish Raisinghan and Avika Gor. “Pratik plays Manish’s lawyer and friend. He was the perfect fit for the role. When Pratik hears the script, he asks questions about his character and gives inputs, but leaves the final call to the director. When you give his scene to him, he doesn’t require rehearsals. He takes only 15 minutes before the shot to become the character. He was shooting Scam 1992 at the time and knew that it would do well; despite that, he was so humble,” says Sanjot, who has also written and co-produced the movie.
While the film was initially slated to hit theatres in March 2020, the pandemic played spoilsport. Co-producer Naresh Dudani says, “We wanted to have a theatrical release, but now, we may not have a choice as everything is so unpredictable [due to the third wave].”
The makers are now contemplating an OTT premiere for the film, which will be Gandhi’s second Bollywood release after Bhavai (2021). The director adds, “We completed the post-production through the lockdown and are now looking at an OTT release.”
