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 Isha Koppikar's politician avatar in Love You Loktantra
8:45 AM
Set to play a politician in her next, Isha Koppikar says in the new wave of cinema, filmmakers are eager to make projects as authentic as possible
Hiren Kotwani (MID-DAY; August 28, 2022)
Isha Koppikar may have been in the industry for 20 years, but she says it is the kind of content coming out of production houses today that is exciting for working actors. Previously seen in the series, Fixerr, Koppikar is always in search of interesting projects that will release on credible platforms.
In her upcoming release, Abhay Nihalani’s political satire, Love You Loktantra, she plays a politician who aspires to become the chief minister. “I met Abhay ji, and after the narration, I was game for it. [Representation of politics in movies] is similar to the way it is in reality. Filmmakers try to match what happens in politics, off screen. A lot of real-life characters are being depicted on screen, whether in films or web series.”
She, however, adds that while “things are more serious” in politics, her film is a situational comedy.
Nihalani’s directorial venture isn’t the only one on Koppikar’s slate. She also has the web series, Surranga, in her kitty, which revolves around a true incident based on a bank heist. “The show has been so named because when the incident had occurred, some locals had broken into the bank through a tunnel,” says Koppikar, who plays a bank employee in the thriller. She also has the Tamil film, Ayalaan, up for release.
Even though the actor has been juggling several projects, she has her attention trained on her political duties as president of the Bharatiya Janta Party’s women’s transport wing. “I attend the political office once a week, especially when I’m in Mumbai, to understand what I can [do] for women in this area. Being a wife, mother, and woman who is involved in the hospitality business as well, I pick projects that are [worth my while].”
