We have never seen a June like this before. No, we are not talking about the temperatures that refuse to go down. It is rather the mercury at the box office that is set to soar like we have never seen before in the month of June. And what else do we have to thank or blame for this but the IPL. Now that Goliath is out of the way the movies are going to turn their full
Sarkar Raj
blast onto their target audiences and what a month we are about to have, and things don’t end with June, the flow does not seem to stop till Diwali.
First up we have Sarkar Raj hitting theaters this Friday. Ramgopal Verma quite wisely held up his sequel till the IPL was over and done with. The film does look the turbulent sort that the first part of the series was and knowing what the movie is going to look and feel like it would not be wise to expect fireworks at the box office. After all, intense political dramas are not the most popular of genres.
Then, there is the king of all releases- Dasavatharam. Now, we don’t want to talk too much about it a
nd spoil the fun. It will be great and you have got to enjoy it in theaters. Then, in the early days of July, two debutants with very strong backing will face off on the same Friday. Harman Baweja, son of big producer Harry Baweja in Love Strory 2050 and Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran Khan with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Both are completely different in look and feel even though they are basically love stories and this might help them easily coexist at the box office. There is also the action adventure Hijack that is lined up.
Follow that up in August with the Salman Khan, Amitabh starrer comedy God Tussi Great Ho in which the Big B reportedly plays God (like Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty or Prakash Raj in Arai en…). There is also the big budget action flick Mission Istanbul that is ready to hit theaters in August.
Then come the real biggies. Abhishek Bachchan’s Drona, Sanjay Gandhvi’s (Dhoom fame) Kidnap and Aamir Khan’s Ghajini that are all set for a simultaneous release on October 2. Common sense and wisdom suggest that this three pronged clash may not materialize but you never know with Bollywood.
