BOLLYWOOD : 7 months and not even 7 hits!!! WTF #

Well lets talk about bollywood. This is the 7 th month of the year in running and if we would like to count the hit films of the year till now, then we can name only a few films. the year started pretty dull with B grade movies like "Manthan... Ek kashmakash" in the opening week. Unfortunately for the producer, the movie which targeted the piracy menace was not even touched by the pirates. The following week saw two well hyped movies releasing Rajkumar santoshi's Ajay Devgan Starrer 'Halla Bol' and E niwas's ' My name is Anthony Gonsalves'. While the Halla was lost in somewhere and the whole pre release chit chat about the debutant Nikhil Dwiwedi being shahrukh Khan duplicate went unnoticed by the audience. The coming week is of only SUNDAY. Yes it was an average flick from Ajay Devgan which did a little business in metros. Producer Kumar Mangat can write it in his profit Diary. Though Movie buffs didnt take much interest in it. In this month some Experiments were also in air as Brilliant Director Nagesh Kukunoor experimented in making romantic comedy and came up with 'Bombay to Bangkok'. But Viewers refused such a boring and long travel and the film resulted as a flop. The whole January passed but ALAS!!!! No hit... unlike Jan 2007 when the years biggest hit GURU was released.
February was blessed by a few hits which can be listed in biggest hits of the year. To name some there was 'Mithya' which drew some crowd and gathered a very good critics attention. Delayed due to various reason the month also saw the release of much awaited ' Jodha Akbar'. This epic love story between King Akbar and Jodha Bai was the head turner. The film not only was the first hit of the year but also it was the most debated film of the year. Because of the screenplay of the film the Rajput community protested against it and that is why theaters in U.P. and Rajasthan could not run it. Despite that it was a hit. As I said above this was the month of experiments, there came another experiment of showman Subhash Ghai as " Black and White'. This Anil Kapoor and debutant Anurag Sinha starrer that revolves around a suicide bomber got mixed reviews and no audience. And the following week saw one of the biggest hits of the year so far - Race. Race was a pretty big hit. It got one of the best openings in recent times. The fim collected around 60 crores. The rest of the month saw mediocre fares like 'One two' three'.
April was by far the funniest month of the year. After 4 years Samar khan came with 'Shaurya'. The low cost movie recovered its price. But trade punditsrule out that it was a hit. And then comes the big date for YRF and they come up with WTF of the year that was 'TASHAN'. Starred by Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali khan, Anil Kaporr and Kareena Kapoor sank without a trace. This gave akshay his first flop in more than two years. Even Kareena's Bikini could not allure the audience. So people the year got its biggest flop with it. This month the film with three Item songs but named KRAZZY 4 also went unnoticed. Then comes a film which was though noticed but was a flop. Ajay Devgan's Directorial debut 'U, Me and Hum' was a nicely paked melodramatic and funny entertaining kind of film, but luck was not in favour of ajay and the film sank. And guess what another hit of the month was not from bollywood. Yups it was 'Khuda ke Liye' which drew not only critics comments but also audience. In May Bhatt camp was badly in need of a hit and got it in the form of "jannat'. Imran hashmi starrer and Directorial debut of Kunal Deshmukh clubbed cricket, romance, crime, fixing and above all great music trapped audienc. But another debutant Mimoh Mithun Chakraborty's 'Jimmy' was a big flop. The same month also saw another new comer Sikandar Kher making his debut with Hansal Mehta's Woodstock Villa. Then comes Amitabh Bachchan's Bhootnath. It was appreciated by kids. June the last month for the first half saw the comeback of Ramu. After being burnt by AAG.....(another WTF) he comes up with so called Sequel of SARKAR with the name 'SARKAR RAAJ' . Starring Big and small b and the newbie in their house Aish , the film did quite well in multiplexes. This month came as a surprise was Rajeev Khandelwal starrer 'AAMIR'. Directorial debut of Raj Kumar Gupta, not only got critics attention but also gave girl fans of rajeev a sigh of relief that their hero's film was a hit. And then YRF's another mistake of the year was a big flop in the form of 'THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC' . Kunal kohli this time could not repeat the magic of HUM TUM even though he tried it with the name. Well second half has been started and there are hopes still alive because, A few weeks ago bollywood saw a cool breeze in the form of Jaane tu ya Jaane na. there are some highly awaited films coming up like 'Singh is King' , 'Bachna Ae haseeno', Ghajini, Rab ne Bana di Jodi, Yuvraj and Dostana. Lets wait and watch.........
