YOU ASKED IT | 2 August, 2024

Of the three films due for release on 15th August, which will take the best opening?

– In my opinion, the initial of STREE 2 will be the best. That’s because not only is the trailer wonderful but brand STREE is also huge as the first part was a big hit.

How will Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa release on 15th August? The trailers of both the films were just released. Isn’t it too small a time frame between the date of release of the first trailer and the release date of the film?

– Agreed, it is too short a time frame, but there’s no sacrosanct rule. In the case of KHEL KHEL MEIN, trailers of two songs (Hauli hauli and Dur na karin) were released before the film’s trailer which is due to be released today (2nd August). As for VEDAA, the undue delay in the film’s censorship must’ve thrown the promotional plans into disarray. Its trailer was released yesterday (1st August).

With the kind of advance booking which Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha generated before its release, don’t you think, it would’ve been better had it released on 5th July, as originally scheduled?

– But nobody knew in July that AMKDT would take such a dull initial in August. The film had not generated heat in July, and not much changed thereafter. Incidentally, the postponement of the release AMKDT was not because the film had not become the first choice of the public but rather because of poor showcasing it was going to get, thanks to the runaway success of KALKI 2898 AD which had released a week earlier (on 27th June).
