Why did this week’s Mission Raniganj not open to at least decent houses?
– Its promotion was so low-key that awareness about its release was low. Hence it couldn’t have taken a good start. Besides, Akshay Kumar has been going through a rough patch as far as his career is concerned. The success of the recent OMG 2 is, in the public minds, not exactly the success of an Akshay starrer because he didn’t play the main lead in it.
There was a time when love stories made by established banners and introducing newcomers were eagerly awaited by the public and hence took good openings when they were released. But Rajshri’s love story, Dono, with two newcomers in the lead roles, has not opened well this week. Any reason?
– Generally speaking, only those films open well which become ‘hot’ in people’s minds after their trailers are released and/or if their songs become hits. Nothing of the sort happened with DONO. So there seemed to be no reason for the public to rush to the cinemas to watch DONO on the opening day.
What did you think of the Animal trailer?
– Very interesting, engaging and entertaining!
