Is it a wise decision to have released Dhamaal 4 this week, considering the fact that another mad hatter comedy, Welcome To The Jungle, was released only two weeks back?
– It may not be the wisest decision to bring a film of the same genre — that too, a crazy comedy — just two weeks after a film in that genre was released. But with so many films lined up for release, it is not always possible to have a release date which suits the film cent per cent. Releasing DHAMAAL 4 two weeks after WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE is at least better than releasing both the films in the same week! Sometimes, two films of the same genre are pitted against one another in the same week.
How do you think will Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups open?
– It may take an earth-shattering start.
Vvan has been postponed to avoid the clash with Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups (dubbed) in the last week of August. You had predicted this in this very column last week. How did you know that this would happen?
– It is not an intelligent move to release three big films in the same week. Since TOXIC was to come with VVAN and EETHA, it was a foregone conclusion that either EETHA or VVAN would be pushed ahead. And, as expected, VVAN has been postponed.
