YOU ASKED IT | 25 May, 2019

Why did last week’s De De Pyaar De not take a flying start, considering that its trailer was being praised be­fore the film’s release?

– It did not take a flying start because its music had not gained much in popularity. Since Ajay Devgan has an action hero’s image, his non-action films like DE DE PYAAR DE need the support of hit music to open big.

What’s the reason for the lacklustre initial of India’s Most Wanted this week?

– Its promotion was not upto the mark – both, qualitatively and quantitatively. The film doesn’t have any noteworthy songs. Also, Arjun Kapoor starrers have not been doing well in recent times and, therefore, the public would rather wait for reports to come before rushing to the cinemas to watch his solo starrer.

Has Sanjay Leela Bhansali post­poned the release of his Malaal?

– Yes, MALAAL will not release on 28th June, as scheduled. For that matter, Karan Johar’s DRIVE will also not come on 28th June as its release also has been postpon­ed.
