 Wednesday, Oct 16 2013, 04:30 PM

Sushant Singh Rajput is reportedly on a stupendous high after his recent films 'Kai Po Che' and 'Shuddh Desi Romance' performed well at the box office. With huge success, the scarcity of time factor has come along for Sushant. It is quite evident too as he has gone ahead and refused to work in his mentor Abhishek Kapoor’s ‘Fitoor’, opposite Katrina Kaif.

The reason for declining Abhishek’s ‘Fitoor’ is because of clash with another of Sushant’s project with Shekhar Kapur which is based on the global water crisis situation.

A close source revealed -  "Sushant went to meet Abhishek this week to request him to shift the shooting dates of Fitoor. The dates were locked for the middle of next year. Gattu turned down the request and told Sushant that no date changes will happen now. He told him very clearly that if he does not want to work with Katrina, another actor will happily fill his place."

Meanwhile, a leading tabloid recently reported that Sushant is going to perform in Manali on the coming new year’s eve and is charging Rs.1 crore as remuneration.

1st Day Box Office Early Trend Of BOSS

Wednesday, 16th October 12:00 PM IST






BOSS TAKES A Fairly Good Start At Box Office




After few not so good results at box office, Akshay Kumar is back in action, literally at box office. His latest offering 'Boss' has taken a thunderous start at box office and today being a national holiday in many parts, film looks to score big on day one.

Film is superb in north especially in NCR and Punjab. Film is also decent in Mumbai, CI and CP. Film will see further jumps in evening and by the end of the day this initial occupancy should rise form 45-55% to 85-90%. Film has also received fairly decent reviews which should further propel film at box office.


As per the early trends, film should surpass 16-18 cr nett at minimum and now even 23-25 cr nett does not look out of the reach. Anything below this will be a disappointment for the film.

Movie Review: BOSS Is A Showcase Of Akshay Kumar, The Entertainer

Tuesday, 15th October 10:50 PM IST






BOSS Is A Showcase Of Akshay Kumar, The Entertainer


Box Office Rating:
4/5

Critics Rating:
3.5/5


Akshay Kumar misfired with OUATIMD in is last outing. Couple of films like 'Special Chabbis' and 'Khiladi 786' also failed to ignite box office unlike 'Rowdy Rathore'. On top of that 'Boss' director Anthony D' Souza had delivered disaster 'Blue' few years back starring Akshay only.

'Boss' is a remake of south hit film but that does not guarantee an exceptional storyline. That is the case with the film. It has a wafer thin plot, a father (Mithun) and his two sons (Akshay & Shiv) - one righteous and one gunda! Cop Ayushman Thakur ( Ronit Roy) is after Boss (Akshay Kumar) because his brother Shiv wants to marry cop's sister Ankita (Aditi Rao) On top of that add Tau (Danny) played guru of Boss and cameo friendly Sonakshi SInah in two songs and you have real repetitive plot.


But then the big question is, does film work? Yes, for me Akshay shoulders mammoth responsibility of carrying such a big enterprise with his charisma and complete package. He looks dashing and his action with some real seeti worthy dialogues simply blow you away. Watch out for chase sequence in 2nd half and comic fight at dargah! No script and average direction fail to impact him in this entertaining enterprise. 

All other members of the cast - Aditi Rao, Shiv Pandit, Danny Denzongapa, Parikshit Sahni, Johnny Lever and Mithun just sleepwalk but yes Ronit Roy again look lethal as a baddie cop and enlights every combat against Akshay. Music is big plus as one chartbuster after another keep you hooked. Watch out for 'Hum Na Tode' and 'Party All Night' in 2nd half, mesmerizing!

Sajid - Farhad dialogues are another plus and lift the film few notch. Editing is sleek but camerawork is strictly decent. But its the director Anthony who again fail to justify the product though star Akshay came as savior to save him blues (pun intended) this time around.

Film will take a thunderous opening tomorrow and 5 day holiday boosted weekend will give it good numbers. But the real test will star on Monday and it seems that film will pass it with good enough result.


Go for Akshay Kumar the complete package and you will not be disappointed!
