According to early estimates, Shuddh Desi Romance made a business of 4.50-4.75 crores yesterday, taking its domestic total to 27.50-27.75 crores at the Box Office.

The movie was earlier released on 1050 screens, however, due to a dull response coming from Zanjeer, which too released with SDR but on a larger scale, many distributors across the country had to replace the later with Shuddh Desi Romance. This helped the movie to pick up further indeed!

Amidst a flurry of heavy promotional sprees ensuring their film gets noticed everywhere, Grand Masti makers have landed into a new trouble altogether. The Indianised version of an American Pie and Boogie Nights inspired sex comedy, Grand Masti, needless to say, is filled with lots of adulterated jokes and toiler humour.

A promo that almost caused a sensation taking the cheeky double meanimg dialogue status to an all time high with references as unccoth and derogatory as a doodh ki factory or a condom with a kela, Inder Kumar’s revamped edition brings back three friends Vivek, Aftab and Ritesh back to their college reunion where their sexcapades run high.

While the trio are busy trying the bahar ka biryani more than the ghar ki daal chaawal, the total encounters with Rose-Mary-Marlow (we know what you are thinking!) keep their rockets flying high up (winks). But all this extra dose of sexual perversion and double meaning cheap jokes has just added to the makers’ dilemmas.

According to reports, a lawyer has filed a petition against the film and its makers accusing the film of containing cheap adult content that are derogatory to the status quo of women in India. As a result of which, Grand Masti might not see a release in the states of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. Tagging the content of the sequel to the 2004 hit Masti ‘obscene and degrading’, the lawyer has also referred to the Central Board of Film Certification to reconsider their decision of releasing the film worldwide. Earlier films like Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum and its predecessor Kya Kool Hai Hum had also set a benchmark for cracking us up with sexual PJs as we laughed it out altogether.

The film is all set for a September 13 release and the hype around the film is somewhat positive, given the theme of the film being a catchpoint to attract masses to the cinema theatres. Now all that needs to be seen is how the Grand Masti team actually battles it out to have a proper release in these hostile regions as well. And if not, how would this negative publicity affect the collections of the film. Grand Masti stars Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani and Ritesh Deshmukh in the lead along with six other heroines who trudge form the pretty to the bombshell

Koimoi’s Take On Zanjeer Case: An Alarming Tale Of Misplaced Morals

It comes across as quite a shock that copyright infringement issues are dealt with loosely in the Indian scenario. With reference to the case on Zanjeer by the original script’s writers Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan, the court has refused the stay order on the film. Made originally by Prakash Mehra, the writer duo claimed that Mehra had taken permission to use their script once only. On the same grounds the writers had qualms, that a distant kin of Mehra is remaking a film based on one of Amitabh Bachchan’s most iconic films!

It is quite shameful that there is such little respect for creative property in our country. Zanjeer‘s makers, despite being aware that the script writers of the original script has issues with their film being remade still decided to carry forward with is alarmingly shocking.

The entire point of a remake is perhaps giving tribute to a work of art that the film maker has taken a liking to out of great love and respect. But it is somehow hard to find out how the makers of this edition of Zanjeer are ‘respecting’ the writers of the script they have decided to work on, by miffing them.

However, the writer duo of Khan and Akhtar aren’t flawless either. The film’s making was in rounds since 2011 and they did not object till mid-2012. The delay here has caused them harm on the legal front.

The fact remains that the team associated with Zanjeer 2013 has least regard for the work of two of Bollywood’s most distinguished film writers. In the end, the film is based on Salim-Javed’s script and making a film on it without their permission itself is a brash and irreverent move. A film belongs to its writers more than anyone else and at any point they must have possess the immediate intellectual rights on the property they has toiled to create.

Bollywood anyway has little regard for originality and fresh cinematic vision, but it is sad that the makers of this film were compelled to work on a film against the wishes of those without whom the film wouldn’t have seen the light of the day! Zanjeer 2013 amist all the pomp and show has its morals misplaced!

Ranbir-Shahid To Go The Aamir-Salman Way For Andaz Apna Apna Sequel?

Deemed as one of Bollywood’s most impressive comic capers, talks about the sequel of Andaz Apna Apna has been doing rounds for a while now. However, with Rajkumar Santoshi readying to release next next film Phata Poster Nikhla Hero starring Shahid Kapoor and Ileana D’Cruz, there is also fleeting news that the director might shift his focus on Andaz Apna Apna 2 soon after.

Ranbir Kapoor And Shahid Kapoor

To make the sequel more commercially viable, the director is looking to loop in younger stars. A leading daily reported that Santoshi is considering Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor for the roles that Aamir Khan and Salman Khan have immortalized as Amar and Prem. Rajkumar Santoshi has worked with Ranbir previously in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani that did fairly well the box office and he seems adequately satisfied with Shahid’s work in Phata Poster Nikhla Hero as well.

However, nothing official has been announced yet as the director has immersed himself in promoting his upcoming flick PPNH and will look into the final script and casting of Andaz Apna Apna only after that!
