Bang Bang Vs Haider
Fox Star Studios has a reason to celebrate this festive weekend as its October 2 release Bang Bang raked in Rs 27.54 crore at the domestic box office on the opening day. The Hrithik Roshan-Katrina Kaif starrer opened its box office campaign to 85-90 per cent occupancy on Thursday.
Bang Bang now has the double distinction of being this year's third highest opener behind Singham Returns and Kick and Roshan's best opener yet. The actor's previous best was the 2013 flick Krrish 3, which made its box office debut with Rs 25.5 crore. Bang Bang was released in 4,000 screens in India, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The south Indian versions have contributed an estimated Rs 1.25 crore to the total collection.
Bang Bang, directed by Siddharth Anand, has also earned itself a place on the top five movie openings of all time in Bollywood, joining Dhoom 3, Chennai Express, Ek Tha Tiger and Singham Returns.
UTV Studios' Haider opened to Rs 6.14 crore collections at the
domestic box office, and early reports on Friday indicated the movie is
holding steady despite Dussera. The first day collection, analysts say,
has actually surpassed expectations, considering Haider has a niche appeal and has been released in fewer screens.
The movie, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, is directed
and co-produced by Vishal Bharadwaj, and casts Shahid Kapoor in the
titular role alongside Tabu, Kay Kay Menon, Irrfan Khan and Shraddha
Kapoor.
Review: Bang Bang music is entertaining
Some classy music here, writes Joginder Tuteja.
Director Siddharth Anand and music composers Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani raise the bar with Bang Bang's soundtrack. Ever since they came together for Salaam Namaste, they have provided classy entertainment.
Vishal Dadlani, Anvita Dutt and Kumaar contribute to the lyrics.
Tu Meri is one of the best songs released recently. It's
quite a tease -- the song starts slowly, picks up after 20 seconds,
slows down again, and then picks up momentum again. This continues for
most of the four-minute piece.
It has a retro charm as well, and is a dance number for costars Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif.
The softer Meherbaan is a complete contrast. If you liked Khuda Jaane (Bachne Ae Haseeno), you will love this one.
Shilpa Rao, who has sung both songs, is in her element here. But
someone other than Ash King would have been a better choice for
Hrithik's voice.
Shekhar’s 'reprise version' is one you will want to play in loop. Excellent!
The opening bars of Uff remind you of the opening of Subah Hone Na De (Desi Boyz).
But the similarity ends there, as Harshdeep Kaur goes on to render this
sweet-n-simple number with a childlike innocence, almost like a nursery
rhyme.
The song has some good twists and turns that ensure that in the action-packed narrative of Bang Bang, you won't mind the kind of 'thehrav' that Harshdeep and Benny Dayal bring to the song.
The title song arrives towards the end. Benny Dayal and Neeti Mohan make sure that the fun element is kept intact with Bang Bang. This dance number reminds one of the late 1970s/early 1980s Western pop scene.
The echo effect is reminiscent of that as well and while this
easy-on-the- ears number is quintessentially Vishal-Shekhar, the real
surprise arrives a minute into the song.
This is the point where the composers showcase the kind of magic they
are capable of creating. It is wonderful to see them delivering a good
dance floor number with chartbuster potential.
My only regret is that the album has just five songs. Just when one
begins to warm up to the proceedings, the soundtrack comes to an end.
But the musical team have created enough good numbers to entertain us.
Bang Bang dare: Ranveer Singh dances on the road
Ranveer Singh is one of Bollywood's most sporty and enthusiastic actors. He
