Holiday blockbusters of 2015
story
This one line encapsulates the current state of the Hindi film industry perfectly. Cinema is no longer about the art but about the mart. A film’s success is no more about its content but about how much it earned at the box-office. Getting into the 100 crore club has become a passé. It’s the 200 crore and 300 crore clubs which are ruling the marquee. With so much attention on the numbers, filmmakers and stars are going all out to outdo each other. Their only aspirations are to beat the opening records of others. And what better way to ensure a fantastic opening than releasing your films during the holiday period. History is testimony to the fact that Republic Day, Independence Day, Eid, Gandhi Jayanti, Diwali and Christmas are the best time to release films. National holiday all over the country ensure that theatres get heavy footfalls. Take for instance last year – Kick (Eid), Singham Returns (Independence Day), Bang Bang and Haider (Gandhi Jayanti), Happy New Year (Diwali), PK (Christmas) – All of them were blockbusters. This year too a host of biggies are lined up in the Holiday period. Take a look…
If there’s one thing which is synonymous to Eid in India, it’s a Salman Khan film. No better way to celebrate the end of Ramadan that whistling and hooting for ‘Bhai’ as he takes of his shirt and fights the goons. This year, Salman is back with Kabir Khan who has given him a huge Eid blockbuster in the past. Ek Tha Tiger, released in 2012, was a box-office juggernaut minting close to Rs. 200 crore. 2015 looks no different. Salman is set to show his star power once again with Bajrangi Bhaijan. He’ll be seen romancing the beautiful Kareena Kapoor Khan and by the looks of it, the film will be one smash
