As in almost every Diwali, we see two or three movies released on the same day in a battle at the box office. This year will be no different. T-Series production 'Kajraare' starring Himesh Reshammiya as the lead is going to be a Diwali release. The musical directed by Pooja Bhatt also starring Pakistani beauty Mona Laizza is slated to release on October 16 clashing with two big budget releases - Hrithik Roshan's 'Kites' and Ajay Devgan's home production 'All The Best' starring Ajay along with Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan and Bipasha Basu.
'Kajraare' is a love story set in the picturesque locales of Jordan and Dubai and is reportedly a remake of Mahesh Bhatt's Pooja Bhatt-Sanjay Dutt starrer 'Sadak'. The music of the film has been scored by non other than Himesh himself. Just like he did for his blockbuster 'Aap Kaa Surroor - The Movie' and the flop 'Karzzzz', Himesh will be doing three jobs: actor, music director, and singer. 'Kajraare' was in the news a few months back ago over the producers of T-Series cutting costs after the Himesh starrer 'Karzzzz' bombed at the box office. But later it turned out to be just a rumor as the producers denied any such thing.
A trade analyst informs, "If Himesh wants to resurrect his acting career after a mega debacle like 'Karzzzz' he needs to plan out well the release of his next film. Diwali time is traditionally known to be the most lucrative time for big releases but if Himesh's film clashes with big ticket films starring much bigger A-list stars then getting a decent opening for his film will be a far fetched dream. If the makers insist on a Diwali day release then I would term it a professional hara-kiri."
'Kites' which was viewed at the Cannes Film Festival, has been well received by audiences at the event.
So Desi Hits! Readers, which film do you think will do well, 'All The Best', 'Kajraare' or 'Kites'? Give us your opinion on this upcoming battle of the box office.
