Yuvvraaj disappointed , thrown out of theatres

Yuvvraaj | Katrina Kaif | Salman Khan | Bollywood Videos | Hot N Spicy

Subhash Ghai's latest offering, Yuvvraaj has been one helluva disappointing film. The film not only opened to a below average response in the multiplexes, it also got a severe thrashing by the critics. The word of mouth spread about the film was completely negative. A lot was expected from the real life jodi – Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif having being paired romantically first time together but their on screen chemistry appeared completely thanda.

Industry trade sources tell us, "The film opened to 30-40% in all the major multiplexes on Friday but the collections actually dropped down further as Sunday came. Then on Monday it went lower to a poor 20-25%. Later, as the week progressed one saw just 30-40 people patronizing its show in most of the multiplexes. At some places even in big cities, the response dwindled so low that the multiplexes were left with no option but cancel some of Yuvvraaj's shows."
"Salman's last project, God Tussi Great Ho had met with almost a similar fate and it was necessary for him to deliver a hit in Yuvvraaj. But more than him it is the showman to be blamed for disappointing everybody, including Salman. It is learnt that some portions of the movie have been re-edited. But now it's too late!" the source further added.

Salman gets serious

Bollywood’s bad boy Salman Khan has not had a rosy year in Bollywood. Starting from Saawariya in late 2007, all of the actor’s films have crashed at the box office. Normally not known to go all out and market his film, Khan is now said to be taking a lot of care as far as Yuvvraaj is concerned.

A source close to the actor says that Khan used to initially spend only a few days just before the release of his films, but now he is planning an entire session to interact with the media at various intervals.

"Salman is a person who never goes to depression but as almost all his films this year have not done well. So now he is giving his time for the promotion of Yuvvraaj,” says a source.

The actor will be going on various reality shows in the next two weeks for the promotion of Yuvvraaj. He will also be giving numerous press and media interviews to ensure that he can bring people to the theatres to see his film.

“People love Salman even if his film is a flop. But this is the first time he is being paired opposite Katrina and so he is quite confident of it working for his audiences. And so he is going all out to promote his next release,” says the source.

Yuvvraaj releases on November 21.

200 gowns for Katrina Kaif in Yuvvraaj

Katrina Kaif’s look in forthcoming movie, Subhash Ghai’s ‘Yuvvraaj’ is supposed to be classic and regal.

As such, it required a great deal of effort especially in costume design. So much so, Katrina Kaif who was shooting in Philadelphia , U.S., flew down to Delhi. In Delhi, she spent her time trying out a whopping 200 gowns designed by duo Gauri and Nainika.

Katrina Kaif is known to be a perfectionist when it comes to her costumes. Earlier during the shooting of Singh is Kinng, she is believed to have flown down to Dubai to get hold of a particular costume.

In Yuvvraaj she has to be choosy in her costumes as she is cast in a classy and regal image. This means lots of empire line waistlines and Grecian gowns.

Katrina Kaif in the new classy costumes promises to be a treat to watch out for.

Yuvvraaj has already made a 10 crore profit

Indian film industry's original showman Subhash Ghai has reportedly made a huge table profit on his forthcoming film Yuvvraaj, and that too before its release.

It happened like this, Ghai had a deal with Eros International for three films, worth Rs 75 crores. But due to some differences Ghai moved out, and sold the domestic theatrical rights of Yuvvraaj to Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision for Rs 40 crores, making a straight profit of Rs 10 crore on his film made on a budget of Rs 30 crores.

After the promos of Yuvvraaj were aired on satellite channels, there has been considerable interest in the film. Though it was rumoured that Studio 18 wanted to buy the theatrical rights of the film from Ashtavinayak for Rs 60 crore, that does not seem to be the case. Our sources from Studio 18 clarified that "this is not true," as the "business model is entirely different". Studio 18 spokesperson further adds, "We are only interested in World rights, and Yuvvraaj is not being considered."

However, overseas and satellite rights of Yuvvraaj will remain with Eros.

What makes Yuvvraaj such a hot proposition is the Salman-Katrina pairing. After the success of Dus Ka Dum, Salman too is a hot property in India and overseas and Katrina's stocks are already high in India and overseas after she delivered six consecutive hits with Namastey London, Apne, Partner, Welcome, Race and Singh Is Kinng.

Subhash Ghai had signed a three film deal for 75 crore with Eros International. The three films were Bombay To Bangkok, Black & White and Yuvvraaj. Eros International was banking a lot on this movie because Ghai's earlier films Bombay To Bangkok and Black & White didn't do good business. There are all kinds of rumours doing the rounds but it is still not clear, as to what transpired between Eros International and Ghai, which led to this split.

Yuvvraaj stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Zayed Khan, Boman Irani and Mithun Chakraborty. AR Rahman has composed the music while Gulzar has penned the lyrics. The film is slated to be release on November 21.
