Hot Sonaskhi Sinha's second film seemed to be racing towards the Rs 100 Cr mark say industry pundits. In fact the top two in the Bollywood records are Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots and Salman Khan’s Dabang and the latest gossip is that Rowdy Rathore is to join the league. Incidentally Sonakshi is considered as the lucky mascot for the Bollywood industry say pundits as her debut film Dabang is already in the league.
However Rowdy Rathore's unexpected huge openings across the country and globally, especially during the non-festive season also play a positive signal for the film. The film is being made in Tamil with Ilayathalapathi Vijay donning the role. Infact Vijay does a cameo for the Hindi version.
The Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi directed by Prabhu Deva has hit the front benchers and the elite circle alike was a remake of a Telugu film Vikramarkudu directed by the commercial monarch Rajamouli. The film was an outright masala mix evenly spread across the film. UTV and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ROWDY RATHORE co-produced by Shabina Khan grossed in Fri 15.1 Cr, Sat 14.7 Cr, Sun 18.5 Cr, Mon 9.5 Cr +. Total: 57.8 Cr + nett, in the first four days say trade analysts.
What does on expect Siddharth Roy Kapoor, MD Studios, Disney UTV Motion Pictures to say but thanks. The thrilled Kapoor exclaimed, "We are thrilled with the incredible opening day collections of ROWDY RATHORE across the length and breadth of India. ROWDY RATHORE has notched up the 3rd 'Biggest Opening Day Of All Time' and the 'Biggest Non Holiday Opening Day of All Time'. It is also Akshay Kumar's Biggest Opening Day Ever. All of us - UTV, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha and of course Prabhu Dheva are immensely thankful to audiences for helping this film to rewrite box office history." The perfect blend of action, drama and humour, besides a good performance by Akshay Kumar and the latka-jhatkas of chirpy Sonakshi make this picture a delightful movie watching experience.
