March is still far away but the mercury is already rising with the
official trailer of
Ragini MMS 2 doing the rounds on the Internet and even on adult sites. This upcoming horror-thriller (to be released on March 21), the sequel to the 2011
horror flick Ragini MMS, has
Sunny Leone in the lead and that, of course, is making all the difference. Directed by
Bhushan Patel and co-produced by
Ekta Kapoor and
Shobha Kapoor, this movie begins from where the earlier one left off. In the first flick, a couple goes to a secluded place to spend a fun weekend and the boy intends to make an MMS of the whole thing. But due to ghostly interventions, he gets killed and the girl manages to escape, but she is now a nervous wreck.
Ragini MMS 2 kicks off from here but we still don’t know much about the storyline at this stage. As per some reports, a movie-maker has now decided to make a film based on the earlier incident and casts a
Bollywood actress (Sunny Leone) to play the lead role. But when the shooting starts in the haunted house, all hell breaks lose.
The theatrical trailer of
Ragini MMS 2 has hit the Internet on Monday (February 3) and last we checked, it was trending on Google with 20,000-plus searches. But we are not too impressed by the promo where Sunny Leone, the Indo-Canadian adult film star-turned-Bollywood
actress, struts around in the skimpiest of outfits and the background looks suitably eerie. The other attraction of the sex-horror flick is
Chaar Bottle Vodka, the new song from
Ragini MMS 2 that features
Yo Yo Honey Singh and Sunny Leone. But sadly, the song is not there in the promo.
Jai Ho makes the cut
Now that we have our fill of thrill, here is another piece of exciting news. Salman Khan-starrer
Jai Ho (earlier called
Mental), which was released on January 24, has finally entered the
Rs 100 crore club, collecting Rs 102.58 crore nett at home after 10 days. That’s a crawl, to say the least, compared to Aamir’s action-thriller
Dhoom 3 that amassed Rs 170 crore-plus just after the first weekend, with nearly Rs 63 crore coming from the overseas markets.
“#JaiHo actuals Week 1 – 88.78 cr, Wknd 2 – 13.80 cr. Grand total: 102.58 cr nett. India biz only. Figures confirmed by Eros,” tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Globally, however, the flick has done well, especially in the UAE-GCC region, Pakistan and USA-Canada. Bollywoodhungama estimated the first weekend overseas gross at $3.55 million while
Box Office India estimated it at $3.45 million. Interestingly,
Jai Ho is the fourth biggest overseas opener for a
Salman Khan starrer-film.
