The first poster of Omang Kumar’s upcoming movie Sarbjit was launched in the national capital yesterday. The event was attended by actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who plays Sarabjit’s sister Dalbir Kaur in the movie, along with Nitin Gadkari and Amit Shah, eminent politicians from BJP. 
 
First, it was <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Randeep-Hoodas-transformation-for-Sarbjit-would-give-Christian-Bale-some-tough-competition/articleshow/50867953.cms">Randeep Hooda’s look in the movie</a> that had created news, because apparently, Hooda had lost 18kgs for his role in just 28 days. And now, Aishwarya’s de-glam avatar in the movie is creating a stir in the industry, as she looks desolate and yet determined to get her brother back.

The poster shows Rai in spectacles and sporting gray hair, while in the background, we can see Hooda, as Sarbjit, in the prison waiting for justice. 
 The movie has been directed by Mary Kom fame Omang Kumar, and also stars <keyword id="6366549" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Richa-Chadda">Richa Chadda</keyword>, last seen in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Yearender-2015-Best-Bollywood-posters/Masaan/slideshow/50390656.cms">Masaan</a>, as Sarbjit’s wife. 
 
A few months back, a few images showing Aishwarya as Dalbir Kaur had leaked online, but those pics couldn’t give us a clear idea of what her character would be like. Guess, a clear picture is worth more than a thousand words. 
 
Talking of the resemblance that her character from Sarbjit bears to the real Dalbir Kaur, we didn’t find much satisfaction there, and coming from <keyword id="1193899" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Omung-Kumar">Omung Kumar</keyword>, who had successfully transformed Priyanka Chopra into a girl from Mongolian face for playing <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Box-Office-Mary-Kom-Delivers-A-Big-Punch/articleshow/42041970.cms">MC Mary Kom in her biopic</a>, this is a bit disappointing. 
 
Here is how Dalbir Kaur actually looks like. 
 
 
 
Let’s hope that even though her character is not made to look like the real Dalbir Kaur, Aishwarya does justice to her role and we get to see the pain that Dalbir Kaur went through via her expressions.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has never looked so visibly depressed before

The Biopic <keyword id="47387" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Mary-Kom">Mary Kom</keyword>, which stars <keyword id="1655" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Priyanka-Chopra">Priyanka Chopra</keyword>, is all set to hit the box office tomorrow. The movie has been making interesting buzz in the last one month and it is expected to get a good opening at the box office. 
 
As per Joginder Tuteja of Koimoi.com, “Mary Kom can expect footfalls in the range of 50%-60%, though at smaller centers and single screens, it would all boil down to the word of mouth.” 
 
The movie has been declared tax-free in a few cities across the country and that could also benefit this flick’s business. Another advantage for Mary Kom can be that the latest <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> releases like Mardaani and <keyword id="2196546" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Raja-Natwarlal">Raja Natwarlal</keyword> have not managed to get a bumper opening. 
 
In the last a couple of weeks, we have seen Mardani hold on to its ground, thanks to the positive word of mouth publicity. It will not be surprising if Mary Kom, too, finds itself in the same league. 
 The movie is biographical <keyword id="6356028" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sports">sports</keyword> drama based on the life of Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom. It has been directed by Omung Kumar and produced by <keyword id="6358308" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="sanjay-leela-bhansali">Sanjay Leela Bhansali</keyword> along with <keyword id="140091" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Viacom">Viacom</keyword> 18 Motion Pictures. 
 
According to our analysis, we will not be amazed if the movie is able to get in Rs 8-9 crore in the first day itself, and fortifies its business over the weekend and averaging around Rs 30 crore in its first weekend.

Box Office Predictions for Mary Kom

This year, we have seen some very interesting woman-oriented movies being released. This week solo release Priyanka Chopra starrer '<keyword id="47387" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mary-Kom">Mary Kom</keyword>' tried its luck at the box office.

	'Marm Kom' is a biopic; and even from the promos, we could safely make out that Priyanka has worked hard for her look and body. The movie has been directed by debutant director Omung Kumar and it is produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali in association with Viacom 18 Motion Pictures.

	The movie has been made with a budget of Rs 37 crore and managed to get 1,500 screens.

	The Friday collections of the movie were promising as it managed to earn a total of Rs 8.5 crore. Over the weekend, it collected around Rs 8.8 crore on Saturday and Rs 11.05 crore on Sunday, taking its total weekend collection to Rs 28.27 crore.
 It is noteworthy, that none of the other woman-oriented films in this year, namely Rani Mukerji starrer '<keyword id="1633187" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mardaani">Mardaani</keyword>' or Kangana Ranaut’s '<keyword id="6377522" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="queen">Queen</keyword>' <a href="http://boxofficecollection.in/trade-database-records">could manage such a positive opening</a>. 'Mardaani' had garnered Rs 14.46 crore in its first weekend at the box office while 'Queen' had grossed Rs 10 crore in the same period of time.

	'Mary Kom' is being appreciated by the junta and the critics, and hopefully the movie will continue to go strong over the week with this positive word of mouth. Another factor that is going in favour of 'Mary Kom' is that it has been declared tax free in some places in the country.

	Meanwhile last week’s release 'Raja Natwarlal' failed to rule at the box office. In its first week, the movie had accumulated only Rs 25.88 crore (all figures are from <a href="http://boxofficecollection.in/">Box Office Collection</a>).

Box Office: Mary Kom Delivers A Big Punch!

The trailer of Mary Kom fame director Omung Kumar’s next directorial venture, <keyword id="6472960" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sarbjit">Sarbjit</keyword>, is out, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Based on the life (and death) of Indian inmate <keyword id="168716" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sarbjit-Singh">Sarbjit Singh</keyword> Attwal in a Pakistani jail, the movie stars <keyword id="16675" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Randeep-Hooda">Randeep Hooda</keyword>, <keyword id="62992" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="richa-chaddha">Richa Chaddha</keyword>, and in what should have been her comeback, <keyword id="6366471" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aishwarya-Rai">Aishwarya Rai</keyword> Bachchan. 
 
The story of an Indian farmer Sarbjit Singh, who was accused of being an Indian spy and was locked in Pakistan jails for 23 years, is an emotional one for sure, and it goes without saying that the director would have required the perfect mixture of expressions and emotions for this story to look real on screen, and by the looks of it, Kumar has managed to do just that. 
 
The trailer starts with <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Aishwarya-Rai-Bachchan-as-Dalbir-Kaur-in-Sarbjit/articleshow/51209005.cms">Dalbir </a>(played by Rai) frantically looking for her brother in the fields of Punjab, who, unbeknownst to her, has been locked inhumanely in a sweatbox, suggestively in Pakistan. Right then comes the flashback, showing Dalbir in all her glory, living a good life with his happy-go-lucky brother Sarbjit (Hooda), his wife Sukhpreet (Chaddha) and his kids. 
 
In Pakistan, Sarbjit is accused of being a terrorist responsible for five bomb blasts, and is given the name of Manjit Singh, to which he very painfully shouts and disagrees. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Randeep-Hoodas-look-for-Sarbjit/articleshow/50867953.cms">Commendable job</a> there, Hooda. 
 
When Dalbir comes to know that her brother has been sentenced to death, she starts her battle for justice, which goes on for more than two decades, during which Sarbjit is shown to have been tortured, living in a small cell. The scene where he is seen complaining about him having to eat, sleep, and relieve himself all in one place tells us how difficult it is for prisoners like him, who are not even considered to be humans by the authorities. 
 Enters <keyword id="2475899" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Darshan-Kumar">Darshan Kumar</keyword>, who impressed everyone with his role of a selfless husband wanting to see his wife make her dreams come true in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Box-Office-Mary-Kom-Delivers-A-Big-Punch/articleshow/42041970.cms">Mary Kom</a>. Playing a Pakistani lawyer who is willing to take up Sarbjit’s case for the sake of humanity, he fits the role to the T. 
 
Red Fort and India Gate serve as the location where Dalbir sits with her entire family and supporters to protest for her brother’s release. We also get to see the emotional reunion of the siblings in the jail, his tiff with other inmates, and the trailer ends with Aishwarya addressing a Pakistani crowd with anger for being, and having always been, back-stabbers. 
 
Obviously, the movie would not release in Pakistan, but some movies are meant to show the truth, and one has to compliment Rai for breathing life in the role of a brave but helpless sister, who in the end, didn’t get the justice she deserved. 
 
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is considered to be one of the most beautiful women on the planet, has often impressed audience and critics with her acting skills, and when she took a five-year long sabbatical to start a family and raise her daughter Aaradhya, it was only a matter of time that she made her comeback and impressed everyone again. 
 
However, her comeback vehicle <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Jazbaa-Official-Trailer-A-Tad-Too-Dramatic-For-A-Thriller/articleshow/48683042.cms">Jazbaa </a>couldn’t do much to bring her back to the hearts and minds of cine-goers, but this movie will prove to be substantial for her career and might reestablish her image as one of the leading actresses of India. 
 
Produced by Vashu Bhagnani and Bhushan Kumar, the movie releases on 20th May 2016.
