Whenever the duo of <keyword id="6357912" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="amitabh-bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</keyword> and Balki (short and more popular name of R Balakrishnan) come together, they are expected to create a magic on the screen. Cheeni Kum and Paa were testimonials of the fact. It was expected that their latest release together, <keyword id="2268710" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="shamitabh">Shamitabh</keyword>, will take this jodi to all new heights. 
 
However, the box office reports of this weekend share a different story. As per koimoi.com, the movie managed a mere 30% opening, which is not what we would expect from a movie that has Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role. The report further states that in the first weekend, the movie managed to collect a modest Rs 13 crore. The movie has been made <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamitabh">with a budget</a> of Rs 40 crore and also stars Akshara Haasan. 
 It is noteworthy that last weeks’ releases – <keyword id="2528710" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hawaizaada">Hawaizaada</keyword> and <keyword id="1119087" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Khamoshiyan">Khamoshiyan</keyword> – too could not cash register ringing. However, Baby, which is currently in its third week, is still holding to its ground. The movie has managed to collect around Rs 89.60 crore from ticket sales in India. It may not be able to make its presence felt in the Rs 100-crore club, but it has still managed to cover good ground so far. 
 Now our eyes are on Roy, which stars <keyword id="2180" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arjun-Rampal">Arjun Rampal</keyword>, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ranbir Kapoor in the leading roles. As the movie is releasing just before Valentine’s Day, we expect it to have a good opening, which might end the current dry spell of Bollywood. The songs of this movie are already getting noticed, so that should be another plus for this movie.

When it comes to creativity, <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> has its fair share of geniuses. Even though, time and again, they get blamed for plagiarism, or ‘inspirations’ as they like to call it, we can safely say that the role that these creative people play in Bollywood can never be undermined. 
 The creative makers of <keyword id="565498" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood-posters">Bollywood posters</keyword> deserve some special mention too. As the year ends, we take a look at the best posters that Bollywood saw this year.

 <keyword id="6357912" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="amitabh-bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</keyword>, you might say, but there is one more thing that these movies share; all these movies have either been written, directed or produced by R. Balki. 
 
Balki, who considers Amitabh Bachchan as his lucky charm, has now decided to rope in Amitabh Bachchan, along with wife Jaya, for guest appearances in his upcoming movie <keyword id="2974811" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ki-and-Ka">Ki and Ka</keyword>. 
 
The news was shared by Amitabh Bachchan on his social media accounts, where he shared some images from the shoot of Ki and Ka. However, a look at the surroundings of the super couple hints that the role would most probably be a cameo, because Amitabh and Jaya are shown to be sitting in what looks like their own drawing room, with family images hanged on the wall, including pictures of his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan, son Abhishek and daughter Shweta. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The movie stars <keyword id="1377418" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kareena-Kapoor-Khan">Kareena Kapoor Khan</keyword> and <keyword id="114453" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arjun-Kapoor">Arjun Kapoor</keyword> as the main leads. It has been written by Balki, who is also producing and directing the movie, and would showcase Khan and Kapoor as a married couple facing the challenges of the modern world. 
 
The movie would tentatively release in summer 2016.

Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan shoot for Ki and Ka inside Jalsa?

Last week, two movies were released at the box office: Hawaizaada and Khamoshiyan. But did these movies woo audiences’ hearts? Take a look at their BO collections and decide for yourself. 
 
Hawaizaada managed to collect a mere 57 lakh on the first Friday. It is a biopic based on Indian scientist Shivkar Bapuji Talpade and tells his tale, which is: how he built the first unmanned plane that unfortunately crashed even before it took off! Even the star cast of Ayushmann Khurana, Pallavi Sharda and <keyword id="14672" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mithun-Chakraborty">Mithun Chakraborty</keyword> couldn’t pull more audiences to theatres. The collections for the weekend stand at a mere Rs 2 crore. 
 
On the other hand, Khamoshiyan managed a decent opening at the box office and garnered collections to the tunes of Rs 7 crore over the weekend. This movie has been made on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khamoshiyan">budget of Rs 15 crore</a> and is expected to recover its cost by the end of this week. We feel Khamoshiyan owes its success to the tried and tested Horrex (horror +Sex) formula. It is produced under the <keyword id="359695" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vishesh-Films">Vishesh Films</keyword> banner, which has been associated with plenty of Horrex movies, including the Raaz series. Also, this horrex movie marks the debut of Gurmeet Choudhary in <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword>, who is sharing screen space with Ali Fazal and <keyword id="1595362" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sapna-Pabbi">Sapna Pabbi</keyword>. 
 
The last week’s release Baby continues to go strong. The movie has managed to collect Rs 76.47 crore till Sunday (Feb 1, 2015). 
 
Now, we are eagerly looking forward to Shamitabh, which stars Amitabh Bachchan and <keyword id="6358373" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="dhanush">Dhanush</keyword>. The movie is directed by R Balki and looks a little hatke from other commercial ventures. We do hope that this Amitabh Bachchan starter will get off to a flying start. What are your views of the movies this week and are you too looking forward to Shamitabh. Do share your views in the comments below.

Box Office Collections For Hawaizaada and Khamoshiyan A Mixed Bag

We all know what a brilliant director and writer R. Balki is, and he has proven it time and again, with his ventures Cheeni Kum, Paa, English Vinglish, and lately, Shamitabh. 
 His next venture comes in the form of <keyword id="3018653" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ki-Ka">Ki &amp; Ka</keyword>, a romantic comedy starring <keyword id="2165" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kareena-Kapoor">Kareena Kapoor</keyword> as Kia and <keyword id="114453" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arjun-Kapoor">Arjun Kapoor</keyword> as Kabir, a modern couple with a twist. 
 
This was the only brief that we had about the movie until now, however, with the motion poster of the movie being released today, we have a slightly better idea about the whole ‘twist’ in question. 
Amitabh Bachchan, who has acted in all of Balki’s ventures until now and is playing a guest role in Ki &amp; Ka along with wife Jaya Bachchan took to his social media accounts to share the motion poster. 
 
Here, have a look:

That’s right, it’s Kareena Kapoor putting a mangalsutra around Arjun Kapoor’s neck, with the motion poster announcing that streeling (female) and pulling (male), is the same thing. What we can make out from this poster is that Kia would be a working woman and Kabir would be a stay at home husband, dealing with the lemons that life throws at them. 
 
Interesting enough? But beware, the movie releases on April Fool’s day, so you might as well be ready to be fooled by the creative genius.

June is at the fag end and we almost have a mid-year report card of Bollywood. Though the year started on a dismal note, it picked up towards May and June. 
 
This year, January was like a drought month and even movies starring big names did not interest the audience. As Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha starrer-'Tevar'- failed to take off, even the Horrex (horror + sex) formula did not work out for ‘Alone’ and ‘Khamoshiyan’. 
 
Other movies that released in January and failed to make a mark included Sonam Kapoor-starrer ‘Dolly Ki Doli’, 'Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene', ‘Crazy Cukkad Family’, ‘Hawaizaada’ among others. 
 
The only respite that the Bollywood lovers got was from Akshay Kumar’s ‘Baby’, which also became the first movie of 2015 to enter the Rs 100 crore club. 
 
But the jinx did not end in January as February continued to bring more bad news for the industry. 
 
The big shocker came in the form of ‘Shamitabh’. The movie, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush, was directed by R Balki, the maker who has given us movies like Pa and Cheeni Kum. 
 
Later in the month, ‘Roy’ released, which recorded a good start but by weekend the movie fizzled out. Most trade pundits pegged the crucial India-Pakistan match at the World Cup as the reason for the drop of sales on Sunday but the movie could not recover much post this phase also because of negative word of mouth. 
 
Thankfully, later in the same month we had movies like ‘Badlapur’ and ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’. Both managed to gather decent collections at the Box Office. In fact, ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ was a complete surprise package and managed to pull crowds even in its third week . 
 
March threw a mixed bag as Anushka Sharma starrer 'NH-10' received critical acclaim. April again was a dry month as Bollywood had nothing to offer that could have clicked with the Bolly buffs. 
 
However, Bollywood saw a turnaround in May. It started on a high note with Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Gabbar is Back’, which went to collect Rs 86.55 crore at the Box Office. This was followed by Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan’s 'Piku', which struck a right chord with the audience and collected Rs 111 crore worldwide. 
 
Later in the month, Kangana Ranaut wowed the audience with her spectacular acting in ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’. As per reports, the movie managed to collect Rs 190.87 crore worldwide. Given that the movie was made with Rs 31 crore budget, it stood out and is the most profitable movie of 2015 till date. 
 
But, the disappointment came from ‘Bombay Velvet’. Everybody had high hopes from Ranbir Kapoor’s flick but it fell flat. 
 
The momentum seems to continue with ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ and ‘ABCD 2’. ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ has managed Rs 37.05 crore in the first weekend and is holding the fort well. Also ABCD 2, sequel of ABCD, managed to get the biggest opening for 2015 and continues to do a good business over the week. 
 
The later half will see a slew of big- starrer movies such as Salman Khan starrer ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, Vikas Bahl of Queen fame’s ‘Shaandaar’, ‘Singh is Bling’ featuring Akshay Kumar, Nikhil Advani’s ‘Katti Batti’, Aishwarya Rai’s comeback movie ‘Jazbaa’ and also ‘Dilwale’ in which fans will see Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol paired together. In addition, there will also be a third installment of ‘Hate Story’, ‘Hera Pheri’ and ‘Kya Kool Hai Hum’ to look forward to. 
 
Commenting on the movie sentiment of 2015, Komal Nahata, Trade Analyst shared, “It has been a good 2015 so far. Sure there were some upsets in the start of the year but May has been extremely kind and the rest of the year looks really promising." 
 
We hope that the forthcoming movies get the cash ringer buzzing for Bollywood and we continue to see some entertaining movies in the latter half of the year.
