Strength of positive WOM: HICHKI goes the RAID way to success!

0

Positive word of mouth has more than always proved beneficial to the box-office prospects of a new release. And despite slow starts, films which are not the usual blockbuster or commercial potboiler type, have shown good growth, courtesy a positive WOM and to some extent good reviews as well. While on the other hand a negative WOM sees a film crashing on the very next day of its release, more so if it does not feature a top 5 star. The two March end releases, RAID and HICHKI, proved it yet again.

The first release, Raj Kumar Gupta’s Ajay Devgn-Illeana D’Cruz starrer, RAID, saw a disappointing first day netting under 10 crore but the extremely positive word of mouth and good reviews saw the film ending the opening week with over 60 crore in its kitty, which is simply outstanding. Quite similarly YRF’s Rani Mukerji starrer, HICHKI, which started on a slow note (15 percent) with the first day in the 3-4 crore range, saw a good pick up and ended the weekend with a healthy haul of almost 16 crore, which makes things easier for HICHKI, as it is not a very expensive project.

Well, are the makers who always say- We want to make good films, but the audience only wants entertaining cinema- listening?

John Krasinski related to A QUIET PLACE on a personal level

0

Actor John Krasinski says film A QUIET PLACE came to him when he was dealing with the fear of being a father again.

Krasinski's wife and actress Emily Blunt had given birth to their second daughter back in 2016 when he started working on A QUIET PLACE. He has directed the film as well.

"I was already dealing with all the fears of being a new father – fears of how to keep my daughters safe and how to be a good dad, when this came to me and so I related to it on a deeply personal level," Krasinski said in a statement.

A QUIET PLACE, also starring Blunt, follows a family of four who must live life in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt by sound.

"I felt that within the basic story was such an interesting, and terrifying, metaphor for what it takes to be a parent. I was an open nerve emotionally then, so it was a very powerful time to start imagining how two parents might try to protect their children by doing the impossible, by living without making a sound.

"It just made my imagination explode. There was so much about the idea that I wanted to explore," he added.

On the film, Krasinski said: aceIn ordinary life you try to make sure your kids are happy, healthy, well fed, taken care of and educated, which is a lot to worry about. But in this nightmare world, the stress of being a parent is that times 10,000.

A QUIET PLACE, a Paramount Pictures movie, will be exclusively distributed in India by Viacom18 Motion Pictures. It is slated to open in India on April 6.

Jack White: Rappers have dangerous edge of music now

Jack White, a former member of The White Stripes, says he is more of a fan of hip-hip than rock these days because it is more dangerous.

"Rappers have the dangerous edge of music now – what I would consider the closest thing to that stuff you might not want your parents to know you're listening to," White told Orlando Sentinel.

The SEVEN NATION ARMY hitmaker recruited musicians that have worked with Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar on his new solo LP 'Boarding House Reach'.

The 43-year-old musician says that critics would have preferred him to release new music like The White Stripes' 2002 album "Elephant" though.

White said: "I hear a lot of talk about people listening to this album, saying, 'You don't even actually hear a song till you get to 'Over and Over and Over'. What they're really saying is, 'I'm not hearing a song that I want from Jack White until 'Over and Over and Over.'

"They want me to write songs like I did on 'Elephant' ('The White Stripes') 2002 LP"
