Film My Name Is Khan sets a new box office record in US and Canada

Shahrukh Khan starrer 'My Name Is Khan' has turned out to be the largest weekend grosser Bollywood film ever in North America, recording an estimated USD 1.86 million in the US and Canada.

The movie, directed by Karan Johar averaged a stellar USD 15,500 from 120 theatres across the US and Canada.

The Fox Searchlight movie opened on Friday with USD 444,000 and rose 65 per cent to USD 734,000 on Saturday.

It is estimated to dip seven per cent to USD 682,000 today, celebrated across the world as Valentine's Day.

Monday's 'Presidents' Day' holiday in the US will lead to a four-day debit of more than USD two million, the firm handling promotion and advertising of the film claimed.

'My Name Is Khan' also generated the highest per-theatre average of any film in the Top 20 over the weekend.

The previous record was held by Shahrukh's musical extravaganza 'Om Shanti Om', which grossed USD 1.76 million from 114 theatres over Diwali weekend in 2007.

The American mainstream media is all praise for the movie which received rave reviews.

"This is a movie not built for subtlety, but it does tackle a subject American movies have mostly avoided - that of racial profiling and the plight of Muslim-Americans.

It also allows Shah Rukh Khan to display his talent to an even wider audience. It's well worth the 162-minute journey,"

‘Maya Bazar’ in a vibrant avatar

Come Saturday, the all-time great movie in Telugu Maya Bazar is set to hit the silver screens in colour format and more than anybody else, legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, who played the role of Abhimanyu in the movie, is curious to watch it again.

“With humour, action and drama in equal quotients, it’s already a colourful movie and this colour format adds new variety to the movie. It’s a ‘maya kalakandam’,” says Mr. Rao. Released on March 27, 1957 in black-and-white format, the film has a huge star cast, including N.T. Rama Rao, S.V. Ranga Rao and Savitri. “It is tough to point out the hero of the film. Apart from the story, I would say it was Savitri,” he explains.
Favourite song

On his favourite song in the movie, Mr. Rao says each song in the movie is exceptional. “But ‘Nivena nanu pilachinadi’ is the one I enjoy more and it would be interesting to watch it in colour format,” he says.

Apart from being associated with the movie as an actor, Mr. Rao has some interesting aspects to share with people.

“Actually, the movie release was postponed by over three months. On the sets of the film , I met with an accident and was hospitalised. Action scenes between me and S.V. Ranga Rao in Maya Bazar were yet to be filmed and were shot only after I was discharged,” he recalls.

This apart, there is one more interesting issue. “Unlike other producers who get worried over the delay, Mr. Chakrapani used to visit me in the hospital daily and taught me playing cards,” he laughs.

When asked to recommend one of his movies to be transformed into colour format, he replies saying “In fact, there were plans to transform Devdas into a colour movie but I suggested Mooga Manasulu. More than Devdas, which has deep melodrama, Mooga Manasulu with river Godavari in the background, would be a visual treat to watch it in colour format.”

Mr.Rao still feels the role he enacted in Baatasari film as his best and describes Adurti Subba Rao, L.V. Prasad and K.V. Reddy as the best directors he had worked with.

T-activists burn cutouts of Adurs

With a few hours left for the release of Junior NTR -starrer Adurs, some pro-Telangana activists damaged the movie’s cutout at Nagender Theatre near Saroornagar on Tuesday. The movie is scheduled to be released on  Wednesday.

The Saroornagar police said four persons involved in the incident - Anand, Zaheer, Sandeep Reddy and Pandu, all TRS activists - were arrested and sent in remand. All the four went to the theatre around 1:30 pm and suddenly burnt the posters and cut-outs of the movie set up there,’’ Inspector Srinivas Reddy told Expresso. A police team on guard near the theatre nabbed the accused who reportedly raised slogans against Jr NTR and other Telugu actors who expressed their support to united AP. The incident caused panic among the public in and around the threatre.

Many pro-Telangana outfits, including the Telangana Jagruthi led by KCR’s daughter Kavita, have threatened to stall the screening of the movie across the Telangana region. The incident took place after DGP R R Girish Kumar assured security during the screening of the movie.

TRS vows to make Bhogi bonfire of Adurs




Adurs, starring NTR Jr, is set to hit the screens Wednesday under the watchful eye of the police in the Telangana region. Notwithstanding the actor’s appeal on Monday evening, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief K Chandrasekhara Rao’s daughter Kavitha renewed her boycott call on Tuesday forcing the film producers to move the High Court.

Justice G Raghuram of the High Court asked for DGP RR Girish Kumar’s response and upon being informed that the police would provide security, disposed of the producers’ petition.

Earlier in the day, film industry representatives submitted a memorandum to Governor ESL Narasimhan seeking protection for the smooth screening of films in the region. Simultaneously, the Producers’ Council appealed to the Telangana Jagruthi, the cultural arm of the TRS headed by Kavitha, to let the film have a smooth run in Telangana. Producers of Adurs, Kodali Venkateswara Rao (Naani) and Vallabhaneni Vamsi Mohan, too appealed to Kavitha not to play spoilsport.

But an adamant Kavitha turned the heat on the producers. ‘‘By not screening the film, distributors and exhibitors in Telangana will not incur losses.

Unless the producers make their stand clear on the Telangana issue, we will not allow the film to be screened,’’ she said. Her charge is that Kodali Naani, a TDP legislator, and Vamsi Mohan, also a TDP leader, stand for a united State. ‘‘Both had expressed solidarity with Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal when the latter went on a fastunto- death against bifurcation of the State recently,’’ Kavitha reminded.

Releasing copies of the agreement between the producers and film distributors in the Telangana region, she pointed out that the producers had agreed to return money to the distributors within 60 days if the film faced any problem.

Meanwhile, Naani and Vamsi Mohan said, ‘‘we are not against Telangana.

Neither NTR, Vinayak (director) nor we have the power to give a separate State. We are going ahead with the release and the government has assured us of all cooperation.’’ TDP general secretary Aravind Kumar Goud, BC Welfare Minister Mukesh Goud and BJP senior leader N Indrasena Reddy found fault with Kavitha and others for ‘‘banning’’ Adurs.

Meanwhile, TRS activists burnt posters of NTR Jr at a cinema in Saroornagar here in the State capital.
