So whose clash is this anyway?
Jul 03, 2011 - Joginder Tuteja
Much has been written and said about the alleged Sajid Nadiadwala-Salman Khan spat over the clash of release dates between their respective films, Housefull 2 and Ek Tha Tiger. But a friend of Salman’s has stated that the actor is hurt by all the talk, and had nothing to do with the current scenario.
“Yes, it is true that with films like Wanted, Dabangg and Ready, Sallu had a say in their release dates, promotion etc. But that is not the case with Ek Tha Tiger. This latest film is completely a Yash Raj Films’ baby. It was the Chopras who made a decision to release Ek Tha Tiger on a particular date, not Salman,” says our source. “Moreover, Salman isn’t really an ‘in-house’ actor for YRF (a la Shah Rukh Khan), for whom the Chopras would make special allowances.”
But the Nadiadwala camp may not be buying the explanation. “More than whether or not Salman had a say in the release date for Ek Tha Tiger, we are wondering if it really is a good thing for the industry to have two such big projects — a Salman vehicle versus a Housefull of A-list actors — colliding at the box office,” says an aide close to Sajid. Sajid himself seems tired of the constant questions about Salman. “Why bring him into every conversation?” he asks, reiterating, “This is about a clash between two important films.”
Bollywood’s slapstick surge

The poster of 'Double Dhamaal'. Director Anees Bazmee is a happy man. As he savours the stupendous success of his film ‘Ready’ with Salman Khan, he’s also scripting the sequel to one of his earlier megahit comedies.‘No Entry Mein Entry’ will feature Salman reprising the character he played in the 2005 blockbuster ‘No Entry’. Boney Kapoor—who had produced ‘No Entry’—is backing this film too. But a launch date has not been announced. “I don’t want to put pressure on myself with such a deadline,” says Bazmee. “I want to give myself time with the script and make a really great comedy.”Having helmed the biggest hit of 2011 so far, Bazmee has the luxury of time. His brand of humour has struck gold at the box office repeatedly in recent years, and directors of this genre are now among Hindi filmdom’s most sought-after names.With good reason.Last week, the slapstick comedy ‘Double Dhamaal’ notched up the second highest opening weekend collections for a film this year after ‘Ready’ and just above the Deol family laughathon ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’. Slapstick comedy has come to Bollywood’s rescue in a year that has witnessed a near-drought at the turnstiles. In the 2006-11 period, on the list of Bollywood’s top hits across genres, according to the trade website boxofficeindia.com, ‘Ready’ now occupies the No. 3 slot, ‘Golmaal3’ is No. 5 and most of the films in the top 10 are blessed with large doses of humour even if they don’t strictly fall into the comedy genre.So there you have it: burdened,by exploding budgets, city-dwellers,with numerous other entertainment,options, star-struck,audiences and increasing salary, demands from stars, Bollywood has found a safe haven in comedy, especially of the slapstick variety.Says director Rohit Shetty who has made ‘Golmaal’ a moneyspinning brand: “I’d be a fake if I were to tell you that I make the kind of films I make because it’s my passion and nothing else. It’s a product also. Huge amounts of money are involved in the films I make so I have to think of an all-India audience. I can’t target only a niche, multiplex audience if I wish to recover costs and reap profits.”Says Indra Kumar, director of ‘Double Dhamaal’: “Films are made at such a high cost these days that we can’t afford to take risks, everyone wants to play safe.”The flip side is that the focus of these comedies is increasingly turning to loudness and even crassness to raise laughs.In ‘Ready’, Salman is shown urinating on a haystack while the words “pee break” flash on screen to mark the interval. Shetty even concedes that when he looks back at ‘Golmaal Returns’, the second installment in his series, he wonders how it became a hit. “I think maybe I took the audience for granted with that film,” he confesses.The good news for him is that large sections of the audience seem not to mind at all.
