Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!
Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! and Sorry Bhai have released and as expected have opened to disappointing response all over. However, this time around, more than merits that these films are carrying, it is the release timing which has proved to be a stumbling block. Aftermath of Mumbai terrorist attack is being felt till this very moment and the last thing that a film fan would want to do, regardless of him being living in Mumbai or somewhere else in the country, is venture into a theatre and watch a movie
Hollywood pins hopes on Christmas filmgoers
Is Jim Carrey recession-proof? Can Kate Winslet help to turn the economy around? Will consumers shell out for Brad Pitt or Will Smith? Is trusty Clint Eastwood counter-cyclical?
If you are a Hollywood studio executive, the answer is yes, yes, yes and yes. As Hollywood struggles through the recession, studios are hoping that a full-scale cinematic onslaught over the Christmas season will bounce the movie industry out of the doldrums.
Unlike much of the rest of the economy, the signs are cautiously optimistic. This year, a record number of big releases are scheduled for the crucial holiday season, with 11 major films packing major stars set for release between December 12 and Boxing Day.
Carrey pops up in Yes Man, an affirmative tale about a loser who becomes a winner thanks to a self-help guide. Winslet caters to a different demographic playing a Nazi opposite Ralph Fiennes in Stephen Daldry's adaptation of The Reader. Winslet also rekindles her career-defining chemistry with Leonardo DiCaprio, this time in suburbia rather than on the high seas, in Revolutionary Road, due out in the US on December 26.
Meanwhile Will Smith plays a man trying to make amends for his past in Seven Pounds. Eastwood, in Gran Torino, plays a Korean war veteran learning to get along with his Korean-American neighbours.
