‘Baadshaho’ starring Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Vidyut Jamwal, Esha Gupta and Ileana D’Cruz earned Rs 43.30 crore on the third day of its run in the box-office. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the information regarding the collections on Twitter.

Taran Adarsh’s tweet read, “#Baadshaho fared well in its opening weekend… Fri 12.60 cr, Sat 15.60 cr, Sun 15.10 cr. Total: â?¹ 43.30 cr. India biz.”

‘Baadshaho’ is a period heist film directed and co-produced by Milan Luthria. It is set in the emergency era of 1975-77.

‘Baadshaho’ collected Rs 12.60 crore on Friday, it’s opening day, Rs 15.60 crore on Saturday and went on to net a total of Rs 43.30 crore on Sunday.

‘Baadshaho’ marks the third time that Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi are collaborating. The duo previously shared screen in ‘Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji’ and ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai.’ The latter was directed by Milan Luthria.

‘Baadshaho’ has been shot in Mumbai and Jodhpur in Rajasthan. Ajay Devgn and Milan Luthria have teamed up for the fourth time with this film. Ajay previously starred in Luthria films ‘Kachche Dhaage’, ‘Chori Chori’ and ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai.’ Emraan Hashmi had worked with Milan Luthria in ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai’ marking this third outing with the director.

Despite facing competition from ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan’, which stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles, ‘Baadshaho’ has managed to go steady at the box-office.

Other Bollywood films that are currently running in theatres are ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, ‘A Gentleman’ and ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz.’

Actor Sharad Kelkar says raising his hand on a senior actor like Ajay Devgn for an action sequence in “Baadshaho” was hard for him.

The film, directed by Milan Luthria, released on Friday.

Talking about the experience, Sharad said in a statement: “There are several action sequences in the film which required me to punch Ajay sir. Given that Milan Sir likes his sequences to look as authentic, it was really hard for me to raise my hand on Ajay Sir. But, I have to say that Ajay Sir is an amazing professional and an even better human being.

“He realised I was hesitant and told me to relax and just concentrate on my role. We get along very well since we have worked on a TV show earlier. He told me, ‘Sharad, your role demands you beat me, then just do it.’ That really helped.”

Sharad Kelkar used to host a reality TV show called “Rock-N-Roll Family”, which Ajay Devgn used to judge back in 2008.

It wouldn’t be wrong for you to expect a ‘paisa vasool’, entertaining film like ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’ from director Milan Luthria. Well, the trailer of ‘Baadshaho’ definitely looked like an action-packed drama. But does the film lives up to its lofty expectations? Check out our review to find out!

Story: It is 1973, Princess Geetanjali (Ileana D’Cruz) foils the advances of political leader Sanjeev (Priyanshu Chatterjee), who looks a lot like Sanjay Gandhi and it definitely isn’t a coincidence. This sours things between the two and when the emergency is declared in 1975, it causes a lot of trouble for the princess. Sanjeev now aims to ruin Geetanjali’s life and take away her privy purse, i.e a truck loaded with gold.

Thus enters Bhawani (Ajay Devgn), Geetanjali’s royal bodyguard and lover who plans to hijack the truck loaded with gold on its way to Delhi. Joining him on this mission is Guruji (Sanjay Mishara), Dalia (Emraan Hashmi) and Sanjana (Esha Gupta). You also have Shehar Singh’s (Vidyut Jammwal), an army cop appointed to deliver the gold safely. But things ain’t that simple, as there is a mole among the gang who will change the entire plan.

Well, if you thought Milan Luthria’s ‘Baadshaho’ has anything to do with the emergency, you are mistaken. This film is nothing more than a 90’s revamped version of the ‘chor-police’ saga. Set in the sandy dunes of Rajasthan, the film definitely looks promising and entertaining when it starts. However, it leaves you heavily disappointed as it proceeds. 

The film brings back memories of 90’s masala films, and we genuinely enjoyed those ‘seeti maar’ punchlines. Rajat Arora’s dialogues are as crisp and slick as ever. Bhawani’s entry is set with the line, “Zubaan aur jaan ek hi baar di jaa sake hai, aaj se dono thaare.” It goes without saying that Ajay Devgn has a strong screen presence, giving you high hopes.

You have an item song to add an exotic element in the film. Though logic is missing and the plot goes haywire anyway. An unnecessary chase is added just to show some action and stunts by Vidyut. There are bright indicators that what was sold in the trailer was just an illusion. 10 minutes into the film and you are all set for a dull ride. 

Lines like ‘Aapke sone ka carat humare character ko kharab nahi kar sakta’ and ‘Queen ke saath ek cover bhi hota hai,” adds to the entertaining factor but the screenplay is too weak and stretched out too far to carry the film.

Still, a pretty interesting twist takes place during the intermission and it makes you want to look forward to the rest of the film, but the climax definitely falls flat on its face.  

Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, and Vidyut Jammval are spot on. But it is Sanjay Mishra who is the standout star. Esha and Illeana, on the other hand, are treated more like props just to add some much-required glamour in the film.

Well, by the looks of it, ‘Baadshaho’ could have been a great, entertaining flick but in the end what we actually got was a film that thought it was entertaining but falls way short of the mark!

Kajol and Ajay Devgn

Earlier this year, Kajol had announced that she was excited that her “home production is finally starting”, even revealing that she was looking at a September launch for her new venture. However, when mid-day caught up with the actor, she revealed that the plan never materialised. “I am not cut out for it,” Kajol said, even confessing to finding comfort in being lackadaisical.

“Why should I push myself into doing something that doesn’t come naturally to me,” she questioned, choosing instead to invest her time in making her actor-producer-husband Ajay Devgn’s production house more “rock solid”. “I don’t find the need to break away from Ajay Devgn Films (ADF). He understands production better than I do, and in this respect, I am happy to be under his shadow.”

The actor acknowledges that she only offers inputs for Devgn’s productions when the latter approaches her. “Ajay is managing it
well enough,” The failure of ADF’s last outing, Shivaay (2016), which was being created under Kajol’s watch, to score well at the box-office, hasn’t deterred the actor from taking up further projects. “Ajay did a good job as director and actor, and Abigail [Eames, co-actor] made me howl,” she says of her love for the film, but acknowledges that the debacle affected Devgn. “But he is hard to break, and has me by his side, always.”

Priyanka Chopra is amazing and there is no doubt that she is all set to rule Hollywood as well. We love her and her profile abroad has definitely given her a bunch of new fans who just can’t stop obsessing over her. She is literally everywhere, from our social media feeds, billboards, to international functions and talk shows, you name it and she is there.   

Although she is the queen of our hearts, getting to the top wasn’t easy for Priyanka. She experimented and tried out everything possible to prove her worth as a real actor. From bizarre movies to weird characters, she has starred in a few films that makes us wonder what made her do it in the first place. 

And, we’re pretty sure that she doesn’t want her new Hollywood buddies to see these disasterpieces. 

Priyanka Chopra(c) Giphy

‘What’s your Rashee?’

Well, we really adore PeeCee but wouldn’t it be too much if you saw 12 versions of her? You got to agree, that’s a little too much to handle! Also starring Harman Baweja, the film had Priyanka play a character from every zodiac sign. There were weird songs, a confusing plot line, too many ‘rashees’ and so now you know why the film tanked. 

‘Pyaar Impossible’

Yes, we get that it’s hard to say no to a Yash Raj banner film, but you got to do it if it features Uday Chopra in the lead! Wasn’t that enough to for her to get that this ‘pyaar’ was ‘impossible’ for anyone to truly understand?

‘Love Story 2050′

This love story is from the future…..and just like the future; the film had no clarity of what it was trying to say. From dialogues, screenplay, music, costumes to Priyanka herself, everything left us stupefied and not in a good way. The only entertaining factor in the film was the talking teddy bear named ‘Boo’. This was another film with Harman Baweja that failed at the box office. Back then, it was rumoured that Priyanka was dating him. And just like that love story,  this film also fizzled out. 

‘Drona’

The IMDB rating of 2.2 of this Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra starrer says it all. We rest our case! 

‘Blackmail’

Haven’t seen this film yet? Well, don’t bother, you don’t have to. Starring Sunil Shetty and Ajay Devgn, this film was an exercise in bad character writing, poor plot and just bad direction. And, PC bore the brunt of it. All we wonder is why did she even sign this film? Was it the need of the hour or one of the biggest blunders that she now definitely regrets?

The teaser of the much-awaited film ‘Baadshaho’ is out and actor Ajay Devgn is back to sweep us off our feet, after winning our hearts earlier with his stellar performance in ‘Shivaay’. Set during the 1975 emergency, this movie revolves around ‘6 badasses’ who take advantage of this situation to pull off a heist worth millions in gold and change their lives forever. For those who failed to notice (although, we wonder if there is anyone who missed it), the movie also features Sunny Leone and sparks will surely fly once you watch her share the screen with Emraan Hashmi.

Ajay Devgn’s rugged look and spot on Haryanvi accent is an intriguing takeaway from this teaser and has compelled us to look forward to its release. He will be joined by Ileana D’Cruz, Emraan Hashmi, Vidyut Jamwal, Sanjay Mishra and Esha Gupta, and together they will redefine badassery for this entire generation, by looting gold from under the nose of the army.

Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi, who earlier worked together in ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’, will play gangsters in this movie too, and in all honesty, we are dying to see the two recreate that magic. Esha Gupta and Ileana D’Cruz look stunning and it’s a pleasant surprise to see them in a bold avatar. Vidyut Jamwal on the other hand, looked every bit the fearsome individual he is. If you feel that these aren’t reasons enough for you to head to the movie theatre, the fact that Sanjay Mishra is a part of this brilliant star cast will definitely compel you to go. This movie is the directorial venture of Milan Luthria and is slated to release on September 1st. Check out the teaser below.
