September 09, 2000 - SILVER JUBILEE
Producer Gordhan
Tanwani's Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, directed by David Dhawan, has entered combined
25th week at Naaz (matinee), Bombay.
March 29, 2000 - BOX OFFICE UPDATE
David Dhawan's Dulhan
Hum Le Jayenge is having a ball in England. The Salman Khan-Karisma Kapoor movie
grossed about $ 170,000 on 21 screens in England last weekend. Its $ 8,000 per
screen gross was the highest in the country. Its success in England has lifted
the box-office gloom there. The last hit in England, Rajshri's Hum Saath
Saath... ended its run with over $ 1 million a few months ago. If Dulhan
maintains its current pace, it could have a profitable run, ending with at least
$ 500,000.
And if its success is mirrored in America, it could earn about $1
million. In the United States, figures for the three-day weekend were not
available but the market buzz has it that Dulhan is shaping into an
above-average success. The desi market scene in America has been dull for
several weeks. Dulhan could lift the box-office clouds.
March 13, 2000 - WATCH OUT FOR...
It's a David Dhawan
dhamaka, starring Salman Khan and Karisma. End result? A laugh riot! Dulhan Hum
Le Jayenge is not a remake of the Hollywood hit Runaway Bride in the absolute
sense of the word 'remake'. It's, instead, in essense a very distinct David
Dhawan kinda film with the right mix of romance, drama and comedy.
As the
story goes, it's about Karisma's absolutely vehement and confirmed "no-no" to
the prospective groom her protective and possessive mamas (Anupam Kher, Paresh
Rawal and Om Puri) want to thrust down her delicate sensibilities and life.
Somewhere along the way trudges the sexy and suave Salman who holds Karisma's
rapt attention and makes way into her cozy heart. And then, as the title
suggests, after much song-n-dance (literally and figuratively) Sallu darling
takes away his dulhan, Karisma. Adding lighter moments to the mamas' madness are
classic comedians Johny Lever and Kader Khan.
Now, what's going to probably
work in David's favour in this film is his choice of Anupam, Paresh and Om as
the possessive mamas. Their class act will most certainly lend the much-needed
curiousity and flavour to the by-now popular and delectable pairing of Salman
and Karisma. The inclusion of Himesh Reshmmiya as the music director is bound to
lend freshness to the tralalalala aspect too. What might just not work (there's
a slim possibility) in the favour of the film is its price. A huge and hefty Rs
3 crores per territory, the highest received by any producer so far for a Salman
Khan-starrer. However, if producer Gordhan Tanwani's luck is shining bright, the
film might bring in favourable tidings, the price notwithstanding. 'Wait and
watch' is the mantra till its release later this month.
March 08, 2000 - HIT HO JAYE
Gordhan Tanwani,
producer of the former, is giving film promotion a new meaning with his
Salman-Karisma starrer. He spent a fortune on the pre and post-release
publicities of both his earlier films, Ishq and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, and
consequently reaped rich harvests. He s doing it all over again. Will he be
third time lucky? The scales seem to be tilted in his favour due to several
reasons. For one, the lead pair is a favourite of the audience. Two, lucky David
Dhawan is the captain of the ship. And three, there hasn t been a good release
after Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai which will be 10 weeks old by the time Dulhan...
makes a bid for the public s heart.
March 04, 2000 - NOT 'Runaway Bride'
David Dhawan's Dulhan
Hum Le Jayenge: Contrary to popular belief, this Salman Khan-Karisma Kapoor
musical is not a Hindi version of the Julia Roberts starrer, Runaway Bride, but
an imitation of a film closer home. The story of a young man who must win the
affection of his beloved's four uncles before he can walk her down the aisle,
here's an all-new remake of Ek Phool Chaar Kaante.
February 28, 2000 - Streak of Hits
If anyone has seen
glimpses of the trailors for "Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge", it looks like the team of
David Dhawan, Salman Khan, and Karisma Kapoor have a hit on their hands.
Undoubtedly, Salman Khan is a force to reckon with when it comes to the box
office. The majority of his films do good business and he does tend to have a
hit or two each year. The promotional trailers of the movie are chic! The songs
are gaining in popularity and though they may not be musical masterpieces, they
are so mass-appealing that they'll be inching their way up the music charts soon
and fast.
February 12, 2000 - Music Released In
Hyderabad
Tips Cassettes released the audio
cassettes of producer GordhanTanwani's Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge at a function held
at Sangeet Sagar, Secunderabad on 11th February. Nizarn distributors Kishenchand
Jethwani (Vandana Films) and Chandru Manghnani (Evershine Film Distributors) and
Dinesh Gupta (of Sangeet-Sagar) were among the guests who graced the
occasion.
February 12, 2000 - Do you know?
Bombay distributor
Ramesh Sippy has acquired Gordhan Tanwani's Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge for Gujarat at
a phenomenal price. In turn, he is getting fantastic offers from exhibitors of
Gujarat. Gordhan Tanwani's past track-record (Ishq, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha)
coupled with his lavish spending on publicity has made his third venture so hot
in distribution circles. Besides, there will be no major release for a whole
month before Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge comes on 24th March. That is to say, the
audience will be hungry for entertainment when Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge hits the
screens a scenario which producers, distributors and exhibitors love.
February 4, 2000 - Creating Waves
After Aamir Khan's
'Mela' and Shah Rukh Khan's 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani', it time for the third
of the three big Khans to line up his arsenal. And Salman Khan is just rearing
to flex his well toned muscles once again with Gordhan Tanwani's 'Dulhan Hum Le
Jayenge'. For Gordhan Tanwani, whose 'Ishq' and 'Pyar To Hona Hi Tha' did well
at the turnstiles, this will be his third hit if it does well. And if one goes
by the trade sentiments, this doesn't seem far fetched at all. Directed by David
Dhawan, the film also stars the heroine No.1, Karisma Kapoor. Mounted on an
enormous canvas and shot on unexplored locales of Switzerland and Mauritius, the
film is said to have all the ingredients necessary, namely, emotion, action,
drama and music. And of course, going by Salman's recent track record, looks
like he will not only walk away with the dulhan but the applause as well.
January 8, 2000 - The Silver Lining
While the film industry
was under a dark cloud in the-year that went by, the wonderful and unique cover
pages of Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge in the annual issue of Film Information last week
gave the industry hope of a silver lining in the new year. The shimmering silver
covers (front as well as back) had a-page-amonth calendar of Dulhan Hum Le
Jayenge pasted on the front, with stills of the film on every page. Never before
was such a grand cover seen by the trade in any magazine. We at Information were
inundated with calls congratulating us. But, but... but credit hum nahin
lejayenge!-The credit and congratulations are entirely and rightfully due to the
film's enterprising producer, Gordhan Tanwani, and to the Nandas - Himanshu and
Rahul - for their inimitable conception, visualisation and their aesthetically
creative design. It is they who deserve 2000 pats for the silver lining at the
start of year 2000! Incidentally, the calendar on the cover of our issue last
week is meant to be detached therefrom and can be used as a
wall-calendar.
