September 06, 2000 - HDJPK enters
UK Top 10 Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has every reason
to throw a party. As latest reports indicate, his new film Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega
is creating quite a few records abroad. In the United Kingdom alone, the film
grossed about US$320,000 in its very first week. The Salman Khan-Preity Zinta-Rani
Mukherjee starrer has ever since entered the UK Top 10, where it's firmly seated
for the past three weeks. According to the buzz, most UK theatres that released
the film have retained it on the screen, having earned at an average $16,000
in box office collection. That pitches the Raj Kanwar-directed film into
the ranks of all time greatest overseas hits such as Dilwaale Dulhania Le Jaayenge,
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Hum Aapke Hain Koun! An impressive show that, considering
the film is a take-off on the Hollywood hit, While You Were Sleeping. Back home,
the film has done average to good business in the various territories and most
distributors are happy.
August 20, 2000 - Har Dil Jo Party
Karega! The producer of the latest Salman Khan-Preity-Rani
starrer threw a bash earlier this week at the Centaur, Juhu to celebrate the
"success" of the music and that of his film, 'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega.' (What?
It's been just two weeks since it released!) Like all filmi bashes, this one
too started a couple of hours late. While Sajid played the gracious host, hugging
everyone around, Preity and he dashed off a little later in to a corner to catch
up on the latest gossip, we presume. The good-looking Khan, Salman entered 'just'
one and a half hour late clad in a sober white shirt and black jeans and walked
straight to the Khan camp where brother Arbaaz waited in a black, see-through
shirt. Rani was nowhere to be seen, till about 11:00 p.m and when she did come,
there were lots of heads turning as Preity and she got cosy. (Hey, don't you
go around getting ideas!) Preity was escorted by beau Marc and refused to let
photographers take pix of them together. All that's fine, but was there reason
enough to celebrate? Now, that's the question.
August 08, 2000 - Box Office The film industry is buzzing with activity
& like never before. People are coming back to the theatres in a big way
and that's a positive sign for film producers and distributors whose films had
faced a rough ride at the turnstiles. The week gone by witnessed the release
of 'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega', which took a fabulous start all over. When your
film takes a flying start (opening), half the battle is won! This adage has
proven correct for the Salman Khan Rani Mukherji Preity Zinta starrer 'Har
Dil Jo Pyar Karega', which is reportedly inspired by the Malayalam hit 'Chandralekha,
which in turn was inspired by the Sandra Bullock Bill Pullman film 'While
You Were Sleeping'. 'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega' took a great start from its very first show, opening
to a cent per cent response all over the country. And this can be attributed
to five factors:
The face-value of the film is very strong and the pairing looks fresh;
Anu Malik's music is already popular and on top of the charts;
The story is different and the treatment (screenplay) is captivating;
The fabulous pre-release promotion of the film;
Lady luck.
'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega' is an apt example of a well-made commercial film. The
film has all it takes to please the hoipolloi emotions, drama and light moments,
grand songs & in fact everything that makes you forget your sorrows for
three complete hours. It takes you to a world of make-believe, a world so different
from the one we live in. And that's where escapist cinema really scores, for
it transports you into an altogether different world in those few hours. Business-wise,
'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega' has been sold for a moderate amount and keeping in
mind its terrific start, half the battle is won. But will it sustain in the
days to come, we will have to wait and watch the situation. If it sustains,
it will be declared a big hit. If it doesn't, it will still be profitable for
its investors, thanks to the great opening and reasonable price.

June 20, 2000 - Song at the concert If you attended Millenium Masti in the
United States, Canada, or U.K., then you will definitely recognize the "Aate
Jaate Jo Milta Hai" from Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega. Salman Khan showed off his
singing skills at the concert with this song. He told the audience that he was
in love with this song and could not get it out of his mind. After hearing it,
there is no question as to why Salman was feeling that way. It is a very infectious
love song, sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. The only unattractive feature
of the song is the fact that Alka and an unidentified male singer interrupt
the flow of the song with conversation. Regardless, the song is really nice
and is probably the best one on the soundtrack.
June 13, 2000 - Publicity Both producer Sajid Nadiadwala and music
company Super Cassettes, which holds the music rights of Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega,
are going all out to promote the film. The photographs have been printed on
silver paper, giving them an extraordinary metallic look. Super Cassettes' music
hamper contains not just the film's music cassette and CD, but a number of other
things -- a calculator, a writing pad, a note pad, tea-coasters, a pen and a
trendy baseball cap. All of which are either in shocking pink coloured packages
or are actually coloured shocking pink. While the pink definitely shocks, the
effort and the expenditure involved shocks even more. Incidentally, David Dhawan's
wife, who has seen the rushes of Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, was heard telling Preity
Zinta how much she liked it. The film also stars Salman Khan and Rani Mukherji.
This is one film that is expected to take a great start when it releases on
August 4.
