New
Delhi, Feb 1 (IANS) Vishal Bhardwaj has done it again. After the
success of Kaminey', his rustic 'Ishqiya' has beaten the Amitabh
Bachchan starrer 'Rann' at the box office, thanks to its appealing
content.
Both movies released Friday and had star-studded red-carpet
premieres in the capital Thursday, but 'Ishqiya' took the cake with
almost 80 percent collections in the opening weekend. 'Rann' got only
around 30 percent collections.
Ishqiya' has got a strong opening in
both Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in both multiplexes and single-screens. It
has got around 80 percent business over the initial weekend,' Yogesh
Raizada, corporate head (cinemas) of Wave Cinemas, told IANS.
The
dialogue delivery in the movie is very good and it is a typical masala
movie but the drawback is that everyone might not like it because it
has its own class. While 'Rann' is gripping but has managed only around
30 percent opening. There has been no initial for this one. It has its
own class but no mass appeal,' he added.
