Movie Review: Yeh Mera India;
Star Cast: Anupam Kher, Parvin Dabas, Perizad Zorabian, Vijay Raaz, Atul Kulkarni, Seema Biswas, Rajpal Yadav and Smilie Suri;
What makes Y.M.I a winner are its terrific dialogues and Chandra’s handling of disturbing sequences with every single actor from the ensemble cast delivering an excellent performance.
The film has an ensemble cast and the actors infuse life in their characters. In fact, every actor in YEH MERA INDIA leaves a mark, but the ones who stand out are Anupam Kher, Parvin Dabas, Vijay Raaz, Atul Kulkarni, Seema Biswas, Rajpal Yadav and Smilie Suri.
On the whole, YEH MERA INDIA is a film that grows on you. It's a great drama. A smooth storyline and narration. It's a film that the common man would connect with. At the box-office, this film will be hit thanks to a strong word of mouth. That's how the movie "Wednesday" also picked up.
Rating : *** (3/5)
Box office Update on recent movies..
The biggies have again failed to attract masses. If London Dreams managed an average collection of 55-60% on the first day, Aladin had a dull opening and witnessed only 10-12% collection. As far as ‘Aladin’ goes, the movie has to struggle really hard to at least make up for its production costs. It collected around Rs 4.35 crore in its first weekend. Nevertheless, kids are loving the movie, if not their parents.
However, according to reports, ‘London Dreams’ can garner better collection but a lot depends on this weekend. The film can face tough competition from Rajkumar Santoshi’s cute love story "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" and Madhur Bhandarkar’s Jail.
On the contrary, comedy has done its trick at the BO; "All The Best" is still doing good in it’s second week with around Rs 13 crore collection. The film has now collected approx Rs 35 crore in two weeks. The collections of Blue continue to dip in the second week with business around only Rs 8 crore.
The box-office sunshine, "Wake Up Sid", picks up again in its fourth week and has done business of around Rs 1.75 crore. The movie is a semi hit now.
