I Like the VERSATILITY of SRK and Hrithik


SRK with Hrithik Roshan

Shah Rukh Khan has been in the industry for more than 20 years now and he has been giving HITs throughout his career. Most of his Hits is in Romantic genre and So media has tagged him the ‘King of Romance’. This has made many people believe that he is just keep on doing romantic movies which is far from truth. I am covering basically two points i.e. Versatility in choosing the type of movies and Versatility in acting. I am assuming that we know the meaning of versatility so that when I mention about the movies like Ra.One, Ashoka and Paheli you will not have any chance to say that they were Flops.

Versatility in choosing movies
I feel, among the present lot, SRK is the most versatile actor when it comes to choosing movies in different genres. He has done the role of a romantic hero who lures his heroines by his charm to a wicked man who can do anything for revenge of his father’s death. A mentally challenged man to a Superhero. Just look at his filmography and you can see the Diversity. Short film with Arundhati, KHKN, DDLJ, Baazigar, Dil se, PBDHH, Pardes, Hey Raam, Ashoka, Swades, Koyla, Baadshah, MNIK, OSO, CDI, Don, Ra.one.

Milind’s Reflections: Cinematic Thoughts on the Year gone by-2012!


It is imperative to note that the year that went by was not one of the best years for Cinema as such.Neither the Hindi film-makers,nor the southern ones,especially Tamil directors shell out something spectacularly brilliant.One also cannot dispute the fact that inspite of nothing extraordinary,there was some splash in the pan and some films did steal the hearts with their sheer honesty!

The year started with a remake of an old-cult classic called Agneepath that had given Bachchan a national award. Hrithik was nowhere near the persona of Bachchan [that inspite of being itself irritating at times was superlative in terms of the emphatic portrayal of a character betrayed by life]. Agneepath was never about raw power,nor was Scarface from which it was partially inspired.These two films were about characters and their confrontation with life amidst a debate between the duty to do good and the necessity to outdo evil with evil.The film did boast of a few superlative performances like Rishi Kapoor who was good in his role and did bring out the emotion with aplomb.Hrithik disappointed.Nothing new in it as SRK in his role as Vijay had put up a miserable performance compared to Bachchan’s legendary portrayal of the same!

My take on Bollywood in 2012


I made a similar post last year  LINK

1) Hrithik in Agneepath- Agneepath was a tough one to be remade and Karan Malhotra did good by having a fresh take towards it. The best thing about this movie was Hrithik as Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. Hrithik did really well by portraying a famous character in his own way and not trying to repeat anything Big B had done in the original. He excelled in the fight sequences, as well as in the emotional family scenes. The best thing about Hrithik’s performance was that since it was distinct and dedicated, it took all scope of comparison out of the frame. A very good performance.

2) Irrfan in Paan Singh Tomar-I found Paan Singh Tomar a really average film. I thought the direction was average and so was the cinematography and background score. However despite some noteworthy flaws, Paan Singh Tomar became a legendary film, due to a tour de force performance by Irrfan. He was the Paan Singh Tomar right from the first till the last frame. It was one of those once in career kind of performances. Fortunately, with an actor like Irrfan, we may be able to see many more of these.

A point Dabangg 2 will most probably prove (about BO)


Dabangg2′s opening will be like of never heard before. That 31cr figure looks untouchable though, but a 55cr weekend in on cards. Be it single screens or multiplexes, opening weekend will be unimaginable! The 5 screener multiplexes can accommodate as many as 30 shows. The highest number of shows that a film got in multiplexes is ETT I believe. There is no film even closer to it. Dabangg2 might just break that record, thanks to its short length! The 9 screener PVR in Pune is aiming for 40 shows a day! I am still in state of shock!

Dabangg2 will also be proving one major point-

Many believes that ETT/Agneepath had advantage of first day being National Holiday, but no-body wanted to believe that there was equal sort of disadvantage both the films had to go through on its second day, which happened to be a working day! You cannot imagine a film like ETT to collect only 12.5-13cr on its second day. Whatever extravagant money ETT/AP collected on its first day, somewhere got counterbalanced on their respective second day, which was just like a monday. Yes, the business on this second day was more than what a normal monday does, but that is because the film is new in market.

EVA – Baap of ROI/trending method for BoxOffice


The first and foremost measure of performance that comes to one’s mind is profit/ROI- the accounting measure of performance. Someone has aptly said- profit is an opinion, not the fact. If this were not case , one would not have seen the debacle of big companies like Enron, World Com etc. All such companies managed their earnings well and have shown better performance in terms of ROI.

The thing is traditional measures ignore the definite requirement that the rate of return should be at least as high as the cost of capital.The cost of capital is the rate of return required to persuade the investor to make a given investment.Or a bare minimum margin which the investor expects by making a certain amount of investment.Economic Value Added (EVA) is a financial performance method to calculate the true economic profit of an investment. EVA can be calculated as net income minus a charge for the opportunity cost of the capital invested.

If EVA = 0 , Investment value neither added or eroded
EVA >1 , Investment value enhanced
EVA < 1 ,Investment value eroded.

The biggest catch of EVA is that it can be negative even for investments which have positive income!
