What’s common in Shahid-Amrita and Aamir-Juhi?

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,November 11 2006]

The on-screen pairing of Shahid Kapoora and Amrita Rao reminds me of the QSQT charm of Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla. Somehow both the pairings have one thing in common. Aamir and Juhi started their career together with ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ and followed it up with ‘Love Love Love’, ‘Ishq’ and a few forgettable ones. While Shahid and Amrita too began their innings together with ‘Ishq Vishq’ while ‘Wah Life Ho To Aisi’, ‘Shikhar’ and the recent release ‘Vivah’.

The best part about both these pairs is their comfort level. Their chemistry reeks more of romance-n-compassion than overt sexuality. Some how there’s a deep level of respect and understanding of each other. And it makes for palpable viewing. ‘Vivah’ establishes Shahid and Amrita as a lead pair that can have wider ramifications on a vast audience. Whether they manage to give as big hit films as Aamir and Juhi remains to be seen, but there’s every possibility that this jodi is going to be talked about for sure.

Meet the mystery woman in 'I See You'

When the first theatrical promo of 'I See You' was shown along with 'Don', there was a strong buzz about the leading heroine of the film. Reason? Her face was not shown throughout the promo while there was no information whatsoever about who played the part.

Box Office Analysis

Poor hype, zero buzz and below average promotion through satellite medium were three big reasons that led to the downfall of 'Umrao Jaan' from the very first show of its release. In spite of an additional grace period coming as a blessing in disguise after the film's release was being pushed from Diwali to now, 'Umrao Jaan' couldn't capitalize at all on it and as the days progressed, the interest
