Bollywood summer Race!

March 23, 2008

The big Bollywood summer officially kicked off on a triple delight day, 21st March, a unique day on which Holi, Good Friday and Milad-e-Sharif (in parts of India) coincided. This meant that nearly everyone had the day off, at least in North India and there couldn’t have been a better date to release a film thought the subsequent days have the shadows of examinations

looming over them. It was on this day that Race released and going by trade reports from different circuits the movie has literally ‘raced’ off to a great start.

This comes as no surprise as the Hindi audience have been starved off a big release since Jodha Akbar and the movie features some big names like Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Anil Kapoor and as many heroines in Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy. With the perfect formula for a summer biggie director duo Abbas Mustan, regarded as the best Bollywood has to offer for thrillers, it seems that nothing can go wrong.

With a mega release, official figures stand at more than 3000 shows a day in India, Race is all set to take over as the Bollywood torchbearer from Jodha Akbar which has been running for quite some time now, and carry on until the next big summer release is ready to take over.
