Overview: The ultimate Khiladi guru Akshay
Kumar is back in his “Khiladi” mode after 12 long years for this movie, which is
a big plus point. The film is an action comedy one with loads of masala and
larger than life attitude. The music of the film is already hit in the
chartbusters. This is the 8th installment Khiladi film, with that the
Khiladi franchisee is considered as the biggest franchisee of Bollywood. The
film featured Asin in the female lead. She looked stunning as usual, though
there is little scope for her to act as the script does not demand that at all.
It also has some mind blowing actors like Paresh Rawal, Mithun Chakrabarty
& Raj Babbar. They have done full justice to their role. This movie is a
treat to those who like action masala films. The story is not up to the mark
and at some point the directing is also little bit clueless. The movie has some
beautiful one liner where Khiladi Akshay is in full form. This is not an
intellectual movie for sure. This is a completely fun-loving movie with loads
of logic less laughing scenes. In short it’s an Entertaining film with
loads of masala.
Boxoffice Expectation: The film is releasing in 2700+ screens in
India, which is huge indeed. These types of masala films attract the small
screen audience very much. So the movie is very much likely to do good business
in the small screens of all over the India. Though the overseas business is not
likely to score big but it should not affect the film as the budget is not that
huge (Rs. 45 Crore). Akshay Kumar already gave three hits this year like
Houseful 2, Rowdy Rathore and OMG-Oh My God. Khiladi 786 is surely going to be
his fourth hit of this year. The multiplex business of the film will be
affected due to Amir Khan’s Talaash. The film will suffer a lot after its first weekend
due to the biggest release of the year Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2. The film’s overall business will be affected due to this sandwich
scenario, but it is expected that the movie will score big in its first weekend
only. Khiladi 786 is likely to do well in the North India mainly specially Punjab,
Pune etc. This is true that movie will do good business but to be honest we don’t think it will cross 100 Crore Nett in India, that will be really a tough nut to break
for Khiladi 786.
