This Diwali offered a triple bonanza to the movie goers. Not one but three big budgeted movies with top stars were released. The movies that were released All The Best, Blue and Main Aur Mrs Khanna had top notch stars of the bollywood. Millions were riding on the success of these movies. The movies were also an indicator of success starved bollywood this year. 2009 has relatively been a cold affair for bollywood business but thankfully Blue and All The Best managed to open on bumper notes. It is being said that combined collections of these two movies are now the best ever in the history of Bollywood. That is something to cheer for! Those stats also put at rest the rumours of economic recovery sustainability. According to trade sources, Blue has netted no less than 33 crores in the first week and All The Best has also managed to garner net 25 crores. However, Main Aur Mrs Khanna did not get rave reviews and opened on poor collections of mere 8 crores. All in all, bollywood netted 65 crores in Diwali week.

The earlier held record of highest grossing Diwali week was by Golmaal Returns and Fashion that had garnerd 60 crores. But i must point out that earlier collection was achieved on a 9 days extended run as both the films had released on Wednesday. That definitely makes it a cheerful reason for bollywood to celebrate this festive season. All The Best has continued its winning runs in following week whereas Blue has slightly been subsided. However it must be noted that collections would have been much higher had both films been released separately. But what has worked in their favour is subsequent releases like Fruit And Nut and Bal Ganesha proved to be dud at the box office. They have one more week to enjoy before London Dreams and Aladin releases.

Blue was one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Movie had promised a lot because of its huge star cast and splendid actions never seen before on the Indian screens. The budget of the movie was said to be extremely extravagant. Blue has been extensively shot in heavenly waters of Bahamas and producers have left no stone unturned in making those underwater sequences memorable. But somewhere movie fails to deliver the final punch. Despite all the hype and tons of expectations, few things about the movie seem quite out of the place.

Dialogues leave a lot to be desired and the final twist was nothing less than a childish gimmick. A movie needs to have some substance to back its style quotient. The movie has definitely opened up on good footfalls but it is a matter of speculation how long it will be able to sustain interest of the people. The movie stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Jayed Khan and Lara Dutta. Akshay has got a new goatee for the movie and has definitely the lead role of the movie. Lara looks stunning in bikini and underwater scenes whereas Sanjay Dutt seems to have some issues with weight.

The movie is about treasure hunt buried deep within the ocean. The movie also has a song by Kylie Minogue and it has been quite a hit amongst the people. Songs have been composed by Maestro A R Rehman and needless to say, you are sure to love them. Just check any song and you are bound to love it. The background score and stunts shown in the movie are definitely worth a watch.

The third big release of the Diwali was Main Aur Mrs Khanna starring Salman Khan. The movie had all the potential to be an intense and complicated love story but somehwre it lost its focus. Script was below par and that explains why it was the poorest performer amongst the three releases of the Diwali. Movie could not cash on Salman’s recent success Wanted. Other stars of the movie were Kareena and Sohail Khan. The theme of the movie was quite sensitive and it could have been a memorable experience had there been more focus on tight script and better screenplay. But then, what if situation is not of much use once the damage has been done.

The story line revolves around marital conflicts between Mr and Mrs Khanna played by Salman and Kareena respectively. They go against their families wishes and tie the nuptial knot and move to Melbourne. But soon they start to face financial issues and Salman leaves for Singapore whereas Kareena is left waiting at Melbourne airport. She is devastated but joins a job at the airport itself where she befriends Sohail khan and thats where the real twist in the story starts.

Sohail was extremely helpful to her and in the process loses his heart to her whereas Kareena does not see him as anything more than a friend. In the meantime, Salman returns with a fat valet and thereafter it’s a emotional rollercoaster ride for all the three lead characters. Movie leaves you with certain questions and somewhere few links are missing. Music has been given by Salman’s favourite Sajod-Wajid and its pretty okay.
