14 Years of Agneepath: Karan Johar on Yash Johar, Katrina Kaif and closure

Image
As a homage to your father Yash Johar and his Agneepath , you remade the film in 2012? I’m glad I could remake it and give it a hit status. It was exactly that a homage. A homage is a homage. I never saw it as a remake or an adaptation. For me, it was always a tribute to my father and to his dreams for that film. It was wonderful to see it attain hit status, and I believe we even managed a super-hit status. Looking back, is there a sense of satisfaction? I feel my job was done. I don’t compare it with my father’s Agneepath . That film is about a son’s revenge for his father. In a sense, my Agneepath was also my revenge. My Agneepath in 2012 was a son’s revenge, revenge against what, I don’t quite know but I felt my father was so broken at the time he was unfairly labelled a failure. His Agneepath didn’t deserve that tag. What made you choose Karan Malhotra to direct the film? I realised Karan Malhotra would be the right person because I had worked with him on My Name Is Khan ...

Border 2 Box Office: Film jumps well on Saturday, all set to enter Rs. 100 Crore Club in its opening weekend

Image
Border 2 has seen a good jump at the box office on Saturday. The film had collected Rs. 32.10 crores on Friday and now on Saturday it has not just breached the Rs. 40 crores mark but also collected a bit more to move all the way up to Rs. 40.59 crores. This is a solid jump and for a biggie like this, which has already opened on north of 30 crores, to now exceed Rs. 40 crores is a solid achievement. On Friday one expected the film to open well within Rs. 35-40 crores and when that didn’t happen, all eyes were on how the trajectory would look like on Saturday. Of course, even Rs. 32.10 crores was a superb number given the fact how films have been opening in the last 17 months since the last Rs. 50 crores+ opener Stree 2 (August 2024). However, since Border 2 is follow up to a classic, expectations were much higher as well. The good part is that word of mouth for the film is positive and that can well be seen in the way Saturday has behaved. While collections will jump today as well,...
