Ready in good demand abroad

So what if Asin Thottumkal, the leading lady of “Ready”, was missing from the Dubai premiere of the movie? Bollywood star Salman Khan, who gave one of the biggest hits of recent times with “Dabangg”, drew in a massive crowd at the event, says director Anees Bazmee.

“Ready” is Salman’s first release after the success of “Dabangg”, and is quite awaited thanks to its peppy numbers “Character dheela hai” and “Dhinka chika”. No wonder the Dubai audience gave him a warm welcome there.

The curiosity and excitement among the crowd also gave producers Bhushan Kumar and Kishan Kumar, as well as Bazmee a new high.

“It was an experience not to be forgotten easily. There were as many people standing outside the four screenings we had in Dubai as there were inside the theatres,” Bazmee said on returning to Mumbai Thursday morning.

As reported earlier Asin couldn’t accompany the “Ready” team to Dubai due to her passport hassles.

However, Bazmee says the team felt her absence at the event.

“It is strange that easily-recognisable celebrities too have to submit their passports for visas. One can understand the less visible members of the unit being asked to do so. But the heroine of a film? Anyway, we missed Asin at Dubai,” he said.

Ready tops in Box Office

Actor Salman Khan has done it again. After breaking the collections records of 3 Idiots with regards to first few days with his Dabangg, his film ‘Ready’ has now emerged as the second highest opening film of Bollywood for a weekend.

‘Ready’ till now has netted an amount of Rs. 40.65 cr with in three days. The collection figures for the weekend are; Friday-13.15 cr, Saturday-12.25 cr and Sunday-15.25 cr.

So as of now Top 5 opening weekends belong to Dabangg which netted 48.5 cr followed by Ready at 40.65 cr, 3 Idiots at 40 cr, Tees Maar Khan at 38 cr and Golmaal Returns-36 cr respectively.

And With the way ‘Ready’ is going on Monday; sure expect it to be the second highest grossing film for the first week.

Salman Khan is special for me says Asin

Asin is waiting for her June 3rd release Ready movie, starring Salman Khan in the lead. This film is crucial for the actress as Ready’s result would decide the future of her in Bollywood. This is a remake of Telugu hit with same name.

Salman Khan has been the mentor for Asin in B town, who signed her in London Dreams and Ready. She has a very good rapport with him and says that she has never come across anyone like Salman in tinsel town. “Cinema industry is known for double standards and Salman doesn’t have any,” Asin told.

“He never speaks one thing on the face and other on your back,” said Asin about Salman Khan. He is something special and I would love to act with him again and again, she added. Asin also condemned the rumors linking with Salman and told they share a good professional relationship and just that!

Katrina Kaif desperately needs Salman Khan for her career

Salman Khan is on Katrina Kaif’s priority list. Wait, don’t come to any conclusions. No, this is nothing to do about their affair and breakup. Katrina is seriously chasing Salman only to bag a movie opposite him.

If we get into the details Salman Khan is looking for a suitable pair in Yash Raj Films production. Katrina Kaif came to know about this and started to woo him as she badly needs a biggie in her kitty now. After the debacle of Tees Maar Khan, Kat has not a single big budget film on her hands.

Katrina Kaif has rejected Salman Khan’s Bodyguard remake citing unexplainable reasons and now she is regretting that. Will Salman consider Katrina’s request and give her an opportunity to star opposite him again. Only time will tell.

Salman khan thrashes ready reviews and critics

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is right now running through the form of his life. His recent movie Ready is doing wonders at the box office despite bad reviews. Most of the critics have written off this film and stated that it is one of the worst films ever made. Director Anees Baazmee’s work was shred into pieces by many.

However, Ready box office performance is quite opposite to critics view. The film has opened so well at the box office that it took the second place in the all time best openers list. Ready is placed in between Dabangg and 3 Idiots in the highest opening collections.

Salman Khan is happy by the way Ready is being received, but is very unhappy with the reviews and critics. He said that all those who love the film can’t be stupid. “Do the 0 and 1 ratings are justified with the box office result?” Salman posed a straight question to all those who had written off this film.

Ready Review – Ready Movie Review – Ready Rating, Hindi Movie Review

Salman Khan is back after rocking the box office with his previous film Dabangg. This time he is Ready with a family entertainer which falls under the category of comedy/drama/family. Ready lacks Salman Khan’s dose of action and people who go to theatres should be prepared for it. We review Ready for you…

Story:

Pooja aka Sanjana Singh (Asin) runs away from her evil uncles who want to steal all her properties by marrying her to either of their songs. She confronts with Prem (Salman Khan) and eventually they love each other. But Sanjana’s uncles find her and take her away. Prem uses his brains and starts the bluff game. How he marries his girl by making her uncles realize their mistakes is the rest of the story.

Analysis:

Ready is a remake of Telugu hit movie with the same name. Ram, a rising hero played the lead role in it. Salman Khan, who is a superstar, chose to do this role after setting box office on fire with Danbangg. It would be hard for Salman’s mass fans to see him in a sober role which hardly needs to flex his muscles. Especially it will be even harder to accept him in such an ineffective role after that iconic Chulbul Pandey act.

Adding to this director Anees Bazmee’s lackluster screenplay in the first hour made Ready a boring fare. Salman tried his best to infuse life into it but only did in very few instances. Bazmee changed the first half scenes from the original to make it suit to the tastes of Bollywood audience. Although the original’s first hour wasn’t up to the mark it was engaging and in contrast to the second hour which helped big time.

Anees Bazmee tried to make Ready a fulltime entertainer by having too much family drama and so called entertainment in the first half. However, he missed a golden chance of giving the much needed action and mass masala to Salman fans by changing the scenes from the original. Bazmee should have stuck to the original and might have bettered it as he has a superstar at his service. Instead he tried to stick to his image of churning mindless comic capers and that didn’t help for Ready’s course. Most importantly he ruined the character of Paresh Rawal’s which was played by Brahmanandam in the original. For Ready in Telugu this character is the heart and soul and Bazmee failed to understand it.

He retained most of the scenes from the original in second half and few of those worked too. Anees Bazmee tries too hard to make audiences laugh by including vulgar jokes which is absolutely not needed. He could have hired a good translator and translated all the good and neat jokes from the original. Ready, on a whole works only in parts. All the changes that the director brought in prove the fact that he is out of form at the moment.

Dhinka Chika and Character Dheela songs are the saving grace along with Salman’s stunning screen presence. Few jokes here and there worked but Ready is just below the average mark as a wholesome film.

Performances:

Salman Khan is the reason for all the hype surrounding this film and he would be the only savior to make this film a hit or whatever it manages to collect. He did his part so well and used his sense of humor to light up the scenes. His dances in Dhinka Chika are simply superb. Asin looked pale in many scenes and okay in few. An actress of Kareena’s caliber is needed to play this role. Paresh Rawal is good but the director didn’t use his talent properly. There is a horde of artists and everyone did their bit.

Tehnicalities:

Devi Sri Prasad rocked his Bollywood debut with his Dhinka Chika the new chant of B town. Pritam is the main music composer and he is good with his Character Dheela number. Background score is too loud. Dialogues by Farhad are just okay. Sunil Patel’s cinematography is up to the mark. Most of the film is done indoors and even then the cinematographer managed to pull it off with colorful cinematography. Art department played their part in doing so.

Anees Bazmee’s humor sparkled here and there. Putting the interval card as ‘Pee Break’ which later changes to ‘Tee break’ is good. Also the timing in the scene in climax chase sequence where a bike runs over a goon’s leg is hilarious. Bazmee should have stayed loyal to the original script for better results.

Plus Points:

- Salman Khan
- Comedy in the second hour
- Dhinka Chika, Character Dheela songs

Minus points:

- Boring first hour
- No mass masala elements
- Action part is too weak for a Salman film

Final Word: Ready – Not a tailor made film for Salman. But he tries his best to ‘fit’ in.

Box office predictions:

Ready should open to mind boggling collections all over. Thanks to Salman and the Dabangg factor. Ready will have a great first weekend and from then on it has to survive on the family audience. Ready is certainly not blockbuster Dabangg to Salman and not a disastrous Thank You from Anees Bazmee either.

Salman Khan shoots action scenes on tuk-tuk

Shah Rukh Khan shot action scenes on a desi cycle-rickshaw, Salman Khan decided to be different and performed his stunts on tuk-tuk, the Thai auto-rickshaw, in the narrow streets of Pattaya for Anees Bazmee’s “Ready”.
“It was Bhai’s (Salman’s) idea to shoot with tuk-tuks which are very fast and powerful. He wanted to shoot an action sequence nobody has done before,” Bhushan Kumar of T-Series said in a press statement.
“People have shot romantic songs or scenes perhaps, but such a high-voltage action sequence will be seen for the first time in ‘Ready’. People will enjoy this unique Thai action,” he added.

Shahrukh Khan Praises Salman Khan’s Ready

Bollywood Actor Shahrukh Khan was all praise for Salman Khan’s upcoming film Ready and believes it’s going to be a hit

Bollywood’s number one Khan, Shahrukh Khan believes that arch rival Salman Khan’s Ready is going to be a hit. The actor is reported to have told a leading tabloid that he feels optimistic about the movie and that it is going to be a huge success. Khan, however, hasn’t confirmed whether he, personally, will go to see the movie, but guarantees that his two kids would go and watch the film.

Ready has been one of the most awaited films of the year and promises full on entertainment. This comedy flick will see Salman Khan do what he does best – fight, romance a girl and do his awkward dance, not to forget, make his audience laugh.

Ready box office report

Salman Khan and Bollywood heartthrob Asin’s latest flick Ready has taken the cinemagoers by storm. The film was underrated before it hit the cinema, but within a couple of days after its launch, it transpires that the bad boy of Indian cinema Salman seems to have given another super hit.

He is the most trusted actor of the Bollywood, whose films do well almost always. It happens very rarely that a producer loses his money by casting Sallu in his venture. The indefatigable Khan always helps his producers make lots of money.

This is the reason that when every actor including Akshay Kumar have reportedly slashed their rates for signing a film, Sallu bhai has increased his rates. And producers instead of deserting him due to high rates, are flocking to his residence to sign him for his munh mangi qeemat.

Ready’s first day performance was extremely satisfying. It collected more than Rs 140 million, thus surpassing the record of Amir Khan’s super duper successful film 3 Idiots. Mind you, Salman Khan’s Dabangg holds the record for the highest first week grossing.

Bhushan Kumar, the producer is optimistic that despite the usual practice of panning Salman Khan’s film as ordinary, Ready is on its way to be the biggest hit of the year.  

In several places in the country, more especially in North India many show of the film begin at 5 am in the morning when it is still dark. Shah Rukh Khan, another Bollywood star and the bête noir of Sallu may rue the fact that he may never be able to get as good or half as good a response that Sallu gets from his fans.

The best thing about Ready is the fact that the response is getting better and better after every passing day. If the collection of the day one was 13.15 crore rupees, it went up substantially the next day and it has not declined even a bit

Salman Khans Ready takes a rip-roaring start at the box office

The Salman Khan magic is working again. His latest film Ready, despite being panned by majority of critics, is drawing footfalls to theatres. The Ready box office figures already have the distributors heaving a sigh of relief and eyeing a fat profit as well.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, the comedy film starring Asin and Salman Khan opened to a rip-roaring start on Friday. It saw the occupancy of 60 to 80 percent at both multiplexes and single screen theatres.
