Rohit Shetty's Golmaal Again become the highest grossing horror movie of all time in Bollywood.
Golmaal Again has collected 126 crores in just six days of its release.It surely has crossed the collection of all horror comedies ever made in Bollywood.
Horror Comedy – a genre less explored in Bollywood. We’ve seen some good movies in this genre but Golmaal Again has created a space for itself which surely will be extremely tough to cross
1965’s Bhoot Bungla was one of the first movies to start this trend in Bollywood. We’ve had some horror comedies too like Gang Of Ghosts and Hum Tum Aur Ghost. Recently released Tutak Tutak Tutiya is also one of the failed attempts in this risky genre.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Bhoothnath and Bhoothnath Returns which is more of a fantasy comedy also roams around somewhere in this genre. It did well for its time and is one of those movies kids like to watch on television.
There have been a couple of sci-fi films though that have entered the 100 Crore Club – Ra. One and Krrish 3. These were a different ballgame altogether though whereas Golmaal Again is in a different world altogether, considering the kind of franchise that Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty have built over the years gone by.
A senior crew member of the multi-starrer says, “This is a kind of film where you would laugh at all the supernatural jokes and thoroughly enjoy the fun ride that is in the offering. It is a unique fusion by itself and something new that is being offered to the audience; they haven’t seen or heard a story like this before.”
Golmaal Again has earned the flag from this bearer of this genre, Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Akshay Kumar’s horror comedy will always be everyone’s favorite in this space. Rohit Shetty has experimented with this genre and has opened gates for many to try something new in this space.
No wonder, trade is excited about how much further would Golmaal Again go from here and are pegging the film to come close to the 175 crore mark. In the times when even a simple hit would do to keep industry hopes alive, a bigger success would only spell good news for all involved. Fingers crossed!
Golmaal Again Starring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemmu, Shreyas Talpade, Parineeti Chopra, Tabu, Johnny Lever and Sanjay Mishra – Golmaal Again released on Diwali .It has already crossed many high grossing biggies in just 6 days.
