Nanu ki Jaanu starring Abhay Deol is releasing alongside Majidi’s Beyond the Clouds, this Friday.
Naanu Ki Jaanu is a remake of 2014 Tamil hit Pisaasu and will also star Love Games actor Patralekhaa.
The film is a dark comedy and revolves around a Delhi Gangster who gets shocked and spooked when he finds a ghost in his house. The film also has a romantic angle between the ghost and Abhay’s character. The film is helmed by Faraz Haider.
Abhay who was last seen in Happy Bhag Jayegi does enjoy a certain fan following but he is not one of those typical A-listers of Bollywood. So the question is will Nanu Ki Jaanu be able to attract enough viewers to theatres?
Girish Johar, Film trade analyst predicts that the film might be able to rake in about a crore of rupees on its opening day. He also added “Nanu Ki Jaanu is not the kind of film that would open to a huge crowd but over the coming few days if it receives good reviews, its collections can definitely go considerably higher. Further, if the feedback of the film is nice, audiences will definitely show up at the theatres.”
Rajkummar Rao’s Omerta and Sumeet Vyas’ High Jack were also planned to release on the same date as Nanu Ki Jaanu. But with both the films shifting their releases to other dates, April 20 only has Nanu Ki Jaanu and Beyond the Clouds. Both the movies belong to two completely different genres and will cater to a different audience too.
Varun Dhawan and Shoojit Sircar’s October is expected to continue its strong run at the box office, even Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi2 is expected to earn big bucks said Johar, speaking about the previous releases this month
Abhay is a fine actor and has come up with stellar performances in OyeLuckey and Zindagi na milegi doobaara and there is much expectations riding on his shoulder. Who knows Nanu kiJaanu might just be the surprise hit of the year.
