New Delhi:
Saif Ali Khan and Alaya Furniturewala starrer Jawaani Jaaneman hit the screens today and opened to rave reviews from the audience as well as critics alike. However, the film is expected to have a slow start at the box office. As per the latest report, the film is expected to open with a collection of Rs 3-4 crore.
Trade analyst Girish Johar was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times, "The people have loved the trailer and it has gained the attention of the youth. The makers have also recreated some hit old songs, which got a good response from the music lovers. 2020 has been very good for Saif after Tanhaji. Earlier also, he has been appreciated for such roles (as that in Jawaani Jaaneman) in Cocktail and Love Aaj Kal. The film is targeting metro cities and the youth and is also an introduction of Alaya F in Bollywood. It should get a decent start at Rs 3.5 crore - 4.5 crore, depending on word of mouth and how it performs in the evening on Friday."
"With Jawaani Jaaneman, Saif Ali Khan is doing the kind of film in which he excels. His films Cocktail and Love Aaj Kal which had him playing a similar character did well. This is his kind of film. The trailer is promising, and the music is also being enjoyed thoroughly. It has Tabu in a pivotal role and marks Pooja Bedi's daughter Alaya's Bollywood debut. So, overall it looks like a well-mounted film," an Indian Express report quoted Johar as saying.
Helmed by Nitin Kakar, Jawaani Jaaneman is the story of a single man who one day discovers he has a daughter and also meets the girl’s mother (played by Tabu). His life changes completely with the entry of the two women. Farida Jalal plays Saif’s mother and Kumud Mishra essays the role of his father. Kubbra Sait will be seen as his friend in the movie.
Besides this film, Himesh Reshammiya's Happy Hardy Heer and Malala Yousafzai's biopic Gul Makai also hit the screens today. Tanhaji, Panga and Street Dancer 3D are also still popular among moviegoers.
