Box Office: Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan's '72 Hoorain' Scores A Low Opening Weekend

Mumbai, July 10 - National-award winning filmmaker Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan's latest film "72 Hoorain" has had a low opening weekend at the box office as the movie could score approx. 1.25 crores net in three days. ## Starring Pavan Malhotra and Ameer Bashir in lead roles, "72 Hoorain" was hit by controversy even before its release as a section accused the makers of hurting religious sentiments through the movie. CBFC granted the movie 'A' certificate. ## Unlike "The Kerala Story", this kind of controversy failed to hype up "72 Hoorain" as the movie almost went unnoticed at the box office in the opening weekend. It took a low start and netted just 35 lacs, before scoring approx. 45 lacs each on Saturday and Sunday. ## Produced by Gulab Singh Tanwar, Ashoke Pandit, Kiran Dagar, and Anirudh Tanwar, the movie is unlikely to make a miraculous turnaround going forward as word of mouth is almost negligible due to extremely low footfalls in the first three days.## Stay tuned...

Because I am you, for better or worse".## In between the dialogues, the actor indulges in some high-octane action scenes before we get to see glimpses of the soldier character that SRK plays.

Producer Ronni Screwvala Confirms Vicky Kaushal-Fronted 'Sam Bahadur Won't Be Postponed From December 1

Mumbai, July 4 - The Bollywood release calendar continues to shuffle and yet, it is becoming hard for the filmmaker to find a solo release date for their films.

It was supposed to release on August 11 but has now been postponed to December 1st this year due to delay in the post-production work. Just like its original date, "Animal" won't get a solo release and will directly clash with Vicky Kaushal's "Sam Bahadur" and the comedy "Fukrey 3". ## Directed by Meghna Gulzar, "Sam Bahadur" is a huge film but at the moment, "Animal" carries massive hype which makes it a strong contender to emerge as a box office hit. After the movie was postponed to December 1st, there have been rumors that "Sam Bahadur" might get postponed as it deserves a solo release, however, producer Ronnie Screwvala has denied such rumors and confirmed that it will be released as scheduled without worrying about clash with other movies. ## "We have announced our Sam Manekshaw release date months in advance and we intend to come on December 1st, come what may. We are a film about one of the greatest men to have served his country and we hope audiences support us totally. Content works - it's no longer about Friday openings - audiences are sharp and decide on their own", the producer said to Pinkvilla. ## "Sam Bahadur" is based on the life of Sam Manekshaw who was the Chief of the Army Staff of the Indian Army during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, and the first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the rank of field marshal.## Vicky Kaushal plays the title role while the movie also stars "Dangal" girls Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh as the female leads.
