Mumbai, Nov 5 (Ians) Just about everything that is multiplex cinema is proving to be a liability for the film industry and, maybe, also for its landlords.

And the various state governments that gave all kinds of concessions to enable multiplexes to be built, disregarding the single screens, have not helped in any way.

It was a strange way to promote a new cinema exhibition business entity. Easy acquisition of land, an entertainment tax holiday for five years and, thereafter, the assurance that the tax would be applicable only in stages. This was in total disregard of the survival of single screens that were expected to live with the same tax structure

Building multiplex properties was the business of the future for many. Zee’s Fun Republic, Fame Adlabs, Reliance Big, Satyam Cinemas and Hdil were among the initial entrants. They were also the first to get out.

“Jawan,” featuring Khan in a dual role as a father and son who set out to rectify corruption in Indian society, opened on Sept. 7 and shattered the star’s own Bollywood opening day record. It now has a total of $130.3 million, according to numbers released by producer Red Chillies Entertainment, besting “Pathaan,” which opened in January and concluded its run with $126 million.

In third place on the 2023 Indian box office chart, behind the two Khan vehicles, are Sunny Deol’s “Gadar 2” with $83 million, Rajinikanth’s “Jailer” with $78.2 million and Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” with $42.8 million.

In the all-time Indian box office pantheon, “Jawan” and “Pathaan” now occupy fifth and sixth places respectively.

After Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri pulled off a sleeper hit last year with ‘The Kashmir Files’, which was as much a box-office success as it was hugely controversial, expectations were high from ‘The Vaccine War’, the director’s take on the story of Covaxin.

‘The Vaccine War’, starring Nana Patekar and Pallavi Joshi in the lead roles, however, has had a terrible run in its initial four days at the box office.

The film, according to the trade website Sacnilk.com, has reported a net collection of Rs 6 crore. The figure includes a projected net earning of Rs 2.5 crore on Sunday, which will only be confirmed on Monday.

Compare this with the Rs 27.15 crore ‘The Kashmir Files’ made on its opening weekend, after starting with Rs 3.55 crore on Day One. And of course, it ended up making Rs 250.41 crore, which sealed its positions as one of the top-grossing movies of 2022.

Comedy is the most difficult of all genres, and we have all seen some wonderfully amusing films that made us convulse with laughter or made us chuckle and crease up. Kishore Kumar’s films, notably ‘Half Ticket’ and ‘Padosan’; or many of Mahmood’s comic capers are hard to emulate. Priyadarshan’s films, in the recent past, have had us rolling with uncontrollable laughter, but an out-and-out comedy is still few and far between.

After the two successful franchises of ‘Fukrey’ in 2013 and ‘Fukrey Returns’ in 2017, writer Vipul Vig and director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba must have thought that they could pull off another entertainer and laugh all the way to the bank.

No harm in dreaming, but didn’t they know that they needed a script – a solid one at that – to allow fine actors to play around with?
