Will BACHNA AE HASEENO reverse Yash Raj's fortune?

The first half of 2008 is over and it is crystal clear that from amongst the bigger players it is Yash Raj Films which is the biggest loser. After Victor's safe-as-a-house Anil, Akshay, Saif and Kareena starrer, TASHAN, which fell like a pack of cards, the fate of their second venture, Kunal Kohli's Saif-Rani starrer, THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC, also looks quite dicey, both in India and the Overseas.

However the wise men (popularly known as the box-office gurus!) feel that barring the animated ROADSIDE ROMEO, the revival of Yash Raj's fortune is round the corner. Their next venture, the August 15 release, BACHNA AE HASEENO, featuring Bipasha, Ranbir, Minissha and Deepika looks like a slick youthful entertainer. The director Siddharth Anand, who has already given YRF two decent successes in the form of SALAAM NAMASTEY and TA RA RUM PUM, looks in total control. Even Ranbir Kapoor looks great and like a worthy successor to his father's lover boy throne!

Well, an interesting clash is in the offing next month as BACHNA AE HASEENO takes on the Amitabh, Salman and Priyanka starrer, GOD TUSSI GREAT HO, on Independence day!
