Baazaar box office collection Day 1: The Saif Ali Khan film is off to a slow start. The movie will face stiff competition from Ayushmann Khurrana''s Badhaai Ho.
Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte starrer Baazaar, which released on Friday, is expected to get overshadowed by Ayushmann Khurrana’s family entertainer Badhaai Ho. Baazaar is likely to collect Rs 2.5 crore on its opening day.
That’s how Michael Douglas’s Gordon Gecko got to redefine greed in Wall Street in 1987 to the up and coming Charlie Sheen’s bright new boy on the floor; Baazaar in 2018 is almost the same film in a different setting, but with none of the sharpness of the original. The treatment is moth-balled (a line in English is translated immediately after in Hindi) and hackneyed. Bad songs punctuate the proceedings. Background music is used to buoy almost every scene. We’ve seen almost each of those beats before, to the point we can tell what the character is going to say next,” a section of her review read.
