Helicopter Eela, starring Kajol and Riddhi Sen, hit screens on October 12. Despite releasing in a week crowded by many Bollywood and Hollywood releases, the Pradeep Sarkar directorial has so far earned Rs 1.60 crore.
“That Kajol is capable of single-handedly lifting a movie, and lighting up the screen, is another. But Helicopter Eela is so saddled with banal story-telling, stretched sub-plots and exaggerated performances, including and especially from the lead actress, that it never really takes off.”
