Just when everyone in Bengal was gearing up for a massive box-office clash between Prosenjit Chatterjee-Rituparna Sengupta's ‘Drishtikone’ and
Tollywood
heartthrob Dev's ‘Kabir’, during the Bengali New Year, latest reports indicate otherwise.
An interesting update on the potential box office clash indicates that Anjan Dutt's upcoming musical ‘Aami Ashbo Phirey’ may hit screens on the same date. If this latest report is to be believed then the release of ‘Drishtikone’ may get delayed to 27th April. In that case, there will be an inevitable clash with
Abir Chatterjee starrer ‘Guptodhoner Sondhaney’.
Last week industry sources revealed that there was a possibility of producer Kaustav Roy releasing ‘Shankar Mudi’ during the same time. Ironically, this film is also directed by Kaushik Ganguly. However, there hasn’t been any official confirmation.
The year 2014 saw a mega battle at the Bengali box-office with two big budget films - ‘Byomkesh Phire Elo’ and ‘Badshahi Angti’, releasing on the same day. While one film saw Abir Chatterjee as Byomkesh, the other had the actor playing the role of Feluda. Both films had the same producer, Kaustuv Roy who decided to introduce a twist in the box office clash to attract a wider audience.
