ASA NU MAAN WATNA DA
In his new film, Asa Nu Maan Watna Da, director MANOHAN SINGH looks at the other side of the coin. This film depicts what happens to those who return to their homeland after a prolonged absence abroad. This film is a roller coaster ride of human emotions, told through mesmerizing and enchanting music, filled with tears, laughter, and romance, decorated with the scenic beauty of western Canada and India, and crafted with astonishing cinematography of HARMEET SINGH. Could Love bloom within two young hearts, born and raised in two different lands? Does forgiveness and love calm the stormy ocean of human hearts? What does the West offer the East and what does the East offer the West? Is unity possible?

It's the Time to Bhangra With the quiet success of an NRI saga, Punjabi films look set to do a jig after more than a decade in the dumps, says Madhur Singh In the land of sarson de khet, directors Mani Ratnam and Farah Khan now face stiff competition. Not from each other, but from Manmohan Singh. The Bollywood cinematographer-turned-director’s Asa Nu Maan Watna Da, which deals with the experiences of NRIs who decide to return home, is running to packed houses and looks all set to create history by becoming the highest grossing Punjabi film ever. ‘‘Within the first three weeks of its Punjab release on May 7, its collections have been more than those of any Punjabi film ever, even though it is competing with the likes of Yuva and Main Hoon Na,’’ says Ravi Kant Walia, the film’s distributor for Punjab. Gurinder Chadha can bend it a bit too. Audiences in the UK, US and Canada are also queuing up and ‘‘there’s 10 days’ advance booking for the film’s tickets in Toronto and Birmingham,’’ says Dr Dalwinder Singh, who has distributed the film abroad. The once successful Punjabi film industry seems to be on the way up again. ‘‘Asa Nu... has proved that Punjabi films can draw audiences, compete with Bollywood films and make money,’’ says Manmohan Singh. His lead actor and current Punjab heart-throb Harbhajan Mann agrees. ‘‘The success of Asa Nu... will definitely have a cascade effect. ETC channel has already announced three Punjabi films.’’ There are certainly some interesting projects and big names waiting to hit the silver screen. Producer Manjeet Mann’s Des Hoya Pardes, which stars Juhi Chawla, Gurdas Mann, Divya Dutta and Parmeet Sethi, is in the post-production stage. Pind Di Kudi, an Indo-Pak joint venture, is being produced by Iqbal Singh Dhillon of Shaheed Udham Singh fame. Directed by Sukhwant Dada, who earlier directed Ek Chadar Maili Si, it stars Sarvjeet Cheema, Sheeba Butt (of Bakra Kishton Pe fame) and well-known Pakistani theatre personality Tarik Javied. The film is slated for a June release. ‘‘Our film tells the story of Bhands and Marasis (professional jesters), an integral part of our culture who are dying out,’’ says Dhillon. “We’re planning three Punjabi films with a budget of Rs 3-4 crore each. We're talking to established Bollywood directors, producers and music directors with a Punjabi background, and you can expect some big names to be associated with the films,” says Rabindra Narayan, president, ETC Punjabi. The channel is also launching a Punjabi film festival, starting this month and ending on August 15, in which seven Pakistani Punjabi films will be aired. The thriving Punjabi film industry that produced nationwide hits such as Chann Pardesi, Nanak Naam Jahaj and Laung Da Lishkara, virtually perished in the late ’80s. The reasons were many: To cater to the masses, compromises were made on quality. Money was scarce; the state government refused to subsidise the inferior products, and audiences turned to Bollywood. Finally, terrorism dealt the death blow. However, with the return of normalcy in the late ’90s, industrywallahs began to pick up the pieces. In 1999, Jaspal Bhatti’s Mahaul Theek Hai, a spoof on the corrupt police force, became a hit within Punjab. Next, Gurdas Mann’s home production starring himself and Divya Dutta, Shaheed-E-Mohabbat Boota Singh, won a National Award in the regional film category. But it was only in 2000 that a Punjabi film actually made money. Jee Aayan Nu, which dealt with NRIs’ struggle to adjust to their foreign surroundings while staying true to their roots, starred reigning pop sensation Harbhajan Mann, Bollywood actress Priya Gill and model Kirandeep Kimmi, and was a hit in Punjab and abroad. ‘‘The film had a multi-crore budget, which was unheard of in Punjabi cinema. People thought we were crazy, but we proved them wrong,’’ says Manmohan Singh, who shot Yash Chopra films such as Chandni, Lamhe and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge and also directed Jee Aayan Nu. ‘‘I wanted to make a product comparable to the best in Bollywood,’’ says Singh. Even as Asa Nu... sets the box-office registers ringing, there’s news that producer Vicky Kumar, who recently produced the Sunny Deol-starrer Lakeer, has signed Karisma Kapoor for a Punjabi film. Though Kapoor’s secretary, Zayed Khan, says she hasn’t yet given her nod, the idea has got the industry excited. ‘‘Punjabis have always been the backbone of Bollywood. If they decide to turn their eyes back home, the possibilities are immense,’’ says Singh. Bobby Deol, Akshaye Khanna and Karisma Kapoor in a Yash Chopra-produced Punjabi film, anyone?

see story from indiafm Om Puri -- Amrish Puri clash By Taran Adarsh Wednesday, 23 June , 2004, 11:21 The super-success of Punjabi film Asa Nu Maan Watna Da has infused life in the Punjabi film industry. Not only is the film doing phenomenally well in Punjab, but is also setting new records in the Overseas territory. Like Maherchi Sadi revived the Marathi film industry and Bai Chali Sasariye revived interest in Rajasthani films, Asa Nu Maan Watna Da has prompted a number of producers to start Punjabi films now. Deepak Grewal, who had been associated with Shekhar Kapur and Rajkumar Santoshi in the capacity of a production executive and associate director, has now turned independent director and his first film, in Punjabi, will star two giants -- Om Puri and Amrish Puri -- in stellar roles.
Produced by a Canadian of Indian origin, Pinky Basrao, the film, titled Yaariyan, will be shot entirely in Canada in August and September this year. "It's a genuinely different film," Deepak states, "Both Om-ji and Amrish-ji were floored by the script [also penned by Deepak]." Incidentally, this is the second time the two actors have been pitted against each other in a Punjabi film, after Chan Pardesi, which, when released, proved a huge grosser.
Yaariyan co-stars the icon of Punjabi movies, Gurdas Maan, in a key role. Deepak has also signed an East African actor Okuku, who speaks Punjabi fluently. Adesh Shrivastava and Sachin Ahuja score the music. Indiafm

OVERSEAS BOX-OFFICE By Taran Adarsh, July 08th, 2004 - 1100 hrs IST 'HUM TUM' CONTINUES TO RULE! Weekend: July 2-4, 2004. The weekend collections of a majority of Hindi films being screened in U.K. and U.S. are far from rosy. While HUM TUM is holding on well in the two countries, the biggies have not made much of an impression. Let's have a look at the weekend business of Hindi films…<br> U.K. BOX-OFFICE The collections of DEEWAAR have registered a steep fall. While the film debuted at No. 14 position last weekend, the film has slipped to No. 21 in its second weekend. It has collected £ 14,352 on 16 screens, taking its total to £ 69,071 [approx. Rs 58.56 lacs]. Its per screen average has been a mere £ 897. Sad, but true! Meanwhile, the collections of LAKSHYA continue to fall [last weekend: No. 10, this weekend: No. 16]. In its third weekend, the film has collected £ 23,028 on 28 screens, with the per screen average working out to £ 822. The total so far is £ 255,028 [approx. Rs. 2.16 crores]. However, HUM TUM is rock-steady [last weekend: No. 17, this weekend: No. 17 - wow!]. In its sixth weekend, the Saif-Rani love story has collected £ 16,115 on 18 screens, with the average per print working out to £ 895. The total so far has been a remarkable £ 593,614 [approx. Rs. 5.03 crores]. The new release, SHIKAAR, has debuted at No. 25 position, collecting £ 9,140 on 10 screens [approx. Rs. 7.74 lacs], with the per screen average working out to £ 914. The Punjabi smash-hit ASA NU MAAN WATNA DA is steady as well [last weekend: No. 30, this weekend: No. 37]. In its eighth weekend, the film has collected £ 2,381 on 2 screens, with the per screen average working out to £ 1,191. The total so far has been £ 164,796 [approx. Rs. 1.39 crores]. DEV has been rejected outright [last weekend: No. 42, this weekend: No. 59]. In its fourth weekend, this Big B-Om Puri starrer has collected £ 321 on 2 screens, with the per screen average being £ 161. Its total is now £ 82,635 [approx. Rs. 70.04 lacs]. U.S.A. BOX-OFFICE The collections of LAKSHYA continue to drop [last weekend: No. 26, this weekend: No. 42]. However, this Hrithik starrer has fared better in the U.S. than in U.K. In its third weekend, the film has collected $ 58,034 on 38 screens, with the per screen average being $ 1,527. The total so far has been $ 700,085 [approx. Rs. 3.21 crores]. HUM TUM is steady [last weekend: No. 64, this weekend: No. 73]. It has collected $ 8,971 on 7 screens in its sixth weekend, with the per screen average working out to $ 1,282. The total so far has been $ 787,794 [approx. Rs. 3.62 crores]. see www.indiafm.com/boxoffice/overseas/08jul04.shtml |
