Decent crowds for 'Band Baaja...' and 'No Problem'

"Obviously, comedies are in at the moment," states trade analyst Amod Mehra, matter-of-factly. According to him, both 'Band Baaja Baaraat' from Yash Raj Films and 'No Problem' by film-maker Anees Bazmee stand an equal chance at the box office. Mehra explains, "The two films are like the young versus the old. Anees Bazmee already has three hits in a row, but Band Baaja will do good with the younger audience."
Mehra also adds that while for actor Anushka Sharma, 'Band Baaja Baaraat' is her third film under the Yash Raj banner, if the film even does reasonable well, it will do wonders for her career. He adds, "'Band Baaja...' seems to have created a different buzz. I think both films will get decent crowd."
Trade expert Vajir Singh is of the opinion that whatever the opening might be for both the films, ultimately the content will have to prove. He says, "Going by the promos and the starcast, 'No Problem' will have an upper hand in single screens but in city multiplexes, 'Band Baaja Baaraat' will have an upper hand. But content will eventually prove."

Ajay the most versatile actor: Kajol

Ajay Devgn is the most versatile actor, says his wife Kajol, who also believes that the man in the real is more impressive than all his reel characters.
"I personally think Ajay is the most versatile actor that we have today. He has been successful in all genres - whether comedy or drama," Kajol told reporters on Wednesday at the music launch of their upcoming action animation movie Toonpur ka Superrhero.
She can't be more right as the 41-year-old proved his versatility with five releases this year which were different from each other - he was seen in two comedies Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge and Golmaal 3, political thriller Raajneeti, crime saga Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and a film on honour killing titled Aakrosh.

When asked which character of Ajay impressed her the most, Kajol said, "I'm very impressed with Ajay Devgn in real life (more) than any of his on screen characters."
Both will be seen in Toonpur ka Superrhero, which is produced by Krishika Lulla and Kumar Mangat Pathak. Kireet Khurana has directed the movie, which will hit the screens on 24th December.
Talking about her experience of working again with Ajay after the 2008 release U, Me Aur Hum, Kajol said, "It's great fun working with people you know. The best part is that you're comfortable with each other."
And why did she decide to be a part of an animation film?
"I liked the idea a lot. Most importantly, the script and the screenplay were very good. All the cartoons were very interesting characters. The whole script was very tight. So I decided to do it," she said.
