Analysis:

Star Value: Despite not being a crowd puller, Siddharth is the only known face from the movie due to his Rang De Basanti act. Ali Zafar and Divyendu Sharma are also not strangers when it comes to the masses but there is no such star value in the movie.

Hype: Although the promos of Chashme Baddoor made heads turn, they didn’t impress much. However, the hype has slowly started building due to the youthful subject and some good promotional strategy.

Music: ‘Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai’ has become an instant rage and has immensely helped the film gain publicity. The title song too is becoming known.

Prediction:

Chashme Baddoor (remake of the classic Chashme Buddoor) will get an average to decent opening. Due to the urban, modern subject, it has a greater chance of earning in the multiplexes of the metros. But that doesn’t mean it has no chance in smaller centers. However, it is very vital for the film to impress at the onset else the above mentioned chances will hold no value. The film will also be helped by the fact that there are no major releases next week.
