No A-listers, No Big Names, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety Is A Blockbuster

Luv Ranjan’s little film with no stars  has  out-performed  some of  the biggest names  at the boxoffice. Made at an estimated budget of  Rs 35 crores the film has already grossed over Rs 50 crores in the  first week, with collections showing no signs of  slackening at the  boxoffice in  the second week.

Ranjan is happy but not surprised. “We  always knew we were making a film that would appeal to the  youth. Critics called the  film anti-women,misogynistic, etc. But that  didn’t bother me. I was looking beyond the criticism.”

 Ranjan’s film is now expected to be the  biggest non-star film of Bollywood of all times.

“For me my actors Kartik Aryan, Nushrat Bharucha, Sunny Singh are stars.And beyond them it’s the script that is the superstar,” saysRanjan who feels there  is no threat to his film in the coming week.

“The  next big film is the Ajay Devgan starrer Raid on 16 March. That will be competition for  my film. Lara Croft Tom Raider on  9 March? No. That’s being released  only in English.It  will affect  a very small percentage  of  the movie-going audience,” says LuvRanjan.
