Aamir Khan's JAANE TU YA JAANE NA http://www.bollyspice.com/view.php/904-2008-movie-predictions-part-1-of-3.html While not much is currently known about Abbas Tyrewala's directoral debut, except for a very impressive crew (Aamir Khan producing, music direction by AR Rahman and a whole slew of guest appearances – plus Tyrewala's skill at writing screenplays and dialogues) we're sure this one is going to be one to wait for.
*Quality: B+* Taking Aamir Khan's track record with production into consideration– any project he throws his support behind is likely to be a very high quality product at hand. Tyrewala's skill at writing and the music direction by Rahman should bring forth a strong film that will be enjoyed by intelligent audiences. *Box Office: Avg to Hit* The film may be hurt by no large headliner star. However, with what is sure to be strong word of mouth, the film will likely recover costs. Ashutosh Gowariker's JODHAA-AKBAR With the soundtrack of Ashutosh Gowariker's magnum opus *Jodhaa-Akbar* hit the airwaves and the film to be releasing on Valentines Day, this highly awaited period film starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one that has a lot going for it. However, with the delays the film and its music have faced, will it affect its overall outlook? *Quality: A-* Rahman returns and gives a phenomenal soundtrack, and with Ashutosh Gowariker's track record in they two very high quality films *Lagaan* and * Swades*, there should be little doubt that Gowariker will deliver a quality film. *Box Office: Flop* Audience feedback on the trailers has not been positive to say the least. While the oft-delayed soundtrack has finally released, the film is still unsure of the final release date, or if Gowariker's back will act up again – thus delaying the film even further. Also, the songs do not have a mass appeal. The main factor towards high box office performance will be the presence of Hrithik and Ash. However, if Shahrukh Khan could not bring Swades as a box office hit, it remains to be seen if the two stars can do the same for this film. -- regards, Vithur A.R.RAHMAN - MY BREATH & LIFE FORCE
