Sajid Khan's ‘Himmatwala' a disaster
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 05 - 04 - 2013

MUMBAI — Director Sajid Khan's new film ‘Himmatwala' starring Ajay Devgan and Tammanah Bhattia is a sheer disaster. The film, which was touted to be one of the biggest hit, was panned by trade and critics alike.
According to ndtv.com, Trade expert Amod Mehra said: ‘“Himmatwala' is a disaster. The chances of any improvements are very remote and it seems that the film will sink further. It has no entertainment quotient and it proves that you cannot make a film on your whims and fancies. It can be best termed as overconfidence on the part of the director (Sajid) and one cannot take the audience for granted. Overall, a very bad week for the box office, as no other film worked either.”
Khan, who was very confident about the film, expected to churn RS200 million from it.
Atul Mohan, trade analyst said: “It is only the public who decides the fate of the film and Sajid might have learnt the lesson after everyone panned his film. There have been remakes of many films recently but this can be termed as the worst remake of all times. It is not good to be overconfident.” — SG
