Great Grand Masti box office collections rise to Rs 10 crore; no joy for Vivek, Riteish, Aftab and Urvashi

1/8

Great Grand Masti box office collections: While all humanity may be all about sex, yet sex does not sell well. This is what Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani, Riteish Deshmukh and Urvashi Rautela have found to their cost. Great Grand Masti collections have just about managed to cross the Rs 10 cr mark and it is virtually calling it a full stop. Some would argue that a sex comedy, a more intellectualised version of 'porn' should, ideally be a big ticket sell-out, but that argument falls flat in the face of heaving female flesh overload. And if quality dialogue is not available either, or it is too (s)explicit, it is a definite crash course in failure. (Photo: Balaji Motion Picture)

As can be expected, Great Grand Masti box office collections have been ploughing the depths since release and now they are not even a blip at the box office. They are not expected to revive either. While the filmmakers and many others would be blaming the online leak of Grand Masti for the box office fallout, yet while there is some truth in that, it is not the entire story. Blame should get apportioned appropriately. Dissecting a disaster is never a fun thing to do, but with audiences left disappointed and the industry running in losses, surely there is a need to look at the obvious clunkers.

The first problem is, how can three young guys, with young wives to boot, be sex starved? Are they not getting 'it'. Why in the world is that? Surely, even by Bollywood standards this is too far-fethced for anyone to believe. The phrase, 'No, sex please, we are Indians', no longer applies. (Photo: Balaji Motion Picture)

The second: A horny spirit?! Where in the world did this idea come from? Urvashi Rautela does not manage to carry it off. It is an effort, an uncomfortable one at that, and the actress is found wanting and the audience is left cringing. Revealing clothes alone do not add up to a successful formula. Get real, quick, guys. (Photo: Balaji Motion Picture)

The third: This is supposed to be a sex comedy. Yet, the filmmakers think they can get by by cracking flat sexualised jokes that should ideally have women's rights panel chasing after the producers for harming their cause. (Photo: Balaji Motion Picture)

The fourth: Sometimes a film gets tagged as a box office collections success only on the basis of its songs, even if the content is trashy. But Great Grand Masti songs are perfectly forgettable. (Photo: Balaji Motion Picture)

The fifth: OK. So, they could not get the content of the movie right, nor the dialogue. But what about the timing. But no, that too was off. Who in the world would want to release a movie with a Salman Khan film already running in theatres?! With Sultan box office collections setting a cracking pace and breaking records to boot and now even eyeing an entry into the Rs 300 cr club, the filmmakers took the decision to compete with Bhai! Great Grand Masti guys must be either very brave or very foolish, indeed! Take your pick. (Photo: Balaji Motion Picture)

8/8

So, the filmmakers failed to tick any of the boxes to expect to secure a magical mix that would have sent them laughing all the way to the bank. All they did was crack risqué jokes at best and indecent ones at best. The result is as predictable as it is forgettable despite having a strong franchise to bank on in the form of Masti and Grand Masti. Great Great Grand Masti anyone? (Photo: Balaji Motion Picture)
