ABOUT Vijay MOVIE

Yash Chopra's 1988 action drama, Vijay, despite its star-studded cast, proved a box-office disappointment. The film, a loose adaptation of Chopra's earlier success Trishul, featured Rajesh Khanna, Hema Malini, Rishi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Sonam, and Anupam Kher in key roles. The narrative, though inspired by a previous work, failed to resonate with audiences. The film's release on August 12, 1988, timed to capitalize on India's Independence Day weekend, did not translate into box office success. While the ensemble cast boasted considerable talent and experience, the film's plot, likely a reworking of familiar themes, evidently lacked the necessary impact. Despite the commercial failure, Anupam Kher's performance earned him the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award, a testament to his individual contribution amidst the larger production's shortcomings. Vijay serves as a case study in the unpredictable nature of the film industry, where even a prestigious director and high-profile cast cannot guarantee success. The film's failure highlights the crucial interplay between a compelling script and audience expectations in determining commercial viability.

Five reasons to watch Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Mersal

October 18, 2017 6:16 am

After facing several issues that posed a challenge to its theatrical release, Ilayathalapathy Vijay's much-awaited film Mersal will open in theaters on Wednesday, coinciding with the Deepavali celebrations. The release of the film was hinging on the decision of The Animal Welfare Board of India, which was upset with the makers for allegedly not following the due procedure to use animals in the shoot. According to reports, the AWBI refused to issue the no-objection certificate to Mersal, which had stalled the certification of the film at the censor board. On Monday, following an emergency meeting, the AWBI decided to give the NOC to the film. It would have been a major upset for the fans if the filmmakers were forced to postponed Mersal release date due to this issue. Now that the release is confirmed, here are five reasons as to why you shouldn't give this film a miss.
