Whether good or bad, Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (ADHM) is definitely getting a lot of views and reviews on its opening day, squashing all the calls to boycott the film that a section of people had been spreading.
The movie’s cast has proven to be the biggest talking point of the movie before as well as after its release. While there was hue and cry about Pakistani actor Fawad Khan being in the movie before its release, the big surprise of cameo by Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt took the Internet by storm after its release.
Reports suggest that the increasing demand for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil tickets has compelled the single screens owners to start advance bookings of the controversial film.
Even as Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) after much furore gave a green signal for the movie’s release, Cinema Owners Exhibitors Association of India (COEAI) stood by their decision to not play the movie on single screens.
According to MidDay, single screen owners are now not ready to bear losses since the MNS too has already given a go ahead to Johar’s film.
There’s a surprise for Shah Rukh Khan fans. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil has a cameo by the actor and people are loving it.
Some have even gone ahead and called it the ‘saving grace’of the movie. In the time of the Internet when it’s difficult to keep things from leaking, SRK’s role in the film did not come out in the open before the film’s release.
The chatter around Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’s cast doesn’t seem to end. Other than SRK, the movie has a cameo by Alia Bhatt as well.
People on Twitter have been calling Ae Dil Hai Mushkil a mixture of Karan Johar’s previous movies. Some are calling it Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (KANK) 2.0, while some are saying its a failed combination of KANK and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Sensing the tension that has surrounded Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai and Fawad Khan, heavy security has been deployed outside multiplexes in Delhi as the movie hit screens on Friday.
To avoid any disturbance by people who have been protesting against the movie as it stars a Pakistani actor, Fawad Khan, the security has been ramped up.
After watching the movie, celebrities from the industry did nothing but pour love for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
They tweeted about how Karan Johar has “outdone himself” with this story of love and heartbreak.
What effect the raging controversy around Ae Dil Hai Mushkil before its release will have on its opening is finally going to be seen.
The movie released on Friday along with Ajay Devgn’s Shivaay.
There have been many positive reviews lauding the portrayal of love and loss in ADHM. People on Twitter are appreciating Karan Johar’s movie, calling it:
