PIKU, GABBAR IS BACK, TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS: Box Office hits with character names
By Shaheen Irani, Glamsham Editorial
The fad of movies being named after the characters seems to have become a hit.
If one goes to see the movie releases of May, it is evident that 'Gabbar', 'Piku' and 'Tanu- Manu' have taken the Box-Office by storm.
The trend started with Akshay Kumar's GABBAR IS BACK, a movie about fighting corruption that released at the beginning of the month. This was followed by Deepika Padukone's PIKU, a cute story of the relationship between father-daughter, which released on May 8, 2015.
Even the recent film TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS' (which is a sequel to the 2011 movie TANU WEDS MANU) success has only proven that character names could be the secret formula for the movie being a hit at the Box Office.
While we believe that having character names as the movie title has worked, you let us know what do you feel about it.
