Vidya Balan: Hope word of mouth pulls off 'Bobby Jasoos'

Her 'Kahaani' rode higher on word-of-mouth publicity and now Vidya Balan hopes for the same to work for her recently released detective drama 'Bobby Jasoos', which sees the actress in the title.

"Every film is unique and each film has its own destiny. We all have worked hard and now it's up to the audience. Women centric films have a slow start, but what is encouraging is that 'Bobby Jasoos' had a great start," said the 36-year-old.

Co-produced by Dia Mirza, the film made an opening day's collection Rs.1.78 crore at the domestic box office.

"We are hoping word of mouth really pulls it off. Besides, there is a huge jump in the numbers. Hopefully, it will be growing. I am happy about the film we have made," she added.

Directed by Samar Sheikh, 'Bobby Jasoos' also features Ali Fazal. The actress tags the film as an "entertaining complete family drama".

"I am enjoying every moment of it because the film is really close to my heart. When people come out of the theatre and praise the film, it feels good. It's very reassuring to hear all the praises. I am thrilled and grateful," she said.

'Bobby Jasoos' tweet review: It's a fun film, keeps one engaged mostly

Over the years, Vidya Balan has created a niche for herself in Bollywood. A genre which has Vidya playing the main protagonist, with a strong author-backed role where she is the hero of the film.

Following the footsteps of 'Dirty Picture' and 'Kahaani', Vidya comes back on the big screen with a similar woman oriented film 'Bobby Jasoos'. Directed by Samar Shaikh and produced by Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha, the film has Vidya playing a detective in Hyderabad. In a bid to become the best detective of Hyderabad, Bobby takes up some very unique cases and encounters some very interesting people.

The film has already generated a lot of curiosity due Vidya's interesting get ups during promotional events. Music by Shantanu Moitra has also gained popularity.

A still from 'Bobby Jasoos'.

The film has Ali Fazal, Supriya Pathak, Tanvi Azmi and Kiran Kumar forming the supporting cast.

Post marriage, two of Vidya's film have released- 'Ghanchakkar' and 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects'- and both these films failed to weave magic at Box Office. Will Vidya be able to recreate her old magic once again? Considering she is back once again with a meaty role in a women centric film. Shomini Sen of IBNLive.com is inside the theater to find out.
