Average business for 'Action Jackson' at Box Office

Actor-filmmaker Prabhudheva’s latest directorial “Action Jackson” will touch Rs.20 crore soon -- but trade experts figure the numbers are not overwhelming for the "routine and hackneyed" movie.

Starring Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam and Manasvi Mamgai, the action film hit approximately 3,000 screens Friday.

“It earned Rs.19 crore in two days. It was made on a budget of about Rs.75 crore and considering that, the film should’ve done better. Those who like Prabhudheva kind of films have mostly gone for it, but not everyone,” Rajesh Thadani of Multimedia Combines told reporters.

Prabhudheva is known for making massy films like “R... Rajkumar” and “Rowdy Rathore”.

Trade expert Komal Nahta tweeted: “#ActionJackson is too routine and hackneyed. Meant for masses, not for classes.”

"Sulemani Keeda", an indie comedy, also hit the screens along with the star-packed “Action Jackson”, but it also failed to earn big at the box office.

“#SulemaniKeeda is cute. Meant for people looking for different cinema. Commercial prospects are weak,” Nahta tweeted.

Thadani also has “doubts” about the film’s performance at the box office.

“The collections were negligible. It earned around Rs.25 lakh. It is for select audience,” he added.

Ajay Devgn also wields a sword and shows some fencing moves.

Manasvi Mamgai wears an unbuttoned shirt and flaunts her busty self. And there’s too much gun shooting in the song. Watch it below:



‘My way or the skyway,’ is Devgn’s cool oneliner in Action Jackson.



In the song ‘Gangster Baby’ composed by Himesh Reshammiya, anyone who doesn’t toe Devgn’s line is sent skyward (read bumped off).

                                                                 Watch Video:

‘Gangster Baby’ is sung with much gusto by Neeraj Shridhar and Neeti Mohan. It’s a dance number with electric guitars giving it an edgy feel. 

Action Jackson is directed by Prabhu Dheva. The film has Ajay Devgn pairing with Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam and Manasvi Mamgai. The actor dons three different looks in the movie. 

Catch more images from the song ahead. 

Ajay Devgn Fiercer Than Singham in Action Jackson (Watch Trailer:)

Actor Ajay Devgn goes a step ahead of Singham with his high-octane action sequences and inclusion of a tad bit of Chinese martial arts in the trailer of his upcoming film Action Jackson. 

The actor looks rugged, chiseled and fiery as he fights goons and delivers power-packed dialogues like "Main ek hi baar bolta hun, kyunki dusri baar sunne ke liye tu nahi hoga. It's my way or the sky way", "pasand aya toh dil mein, varna dimaag mein bhi nahi" and "Na commitment, na appointment, only punishment."

Do some of those sound familiar to Salman Khan's famous dialogues?

Ajay also presents a never-seen-before on-screen persona of himself, grooving in Prabhu Deva style as he tries to woo actress Sonakshi Sinha in the movie.

Well, the trailer looks all the more interesting as Ajay is seen with three leading ladies in the movie - Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam and Manasvi Mamgai.

While Sonakshi looks chic in the movie, Yami looks pretty in flowy saris and Manasvi raises the glamour quotient with her stunning looks and action sequences.

The trailer of Action Jackson is a complete entertainer. Directed by Prabhu Deva, the movie is set to release on December 5.

Why Aishwarya Rai rejected Varun Dhawan's 'Badlapur'?

When world's most beautiful woman, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan decides to make a comeback into movies, the reaction is nothing short of a news.

Now, as we all are aware that `Jazbaa` will mark the comback of sorts for Ash on the silver screen, what we did not probably knew was the fact that `Badlapur` was on her mind way before `Jazbaa`.

According to reports, earlier Ash was in talks with Sriram Raghavan's film to make her comeback in Hindi movies. But she rejected the Varun Dhawan starrer `Badlapur` owing to the ensemble cast that the movie has- Huma Qureshi, Nawazuddin Siddiquia and Yami Gautam.

It seems that too many stars in one project is what the former Miss World didn't want in her comeback film. Another major reason for her to reject the movie, was the need for her to play a grey shade. Aishwarya was supposed to essay a negative character in the film.

Therefore, the lady decided to give it a miss and now Sanjay Gupta's `Jazbaa` is the one where she will be seen making a grand re-entry on the silver screens.
