Deepa Mehta's WATER Becomes Top-Grossing Hindi Film of 2006

Deepa Mehta's controversial motion picture Water has become the highest-grossing Hindi-language film in North America for 2006. Starring Lisa Ray and John Abraham, the period drama about Hindu widow houses in 1930s India has grossed $2.3 million in the United States since its release on April 28 surpassing the $2.2 million gross of Aamir Khan's hit Rang De Basanti which opened on January 27. Khan also stars in the third-biggest Hindi hit of the year, Fanaa, which debuted on May 26 and has grossed $1.9 million to date.

Even more impressive, Water's figure includes only ticket sales from the United States while the grosses for the Aamir Khan films include both the U.S. and Canada as they released in both countries simultaneously. The third film in Mehta's elemental trilogy opened in her native Canada in November 2005 and was a critical and commercial hit there as well.

In the U.S., Water has played in limited release reaching 91 theaters at its widest point of distribution and has remained in the Top 30 for the past seven consecutive weeks fueled by strong word-of-mouth. The award-winning film has performed best in the New York metro area where it has grossed over $554,000, or one-quarter of the entire national gross. Fox Searchlight, the film's American distributor, is still opening Water in new cities around the country and expects the picture to keep playing for many more weeks to come.

Khel Shuru Khel Shuru

They say the weather has to be good for the movie to be good. The weather on Sunday May 7th was a pleasant one. Of course I didn't expect the movie to be the same because honestly, how many NRI films have you seen and came out of the theater saying this was some money well spent.

Here is a shocker. My risk taking abilities finally bore fruit as I watched Khel Shuru among a packed audience, who along with me, were also enjoying almost every second of the movie. When I came out, Differential Films and the filmmakers had earned my respect. So much so that I wondered what happened to WayOfLife, their first film which just released and tanked.

Desi Movies in American Cinema : As I am writing this, it so happens that a pair of Indians are riding high on the Hollywood charts. Director Tarsem Singh has the number one grossing film of the week in "The Cell," a psychological thriller in the same vein as "Silence of the Lambs" and "Seven." Look to the top of the video rental list and you'll see M. Night Shymalan with his megahit "The Sixth Sense" on top. Not bad, right?

Perhaps it's a credit to the skills of these two enormously talented, young directors that their heritage is not obvious in their movies. Sure there were a couple of desis in minor roles in "The Sixth Sense," in addition to Night himself in a cameo, but on the whole, these two movies ARE Hollywood movies for all intents and purposes. These two directors deserve all the early success they've achieved, even as their styles and backgrounds differ. Shymalan is a natural storyteller; a fact reflected in his new contract which pays him equally for the script and directing. Moreover, Shymalan is an American, having grown up in the United States. An admirer of Spielberg, Shymalan had his sights set on Hollywood since childhood desiclub.com
