‘Golmaal 3’ rips ‘Action Replayy’ apart


The third avatar of the Ajay-Kareena starrer ‘Golmaal’ had indeed been a sensible entertainer on the festive weekend. The film, which had a memorable run in the initial weekend in oversees markets, has ripped apart its counterpart, Vipul Shah’s retro trend film, the Akshay-Aishwarya starrer ‘Action Replayy’.


It’s learnt that the film which opened in 2000 screens enjoyed 80-90% occupancy in theaters and collected Rs 70 crore globally in the first weekend, while with 30-40% occupancy ‘Action Replayy’ had a poor start at the box-office.

‘Golmaal 3’ made 33 crore in the first weekend
‘Golmaal 3’ has done exceptionally well in oversees markets like U.K., U.S.A., Australia and the Middle East.

The film garnered Rs 33 crore business in the first weekend, meanwhile, ‘Action Replayy’ did business of only Rs 16.75 crore.

Speaking about ‘Golmaal 3’, trade analyst Taran Adarsh stated, “Golmaal 3 raked in Rs 13 crore on Saturday and another Rs 11 crore on Sunday that added to Friday’s Rs 8 crore plus, which totals at a fantastic Rs 33 crore for the first weekend.”

However, talking about ‘Action Replayy’, he stated that it had a bad start in the opening day by collecting only Rs 2.75 crore.

Meanwhile, it’s learnt that it made a net collection of Rs 16.75 crore on the first weekend, Rs.8 crore on Saturday and Rs.6 crore on Sunday.

'Action Replayy' gets an invite
Taking a cue from the latest reports, it’s learnt that Vipul Shah’s latest vehicle ‘Action Replayy’ has got an invite to share a copy of its screenplay at the world-renowned Margaret Herrick library of the Academy.

The library which holds books, periodicals, scripts and posters has shown a keen desire to share the screenplay of ‘Action Replayy’ to their students of cinema.

Confirming on this, Vipul who had written the script stated, “Yes, they have shown a keen interest in preserving the screenplay of Action Replayy. They send out the invites for those films which they need for research purpose.

"Earlier, a copy of screenplay of Namastey London was shared with them when they had expressed their desire for that. I am glad that they feel Action Replayy is worthy enough for students of cinema to read and learn."
