On 30th September, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting announced to honour actor Mithun Chakraborty with the highest award in the field of cinema- Dadasaheb Phalke Award. The actor, earlier this year had also received the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian honour. The announcement of Phalke Award has created a buzz around the actor, he is currently one of the most searched keywords in Google.
On October 8th, Mithun will make his presence in the silver screen from a Bengali film Shastri- in which he is playing the lead role. The film is about the superstitions followed blindly in India and the capital market around them and how a few men are fooling innocent people by manipulating their faith. The trailer for the movie shows a good potential for it.
As the movie will be released on October 8th, without a mainstream national film clashing, it is possible that the film will be able to gain quite a viewership. Devara’s mettle seems to be slowing down, and possibly it won’t be a threat for the new releases from next week. Though Vettaiyan will release two days ahead, the movie still will have the chance of making a good profit.
Added to the timing will be the subject matter. The film deals with the subject of faith and religion, which is a burning topic in the country right now and is sure to grab attention. The film can gather a good amount of audiences based on that.
What will account the most for its success, will be the casting of Mithun in the film. Mithun, who recently received the Phalke Award, will be a trending topic among film enthusiasts for quite a few days. With more than 20k searches in the last 10 hours for his name, his upcoming film will surely be noticed by people. Also, the people of Bengal can be said to storm the shows for the film to commemorate their local star receiving the highest honour for a man in the field of cinema.
The Phalke Award was announced right in time for the film, along with Mithun, the film (as he is the lead actor in it) will also get sufficient attention this time. This will lure in people to watch the film- both out of admiration for the actor and also for the curiosity to evidence his excellence. Whatever be the reason, the film will benefit from it.
