Housefull 4, Saand ki Aankh, Made in China movie review and release LIVE UPDATES: The three Bollywood releases on Diwali weekend.
Housefull 4, Saand ki Aankh, Made in China movie review and release LIVE UPDATES: Housefull 4 starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Kriti Sanon, Pooja Hegde, Kriti Kharbanda, Chunky Panday, Rana Daggubati and others releases today. Directed by Farhad Samji, this is the fourth film in the Housefull franchise. Housefull 4 is touted to be the biggest release this Diwali weekend. The star cast has been promoting their film extensively across India. They even went on a train ride from Mumbai to Delhi as a part of IRCTC’s Promotion on Wheels.
Saand ki Aankh starring Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu also hits the screens today. The film is based on the real life stories of Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, the oldest known female sharpshooters in India. The film’s trailer received some backlash due to the casting as many pointed out that senior female actors should have been cast in the role. Veteran actor Seema Pahwa however showed her full support to Taapsee and Bhumi. Produced by Anurag Kashyap and Reliance Entertainment, the film has been directed by Tushar Hiranandani.
Made In China starring Rajkumar Rao and Mouni Roy also hits the screens today. The film also stars Paresh Rawal, Boman Irani, Sumeet Vyas and Amyra Dastur. Made In China has been directed by Mikhil Musale. The film’s trailer seemed like a slice of life comedy.
Apart from these three films, the other two big releases this week are Vijay’s Bigil and Karthi’s Kaithi.
Trade analyst Girish Johar shared on Twitter, "Pre Diwali... Below the par start #EarlyTrends #EarlyShows #Housefull4 ~ 25% aprox #SaandKiAankh ~ 15% + #MadeInChina ~ 15% around ... whereas in South #Bigil has taken an extraordinary start of 70%"
The Akshay Kumar starrer offers nothing that makes sense.

Komal Nahta shared on Twitter, "Housefull 4 takes a decent start, not extraordinary (as it is a dull pre-Diwali day today at the box-office) but reports are ordinary. Made In China opening is dull; reports also poor. Saand Ki Aankh initial also terrible, but reports fair."
Ileana D'Cruz shared on Twitter, "Watched #MadeinChina last night and love LOVED it!!! @bomanirani you were so so amazing!! @RajkummarRao it amazes me how you can play a character with such sincerity I forget you’re you and just see Raghu...@Roymouni you looked gorgeous and were absolutely lovely in the film ♥?"
Made In China begins on a zany note. A top-ranking Chinese official visiting Ahmedabad comes to a sorry pass after ingesting what looks suspiciously like an aphrodisiac. A tale of vim-and-vigour-laced-with-viagra in dry Gujjuland? Finally, a genuinely adult sexcapade? The initial bits keep up the light tone and there are some laughs to be had, but all too soon, as it happens so often in Bollywood, everything goes limp.

Sujoy Ghosh shared on Twitter, "all bestests @taapsee and @tushar1307 for #SaandKiAankh .... as the song goes... the fortune lies in the eye of the bull..."
Taapsee Pannu shared on Twitter, "What an amazing experience to have our little gem as the Closing Film at MAMI. So much of love and warm hugs followed. Now it’s all yours. Hoping you embrace it the way our lovely critics have ??? #SaandKiAankh"
Rajkummar Rao shared with indianexpress.com, "It’s highly entertaining and it’s very relatable. These characters are very real, they’re talking about real problems. And we have some really remarkable actors – Paresh sir, Boman sir, Gajraj sir, Sumeet Vyas, who are so wonderful in the film. And the kind of world that Mikhil has created, you will cheer for these characters. I saw the film last night, that’s why I’m even happier. They’ll make you laugh but you will be emotionally invested in their journey."

Director Ken Ghosh shared on Twitter, "When you have friends and people you admire with films releasing on the same day, what do you do? Wish them all the best together! So to @Riteishd and the #Housefull4 gang. @tushar1307 and the #SaandKiAankh gang. @RajkummarRao @Roymouni and the #MadeInChina gang! ALL THE BEST"
Milap Zaveri shared on Twitter, "Today is the day one is supposed to buy Gold for good luck! instead buy a ticket for #SaandKiAankh coz Baby Gold Gold! ?? Best of luck"
In the film, the elderly women are played by two twenty-somethings buried under layers of prosthetics, and that, right there, is the problem. Both Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar give the roles their all in the just-right costuming — shapeless collared shirts and skirts, veiled faces, heavy accents. So is their spirited, late-to-it but ultimately unwavering defiance of patriarchy, which is, of course, applause worthy, and the central force of the film.

Taapsee Pannu shared with indianexpress.com, "Physical hardships were to sustain the makeup for 12 hours. One drop of sweat and you have to redo the entire thing, which again takes 2-3 hours. Once I remember, it was a day in April which is pretty hot in UP, we ended up doing the makeup thrice. So that is the physical challenge to get into that get-up and walk in those fields. Mental hardships were when we said yes to the film, everyone around us said this is the stupidest decision because why would you do a two girl film without any hero, who wants to play an old woman? This has no precedents, and you always feel the fear of the unknown, what might happen to your career, but I’m like someone needs to take that step."

Ayushmann Khurrana shared on Twitter, "#SaandKiAankh looks so promising. From the trailer to the songs. And the camaraderie between @bhumipednekar and @taapsee is top notch, both on and off screen. So proud of you both. My family and friends cant stop raving. Will watch it soon. Kudos @tushar1307 ?? @ItsViineetKumar"
"Give #MadeInChina a chance. It is a journey of enterprise and a very entertaining journey. Dont expect to laugh out loud but i promise you will leave the cinema halls with a wide smile. Yes, this film will make you smile and also look at sex as an essential part of life. Good Bye," shared Hansal Mehta on Twitter.
Arshad Warsi shared on Twitter, "saw #Housefull4 last night, laughed till I cried. The film & @akshaykumar are INSANELY FUNNY. @kritisanon @kriti_official Pooja Hegde @Riteishd @thedeol @ChunkyThePanday Johnny Lever Ranjit, thank you so much for cracking me up... this one is a must must watch."
Rajkummar Rao plays Raghu Mehta, an entrepreneur full of the most bizarre ideas, and the most enthusiastic bounce-backs when they, inevitably, tank. And then one fine day, a Chinese welsher dangles a carrot in the shape of a powder that will make men go jiggity-jog, and Raghu falls for it.
