Rajkumar Guptas Ghanchakkar underperformed at the box office. The film tried to be too many films in one film and somehow didnt come together as a solid narrative. Vidya Balan was underutilised as the OTT Punjabi housewife there wasnt much for her to do in the film other than keep muttering hain. But its the films male star Emraan Hashmi who will be most affected by the films lackluster show. Ghanchakkar is the third Emraan starrer after Ek Thi Daayan and Shanghai,which has disappointed the trade.
Its a strange situation that Emraan finds himself in. Just when Bollywood filmmakers have started taking him seriously,his stocks have started dipping.
A star however good he is,eventually ends up being an employee of his image. There are certain films that a star does just to keep his fan base happy. Salman Khans current filmography will illustrate this point. In Emraans case,his fans like and expect him to be the loveable bad boy who sings Aatif Aslam songs preferably in Bhatt camp films. Itll be interesting to see how Emraan navigates this phase in his career. For now,he seems to be in the Why fix when it aint broke route,having signed the remake of Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin to be produced by Bhatts but theres Karan Johars Unglee and Dharma-Balajis Badtameez Dil also in the offing. Emraan has proved
that hes a contender but will his fans let the actor in
him be happy?
