New Delhi, After three back-to-back duds “Dil Bole Hadippa!”, “Chance Pe Dance” and “Paathshala”, actor Shahid Kapoor has risen again with his latest outing “Badmaash Company” that has got a decent opening at the box office.

“The initial weekend collection has been anywhere around 60-70 percent all over India,” trade analyst Atul Mohan told IANS. The movie has made somewhere around Rs.30-35 crore gross in the first three days,” an industry source said.

Amit Awasthi, manager (programming and operations) of Spice Cinemas, said: “‘Badmaash Company’ has been above average and done good over the first weekend. It brought us around 72 percent occupancy for 20 shows and an initial weekend gross of Rs.14 lakh. Though contentwise people are neutral about it.”

“We are expecting it to stretch for another weekend as there are no as such any big releases this Friday.”

Produced and distributed by Yash Raj Films, “Badmaash Company” is actor Parmeet Sethi’s directorial debut. Starring Shahid Kapoor in the lead, it also has Anushka Sharma, comedian Vir Das and reality show star Meiang Chang. Set in the Bombay of 1990s, the movie is about four youngsters who come together to start a business and con people to make their way.

Yogesh Raizada, corporate head (cinemas) of Wave Cinemas, said: “‘Badmaash Company’ got an okay initial. The movie has been average with around 70-80 percent occupancy. It is not a family movie and is only for youth.”

Here it is some hot pictures of Anushka Sharma and Shahid Kapoor in Badmash Company both the starts giving some hot scene in the Movie.

There’s a longish sequence in an American eatery in the second-half of this deeply flawed and yet refreshingly cool urbane casual and yet highly cinematic work where Shahid Kapoor’s Karan, by now on the road to seemingly irredeemable moral degeneration is told by his partner, played by newcomer Vir Das, that he wants out.

The way that sequence progresses and the manner in which the two actors play out a conventional friends-falling-apart moment, just makes you forgive all the excesses of inflated self-worth that the script suffers from in the last 90 minutes of this endearing though exasperating experience.

“Badmaash Company” is a film that is too smart for its own good. The main characters, four friends bonded by the collective will to grow rich overnight, go through a series on caper experiences. Not all of it is either convincing or even interesting. After a point, we know exactly where this quartet is hurling to. And the slide out of moral degeneration is never touching enough to make us shed a tear for these misguided over-reachers.

The doom comes none too soon, and then the narrative proceeds without a proper graph. By the time Karan (Shahid Kapoor)’s spunky girl Bulbul (Anushka Sharma) leaves him the script begins to look like one of those subverted morality tales from the house of the Bhatts where the heroes talk with clenched fists and heroines weep in their pillows as their companions come home in a drunken stupor.

Mumbai, After playing a simple girl-next-door, Anushka Sharma has gone in for an image makeover in “Badmaash Company” where she not only wears stylish clothes but also has a kissing scene with Shahid Kapoor. The model-turned-actress says the script demanded it and it wasn’t meant just to attract attention.

“I don’t see it as a kissing scene. It’s a part of the screenplay. I think cinema is changing and we are not doing (kissing) for the heck of it. We do not need to do this (kiss on screen) to attract attention,” Anushka told IANS in an interview.

“When you see the film, the kind of chemistry Bulbul (her character in the film) and Karan (Shahid) share, the kind of love that’s there between them, you will be able to understand that the scene was justified,” said Anushka, who made her debut as a small town girl in “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

The 22-year-old claims the audiences will be able to relate to the characters in the film as all of them represent the middle-class dreams.

“This film is about four friends, their relationships and the trials they go through to achieve their goals. All the characters are extremely relatable because they come from middle-class families with big dreams and aspirations. We have all been like that. Their dreams are really big. They have not got any patience…They want to do it right away,” she said.

Set in Mumbai of the 1990s, “Badmaash Company” is about four youngsters who start a business and find a way to beat the system.

Anushka’s gang in the film comprises Shahid, Vir Das and Miang Chang. And she says they gelled well.

“When we travelled outdoors, we got to spend time with each other…We hung out, ate out, went to the pub. Good that we got along very well because it was a pre-requisite of the film,” said Anushka.

“Badmaash Company” is actor-turned-director Parmeet Sethi’s first outing as director. Anushka says Parmeet knew the characters inside out, but was still open to others’ ideas.

Anushka enjoys not being a trained actor because it allows her to visualise scenes naturally.

“I quite enjoy the fact that I’m not a trained actor…If you are experienced, you have a certain method of acting, but I haven’t discovered that method yet. There is a positive side of not being a trained actor. When I get a scene, I see how naturally it should be done. People call it natural acting and that is also a method,” she said.

Asked if she wants to explore any particular genre, she said: “No, I am not looking forward to any particular genre. I’m open to doing films of every genre and with different directors. There are so many things that I would love to do – a period love story or an action film.”

But Anushka finds acting a difficult profession and says her hectic schedule leaves her with little time for her friends.
