Vidya Balan is on a high after the success of her movies, ‘Ishqiya and Paa’. But what’s making her truly happy is that she finally seems to have pleased the fashion fraternity.
New Delhi, Vishal Bhardwaj has done it again. After the success of “Kaminey”, his rustic “Ishqiya” has beaten the Amitabh Bachchan starrer “Rann” at the box office, thanks to its appealing content.
Both movies released Friday and had star-studded red-carpet premieres in the capital Thursday, but “Ishqiya” took the cake with almost 80 percent collections in the opening weekend. “Rann” got only around 30 percent collections.
“‘Ishqiya’ has got a strong opening in both Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in both multiplexes and single-screens. It has got around 80 percent business over the initial weekend,” Yogesh Raizada, corporate head (cinemas) of Wave Cinemas, told IANS.

Mumbai, “Ishqiya” with all its colourful expletives and sexually charged visuals was passed without any cuts with an ‘A’ certificate.
Says the film’s director Abhishek Choubey: “Frankly, I expected I’d be asked for some kind of an explanation for the language and content and why they were necessary. I had gone prepared with dossiers on every graphic word and shot. To my surprise I wasn’t asked for any explanation. I was given an ‘Adults’ certificate with no cuts at all. I guess it’s a sign of how far censorship has come in our country.”
The censor board apparently balked at some of the expletives. But finally saw reason. The film was passed by the board Wednesday.
Says the film’s director: “I never claimed the film was for children. The content is adult. So I’ve no problem with the ‘A’ certificate. I feel the profile of the audience is changing swiftly.”
Abhishek also hastens to add that the language is not as strong as people seem to think. “It’s not about creating shock value. It’s the way these people in the small North Indian towns live their life.”
The film, produced by Raman Maroo and Vishal Bharadwaj, stars Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan and Naseeruddin Shah in the lead roles.
Mumbai, Vidya Balan, who never touches alcohol, has shot a special risque number entitled “Ibn batuta” in “Ishqiya” with her co-stars Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi.
“We shot the song last month after the entire shooting was completed. I don’t drink and I had to act sozzled along with Naseer saab and Arshad,” Viday told IANS.
The song will be used in the opening and credit titles of “Ishqiya”.
New Delhi, After playing an ideal mother in “Paa”, Vidya Balan says she is ready to surprise audiences with a completely different avatar in forthcoming movie “Ishqiya”. She will be seen as a conniving, scheming woman in Vishal Bharadwaj’s dark drama.
“For the first time I’ll be playing a woman who is conniving, scheming and in whom there is a sexual aggression,” Vidya told IANS in an interview.
“She is an aggressive person. She is someone who is unapologetic about her own choices. Bold is the word I’ll use for the lack of a better word. In the Indian context, she would be Rambha, Durga or Kali. She is someone who is dressed from top to toe but oozes sensuality,” the actress said.
