Sooraj Barjatya’s Yeh Prem Mol Liya is all set for a theatrical release this month on November 27. The songs have already received a positive response, and amid all of this, the excitement for this next project has already started.
Sooraj is specifically known for making the name Prem famous among the audience. This time, Prem is being played by Ayushmann Khurrana instead of Salman Khan, who has been Sooraj’s favorite since Maine Pyaar Kiya. But for all those who are waiting to see his next, the wait might be a little long.
However, predictions have already started on what could be the verdict of Yeh Prem Mol Liya at the box office. Questions also remain on whether Ayushmann can recreate the same success that Sooraj did with Salman Khan and created records.
Sooraj’s filmography has been interesting as he has balanced different themes while keeping the family angle at the same time. For the unversed, Sooraj has collaborated with Salman four times.
Except for Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon and Uunchai, four of Sooraj’s films have emerged as blockbusters at the box office, and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was a hit, despite getting a mixed reception for its content.
Ayushmann and Sharvari Wagh are entering this genre for the first time. The promos have proved, for now, that Sooraj has adapted himself to the changing times, and the film is expected to have themes that will attract the Gen-Z crowd along with the audiences of other age groups at the same time.
Sooraj has once again used his biggest power to a great extent, which is music. He brought in Himesh Reshammiya, and the first song proved to be a big hit, followed by three more tracks that have already become a topic of discussion for their colorful visuals and composition.
Netizens also believe that after a long time, Bollywood is expected to get a soundtrack that will be remembered for decades. But they are still cautious about the content, since the makers have not released any teaser or trailer so far.
While the buzz for the movie is not as big as expected for now, trade experts believe that the situation will change once a teaser or trailer is released and advance booking opens. It is trending for now as early predictions say that it might take an opening of Rs. 6-7 crores. A few others have predicted that the film will work since the visuals are currently hinting at an experience similar to Hum Saath Saath Hain or Hum Aapke Hain Koun.
Audiences now have to adjust themselves to the new Prem being played by Ayushmann. Now only the content of the film will decide whether viewers will accept this new Prem or reject it.
