On October 2, 2008, on the Eid day, two high profile movies will fight for the top position at the theatres. One is the Abhishek Bachchan starrer superhero flick ‘Drona’ and the other one is an action thriller Kidnap Hindi movie starring Imran Khan and Minissha Lamba.

‘Drona’ is Goldie Behl’s second movie as a director. Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra played the lead roles. The movie is very much important for all three of them. As a director, Goldie has not seen much success. This is Abhishek Bachchan’s second movie in 2008. His first movie, Sarkar Raj did not do expected business like its prequel Sarkar. The movie is also important for Priyanka Chopra because her first movie of 2008, Love Story 2050 did poorly at the box office. So yes, all three of them need this movie to do well and Goldie Behl made no compromise in making ‘Drona’ a ‘paisa vasool’ entertainer. ‘Drona’ is also the first production of Eros Entertainment. The company will release more than 1000 prints of the movie around the world. For overseas, there will be 400 prints.

Kidnap Hindi movie on the other hand, is an action thriller. Starring Imran Khan, Minissha Lamba and Sanjay Dutt. Imran Khan’s debut movie, Jaane Tu….Ya Jaane Na (JTYJN) was the surprise hit of 2008 and he is immensely popular among young girls. In Kidnap Hindi movie, Imran Khan will be seen in a role totally opposite from his chocolate boy character in JTYJN. Imran Khan played the role of a kidnapper. To get under the skin of the character, Imran Khan donned a different hairstyle and build muscles and gained weight a little bit.

Minissha Lamba will be seen in an ultra modern look wearing small dresses and donning a bikini for the first time in her career. Business of Cinema reports:

In India alone, the film is being distributed with 411 physical prints and 350 digital prints. The movie will play in 975 screens across India. On the other hand, in the overseas Kidnap is releasing with 175 prints in over 180 screens.

After a long time, the audience will see Sanjay Dutt, one of the most charismatic actors in Bollywood. Director Sanjay Gadhvi is one of the top directors. He directed movies like Dhoom and Dhoom2 which starred Abhishek Bachchan.
