By Koimoi.com Team -October 24, 2017



Eid without Salman Khan is like Eid without Biryani. Bhai has been ruling Eid every year now and he has already booked 2019 for his upcoming film Bharat. It is said to be Indian adaptation of a Korean film Ode To My Father.

The movie is said to be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. It hopefully will be a hat-trick for Salman Khan & Ali after Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai. Salman will start shooting for the film from April 2018.

Recently the preparations for the shoot of the last song for Tiger Zinda Hai begun in Greece.

Director Ali Abbas Zafar tweeted: “Nippy early morning in Greece… Preparation for last song begins ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.”

Zafar shared a video of the serene environment, but did not reveal the exact location of where the song is being shot for the Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer.

Greece, with its picturesque locations, has been a loved destination for shooting Bollywood films. Whether it’s the pristine white constructions in Santorini, in Athens or at the Mykonos windmills — multiple songs have been shot there.

Also, few days back, Salman Khan’s piercing eyes caught the eye from the first look of Tiger Zinda Hai.

As days are passing by, the makers of Bharat are raising our curiosity by announcing exciting things about the film. Recently, filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar shared the first still of Bharat starring Salman Khan and he also announced Priyanka Chopra as the leading actress in the film.

Now today, after Priyanka Chopra and Sunil Grover’s grand entry, Disha Patani, who is enjoying the huge success of her film Baaghi 2, has been roped in as the second actress in this Salman Khan starrer.

According to Mumbai Mirror, Disha will be seen playing the role of a trapeze artist in a 1960s circus, a strong and important character to the story. Talking about the same, Ali said, “The pairing of Salman and Disha in a circus set-up in the ’60s is unusual and exciting. She is a promising star and for this character, we needed a girl who looked vulnerable and beautiful yet had the physicality of an athlete. Disha fit the bill perfectly.”

Disha’s character will require to learn the skills of the circus trade as trapeze artists are known for their agility. Expressing her happiness, Disha said, “I’m excited to be a part of Bharat, it’s like a dream come true to get an opportunity to work with Salman sir and I can’t wait for the journey to begin. I am a big fan of Ali Abbas sir’s work.”

Bharat is an official adaptation of the 2014 South Korean drama, Ode To My Father, which depicted modern Korean history from the 1950s to present-day through the life of an ordinary man and events such as the Hungnam Evacuation during the 1950 Korean War, the government’s decision to dispatch nurses and miners to West Germany in the ’60s and the Vietnam War.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Atul Agnihiotri and Bhushan Kumar, Bharat is scheduled to release on Eid 2019.

EXCLUSIVE! Jackie Shroff to play Salman Khan’s FATHER; Priyanka Chopra to play Salman’s wife in BHARAT!

By Upala KBR Jul 23, 2018 - 9:17 am IST



After eight years later, Jackie Shroff and Salman Khan will come together in Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat. The last time both were seen together was in Veer: An Epic Love Story Of A Warrior (2010). However, unlike their last film, where they clashed with each other, in Bharat, Jackie will play Salman’s father and Priyanka Chopra who has been signed to play the female lead will play Salman’s wife. Like Salman, as they become older in the film, she too will sport five different looks in the movie with the help of prosthetics.


Says a trade source, “The role of Salman’s father may not be a big one but it’s pivotal to the film and shapes Salman’s character and who he becomes later. It was Salman who wanted Jackie to play this powerful role. It starts in 1947 when the Partition takes place and thousands of families are separated and ends in 2000. The movie is the journey of a country and also a person, both of whom go by the name of Bharat. Ode To My Father begins with the Hungnam Evacuation in 1950 when many families got separated in Korea and the father tells his son Yoon Deok-soo, ‘If I don’t come you are the head of the family that means whatever happens you put the family first. Now, that you are the head of the family, look after them well.’ Jackie plays Salman’s father and his words remain with the young boy (Salman) right till the end. They get separated during the Partition in Bharat but his father’s words and desire to reunite with him remains right till the end.”


While the film is an official adaptation of the South Korean drama film, Ode to My Father (2014), Bharat has been adapted to Indian audiences with certain changes. But the source adds, “Like Ode To My Father, which spans over many years, Bharat’s story will span over a period of 50 years and that’s why we will see Salman Khan sporting five different looks in the movie – as a young boy who witnesses the Partition to the current years when he is an old man. As the firstborn, Bharat becomes his family’s breadwinner from an early age, doing all manner of odd jobs to support the family. The film begins from a modern day elderly couple (Salman and Priyanka) reminiscing about their past and how they fell in love and got married. So we will get to see a very young Priyanka Chopra and Salman Khan and old ones too. There are flashbacks to various phases of time. Like Ode To My Father which depicted Korean history from the 1950s till the recent times, Bharat too will highlight various important events of Indian history.”


Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat began shoot on Sunday at Mumbai’s Filmistan Studios resembling a circus tent with Disha Patani and Salman Khan. The film will have Salman playing a stunt motorcyclist while Disha will be a trapeze artiste. Produced by Atul Agnihotri, Bharat will be filmed in Abu Dhabi, Spain, Malta, Punjab and Delhi.

Bharat Teaser | Salman Khan | EID 2019 | Ali Abbas Zafar | T-Series

If it's another s***ty action movie like Race, ready etc. I hope it flops. Sick of this lazy dude getting blockbusters with barely any effort

Good vibes from this one

I'm worried about the movie because of Katrina, hopefully it's more of a Zero esque performance than how she was in her previous movies with Salman (awful)

No doubt she looked good in that movie but I didn't see a good performance. Obviously not from Salman either, it was just a dumb masala movie so no one tried. Here considering the story they are adapting, she will need to show some real acting skills which rarely happens. 

Like imagine if she was the female lead in Sultan..lol.

Bharat Movie Review

Bharat Movie Rating 4.5/5

Review by Bollywood Hungama News Network

5 June 2019 8:34 am IST



In Bollywood, a film that covers an entire lifespan of a character is very rare and is only seen in biopics. Hollywood has done that quite often in fictional films but in our cinema, it has rarely been witnessed. Blockbuster director Ali Abbas Zafar, after delivering two Rs. 300 crore grossers, is now back with BHARAT. It stars Salman Khan in the lead and he’ll be seen in various avatars as he ages through the film. The looks of the superstar has been appreciated but will these praises be there for the film as well? Will BHARAT work despite being such an atypical entertainer? Let’s analyse.

BHARAT is about the journey of a man and a nation together. The story begins in 1947 in Mirpur village near Lahore. Bharat (Salman Khan) is a kid and his father Gautam Kumar (Jackie Shroff) dotes on him. This is the time of Partition and Bharat and his family are compelled to leave for India. At the railway station, Bharat is climbing on top of the train with his sister Gudiya (Barbiee Sharma) when she falls down on the station. Gautam has already managed to safely climb atop the train but he goes down to search Gudiya. But before that, he gives his watch to Bharat and assures him that he'll be back. He also tells him to go with his mother Janki (Sonali Kulkarni), brother and sister to Gautam's sister Jamuna (Ayesha Raza Mishra)'s shop, Hind Ration Store in Delhi. Bharat and his family cross over to India and thus go to the ration shop as asked by Gautam. They are quite poor and Bharat starts doing odd jobs. Bharat soon grows up as a dashing young man (Salman Khan) and he and his childhood friend Vilayati (Sunil Grover) join a circus. Here he comes across the sizzling Radha (Disha Patani). Both Bharat and Radha get into a relationship while also doing death defying stunts. However when Bharat realises his stunts might be influencing youngsters to do the same without proper training, he quits the circus. He goes to employment exchange where he meets Kumud (Katrina Kaif) and gets smitten by her. Bharat and Vilayati are sent to Middle East to work in the oil fields. The money is good but not as much as he expected to earn. Hence, Bharat decides to work in the dangerous underground mines. Kumud who is now in love with Bharat stops him from taking up the project since she's aware that the risk is quite high. Bharat however still takes up the work. All is well at first but 21 days later, an explosion takes place in the underground mine. It seems near impossible for Bharat and his other colleagues to come out alive. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

BHARAT is based on the 2014 Korean flick Ode To My Father (directed by Yoon Je-kyoon; written by Park Su-jin). The story has been Indianized very well and the important events of post-Independence India like the death of Jawaharlal Nehru, rise of unemployment, the 1983 Cricket World Cup final, era of liberalisation and globalisation, emerging trend of redevelopment etc are well inserted in the narrative. Ali Abbas Zafar and Varun V Sharma’s screenplay is effective and keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. The emotional sequences especially are quite well written. Ali Abbas Zafar and Varun V Sharma’s dialogues are simple and sharp, and even quite funny at places.

Ali Abbas Zafar’s direction is topnotch. Unlike his previous films, this film is in a different zone but Ali handles it all like a pro. The film changes tracks every 15-20 minutes and to handle such a film is not a cakewalk. For instance, after the tragic Partition scene, the film gets a bit comic and even quite colourful in the circus sequence. The switch however happens quite seamlessly and this can be seen throughout the film. On the flipside however, the humour is forced in a few scenes and doesn’t make the desired impact. Also, the National Anthem scene seems unwarranted for and could have been written in a better way.

BHARAT begins very well, showing the 70-year-old Bharat and his life in Delhi. One might feel that the makers perhaps have shown too much at this point. But one need not worry because there’s a lot that the principal character goes through in his life and it slowly gets unveiled. The childhood portion is moving while the circus scenes are vibrant and entertaining. The real fun however begins once Bharat meets Kumud and later when he starts working in the Middle East. Till this point, there hasn’t been much conflict in the tale. But it finally enters the narrative once Bharat and his teammates get trapped. The manner in which the film goes on a high at this point is seen to be believed. The second half gets better thankfully. The scenes of the ship are quite good and watch out for how the humour is so well infused in the sequence where the pirates attack the vessel! The best however is reserved for the pre-climax. An interesting development takes place here and it’ll surely bring tears to the eyes of viewers, a la BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN [2015]. The film ends on a justified note.

Salman Khan as expected rocks the show. He is dashing and entertaining in each and every avatar. And he seems convincing in all these makeovers. In the circus scene, he’s supposed to be below 30 years ago and it comes out just right. Even as an old man, he fits the part and makes subtle changes in his speech, body language etc. His fans are surely in for a treat! Katrina Kaif looks ravishing and performance wise, she is first rate. She gets to essay a very well-written part and she does justice to it. Her conversation with Salman while munching on shawarma is quite memorable. Sunil Grover gets a lot of screen time and is almost like the second lead of the film. And he makes good use of the opportunity and would surely be appreciated. Jackie Shroff’s screen time is very limited but he has a crucial part and he makes his presence felt. Disha Patani is sizzling and has a fine screen presence. Tabu (Meher) has a powerful cameo. Aasif Sheikh (Mehek’s husband) stands out with his characterization and humour. The kid actors - Barbiee Sharma, Kabir Sajid (young Bharat), Aaryan Prajapati (young Vilayati) and Matin Rey Tangu (young Jimmy) are adorable. Nora Fatehi (Sussan) looks quite hot but is wasted. Sonali Kulkarni, Kashmira Irani (Mehek), Kumud Kumar Mishra (Keemat), Ayesha Raza Mishra, Shashank Arora (Chhote), Rajiv Gupta (Gulati) and Ivan Rodrigues (Gupta) are decent. Meiyang Chang is hardly there but his look is quite badass.

Vishal-Shekhar's music is good but could have been better. 'Slow Motion' is the top song of the lot followed by 'Chashni'. 'Aithey Aa' is well choreographed. 'Zinda' is exhilarating. 'Tupreya', 'Aaya Na Tu' and 'Thap Thap' are okay. Julius Packiam's background score is better and exhilarating, especially in the emotional scenes. Vaibhavi Merchant and Adil Shaikh's choreography is appealing, especially in 'Slow Motion' and 'Aithey Aa'.

Marcin Laskawiec's cinematography is captivating and some scenes are very well captured. Rajnish Hedao's production design is quite rich. Ashley Rebello, Alvira Khan Agnihotri, Veera Kapur Ee and Lolveen Bains's costumes are authentic and also glamorous. The ones worn by Katrina Kaif and Disha Patani stand out. SeaYoung Oh, Parvez Shaikh and Dave Judge's action is not too gory and is appropriate. Rameshwar Bhagat's editing falters in a few places but overall, it’s commendable, considerable the expansive storyline.

On the whole, BHARAT is a super-entertainer with emotions as its strong USP and Salman Khan like never before. The superb combination of Salman Khan, emotions and the release period [Eid] will ensure fireworks at the ticket windows. At the box office, it will fetch bumper profits for all concerned.

Bharat Collects Well On Day Two

Friday 07 June 2019 11.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network



Bharat dropped around 30% post the big Eid Holiday but still had good collections in the 30 crore nett range. This takes the collections of the film to around 72 crore nett over the first two days which is a big total. The film was helped by Bassi Eid as many circuits held up very strongly be it CPCI, Bihar or Delhi / UP. The latter collected 7.25 crore nett which is one of the higher than most other biggies have collected on the first day.

The normal drop post Eid is around 25% and this film has dropped a little higher than normal but it was also coming of higher opening numbers then previous Eids. The collections will be a mixed back over the next few days as some areas will drop as they coming of Eid and then city multiplexes may make ground over the weekend.

East Punjab which has no Eid affect after the first day saw a 47% drop on a working Thursday which is probably normal coming off a big holiday. The trend here will be interesting over the next two days as its real value and if this circuit goes back up over the weekend then the film is likely to do very well.


The collections of Bharat over the first two days are as follow

Wednesday - 41,75,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 30,00,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 71,75,00,000 apprx


The drops on day two ranged from 47% in the East Punjab was the biggest while in UP and Bihar it was as little as 15%.

‘Bharat’ storms Eid box office as Salman Khan’s biggest opener

The Bollywood film is currently screening in the UAE

Published: June 07, 2019 11:58

IANS



Salman Khan’s latest film ‘Bharat’ minted over Rs420 million on the first day of its release, June 5. The actor took to social media to thank his fans for giving “me my career’s biggest opening ever”.

“Big thank you to all for giving me my career’s biggest opening ever,” tweeted the actor.

“What made me the happiest and proudest is when during a scene in my film, national anthem is recited and every one stood up as a mark of respect. There could be no bigger respect for our country than this... Jai Hind,” Khan added.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, ‘Bharat’, which also stars actress Katrina Kaif, is Khan’s biggest Eid opener.

“‘Bharat’ storms the box office. Proves yet again Salman Khan is the biggest crowd puller. ‘Bharat’ opens much bigger than Salman and [director] Ali Abbas Zafar’s ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ (Rs 341 million) and ‘Sultan’ (Rs 365.4 million). ‘Bharat’ — Wednesday (Rs423 million) India business,” Taran tweeted.

‘Bharat’ is an official remake of the Korean film ‘An Ode To My Father’. The Bollywood film depicts the history of India through the life of an ordinary man.

After receiving a positive response from the audience, Zafar said in a statement: “It is humbling to be showered this kind of love by audiences. I have tried to present Salman Khan in a totally new light and as a totally new hero with ‘Bharat’. I’m ecstatic that audiences have liked our attempt to make ‘Bharat’ a thoroughly entertaining joyride that also has its soul in the right place.”

The film also features Sunil Grover, Jackie Shroff, Tabu, Satish Kaushik and Disha Patani. The film is screening in the UAE.

Bharat Set To Emerge A Winner

Saturday 08 June 2019 22.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network



Bharat is back on track on Saturday after collections going down for two days. The film will show growth in the range of 20-25% and collect in the 25-26 crore nett. There are some places that have fallen but that is because they are coming off the Eid phase but this will level out in the course of time.

The important factor is that a circuit like East Punjab with no Eid affect is up 40-50% and metros Mumbai city, Pune and Bangalore where Eid is also for two days only as far as collections are concerned are showing bigger gains than the all India number. It was very important for the film to show an upward trajectory in these places as this means there is some appreciation for the film. The last year has seen films not recovering from the downward slide but Bharat has recovered very well in circuits where it was a normal Friday.

The four day business of the film will be around 118 crore nett plus and it will emerge a HIT / SUPER HIT film depending on the holds on Monday and next week. The film has not found all round appreciation but that was clear from the second day drop but the bigger cities have liked the film enough and the multiplex business should take the film forward in the long run.

The business may be lesser in smaller centers in the long run but the star pull and Eid has meant numbers in mass circuits are already very healthy.
