October 28, 2010 : Naagin avatar of Mallika Sherawat has finally shown her magic during the weekend. Hisss opened with rave reviews from the critics and no one expected the film to fetch a good number of viewers. But this incredible thing has happened and it has been able to earn more than 6 crore during the opening weekend from the Hindi version alone.
The sexy Mallika has raised her fangs to draw her fans towards the cinema halls and she has been successful in attracting them with her ‘naagin’ avatar. However, she failed to draw the elite class but who cares if the film does good business with any other group of audience.
Now, Hisss can term itself a commercially successful movie and a hit with the distributors. Surprisingly, Mallika has been able to give a good competition to the big budgeted male star driven films like Vivek Oberoi’s Rakta Charitra and John Abraham’s Jhootha Hi Sahi. These two films were better promoted compared to Hisss so this success comes as a surprise to many.
The film has received a very positive response from young audiences and single screens. An extremely elated Mallika was quoted saying that the most important thing for her is that her younger generation fans have liked the movie.
There was a buzz that director Jennifer Lynch distanced herself from the movie after it received negative critical comments. On this, Mallika said that the real story is yet to come out and they are happy to take the credit of the success.
Well, it seems ‘naagin’ is showing her real color now!
