the sound of trees ( dir . françois péloquin ) $ 2 , 000 cash prize sponsored by directors guild of canada ( bc district counsel ) * new award for 2015 *
that said , the film has overcome a legal bid seeking to cancel its cannes premiere .
boutique distributors interested in the pic — and there may be a few — might wish to tweak the title slightly : quite aside from risking unwanted confusion with gus van sant’s recent cannes dud “the sea of trees , ” the new age - y implications of “the sound of trees” don’t quite square with its raw , sometimes rowdy portrayal of stir - crazy adolescent debauchery in the small village of gaspesie — the flat , thirsty vistas of which are shot with appropriately desolate grandeur ( going heavy on the late - afternoon lens flares ) by francois messier - rheault .
then again , as a literal reference to the timberyard vocation seemingly prescribed for young jeremie ( l’ecuyer ) , “the sound of trees” is perhaps an apt description of the quiet life he yearns to escape — even if the road only takes him as far as the relative metropolis of quebec city . dedicated in the closing credits to the helmer’s own son , peloquin’s film is shot through with a warm understanding of how people shift and widen their personal goalposts as the decades pass , and the compensatory rewards we give ourselves when certain dreams go unfulfilled .
the film’s final minutes leave you feeling angry and cheated , like the loser in a game of narrative three - card monte . the man next to me in the theater slowly shook his head as the end credits crawled down the screen , as if the film had crossed a line he didn’t know existed .
director biography french - canadian director françois péloquin makes his feature - film debut with the sound of trees . he also directs documentary series , music videos , commercials , visual designs for the stage , and short films . his past credits include l ' amour domestique , les derniers jours de juin , and l ' or du silence . he discovered his love of filmmaking as a videographer for radio - canada .
17 year - old jérémie ( antoine l ' écuyer ) dreams of a better life , away from the family sawmill and his native village in gaspésie , québec . instead of the forestry work , jérémie prefers hip hop music , pimping his car and slacking off with his friends . the situation despairs his father régis ( roy dupuis ) , who blames this disinterest on a local drug dealer . when the elder brother leaves town , the lives of jérémie and régis drastically change . filmed in around thirty scenes , the sound of trees is a film that chronicles moments in the summer of a teenager caught between the river and the forest .
françois péloquin is an anthropologist at heart with a deep love of people and their ordinary ways . one of his big strengths is being able to create powerful images that reflect his obsession for truthful details . he discovered the film medium in 1997–98 when , as a videographer for radio - canada tv , he shot the travel series “la course autour du monde 97–98 . ” this was followed by numerous short films , commercials , music videos , documentary series and visual designs for the stage . the sound of trees is péloquin’s feature debut . he is currently working on his second film entitled the secrets , whose screenplay again involves the collaboration of sarah lévesque .
if you are wandering one day , lonely and lost , and happen upon the sea of trees , the latest from oscar - nominated director gus van sant , chop it to the ground .
founded in 1982 , the greater vancouver international film festival society is a not - for - profit cultural society and federally registered charitable organization that operates the internationally acclaimed vancouver international film festival ( viff ) , the annual viff industry conference and the year - round programming of the vancity theatre at the vancouver international film centre . its mandate is to encourage understanding of the world ' s cultures through the art of cinema , to foster the art of cinema , to facilitate the meeting in british columbia of cinema professionals from around the world , and to stimulate the motion picture industry in british columbia . in its 34th year , the vancouver international film festival welcomes the world to vancouver from september 24 - october 9 , 2015 as it showcases the top bc , canadian and international films and plays host to industry professionals from around the globe .
starring matthew mcconaughey and naomi watts , the film debuted in infamy at last year’s cannes film festival , where it premiered to deafening boos . the sea of trees was the lowest - scoring cannes entry in over a decade , earning an abysmal 0 . 6 ( out of 4 ) from the screen jury ranking . those jeers echo loudly over its american release : the onetime awards season hopeful is hobbling into just a few theaters ahead of a planned vod debut . if there were any justice in the world , though , the film would have been chained to a radiator in a basement somewhere , trapped for eternity .
it would have been one thing to settle for vapid sentimentality , but what makes the sea of trees so galling , as it turns the afterlife into a game of riddles , is how manipulative it is .
providing a strong sense of place is francois messier - rhealt ’s majestic widescreen cinematography , which includes impressive overhead shots and a lot of magic - hour backlighting of the rural locales in which the story unfolds . besides sketching the story of how a son becomes his own man , trees also shows how canada’s already thinly populated provinces are transformed by the arrival of industrial mechanization and the departure of the land’s sons to the big cities .
the sea of trees isn’t just a bad film ; it should be an embarrassment to everyone involved in making it . the metaphysical weepie deals with sensitive subject matter — depression , suicide , and cancer — with the grace and subtlety of an atomic bomb , ending in a finale so painfully misjudged that it must be seen to be believed .
the filmography of an american master , from indy to the extra - terrestrial .
there may not be a genre with as limited a capacity to surprise a grown audience as the still - ubiquitous coming - of - age drama : while teenage kicks may switch from generation to generation , the process of self - realization they accompany remains universally constant . it’s the subtler textures of environment and character , then , that distinguish entries like francois peloquin’s debut feature , “the sound of trees , ” from the dewy - eyed dross . short and bittersweet , this portrait of a 17 - year - old trainee lumberjack seeking a life larger than his rural corner of quebec benefits from a close , compassionate view of its protagonist’s community — including several adults who haven’t yet found their own direction . balmily shot and dynamically anchored by proven young talent antoine l’ecuyer , “trees” will spread its branches amply on the festival circuit .
the film , which stars matt dillon as a serial killer , apparently features scenes in which women and children are mutilated . it premiered at cannes on monday and hundreds of people reportedly walked out .
the film is set in rural québec , and tells the story of mildly rebellious 17 - year old jérémie ( antoine l ' equyer , a cute but emotionally vacant actor ) . jérémie works at this father ' s economically stressed saw mill ( the local forests are being destroyed by big industrial companies . ) honestly not much happens in the film . the boy has adventures , and subsidiary characters do strangely unexplained things . the script rambles along to its vague conclusion ; but i never got involved enough with the characters to care .
viff gratefully acknowledges the generous support of our premier partners rogers communications and telefilm canada . viff also extends its thanks and appreciation to the city of vancouver , province of british columbia through the ministry of community , sport , and cultural development ' s community gaming grants program , as well as the government of canada through the department of canadian heritage ' s building communities through arts & heritage program .
at 17 jérémie dreams of a life different from the one that awaits him at the family sawmill in the small canadian town where he lives .
the film’s structure is a familiar one for van sant . his 2002 effort gerry is a noble experiment in non - narrative cinema , in which casey affleck and matt damon are trapped in the desert . the men journey toward a punishingly empty horizon in search of food , water , or rescue . the sea of trees marries the director’s minimalist tendencies , likewise on display in his palme d’or winner elephant , to the forced whimsy of his 2011 feature restless . in that wistful teen cancer romance , a young man spends his days hanging out with the ghost of a wwii kamikaze pilot , who is helping the young man come to terms with the death of his parents . he will learn to cherish life again when he meets a free - spirited young woman at a funeral he attended uninvited , a curiously unexplained hobby of his . the catch is , of course , that she has just months left to live .
the sea of trees , however , makes that film look like citizen kane . in an unnecessary series of flashbacks , it’s revealed that arthur was once married to joan ( watts ) , from whom he became increasingly estranged over the course of their two - decade marriage . joan and arthur don’t have problems . they have a collection of clichés . the couple was once happy — that is , before arthur cheated with a co - worker . why did he do it ? arthur tells takumi he isn’t sure , but that’s because the screenplay by chris sparling ( buried ) doesn’t seem to have thought too much about the answer .
this is quickly turning into an exceptional year for canadian coming - of - age titles with a strong sense of place : at cannes , andrew cividino ’s sleeping giant , set on lake ontario , was part of the critics’ week lineup ; in munich , the superior german - canadian co - production coconut hero , set in a former mining town in rural ontario , premiered ; and now there’s trees , set in bas - saint - laurent , the densely wooded , sparsely populated region of quebec just north of maine . the latter film premiered in karlovy vary , though oddly , despite being one of the strongest entries in competition , it went home empty - handed . it was released locally july 3 .

in the film’s finest ( read : only decent ) sequence , arthur enters the woods prepared to die . “please think again , so that you can make your life a happy one , ” a sign posted at the entrance warns . he walks through a litany of bodies scattered throughout the brush to reach his final destination , an open clearing in the forest . as arthur prepares to swallow a bottle of pills , he spots a helpless japanese man , takumi ( ken watanabe ) , who cannot find his way out of the woods . the professor halts his plans to help the wounded stranger get home to his family .
like elsewhere in the film , peloquin , who co - wrote the screenplay with sarah levesque , here beautifully suggests character through action and helps to gently force the audience’s perspective on the leads by carefully moving their elements into place . maya is never really seen , for example , until the night they have sex , though some days have passed since the start of the film . this initially suggests that jay doesn’t care about her , an impression reinforced by the fact viewers won’t even know her name until much later . but as she becomes a recurring character , she grows in importance and reveals information not only about herself but , through his complex reactions to her presence in his life , also about jay .
at the age of 17 jérémie dreams of a different life from the one that awaits him at the family sawmill in the small rural canadian town where he lives . he’s more interested in pimping his car , listening to hip hop , and slacking off with his friends . the relationship between jérémie and his father takes a turn for the worse when the boy’s older brother gets married and moves away . this feature debut betrays something of the director’s past life as a documentary filmmaker . with an eye for detail and a feel for the rural environment and its specific character , he offers an impressive work which , in thirty scenes , chronicles a teenager’s summer , at the end of which jérémie will make a life - changing decision . this is a summer that will never be repeated . the quasi - impressionistic film is intriguing for its precise characterisation and for the authentic performances from antoine l’écuyer in the role of jérémie and roy dupuis as his father régis .
reviewed at karlovy vary film festival ( competing ) , july 6 , 2015 . running time : 76 min . ( original title :
le bruit des arbres
)
mcconaughey , though , appears to be sleepwalking through the picture’s turgid , obvious dramatics — which are less “kitchen sink” than “rural outhouse . ” in mud and true detective , the native texan lends an understated gravity to his performances , playing damaged men haunted by what they’ve seen . but in the sea of trees , mcconaughey is not wounded but petrified . when it’s revealed that his wife has brain cancer , the actor looks like he just took a fistful of ambien . his scenes with watanabe are dull and listless , the two men heading down a path to nowhere .
when devastating events occur , péloquin seems to regard them as the natural and naturally crippling effect of proverbially flying too close to the sun , but seems weirdly oblivious to any role they might play aside from ways to make his characters and viewers suffer . when i hadn’t quite gotten a handle on the film yet , i thought that an early , horrific moment might reveal something about jérémie… but then everyone in the movie proceeds to act as if nothing happened , and that weird inconsequentiality does not appear to have been part of any kind of intentional gesture on péloquin’s part .
l’ecuyer , who first made a youthful impact in the 2008 festival charmer “it’s not me , i swear ! , ” plays jeremie beautifully , etching brief , involuntary flashes of boyish desperation amid the character’s swaggering pride and petulance . he’s perfectly matched by canadian film veteran dupuis , tender - tough but wry - humored as a father whose sturdy foundations might not bear his children’s closest scrutiny .
with his baseball cap on backwards , fake diamond studs in his ears , pitiful attempt at facial hair and his passion for fast cars and urban , “post - rap” hip hop ( including montreal - based group dead obies ) , jay may look and act like countless other 17 - year - olds . but jeremie’s journey toward adulthood is his alone thanks to a strong screenplay , relatively light on narrative momentum but that constantly translates actions into character insight , and to a towering , apparently effortless performance from the magnetic l’ecuyer . though dupuis is terrific , this is really the young actor’s film . when he hits the road in one of the film’s last shots , he’s clearly not the boy from that opening steadicam shot anymore . instead , he’s become a young man .
17 year - old jérémie ( antoine l’écuyer ) dreams of a better life , away from the family sawmill and his native village in gaspésie , québec . instead of the forestry work , jérémie prefers hip hop music , pimping his car and slacking off with his friends . the situation despairs his father régis ( roy dupuis ) , who blames this disinterest on a local drug dealer . when the elder brother leaves town , the lives of jérémie and régis drastically change .

there may not be a genre with as limited a capacity to surprise a grown audience as the still - ubiquitous coming - of - age drama : while teenage kicks may switch from generation to generation , the process of self - realization they accompany remains universally constant . it’s the subtler textures of environment and character , then , that distinguish entries like francois peloquin’s debut [ … ]
yet another coming - of - age summer story , but francois peloquin ' s touching , accomplished debut succeeds in the details .
mcconaughey plays arthur brennan , an adjunct college professor who travels to japan to end his life . after he googles “the perfect place to die” on his laptop ( seriously ) , arthur learns of a large wooded area located near mt . fuji where people from all over the world travel to commit suicide . known as the aokigahara forest , the spot was also featured in this past january’s horror release the forest .
peloquin’s lean but flavorful script , co - written with sarah levesque , resolves these collected tensions — or leaves them to fester — in much the manner you’d expect , but the characters’ modest triumphs and occasionally devastating setbacks are touching all the same . ( it helps that a trio of editors have pruned proceedings to a running time of 76 minutes , ideal for the pic’s ambitions and outlook . ) there’s a palpable sense here of the spirit of concern , edging into oppressive neighborly judgment , that binds tight populations like this one ; it’s as easy to see how our bright but under - stimulated hero is a product of this community as it is to sympathize with his desire to flee .
the devout ( dir . connor gaston ) $ 7 , 500 cash prize sponsored by the union of bc performers and actra fraternal benefits society + $ 10 , 000 equipment credit supplied by william f . white
for his part , jeremie appears to have devoted less thought to what he does want to do with his life than what he emphatically doesn’t . he’s keen on french hip - hop and fast engines , while his derivative dress sense ( snapbacks and baggy jeans , with gleaming studs in his ears ) acts as an urban - reaching retort to his country surroundings . ( it’s also just a couple of years off - trend , as it probably would be so many miles out from the cities of his dreams ; the film is strong on such tacitly observed details . ) jeremie lives on the family sawmill with his father , regis ( roy dupuis ) , and his older brother ; when the latter leaves town with his new bride , the teenager’s wanderlust grows ever more impatient . the boys’ mother is not in evidence : whether she passed away or succumbed to similarly restless urges is left for the audience to ponder .
at 17 jérémie dreams of a life different from the one that awaits him at the family sawmill in the small canadian town where he lives . jérémie is more interested in pimping his car , listening to hip hop , and slacking off with his friends . this impressionistic debut , built upon convincing performances , tells of a summer that completely changed a teenager’s life .
following the affair , joan begins having a drink after work every day , and her portion size is the entire bottle . arthur describes his ex - wife as a “high - functioning alcoholic , ” which means that she’s lucid enough to constantly remind her husband of his shortcomings , even in front of his friends . in the grand tradition of cinema’s “bitch wives , ” joan has two modes : nag and nag . watts brings a furious intensity to the role , but it’s wasted on such a one - dimensional character .
when not helping out in the mill , jeremie spends his free time burning rubber , getting high and goofing around with childhood friends francis ( remi goulet ) and p . o . ( charles - emile lafleur ) . though it’s increasingly evident — first to the viewer , though gradually to jeremie himself — that he’s outgrowing their company , he’s not yet mature enough to sustain a serious relationship with sometime g . f . maya ( a winning willia ferland - tanguay ) . caught in limbo between putting away childish things and accepting the burden of adulthood , the lad whiles away a long , hot summer — as if any other kind exists in this genre — waiting for a sign as to his next move . when it comes , it’s arguably via the actions and crises of his elders : regis views the future of the family business with a skepticism that matches his son’s , while a spirit of mobilized animosity toward the kids’ local drug dealer surges hotly across the village .
siff ' s mission is to create experiences that bring people together to discover extraordinary films from around the world . it is through the art of cinema that we foster a community that is more informed , aware , and alive .
but adolescence and , more generally , emancipation are of course impossible without change , which in turn provides drama . with jeremie’s older brother marrying and leaving home and the family business , and their father receiving a takeover bid for his mill , which has reliable but not exactly state - of - the - art equipment , it slowly starts to dawn on the protagonist that the only certainty about his future might be that , whatever happens , nothing will be like it was before .
these are the ones that terrify us in ways we never quite get over .

without getting too intellectual , suffice it to say that in order to mature , jay needs to experience not only eros but also thanatos , or death . a scene involving the family dog teaches father and son something about responsibility . though it’s played with a salty kind of matter - of - factness that’s linked to their rural reality and completely avoids melodrama , the scene is nonetheless heart - wrenching . it also foreshadows a ghastly discovery in the dairy barn of francis’s family , a subplot that’s somewhat disorientingly introduced by a temporary shift in perspective to a peripheral adult character but that lands on its feet with an impressive closeup of jeremie’s face as he stumbles backwards and manages to steady himself on a bale of hay , eyes wide open in horror .
without being exactly overemphatic , péloquin evinces way too much comfort with simply enacting coming - of - age clichés . his protag jérémie clumsily overasserts his masculinity like any teenager… with emphasis on the “like any teenager” part , because his psychology is ultimately fairly meaningless with regards to the directions his story takes .
there ' s a sense that his father expects him to take over the business , but it’s not immediately clear to jay what he wants for himself either professionally or even in general . his ambiguous relationship with maya ( willia ferland - tanguay ) , suggests as much . after a nighttime dare involving a high bridge and practically no clothes , he kisses the girl full on the mouth and they stumble into the undergrowth to have sex . he explains to someone they were just flirting but it later emerges they “broke up , ” even though apparently they “never were together . ” whatever the truth , a terrific scene with her alone on the steps of a rural store not only uncovers jay’s tender side but also suggests to what extent he takes after his outwardly rough but also sincere and loving father . and whatever the teens’ relationship status might be , any boy that’s as territorial as jay is about maya clearly feels something for her .

following joan’s passing , arthur goes to aokigahara looking to absolve his guilt , but he finds the closure he seeks from a companion who may be more than what he seems . he feels like he never knew his wife — because he didn’t know what her favorite book , favorite color , or favorite season were . this information , however , will be delivered to him from beyond the grave in an out - of - left - field twist that would put m . night shyamalan to shame .

a raw , poignant , finely detailed portrait of a québécois teenager who , over one long summer , will do anything—drugs , girls , theft—to escape his bucolic life and evade his fate to inherit his father ' s sawmill .
jeremie ( l’ecuyer ) , or jay for short , loves to hang out with his buds francis ( remi goulet ) and p . o . ( charles - emile lafleur ) and more than occasionally , as teenage boys are wont to do , they get up to no good , whether it’s scoring drugs from a local dealer who lives in a dingy lakeside trailer or stealing hubcaps off cars in a scrap yard . initially , life seems to simply run its lazy summertime course , in total freedom and without any worries , as suggested by a languorously fluid steadicam shot of jay biking from home to his father’s sawmill with the family dog wagging its tail as it runs along besides him .

the first trailer of great grand masti , the third film in the masti franchise , was released last night at a suburban multiplex in mumbai amid much hilarity by the three main leads , vivek oberoi , riteish deshmukh and aftab shivdasani .
unofficial film ; crossover film featuring both byomkesh bakshi ( played by soumitra chatterjee ) and feluda ( played by sabyasachi chakrabarty ) .
however , the starting notifications of the film declare it as an original work and not as a sequel to any previous film .
back in 2013 , grand masti ( second in masti franchise ) had enjoyed the first day of 12 . 5 crore . such huge were collections for the film belonging to the adult comedy genre that it excited one and all amongst the industry .
in this box office report , we take a look at the overall collections of great grand masti , breaking the film’s collections into a day - wise break - up of domestic collections and also tracking the film’s overseas numbers .
the third instalment in the masti franchise titled great grand masti , released yesterday . the film directed by indra kumar featuring riteish deshmukh , aftab shivdasini , vivek oberoi , urvashi rautela and shraddha das hit screens earlier than scheduled after it was leaked online .

adi and sid want to make big but always run out of luck and series of confusion start taking place when they reach goa .
the story of a bunch of misfits whose misconception about each others backgrounds end up in a series of chaotic , yet comic outcomes .
masti , which released in 2004 , was one of the first adult comedy film in hindi cinema . it gave an insight into the lives of three men who are keen to have an extramarital affair to spice up their lives . after nine years , the makers followed it up with grand masti .
apparently , the cbfc has refused to sanction a certificate to the film . . .
initially it was a television film made for the feluda 30 tv series which aired on dd bangla in 1996 . later it was released in nandan complex and as dvd & vcd in 2001 . click here and here for further details .
circa 2016 and the third in the series , great grand masti , has failed to bring these numbers even in the entire weekend . in fact the kind of numbers that it has amassed so far , i . e . 8 crore * , the best case scenario for the indra kumar directed film would be to match 12 . 5 crore in an entire week .
made under the balaji motion pictures banner , the film will be releases on july 22 .
riteish took to his twitter to introduce to his fans the first look of the film . he captioned the image as : this time masti becomes greater and grander ! let the fun begin . first look # greatgrandmastitoday
the film has been rejected in a big way and it is the one of the biggest disasters for all involved with it . no one really expected the film to fare so poorly but that has now happened . with this , great grand masti has joined fitoor as one of the biggest disasters of 2016 . the katrina kaif and aditya roy kapur starrer had brought in 19 crore in its final run and great grand masti would end its run around the 15 crore mark !

it is the remake of billa ( 1980 ) , which itself is the remake of the 1978 hindi film don .
obviously , he made it clear that the fourth film will also have the same trio when he was asked why the female star cast keeps changing in every masti film and not the three males . kumar jokingly replied , “girls keep changing since they keep ageing . but these three ( vivek , riteish and aftab ) are ageless . they are still mind - blowing . it seems they are just out of the oven . ”
the first look of great grand masti starring riteish deshmukh , aftab shivdasani and vivek oberoi was released on thursday ( june 16 ) . the trailer will be released later today .

with that , grand masti has made a profit of 36 crores so far , taking its profit percentage at 116 % at the domestic box office . going by its great pace at box office and tremendous likeability factor among the audiences , the film will surely cause more ripples on the koimoi roi list in the weeks to come !
i had made zero expectations before watching this movie as ' grand masti ' which was second in masti franchise lost my all faith in any more masti movie . but unexpectedly , this movie offers a new genre horror sex comedy which did very well for this movie . not to forget the direction , the songs , the dialogues & the timings of each lines . the movie grips the viewer & holds him to watch more of it even it doesn ' t make ant sense . some of the scenes cross the vulgarity level but i don ' t think people would consider it that way . urvashi rautela ; s expressions were just awesome . the kinkiness level played by her was best . also there were one shot of sonali raut which was also shown very well . sonali raut also did a great work , & for sure will make one grin & laugh on her . conclusion - its a laugh riot , very enjoyable movie with excellent songs with excellent music & beats . if one plans to refresh his / her mind & wants to forget intellectualism for a moment , this movie is a must watch & i would say best in the series after masti .
koimoi analyses the profit and loss measures of each film that is released , keeping a close eye on the investments made on it . the profit margins of the films are calculated on the basis of the film’s return on investment ( roi ) . roi is calculated by the number of times a movie earns over its production and marketing costs . contrary to popular belief , 100 crore club is not the index of profit or success . but it is the roi the film garners that makes it lucrative of profit incurring as a venture !
just check out the david dhawan - govinda combination at their best and you will know what i mean . indra kumar’s great grand masti though , is too lazy to cash in on the comic timing of at least two actors in the cast
comedy works best when actors play characters and funny things happen to them or around them . but in the masti series , which blends in with the kyaa kool hain hums and mastizaades , every character ( there’s also sanjay mishra as antakshari baba and usha nadkarni as amar’s screechy harridan of a mother - in - law ) reacts with bouts of kinetic twitching and gravity - defying face contortions . thankfully , the three wives , played by shraddha das , mishti and pooja bose , remain rather calm throughout despite the hysteria , stupidity and lecherous behaviour surrounding them .
if the 2015 bollywood film detective byomkesh bakshy ! is taken into account , the number of films in the franchisee will increase by one and the franchisee must , then , be counted under bilingual or multi - lingual heading .
if the hindi animated film goopi gawaiya bagha bajaiya is taken into account , the number of films in the franchisee will increase by one and the franchisee must , then , be counted under bilingual or multi - lingual heading .
indeed , if there’s one remarkable thing about this film , it’s that shivdasani , deshmukh and oberoi see merit in reprising their parts as lascivious men driven by under - serviced libidos and invest those roles with such energy and commitment .

note : the only one of great grand masti ’s young actresses with a somewhat distinct identity is former beauty contest winner urvashi rautela in the role of a perennially semi - nude ghost from doodhwadi . she seems like she just might have something to offer the world of cinema other than those football - sized breasts that the camera and costume managers of this film are so focused on , but if that is all the faith you have in your talent and screen presence , ms rautela , then … sigh ! … the choice is yours , of course .
on july 5th 2016 , a censor board screener copy of the film was leaked online , 2 weeks prior to the films release . as a result the makers were forced to bring forward the release date from july 22nd to july 15th .
grand masti is one of those 2013 films that remarkably worked wonders at the box office arena . made at a moderate budget of 31 crores , this adult - comedy opened up to a mammoth response , incurring 12 . 50 crores on the opening day , having a grand 40 crore weekend and ultimately netting in 67 crores in one week , snatching away the hit tag !

the film is about three frustrated married men amar ( riteish deshmukh ) meet ( vivek oberoi ) and prem ( aftab shivdasani ) who are out to have fun with every young available woman . all three have problems at home with someone from their respective wife ' s family . they want to get away and the three head to amar read more
as for sultan , more moolah has come in for the salman khan starrer and it has now crossed the 250 crore mark . with around 34 . 07 crore more coming in , the film has accumulated 263 . 23 crore so far . an all time blockbuster already , this yash raj affair has ensured huge profits for everyone associated with it .
the trailer indicated that the film will be much grander as far as the adult content is concerned . to this , riteish was asked whether his marathi fans , who are mostly family audiences , would be disappointed to see him do such films . the actor replied , “no , i don’t think so . i keep getting various kinds of genres and adult or naughty comedy is one . i don’t look down upon any genre . ”
there is little that is different in this film except one genuinely amusing quip about female infidelity and lesbianism , which is unexpected from an industry that otherwise finds humour only in bed - hopping men while placing promiscuous women in the dock and has barely acknowledged the existence of homosexual women in this world . surprise surprise , this particular scene is not tasteless . it proves that kumar possesses a quality not very common among humourists : the ability to crack jokes about a marginalised group without being condescending , to laugh with people rather than at them .

caution : the content of this review may be unsuitable for children . parental guidance is advised .
when the men take off on a break to find some action , they encounter the spirit of a beautiful woman who is desperate to lose her virginity to one of them .
an obsession with mammary glands , epitomised by a busty bai from a town named doodhwadi , which leads to an abundance of wisecracks about milk ( eww ! ) – check .
erections so large that they raise the height of a table at which a man is seated – check .
sense of sadness because indra kumar once directed a fun and not low - brow slapstick comedy , the madhuri dixit - starrer raja in 1995 – check .
heartbreak because riteish deshmukh is truly talented and one of bollywood’s finest comedians , but seems not to consider himself too good for this crass crap – check .
sense of sadness at the realisation that sweet aftab shivdasani was once a farex baby and his career struggles have brought him to this pass – check .
actresses playing amar , prem and meet’s wives , who are so summarily written that they are indistinguishable from each other – check .
who are capable of being a scream when given a good script : deshmukh and sanjay mishra .
if he did not have such a poor opinion of his potential audience and was not aiming pointedly at the lowest common denominator .

. such women must be tamed , not satisfied . and the one thing even a horny , unfaithful indian husband can bank upon to save him from death – or paranormal attacks – is a karva chauth vrat by a virtuous wife .
calls itself an “adult comedy” but is really directed at hormonally charged teenaged boys with a limited iq ( not the bright ones ) – check .
