Deepika Padukone
, will be aired on '&Pictures'- the first channel to be launched in the new bouquet.
"The price is Rs 40 crore plus for seven years, with a link to box office performance of the film but it is a win-win situation for both the channel and the producer," said Jyantilal Gada, who does all the buying of filmrightsfor the Zee group. While the Zee network already runs four Hindi film channels- Zee Cinema, Zee Premier, Zee Action and Zee Classic - and holds therightsto over 4,000 Hindi films, '&Pictures' will primarily run on a premier model with big new release titles, according to people close to the development.

When 3 Idiots (2009) touched the `202 crore (Netbox office in India-NBOC) with 1149 screens it was truly a cause for celebration.
Not only was this critically acclaimed film the first to hit a double century; the movie also accomplished the feat with less than half the number of screens that other movies are currently doing it in.Now with the big-daddies resorting to releasing their movies in double the number of screens and with a sharp increase in ticket prices around festivals and more opportune dates in the release calendar, more movies are crossing the `100 cr mark.
Suddenly the 100-cr club is becoming over-crowded. And the leaders have now opened membership to the new 150-cr club.
They have pushed the domestic box office benchmark to 150 cr and even as Chennai Expresstook a fantastic first day (the real figures will arrive shortly), you can see that Bollywood's 150-cr club is getting more members today.
According to Taran Adarsh, "Chennai Express" beat "Ek Tha Tiger" record, which had collected nearly 30.50 crore (INR) on its first day. Amul Mohan tweeted that "Chennai Express"first day collection is the second biggest opening day for any Bollywood movie.
"Chennai Express" earned approximately 6 crore (INR) from its Thursday preview shows. The movie, however, is shattering all other records.
The movie, released in 3500 theatres in Indian and around 700 overseas, is all set to become Shah Rukh Khan's biggest hit of his Bollywood career. Koimoi.com reports that "Chennai Express" is the highest opening day collection for the highly popular actor. "Though "Don 2," "Ra.One" and even "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" began well, "Chennai Express" assured that King Khan claims back his position of the highest opener ever."

Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) is the grandson of a famous sweetmeats merchant. He is immensely wealthy, but he is not too happy with his life.
On the train, he meets the very pretty Meenamma (Deepika Padukone). Meenamma is the daughter of a Tamil Don (played by Sathyaraj). She runs away from home, in order to escape an arranged marriage.
Chennai Express 1st Day Collections is :32.5Crores
Chennai Express 2nd Day Collections is :38.5Crores

Overall this is a film which belongs to distinct and lethal combo of Rohit Shetty and SRK.
It has item song but that is not vulgar like many other films in same genre, it has comedy but not slapstick like many other films of same genre, it is entertaining but not as mindless as many other films in same genre.

CHENNAI EXPRESS Is Outstanding Entertainer
Pluses:
Shahrukh Khan is back in OSO & Main Hoon Na form with outstanding performance, Deepika is surprise package with some real hilarious dialogues, Nikitin Dheer career will get boost after this film, Sathyaraj is good so is Mukesh Tiwari, Editing is strongest point, songs lift the spirit, dialogues are hilarious, director mixes all elements in right proportion
Minuses:
Film takes time to warm up, shooting locales are not at par with big films of SRK, script takes too many turns in due course
Critic Rating:
3.5/5
Business Rating:
4.5/5
Verdict:
Watch it for paisa vasool entertainment and superb cast/crew
Detail Analysis:
If it is a Shahrukh Khan release then excitement soars to new heights no matter what is the genre or what is the occasion. But after not so great spell in last few years at domestic box office, he teams up with director Rohit Shetty who has mastered box office, this excitement goes through the roof. On top of that Deepika Padukone adds brownie point after super successful YJHD.
Film has rather simple but interesting plot (and we will not reveal much as always been the case). Rahul (Shahrukh) goes on to a journey of his lifetime where he meets Meena (Deepika) and how his meeting with her changes his life completely. Tangaballi (Nikitin Dheer) who is good friend of Durgeshwara (Sathyaraj) puts forth every possible hurdle. But all the fun, song and dance make this journey an experience full of entertainment or we say dhamaal!
Performance wise Shahrukh Khan excels and excels big time. His comic timing and aura simply lift the film to another level. If this is not his best comic performance then certainly one of the best. He is back as hero for masses and how! The way Shahrukh takes you as fun narrator through the film is hilarious in itself! Deepika surprises in every frame and she is real surprise package of the film. Her accent and comic timing are top notch. This is her 2nd big performance in 2013 after YJHD. Nikitin Dheer makes a mark with intense performance and so is veteran south actor Sathyaraj. Mukesh Tiwari and Kamini Kaushal fit the bill in brief roles. Also be ready for few surprising supporting performances and cameos.
Music was not plus point before release but be assured that after watching it you will bound to change your opinion. Title song and "Titli" look best and positioned well. Vishal - Shekhar deserve all kudos for their work. Action always been a high point of Rohit SHetty cinema and he doesn't disappoint you this time either. Watch out for post interval portion, two mind blowing sequences. Editing is one thing which keeps film so breezy that you hardly blink before its over. Cinematography is decent but not so overwhelming location leave you wanting for more.
But it is director Rohit Shett who keeps proceedings racy and his command over providing the right mix of entertainment makes this special. There is a song followed by super dialogue and then some nail biting action - take a bow masala king! This will be by far the best work of Rohit Shetty.
Overall this is a film which belongs to distinct and lethal combo of Rohit Shetty and SRK. 1st half is very comic an light hearted and at interval point when SRK - Deepika elope from Deepika's house, the fun begins. It has item song but that is not vulgar like many other films in same genre, it has comedy but not slapstick like many other films of same genre, it is entertaining but not as mindless as many other films in same genre. This is a complete entertainer and surely win the heart of masses. But film's success will be decided by how well classes take it and how much film sustains on weekdays.
