The entire month of July was a wet spell in different parts of Maharashtra including the city of Mumbai and suburbs. This certainly affected the business of Marathi film industry, as there was poor turnout at cinema halls. And, the situation seems to be no different in the beginning of August. Recently, due to continuous rains, some of the better films like ‘Smile please’, ‘Girlfriend’, ‘Baba’ could not find the regular crowd at ticket windows across Maharashtra.

Now, during this week the situation has been worst in places like Konkan, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur and Pune. As per latest reports received, some of the areas in Maharashtra are still under water and the people have either left their houses for safer places, or preferred to remain inside their homes. T here has been lot of damage to the crop and property.

Some of the big Hindi films are releasing around 15th August, but this week a multi starrer Marathi film ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 2′ has been released as per schedule and the film will be screened at maximum cinema halls all over Maharashtra. Now, it remains to be seen, how this film does the business at the ticket windows in Mumbai and Maharashtra? Actor turned director Hemant Dhome who has directed this film is looking forward to good response for his film. According to him there is no calculation to make a successful film. The film should connect with the audience . And, this is most important.

‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 2′ has been shot in London and therefore it is a big budget film with multi star cast in it. It has renowned artistes like Sanjay Narvekar, Mrinal Kulkarni, Priyadarshan Jadhav, Aniket Vishwasrao, Mrunmayee Godbole, Pushkar Shrotri, Prasad Oak, Anand Ingale & Smita Gondkar. The film has music by Bollywood music directors Troy- Arif and cinematography by award winning cinematographer Sanjay Memane. So, there are big expectations from this film. But, once again as rightly said by the director, this film has to connect with the audience.
