The movie’s story revolves around Fanney Khan, a struggling singer who wants to make his daughter a big name in music world. The teenage daughter is an aspiring singer but is unable to make it big. Her father, played by Kapoor, dissuades her from following her heart since he also suffered a similar fate and gave up on his pursuit of happiness. Enter Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, an established singer who reinvigorates the daughter. In an attempt to get Aishwarya rub off some of her charm on his daughter, Fanney Khan abducts her with the help of a reluctant associate, played by Rajkummar Rao. Fanney Khan is the directorial debut of Atul Manjrekar and has been co-produced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Anil Kapoor Film & Communication Network and T-Series. _Firstpost's_ review  of the movie read: “A weak script with some directing inconsistencies, Fanney Khan had room to be an enjoyable comedy or satire. Instead it careened towards over-the-top melodrama with debatable messaging.” Anubhav Sinha’s Mulk  — starring Rishi Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Prateik Babbar, Rajat Kapoor and Ashutosh Rana in important roles — managed to earn Rs 1.60 crore on its opening day, according to a report by The Indian Express. _Firstpost_ review of Mulk read the following: “The courtroom scenes also hammer home the larger point that terrorism is not only Islamic but of various other forms. However, when viewed through a logical prism and not one misted by any colour (green or saffron), Mulk stands out an eye-opener for those who wish to see the world untainted.” Irrfan Khan, Dulquer Salmaan and Mithila Palkar’s Karwaan minted Rs 1.5 crore on its first day.  _Firstpost_ review  of Karwaan read the following: “At one point, a character in this film explains that he is not sure whether Person X was a good guy but it is clear that he was not bad, which in itself is quite something in this day and age. There can be no more appropriate a description of Karwaan: it is not earth shattering, but it is not bad at all. Which is another way of saying it is an intelligent, funny, thoughtful film and a pleasant experience.”
