Will Chennai Express break box office records?

Our Tarot card reader Shruti Chopra finds out if Shahrukh Khan-Deepika Padukone recreate the magic of Om Shanti Om
Just like you, we too are curious to know if the next big release of the year – Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express starring Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone – will manage to impress us. So we asked our tarot reader to peep into the future and tell us what the fate of this big budget flick will be.

BollywoodLife (BL): Will Deepika and Shahrukh recreate the magic of Om Shanti Om with Chennai Express?

Shruti Chopra (SC): Shahrukh and Deepika have very strong individual personalities, yet in Chennai Express you will not see these individuals – you will see their characters. Their characterisations will be fun, relatable and energetic. So, yes they will recreate the magic of Om Shanti Om, but what will be different is the ease with which they will act with each other. Their chemistry will be pleasing to watch.

Cards Revealed: The Star, Two & Four of Wands

BL: Will Chennai Express work at the box office?

SC: Chennai Express will have a good opening; it will pull in crowds of all kinds – from the single screen viewers to multiples audiences, and even those who are not necessarily fans of such films. A lot of this will be because of SRK and Deepika, but also because of the genre and style of film making. The energy and madness of CE will keep people interested. It will be foolish for audiences to look for logic and reasoning.

Cards Revealed: Nine of Pentacles, Chariot, Knight of Wands

BL: Will Rohit Shetty continue with his great track record at the box office?

SC: Ruled by number 5, Rohit Shetty is balanced and comfortable with his filmmaking. He understands what works for him and what would work for the audiences. These qualities play an important role in making his films successful. Chennai Express will be no different. It’s a movie that will maintain what he has achieved, and take him a step further in his career.

Tarot Tip: Rohit Shetty should look to re-visit some of his old ideas – there are some hidden story concepts that will propel his career much higher and further than before. 2014 will be the perfect year to do so.

Cards Revealed: Seven of Wands, Six of Cups, The Sun

Qubool Hai: What lies ahead for Asad, Zoya and Tanveer?

Our tarot card reader Shruti Chopra peeps into the future of the lead characters of the hit show

BollywoodLife (BL): Will Zoya come back to Asad’s house?

Shruti Chopra (SC): Zoya will certainly have the opportunity to return to Asad’s house. After an initial reluctance she will want to come back, because she will realise that the best way to understand what is happening is by being back in the house. At first she will feel confused, but her wisdom and her strong instincts will lead her on the right path, making her mentally stronger and ready to fight.

(Cards revealed: Four of Wands, Fool, Hermit and the Queen of Wands)

BL: Will Tanveer force Asad into marriage?

SC: Yes she will. She has created such a volatile situation so that she can enforce this on Asad. Tanveer is working on her plans quite aggressively and has all her ploys in place. She is a smart, manipulative woman and knows what further situations to create to make it difficult for Asad to be compelled to commit to her – he will not have much choice. In fact, because of this, Asad will feel it’s the natural course of action.

(Cards revealed: Ace of Wands, Hierophant, and High Priestess)

BL: Will Dilshad figure out Tanveer’s master plan?

SC: Dilshad’s cards are quite mixed, which makes me believe that although she will understand Tanveer’s plans, she will not know what to do. Her reactions will be too instant rather than thinking of a plan. This will cause some unnecessary arguments which will not go in Dilshad’s favour making her look wrong instead of Tanveer’s plans being brought to light. It is important for Dilshad to be more careful if she is to help Asad and Zoya.

(Cards revealed: Three and Nine of Wands, Wheel of Fortune and Five of Swords)

BL: Will Zoya see through Tanveer’s ploy?

SC: Zoya is balanced, sensible and aggressive. She will see right through Tanveer, but she won’t tell this to anyone because Zoya’s plan will not be just to remove Tanveer, but to also restore harmony in Asad’s home. For this to happen Zoya will play her own game; she will confuse and throw Tanveer off balance and create situations where Tanveer will start looking bad. Once this begins to happen, Zoya will be on an all out attack to win, and she will.

(Cards revealed: Five of Wands, Seven of Cups and Justice)
