After the clash of Akshay Kumar's Gold and John Abraham's Satyameva Jayate last week, we are not done with the box office skirmishes yet. For this week, we will be having two more Hindi movies competing with each other at the box office for that big share of the pie - Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi and Genius. Both belong to different genres and offer different content, so it is interesting to see how they will fare against each other.
Of course, it is Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi who has the edge over its competitor. It is a sequel to the sleeper hit of 2016, Happy Bhaag Jaayegi. The star cast of the film is bigger with Sonakshi Sinha taking the lead and Diana Penty, Ali Fazal, Jimmy Sheirgill and Piyush Mishra. Mudassar Aziz is also returning as the director. Jassie Gill is playing the male lead. The promos have struck a chord with the audience. Comedy films, with a star-studded cast, have better success with the audience than most of the genres.

Talking about Genius, it is a talking point for being the launchpad of Utkarsh Sharma, the son of director Anil Sharma, who is helming the film. Newcomer Ishita Chauhan is the female lead. The biggest USP of the film is Nawazuddin Siddiqui who is playing the main antagonist. Looking back at his scene-stealing negative turn in Salman Khan's Kick, there are humongous expectations from Nawaz to do an encore, especially considering he is basking in the glory of the success of Netflix's Sacred Games. Mithun Chakraborty and Ayesha Jhulka are also a part of the cast.
