Will Emraan Hashmi's Film Why Cheat India Beat Arshad Warsi's Fraud Saiyaan and Govinda's Rangeela Raja at the Box Office?

This week three new films will be arriving in theatres - Emraan Hashmi starrer Why Cheat India, Arshad Warsi's Fraud Saiyaan and lastly Govinda's film Rangeela Raja. All of them are slated to release on Friday, January 18. While Why Cheat India is based on the relevant subject of corruption in the education system, the other two films are of the same genre which is comedy. Since Emraan's film has been in the news because of the controversy around its title, it has managed to create good buzz and that will indeed help the film at the box office to a certain extent. Cheat India Teaser Video: Baddie Emraan Hashmi Takes into The World of Corrupt Education System.

Now coming to Fraud Saiyaan and Rangeela Raja, the former garnered a decent response from the audience when its trailer was released not too long ago. Also, apart from Arshad, the film stars the very talented Saurabh Shukla and hence there is some noise about the film in general which is good for it. Then there is Rangeela Raja which stars Govinda in a double role but the film has hardly generated any buzz in comparison to the other two releases. The film's trailer wasn't impressive at all as well. And therefore it seems that Why Cheat India and Fraud Saiyaan have much better chances of faring well at the box office than Rangeela Raja. Fraud Saiyaan Teaser: Arshad Warsi Is a Conman Who Marries Multiple Women In This Comedy - Watch Video.

We spoke to film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi regarding the same and he said, "Why Cheat India will do better, then Fraud Saiyaan and lastly Rangeela Raja. Why Cheat India is based on a relevant issue that we have all heard about like question papers leaking just before the exam and what not. Plus, Emraan is a popular actor and has delivered many hits in the past. Also, Cheat India is coming from the makers who have backed interesting films like Neerja and Tumhari Sulu. So going by the setup, Emraan starrer surely has an edge over the other two films."

"Fraud Saiyaan and Rangeela Raja also seem entertaining but Why Cheat India is the pick up of the lot." Rangeela Raja Trailer: Yet Another Film Where Govinda Embarrasses Himself And Our Sensibilities That Too in Double Role - Watch Video.

Apart from these three films, there are quite a few Hollywood releases as well but the most prominent one is Bruce Willis starrer Glass. Taking about its box office prospect, Rathi said, "Yes, Glass is releasing this week which is an M Night Shyamalan film but I don't really expect it to break the ceiling. It has a fairly limited release and that too in urban areas. Unless it's terrific, the film is going to do just okay."
