Ranbir
Kapoor
is
elated
with
the
excellent
start
that
his
film,
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno
has
taken
at
the
window
and
also
with
the
fact
that
he
has
received
uniform
appreciation
for
his
role.
The
moderately
budgeted
(19-crore)
movie
has
netted
an
impressive
21-22
crores
in
its
first
week
from
India
and
grossed
$424,313
from
the
US.
And
that
in
the
wake
of
Singh
Is
Kinng
hysteria
and
a
strong
opposition
in
the
form
of
the
stellar
starcast
(Amitabh,
Salman
and
Priyanka)
God
Tussi
Great
Ho.
In
fact
we
have
to
agree
with
the
handsome
hero
about
the5
USPs
of
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno,
which
have
worked
in
a
large
way
towards
the
success
of
the
film.
As
per
Ranbir,
first
it's
the
story,
secondly,
Bipasha,
Deepika
and
Minissha,
then
the
director
Siddharth
Anand
followed
by
Yash
Raj
Films.
In
the
end
and
the
fifth
USP
to
be
precise
are
composers
Vishal-Shekhar.
When
queried
about
his
own
contribution,
the
teenage
heartthrob
rather
humbly
agrees
and
says
-
a
little
bit
of
me
too!
Well,
as
a
veteran
journalist
(who
has
seen
the
fates
of
many
star
sons
and
newcomers)
says,
''The
launch
pad
film
usually
succeeds
but
it's
the
second
film
that
is
a
test
of
character
and
popularity
of
a
new
star''.
So,
the
success
of
BAH
does
work
in
Ranbir's
favour
after
Saawariya's
commercial
failure.
