After
dabbling
with
some
intense
characters,
Saif
Ali
Khan
is
back
in
an
urban
avatar
for
Nitin
Kakkar's
rom-com
Jawaani
Jaaneman
which
also
stars
Tabu
and
marks
the
Bollywood
debut
of
Pooja
Bedi's
daughter
Alaya
F.
While
Saif's
previous
release
in
this
month,
Tanhaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior
continues
to
have
a
successful
run
in
cinema
halls,
let's
find
out
whether
Jawaani
Jaaneman
will
impress
the
audience
and
mint
big
numbers
at
the
box
office.
As
per
early
estimates,
the
Saif
Ali
Khan
starrer
is
expected
to
collect
around
Rs.
3.5
crore-Rs.
4.5
crore
on
its
first
day
of
release.
Trade
analyst
Girish
Johar
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Hindustan
Times,
"The
people
have
loved
the
trailer
and
it
has
gained
the
attention
of
the
youth.
The
makers
have
also
recreated
some
hit
old
songs,
which
got
a
good
response
from
the
music
lovers.
2020
has
been
very
good
for
Saif
after
Tanhaji.
Earlier
also,
he
has
been
appreciated
for
such
roles
(as
that
in
Jawaani
Jaaneman)
in
Cocktail
and
Love
Aaj
Kal.
The
film
is
targeting
metro
cities
and
the
youth
and
is
also
an
introduction
of
Alaya
F
in
Bollywood.
It
should
get
a
decent
start
at
Rs
3.5
crore
-
4.5
crore,
depending
on
word
of
mouth
and
how
it
performs
in
the
evening
on
Friday."
"With
Jawaani
Jaaneman,
Saif
Ali
Khan
is
doing
the
kind
of
film
in
which
he
excels.
His
films
Cocktail
and
Love
Aaj
Kal
which
had
him
playing
a
similar
character
did
well.
This
is
his
kind
of
film.
The
trailer
is
promising,
and
the
music
is
also
being
enjoyed
thoroughly.
It
has
Tabu
in
a
pivotal
role
and
marks
Pooja
Bedi's
daughter
Alaya's
Bollywood
debut.
So,
overall
it
looks
like
a
well-mounted
film," an
Indian
Express
report
quoted
Johar
as
saying.
However,
he
further
added
that
the
film
might
find
it
difficult
to
pull
in
the
masses
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"It
is
an
upmarket
commercial
entertainer.
Initially,
it
will
attract
the
youth
and
audience
of
metro
cities.
Then,
depending
on
word
of
mouth,
it
can
penetrate
accordingly."
Besides
this
film,
Himesh
Reshammiya's
Happy
Hardy
Heer
and
Malala
Yousafzai's
biopic
Gul
Makai
is
also
slated
to
hit
the
big
screens
on
January
31,
2020.
