With
Fashion
resulting
in
mega
bucks
at
the
end
of
an
extended
first
week
and
marching
on
a
positive
note
in
the
second
weekend
too,
Madhur
Bhandarkar
is
finally
relaxing.
After
a
year
of
non-stop
working
on
the
film,
schedule
hassles,
early
release
of
the
film,
competition
with
Golmaal
Returns
and
sleepless
nights,
Madhur
Bhandarkar
finally
saw
his
labour
of
love,
Fashion,
turning
out
to
be
the
biggest
money
spinner
of
his
career
so
far.
In
fact,
the
first
week
collections
of
Fashion
are
higher
than
total
collections
of
his
biggest
earner
till
date,
Corporate,
which
pretty
much
tells
the
tale.
Now
before
starting
work
on
his
next
project,
he
decided
to
visit
'Mata
Ka
Darbar'
in
Vaishno
Devi.
"I
am
thankful
to
God.
He
has
always
been
kind
to
me.
Ab
itna
to
banta
hai
ki
picture
ki
success
ke
baad
main
darshan
ke
liye
zaroor
jaaon
(Now
after
the
film's
success,
the
least
I
can
do
is
to
go
and
take
God's
blessings)",
said
Madhur
Bhandarkar
before
heading
for
Vaishno
Devi.
His
wife
Renu
too
accompanied
him
for
Vaishno
Devi.
Before
leaving
for
Vaishno
Devi,
Madhur
Bhandarkar
also
made
it
a
point
to
host
the
success
party
of
Fashion
in
New
Delhi
on
Saturday
night.
The
party
wasn't
meant
to
be
yet
another
filmy
affair
but
was
attended
by
the
usual
Page
3
attendees
of
the
Delhi
party
circle.
Madhur
was
accompanied
by
wife
Renu
who
acted
as
a
perfect
host
while
filmmaker
Ashok
Pandit
too
accompanied
him
for
the
event.
"Once
I
come
back
to
Mumbai,
it
would
be
business
as
usual.
I
have
to
now
see
how
far
Fashion
goes
from
here.
The
film
has
done
excellently
well
in
its
first
week
and
I
am
closely
watching
second
week
collections
now.
Since
it
has
been
produced
by
me
as
well
(along
with
UTV),
it
is
quite
special.
Exhibitors
have
kept
their
faith
in
the
project
by
retaining
a
very
good
number
of
shows
in
the
second
week
as
well.
Although
a
few
people
thought
that
length
of
the
film
was
an
issue,
that
didn't
seem
to
be
a
problem
with
audience
or
exhibitors.
I
am
glad
the
film
has
been
accepted
the
way
I
had
envisaged," signs
off
Madhur.
