RAAT GAYI... director defends 31st Dec release

RAAT GAYI BAAT GAYI releases on the last day of the year, 31st December. If this wasn't surprising enough, the fact is that the date also falls on a Thursday. Wait, there is more. There are two more films slated for release on the same day -ACCIDENT ON HILL ROAD and BOLO RAAM, hence adding on to the crowd. Moreover, there is this entire 3 IDIOTS euphoria which is expected to spill over well into the second week. With so much happening around the release of this Neha Dhupia, Rajat Kapoor and Vinay Pathak starrer, was it a justified decision to arrive on this day?CHECK OUT: RAAT GAYI BAAT GAYI Movie Preview"Yes, coming on 31st December is a very good decision", says director Saurabh Shukla who has earlier made MUDDA - THE ISSUE and CHEHRA, "I will give you two reasons for that. First and foremost the film is actually about a party. Since it would be party mood for all on 31st Dec and 1st January, the story in the film fits in perfectly well with real life too." He goes on to explain the second reason. "Those who may not catch it on 31st December night would want to do so on the next day since it's a holiday. And that's because after 31st December hangover, there are only two ways to fight it. One is to drink again and another is to actually go for a movie. This is why our suggestion is 'Why to drink again when you can have some good time in theaters while watching a movie?'
