Jannat has sent cash registers ringing stunning its producers, director, and actors.

It is the best performance by a movie ever for producer, Vishesh films and lead actor, Emraan Hashmi.

Emraan Hashmi seemed to have perfected the art of playing a ”’hero with a slightly mean streak” on the silver screen with his portrayals in films like ‘Aashiq Banaya Apne’, ‘Murder’, ‘Gangster’, ‘Chocolate’, ‘Good Boy Bad Boy’ and ‘Aksar’

But with Jannat in which he plays a youth torn between vicious ambition and a good life with a good woman, he has turned tables. It has done what his previous movies could not-set cash registers ringing.

It is also a perfect debut for director Kunal Deshmukh and actress Sonal Chauhan.

In Jannat, Emraan plays a middle class lad obsessed with Cricket match fixing and how he turns a new leaf when he meets and falls in love with a girl played by Sonal Chuahan This story is, rocking the box office at home and abroad. The actor suddenly finds himself being catapulted into the big league

Jannat ‘s success comes at a time when biggy movies like Yash Raj’s Tashan and Amithabh Bachchan’s Bhootnath have crashed at the box office. A small movie like Jannat has garnered accolades amidst the IPL frenzy.

Trade sources say that ‘Jannat‘ has taken an opening, which is at par with that of this year’s biggest success ‘Race’ and has also matched the records set by ‘Welcome’.
