The cast and crew of the movie Bachna Ae Haseeno came together to celebrate the good showing of the movie at the box office.

“We all are really happy to receive such response from our audience. The hard work has really paid off,” said the film’s director Siddharth Raj Anand on Thursday. Barely six days after its release the cast and crew of the film are in a celebratory mood and are ready to thank the audience

The team made its first media appearance at the Yash Raj Studio here to celebrate the initial success of the movie after its release last week. Besides Anand, actors Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone and Hiten Paintal, and dialogue writer and lyricist Anvita Dutt Gupta were present during the event.

“I have fathers coming up to me and saying that their sons and daughters should watch the film,” says director Siddharth Anand. This is actor Ranbir Kapoor’s first hit after his debut film Saawariya bombed at the box-office.

“There are so many people to thank, an entire thank you speech is going on in my mind, but now is not the time and place,” says Ranbir Kapoor. He said the movie has performed to “our expectations and its time to celebrate its success. We have proved ourselves by connecting with the audiences”.

“Though ratings given by trade analysts and media count, the verdict given by the audience is more important. Their appreciation motivates us to come up with new package of innovative ideas,” said Anand.

After four flops last year and a not so great start this year with Tashan and Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic failing to impress the audience, this is really a high moment for Yash Raj Films.
