Crazy Rich Asians' hoopla elicits mixed feelings in Asia '

The craze for "Crazy Rich Asians" is hitting Asia, with a premiere in Singapore followed by openings in several neighbouring countries later this week. Much of the movie was set in this wealthy city state. The red carpet premiere yesterday for the over-the-top romantic comedy was expected to draw an enthusiastic crowd after its box-office bonanza in the U.S. The film directed by John M. Chu was adapted from Singaporean author Kevin Kwan's best-selling novel of the same name. It follows Chinese-American Rachel Chu as she travels with her boyfriend Nick Young to Singapore to meet his family and discovers they are ultra-wealthy. But critics say its satirical portrayal of an uber rich family in the wealthy city state misses a chance to showcase the city's ethnic diversity.

They followed it up with the comedy "Yamla Pagla Deewana" in 2011, which was a huge hit but its sequel did not do well at the box office. "'Apne' had made people cry so I told someone that next time I'll make you laugh. We didn't even have a script or anything ready then. We made 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' one. But there's this 'beemari' of franchise and sequel. We don't understand business," Dharmendra told PTI. "We had to make a sequel but it was taking time, things were not falling into place and then even the screenplay wasn't good. I knew while doing the film that it's rubbish and had told the crew that I'm not enjoying shooting it. One knows whether it's ...
