Big B/AB - A brand to reckon with

Has the coming together of Big B and son AB become a brand?

Looking at the box office outcome of the three films where they have acted together, it certainly seems to the case. Their first time coming together in 'Bunty Aur Babli' last year created a storm and brought the movie to the second biggest hit of the year after 'No Entry'. Immense curiosity and hype about the film reached a turning point when they were actually cast as father and son in Ram Gopal Verma's homage to 'Godfather' - 'Sarkar'! The 'chemistry', if one can call it that way, was phenomenal to say the least in 'Sarkar'.

With two successes in hand, it was but natural to see more of the pairing in the coming months. Karan Johar jumped on the very idea of it and cast the two together in 'Kabhi Alvida Ne Kehna'. No wonder the story of a party-lover boy with an equally colorful father to boast was a draw that none could resist.

Since there are all indications that KANK would turn out to be yet another BIG success story of 2006, it marks the hat-trick of winners for the father-son duo hence establishing them as the MOST reliable brand!
