Not bad if Shabd stays #2 at the box office.

It's releasing same day as Black. So, may expect Shabd to be #2 at the BO in the opening week.
It's releasing in month #2 of the Year. (Release date is mentioned as Feb 4 thast's Week #1, but may be or should be postponed to Week #2.)

Producers will be happy if it's Hit #2 of the Year. (It can't be flop #2 of the Year as 2005 has already seen lots of flops.)
Also if it's #2 hit for the whole Year 2005.

What else is #2 for Shabd:

Shabd: The Power of Two

By IndiaFM

True it takes two to tango. But two is a company and can do a lot more than just tango. Two denotes plurality, second chance, strength and second coming. No.. we are not getting into the game of numerology, just that the film SHABD has a lot of “TWO'S & SECONDS” about it and we wanted to share them. Confused? Read on…

After Tanuja Chandra's Dushman, this is Sanjay Dutt's second film with a woman director. Shabd is directed by Leena Yadav.


It is Sanjay's second film with Pritish Nandy Communications, the first being Kaante.


After Bride and Prejudice, this is Ash's second film with a woman director.


Also this is the second film where both Aishwarya and Sanjay have been cast together, the first being Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin.


Shabd is the second Hindi film to be shot with a super 35 camera besides Musafir.


Shabd is cinematographer Aseem Bajaj's second film with PNC, the first being Chameli.


Also Shabd revolves around Aishwarya and two guys in her life.

Aishwarya dares to bare in 'Shabd'

MUMBAI: Aishwarya Rai has dared to bare in the upcoming film "Shabd", the promos of which are enough to scare anyone.

She has done something that puts Mallika Sherawat's Murder to shame.

It's probably her tactic to grab eyeballs, but one sees it as a classic case of double standards.

Rai has indulged in something she once accused other actresses of, including Bipasha Basu.

Other mainstream heroines are also guilty of such hypocrisy. All the actresses who termed Mallika Sherawat and Neha Dhupia sleazy are showing skin today.
