After the failure of Thugs Of Hindostan, Aamir was seen in Laal Singh Chaddha. Released in 2022, the film was indulged in a clash with Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan, but since there was little to no buzz on the ground level, the biggie was a losing affair right from the opening day and eventually, due to negative word-of-mouth,...

Aamir Khan’s Box Office Journey Has Been Phenomenal Over The Years (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Aamir Khan is an actor par excellence. Moreover, he is a businessman and strategist beyond belief. He was the first one to find an opportunity for Bollywood films in China, and voila, once he opened the gates, there was no looking back. The journey that started from Dangal stayed back for a number of films.
Movies like Hindi Medium, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, and Secret Superstar might not have churned out great numbers in India, but they performed like beasts at the Chinese box office. And only one man needs to be thanked for the same.
Aamir Khan took a sabbatical after his last release. Laal Singh Chaddha tanked at the box office and did not perform as he had expected. While he is gearing up for his next film titled Sitaare Zameen Par, here...

Highest Grossing Bollywood Films In Pakistan (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)
It was a series of surprises at the box office when India’s favorite subject, the India Vs Pakistan war, started witnessing a decline. Two superstar releases – Fighter and Tiger 3 were based on the rivalry of the two nations and their armies, and while in a previous decade, this would have been enough to rake moolahs at the box office, both the films seemingly point at the audience’s disinterest in the subject.
However, the topic worked in Gadar 2‘s favor, but it was a common man fighting in Pakistan rather than the armies, and probably that worked. This might be just an observation. However, these films were strongly rejected by not only Pakistan but also many Gulf countries.
As the audiences have rejected the India Vs Pakistan rivalry theme at a go, we decided to have a...

When Fatima Sana Shaikh Signed Thugs Of Hindostan For Almost Free (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)
Fatima Sana Shaikh is one of the few actresses who was launched with a bang but then was buried under the extraordinary expectations built after their performance in their debut films. While she made a brilliant debut with Aamir Khan’s Dangal in 2016 she had to struggle hard for her second film.
When Aamir Khan moved to Thugs of Hindostan from Dangal, rumors were rife that he tried hard to pitch his on-screen daughter Fatima in the film. However, at that time, Deepika Padukone was a part of the film.
Dp initially joined the film opposite Hrithik Roshan, who was the original choice for the Thugs Of Hindostan. But since Hrithik demanded a lot of changes in the script, he was unceremoniously dropped from the film, and Aamir was very keen to come on board immediately.

Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan – the most powerful Khan trio have been ruling the industry since the time they made their respective debuts. However, while the three stars are now box office kings, the three of them had their share of ups and downs as well.
While it is Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback year in 2023, Aamir Khan seems to have taken a sabbatical and reflected after continuous underwhelming films – Thugs of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha. Salman Khan, on the other hand, is taking chances with films like Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3.

Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan have been making people go Omfg with their chemistry in Fighter, and this raised the only obvious question no one had asked before: Why didn’t someone cast them together? Well, it took Bollywood 16 years and a Siddharth Anand to do that job? Like really?
Well, no, that is not the entire truth. After Deepika Padukone made her grand debut with Om Shanti Om in 2007, it took her quite some time to reach the top, and then, one day, she turned a Bhansali muse, and the world saw her in a different light.

It was claimed that the opening response of ‘Brahmastra: Part 1 – Shiva’ suffered because of the boycott call. The figures given out, however, are the kind that contradict the boycott claims. Does giving out inflated figures for any film save the film or the maker’s prestige? Most of all, can such figures convince movie lovers that they thronged the cinemas when they had not!
The trend of manipulating collection figures is age-old, but at that time it did not concern or involve people. It was done to sell the unreleased circuits of a film. This was when a film remained unsold in some circuits.
The producer would go ahead and release it in one major circuit, say Delhi-up and, when the week’s run was over, the inflated figures were issued to the trade papers so that other distributors from the unsold territories would get attracted. It was a manipulation...

He talks about his role and what it was to share screen space with Ranbir Kapoor and what he learned from him during the shoot.
He said: “I play one of Ranbir’s friends in the film. I, Ranbir, and one more guy are 3 orphans who grew up together in a Mumbai orphanage and share a tight bond. We take up gigs like underground parties, weddings, festivals, etc. where Ranbir, who’s a DJ, plays music and we both hit the lights, and other stuff.”

Despite the star wattage of A-listers Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar, the underwhelming box office performance of “Forrest Gump” adaptation “Laal Singh Chaddha” and “Raksha Bandhan,” respectively, have set the alarm bells ringing in Bollywood.
Both films released on Aug. 11. The date was tailor-made for “Raksha Bandhan,” a film about brother-sister relationships, as it coincided with the festival of Raksha Bandhan, which celebrates siblinghood. Headlined by Kumar, one of India’s most bankable stars, the film, which was made on a budget of approximately 9 million, has collected some 6 million in a week of release, according to industry estimates.
The numbers are starker for “Laal Singh Chaddha.” Khan headlined three of India’s all-time box office champions, including No. 1 “Dangal” (311 million); No. 6 “Secret Superstar” (154 million), by “Laal Singh Chaddha” director Advait Chandan; and No. 7 “Pk” (140 million). However, his last release, 2018’s “Thugs of Hindostan,” also underperformed.

After disaster struck the two Independence Day long weekend releases — Aamir Khan’s long-awaited, mega-hyped ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ and the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Raksha Bandhan’ — a wag commented that Bollywood has become like the Congress: it has only its past to live on and stares at a dim future, unless a miracle happens.
For Aamir, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ has been his worst commercially since his 2000 film ‘Mela’, despite getting a five-day holiday weekend, starting with Raksha Bandhan on August 11 and ending with Independence Day. And it has been his second successive flop after the ‘Thugs of Hindostan’, which bombed despite the additional presence of Amitabh Bachchan.
For Akshay Kumar, ‘Raksha Bandhan’ has been his third successive dud — starting with ‘Bachchan Pandey’, which got wiped out by ‘The Kashmir Files’, and ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, despite the film being endorsed by the Bjp top brass and made tax-free in three states.

Fremantle has won a bidding war for exclusive rights to produce a high-end documentary about Raffaella Carrà, the iconic Italian singer, actor, dancer and TV host who was a pop culture sensation across Europe and Latin America.
Carrà, who died in July at 78, rose to fame in Italy as a singer and dancer during the 1970’s as co-host of the variety show “Canzonissima,” where she plugged her original songs directly into its dance and music numbers, including the show’s opening credits. On the show she famously wore a risquè outfit that marked the first time a woman dared to expose her midriff on TV in Italy, sparking an uproar form the Vatican and sending the ratings soaring. But Carrà was never one of the many women whose bodies were exploited on Italian TV. On the contrary, she became a symbol of female empowerment.

Drake‘s “Certified Lover Boy” was released on Friday, September 3, after he delayed it for months due to injury. And with it comes a new music video for “Way 2 Sexy,” one of the sprawling 21 tracks from the album, which clocks in at just over 86 minutes in length. The tongue-in-cheek video features Future and Young Thug. Watch it above.
The song samples Right Said Fred‘s 1991 single “I’m Too Sexy,” and the video opens with an ’80s-style workout video — cue the pelvic thrusts! Drake also gets swole “Popeye”-style in an animated segment, shows up on romance novel covers, walks shirtless on the beach in a fat suit, and shows off his guns (literal and figurative) in “Drambo: Thirst Blood.” He and his collaborators even reference Boyz II Men‘s “Water Runs Dry” video, and then he interrupts the song for a parody ad break for a new fragrance: “Wet” by Drake.

Chris Tucker, Adrien Brody and Paul Haggis were on hand Saturday to give a huge high-tech finale to the fifth edition of the Jackie Chan Action Film Week. So too were Crystal Liu Yifei, star of Disney’s upcoming “Mulan,” and a bevy of top Chinese talent.
Moving the event from the fringes of the Shanghai festival in June, to a new date and spectacular outdoor venues provided by provincial town of Datong, some 200 miles East of Beijing in Shanxi Province, may have revitalized the Action Film Week. Upbeat organizers now talk of franchising the event to other countries.
If the opening on July 21 was reportedly relatively quiet, the closing ceremony was a razzamatazz of stunts, choreography and pyrotechnics with ambitions of matching an Olympic Games or World Cup opening.

The box office is witnessing wonders from fresh talents. But among the 'kings', some factors set Akshay Kumar apart as the real 'khiladi'. What makes Akshay's box office journey different from other Bollywood superstars is his consistency to hit silver screen with several movies a year and draw in the audience. According to Shibasish Sarkar of Reliance Entertainment, which will distribute Akshay's upcoming film "Sooryavanshi", it's the actor's "tremendous discipline, his lifestyle and rigour of keeping churning out three-four films a year" that make him a box office 'khiladi'.
"Of course, he has talent, understanding of the market and everything. But this would not have been possible without the discipline he maintains," Sarkar, Reliance Entertainment's Group CEO, told Ians.
For the production, exhibition and distribution sectors, the 51-year-old's films are a win-win all the way, says film and trade expert Girish Johar.
