Violent clashes erupted in Nagpur, Maharashtra, on March 17, between Hindu and Muslim communities, leading to an indefinite curfew in parts of the city. The unrest began during a protest by Hindu nationalist groups demanding the demolition of the tomb of 17th-century Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The situation escalated following rumours that religious items, including the Quran, were burned by protesters. ​

The violence resulted in injuries to at least 34 police personnel and five civilians, with several houses and vehicles damaged. Authorities have arrested over 50 individuals in connection with the incidents.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis attributed the heightened tensions to the recent release of the Bollywood film Chhaava, which portrays the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, a Maratha king executed by Aurangzeb. Fadnavis stated that the film “reignited people’s emotions” against Aurangzeb, contributing to the unrest. He also suggested that the violence appeared “premeditated”, and that specific houses and establishments were targeted during the clashes.

India’s Zee Studios and Shakti Sagar Productions have unveiled a teaser for “Fateh,” marking Bollywood star Sonu Sood’s first venture into directing.

The film centers on an ex-special ops operative who investigates a cybercrime syndicate after a young woman falls victim to a scam. Sood, who also stars in the lead role, is joined by Jacqueline Fernandez (“Kill Em All 2”), Vijay Raaz (“Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3”) and Naseeruddin Shah (“Ic 814: The Kandahar Hijack”).

The production features action sequences coordinated by Hollywood technicians, including fight coordinator Federico Berte (“Cobra Kai”), fight choreographer Filip Ciprian Florian (“The Woman King”) and action director/stunt coordinator Lee Whittaker (“Captain Marvel”).

The teaser features Sood’s character on a “John Wick” style rampage with the body count ratcheting up.

Sood, known for his roles in “Dabangg,” “Happy New Year,” and “Kung Fu Yoga,” gained widespread recognition for his humanitarian work during the Covid-19 pandemic,...

The Akshay Kumar starrer 2022 period drama Samrat Prithviraj saw him step into the shoes of the legendary warrior king Prithviraj Chauhan who was known for his valor, courage, and sacrifice. However, mounted at a budget of between 150 crore to 300 crore, not only did this movie emerge as a major box office flop, adding to the actor’s other string of box office duds that year, but he was also criticized for an alleged lack of dedication in the performance. Here is taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting the box office performance of the movie.

Samrat Prithviraj Box Office Revisit

The Akshay Kumar starrer opened at 10.70 crore which was not up to the expectation. The first-weekend collection came to 39.40 crore. At the same time, the first-week collection of the movie came to 55.05 crore. The lifetime collection...

Manushi Chhillar’s journey from being a nobody to becoming Miss World and now, emerging as one of the promising stars of Bollywood is surely one for the books! But did you know her ambition wasn’t to be an actress but to be a doctor? Yes, the actress wanted to pursue Mbbs, but God had other plans for this beauty queen!

She not only became the face for an international brand Estée Lauder, but was flooded with opportunities to star in films.

Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’ Bade Miyan Chote Miyan have been trying to maintain a certain pace at the box office. However, the film has been on the radar since it was released on Eid, a festival that has been used to its maximum potential to churn out box office numbers by Salman Khan.

New Delhi, Feb 4 (Ians) The Indian diaspora spread all over the world has mostly stayed connected to its roots. And one of the institutions that keeps this connection alive is Indian cinema. These films could be in Hindi or in any of the South Indian languages.

The Indian film market is spread far and wide, but Indian films also have to conform to the local culture and sensibilities, mainly of the religious kind. We do not make films that are against any other country or its culture, but when it comes to religious sentiments, considering the mixed population we have, Indian films feature characters from different religious backgrounds. Yet, Indian films cannot always please all people.

Almost all countries exhibiting films have their own censorship bodies. It is also not uncommon for them to occasionally ban films from theatrical release. The reason could be a vulgarity, nudity or religious sentiments being hurt.

Looking at the first half of the year, January to June 2023, one would believe that the film industry has yet to come out of the Covid-19 lockdown effect. The films just don’t seem to work. Nor do the top-billing stars.Were it for the Covid-19 hangover, how does one explain the blockbuster success of ‘The Kashmir Files’ and ‘The Kerala Story’? How does one account for the success of ‘Pathaan’, ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar’,’Zara Hatkke Zara Bachke’, and the last year’s release ‘Drishyam 2’?

As against these successes, what explains the failure of such massively budgeted vehicles such as ‘Adipurush’, to cite the very recent example? Looks like the Hindi audience is not lured by films that are mainly made on computers with VFX!

MollywoodNayanthara and Prithviraj’s ‘Gold’, directed by Alphonse Puthren, was meant to be an Onam release, but got pushed by a week.Tnm StaffIn the past few weeks, multiple movie releases happened every weekend in Kerala’s theatres, in an effort it seemed to make up for the humongous delay for movies that had piled up during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, this week, even with Onam around the corner, there are no big star releases. Nayanthara and Prithviraj’s Gold, directed by Alphonse Puthren, was meant to be an Onam release, but got pushed by a week. Alphonse, who directed movies like Premam and Neram, tweeted that work on the movie has resulted in the delay and that the team hopes to make up for it when the film releases.

In the wake of mixed reviews on its release day, the makers of ‘Liger’ announced on Friday that the movie has grossed Rs 33.12 crore worldwide on Day One in all the languages.

That may be bigger than the opening-day collection of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, Bollywood’s biggest mainstream hit this year, which gained traction as the days went by. Trade news sites, however, are being cautious with their figures.

Bollymoviereviewz.com reports that worldwide, ‘Liger’ has grossed Rs 28.1 crore, including Rs 3.63 crore from America, and of this, the all-India share is Rs 19 crore.

That, again, is more than what ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, ‘Shamshera’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’ and ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ each made on their first day, but it is clear from all available figures that ‘Liger’ has done well only in the two Telugu-speaking states.

And still, it is the seventh-highest opener for a Telugu film (single-language or dubbed) this year, behind...

Hindi cinema of late seems to be in trouble as Bollywood’s big-ticket releases such as ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, ‘Shamshera’, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ and ‘Raksha Bandhan’ have failed to impress the audience.

Nevertheless, a motley bunch of films starring names such as Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn, Varun Dhawan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon are lined up for release in the coming months.

However, the million-dollar question looming over the furrowed brows of distributors is: Will these movies ensure the return of ‘achche din’ for Bollywood?

The first big film, which is slated to hit the screens is Ayan Mukerji’s trilogy ‘Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva’ starring newly wed couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt along with Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna. The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on September 9.

‘Brahmastra’ is a three-part film franchise and the beginning of India’s first original universe,...

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.

The teaser of the upcoming song ‘Tere Bajjon, featuring Bollywood actor Prateik Babbar and Punjabi actress Simi Chahal, was released on Tuesday. The song is about love, the one that can be felt and perceived differently.

Judging from the teaser, the song looks like an emotional rollercoaster with an appealing modern tale about relationships that don’t always transcend to the next level despite the existence of love.

The teaser shows Prateik and Simi’s chemistry, but with a heartfelt conclusion to the narrative of ‘To love is to let go.’

The love track has been crooned by playback singer Shreya Ghoshal. Jatinder Shah has taken the onus for composing the song and directing the video with popular lyricist Kumaar penning the lyrics.
