What Did The Raja Saab Director Say About Prabhas-Led Film’s Delay?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Prabhas’ upcoming romantic-horror film The Raja Saab is creating waves – not for its release, but for the silence surrounding it. Fans are getting restless with no confirmed release date and months since the teaser dropped. Amidst growing speculation, director Maruthi finally broke his silence, offering an update on post-production and appealing to fans to stay patient.

The film, backed by People Media Factory, has completed most of its shoot. However, the visual effects and patchwork remain in progress. Fans expecting a summer release are left wondering when they’ll see their favorite star on screen again.

Director Maruthi Opens Up About Prabhas’ The Raja Saab

After visiting Tirupathi, Srikalahasti, and other temples, director Maruthi addressed the growing buzz around the delay of The Raja Saab. Taking to his Twitter account, one user wrote: “Take Your...

In a candid chat with seasoned actor Anupam Kher, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about a more personal aspect of himself that not many get to witness. While the ‘King of Bollywood’ is celebrated for his charisma, humor, and commanding presence on screen, he also has a sensitive side that lies beneath the surface of his fame.

During their discussion, Anupam Kher inquired whether Shah Rukh is easily hurt and what affects him the most. Shah Rukh was honest, expressing that disrespect really stings for him, especially since he has never insulted anyone throughout his life. He emphasized that he approaches everyone with respect and humility.

Anupam Kher suggested that it’s unrealistic to expect everyone to like him. However, Shah Rukh clarified that he doesn’t seek universal approval; rather, it’s disheartening when criticism feels personal. That, he admitted, truly hurts.

Exciting new film! Earlier, we revealed that noted actor Anupam Kher has taken on the mantle of director, and now, we have your first look at the film Tanvi The Great.

Releasing the first intriguing look, Anupam Kher wrote, “मैंने #तन्वीदग्रेट फ़िल्म बनाने का फ़ैसला आज से लगभग चार साल पहले लिया था! और फिर चार साल लगे इसे लिखकर बनाने में! अब मेरे इस ‘दिल के टुकड़े’ को आप सबके साथ शेयर करने का वक्त आ गया है! पर धीरे धीरे! और बहुत प्यार के साथ!

Anupam Kher is widely regarded among the finest actors of Indian cinema. Known for his wide ranges of performances in Bollywood over the years, Kher has also gone on to be a part of many International films. These include Bend it Like Beckham (2001), Lust, Caution (2007), Hotel Mumbai (2019), and most memorably Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook (2012).

It was a romantic comedy-drama film directed by David O. Russell and featured a stellar cast alongside Kher. It was led by Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, and the legendary Robert De Niro played a supporting role. While many remember Silver Linings Playbook for its stellar cast and compelling performances, there’s an untold story from the film’s set, one that involved Kher standing his ground in front of acting giant like Robert De Niro. For Kher, it wasn’t about fame or screen time, it was about dignity.

Subhash K Jha, in another great installment of This Day That Year, revisits the Abhinay Deo directed Game as the murder-mystery clocks 14 Years.

Credit must go to director Abhinay Deo and writer Althea Delmas Kaushal for crafting a jigsaw that would have made Agatha Christie smile. It wouldn’t be incorrect to say they don’t make movies like this anymore. Stylishly crafted, cunning in plot, and nubile in its narrative thrust, Game is one of the most aesthetically mounted Hindi films in recent times. Huge efforts and resources have gone into shooting the murder mystery in places where intrigue seems infinite, escape seems undesirable, and redemption appears as distant as the sound of the waves splashing against rocks that have centuries of stories to tell.

Esha Deol has been garnering praise for her role in the recently released Tumko Meri Kasam directed by Vikram Bhatt. In fact, there should have been more of her in the excellent film. The actress talks with Subhash K Jha about her homecoming to the big screen, working on Tumko Meri Kasam, her life off camera, and what’s coming next!

What made you say yes to Tumko Meri Kasam?

Tumko Meri Kasam, overall, for me, had more green tick marks to say yes to the project. As, you know, it’s very important who’s making it, who’s presenting it, and it was none other than Mahesh Bhatt sahib and the director Vikram Bhatt. I have worked with him earlier in a film called Ankahi, and having the opportunity to work with him again was like, for me, you know, I really, really loved working under Vikram’s...

Arbaaz Khan Once Revealed He & Salman Khan Were Embarrassed With A very Drunk Mahesh Bhatt ( Photo Credit – Instagram; Facebook )

Mahesh Bhatt is an eminent personality in the film industry known for his outspoken views and certain controversies. Bhatt’s movies are a little unconventional and are known for pushing boundaries with themes of love, loss, and social issues. He has also battled alcoholism, which once caused an embarrassing situation for Arbaaz Khan and his big brother Salman Khan. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Since Arbaaz and Salman are sons of the legendary screenwriter Salim Khan, they have been seeing people in showbiz for a long time. Bhatt was the son of filmmaker Nanabhai Bhatt and Shirin Mohammad Ali. His breakthrough movie was Arth, which is semi-autobiographical based on his extramarital affair with actress Parveen Babi. Bhatt’s Saaransh, starring Anupam Kher, was India’s official entry for the Academy Awards.

Subhash K Jha talks with director Vishwas Paandya on the one where Anupam Kher- Manish Paul play a family of contract killers in his debut film Baa Baa Black Sheep, which released in 2018.

Debutant director Vishwas Paandya chose a very unusual comedic subject for his first film Baa Baa Black Sheep.

“It’s the story of a contract killer masquerading as a cashew nut seller, played by Anupam Kher, who must now reveal the family business to his son, played by Manish Paul, to carry the bloody legacy forward. The humorous pandemonium that ensues forms the crux of the plot,” says Vishwas, whose father, Jayendra Pandya, was a well-known producer in the 1970s associated with renowned filmmakers like Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

“The world I created in Baa Baa Black Sheep is far removed from the cinema my father was associated with. I grew up on everything from David Dhawan to Guy Ritchie,...

One of the films on many a fans’ “I must see this” lists is Anurag Basu’s modern romance anthology Metro… इन दिनों (Metro…In Dino)!

Featuring the incredible talents of Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Anupam Kher, the bittersweet modern rom-com is set to hit the big screen on July 4th!

Basu, before the shoot began, said, “Metro…In Dino is a tale of the people and for the people. The storyline is very fresh and relevant and I look forward to collaborating with amazing artists who bring that essence of contemporary aura with them.”

The film is what is now...

Tumko Meri Kasam

Starring Anupam Kher, Adah Sharma, Esha Deol, Ishwak Singh, Durgesh Kumar

Directed by Vikram Bhatt

There is a redemptive quality to this bio-pic. A doctor who incepted many dreams of fertility for wailing wombs is given a film all to his own. And that’s reason enough for the lately-fallen Vikram Bhatt to pull up his socks and switch from horror to healing.

Not that Tumko Meri Kasam is a grand masterpiece, far from it. Some portions in the first half are so clunky that I feared for the well-being of the end product. However, Bhatt seems to embrace his mellow route responsibly. Vikram Bhatt not only takes up a subject that is true life and potentially inspiring, but he also suffuses the narrative with ample evidence of his own healing process.

The narrative goes back and forth in time with seamless swiftness. Although the playing time is almost three hours,...

Is Pawan Kalyan taking an anti-Hindi stand? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Jana Sena Party chief, Pawan Kalyan, raised concerns over the state’s opposition to Hindi, pointing out the irony that Tamil films are regularly dubbed in Hindi and released for North Indian audiences.

His remarks have triggered intense debates across the film industry and political circles.

Pawan Kalyan Points Out A ‘Double Standard

During the Jana Sena Party’s 12th foundation day event in Pithapuram, Kalyan questioned the rationale behind opposing Hindi while simultaneously seeking financial gains from Hindi-speaking regions through dubbed films.He remarked, “When we speak, they accuse us of insulting Sanskrit. They claim Hindi is being forced upon the South. But aren’t all Indian languages part of our culture?”

Kalyan further elaborated on the economic aspect, noting that Tamil Nadu benefits from the revenue generated by Hindi-dubbed films in states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh.

Anthony Maras’ debut feature film cannot be described as anything other than a masterclass in tension; Hotel Mumbai creates an atmosphere so pronounced that we feel like we are in the hotel as well. Based on the real Mumbai terrorist attacks in 2008, the thriller hones in on the experience of the hotel guests and staff members as they creep along hallways and barricaded lounges to remain alive for as long as possible under the threat of the terrorists' rifles. Dev Patel, Anupam Kher, Armie Hammer, Nazanin Bodiari, Jason Isaacs, and Apple Cider Vinegar's Tilda Cobham-Hervey make up the main cast of fictional characters to flesh out the devastating story told in Hotel Mumbai. Our nerves are putty in the cast and crew's hands, giving us an infinitesimal taste of what the real-life victims went through.

Subhash K Jha revisits the drama Dirty Politics, which features Om Puri, Mallika Sherawat, Anupam Kher, Jackie Shroff, Naseeruddin Shah, and more as it completes 10 years.

In Dirty Politics, producer-director K C Bokadia’s dirty look at the filth in Indian politics is hopelessly outdated. This is the murky Machiavellian world of Prakash Jha’s politicians stuck in a time warp. Denuded of all intellectual sensibility. It harks back to the 1970s when netajis in our films were so caricatural they belonged to cartoons in vernacular newspapers.

Om Puri plays the lecherous politician with lip-smacking relish, like a diabetic man whose wife is away to her maike while he gorges on forbidden junk food.

This is junk food for the audience that believes cinema is about seductive heroines, lascivious villains, loud, over-punctuated background music, camera angles, and cinematography that seems to adhere to the gimmicky treatment, like an annoying, sniveling...

The period detailing of the 1980s—the cars, hotel lobbies, clothes, hairstyles, and most importantly, the attitude to wealth acquisition—all add a lustre of underscored believability to the proceedings.

Morality is a prime casualty in the parable.

Triptii Dimri Aashiqui 3 Exit (Photo Credit – Twitter/Instagram)

It was reported that Triptii Dimri would no longer be a part of Aashiqui 3, starring Kartik Aaryan. Rumours began to spread on social media. People said Triptii was removed from the film because she had become “too exposed.” They said the role required the female lead to have “purity in demeanour.” It was also suggested that her bold image in Animal made it hard for her to fit in Aashiqui 3.

Director Anurag Basu denied these rumours. He spoke to Hindustan Times and said, “Image was not the reason. I am the last person to judge an actor based on the other characters they have played on screen. Aashiqui was not even the story anymore… I don’t know the source of these stories which came out.”

Anurag explained further, “The most important thing is dates. Triptii is shooting for a film with Vishal Bhardwaj.

The Kangana Ranaut starrer political biographical drama Emergency has been released today (January 17). The movie not only stars the actress as the former Indian Prime Minister Of India, Indira Gandhi but has also been helmed by her. Let us look at what the netizens have been saying for the movie on X.

Emergency Reviews On X

One of the netizens gave 4.5 stars out of 5 to the film and stated, “After a long time, saw a good biopic. The film completely gives respect to Indira Gandhi. It depicts her sacrifice and mistakes, also portraying her as a strong leader. Kangana Ranaut is exceptional.”

A user added, “She does not just play a political icon but becomes Indira Gandhi. Whether its in the heated political confrontations or the quiet moments of reflection. Ranaut’s portrayal in Emergency is both chilling and empathetic making it the emotional spine of the film.

Bollywood Mascot: Actress Kangana Ranaut steps into the shoes of one of India’s most controversial leaders, Indira Gandhi, in her latest directorial venture, Emergency. Set against the backdrop of the Emergency period in India from 1975 to 1977, the film ambitiously tackles a politically and emotionally charged chapter of Indian history. While Ranaut delivers an outstanding performance, the film’s execution falls short in presenting a cohesive narrative.

The Plot

Emergency chronicles the events that transpired during the 21-month period when then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency in India. The film explores the political maneuvers, personal struggles, and societal impact of this decision, presenting Gandhi as both a powerful leader and a vulnerable individual. The story attempts to delve into the complexities of leadership during a time of crisis while highlighting the repercussions of autocratic governance.

Though the film is titled Emergency, based on the darkest chapter in Free India and the biggest and mammoth blunder done by Indira Gandhi, it is no less than a biopic (that genre which flopped right and left last year!) as it details her life from childhood till her death, seven years after she lifted the emergency.

Surprisingly for Kangana Ranaut, an actor-director whose political ideology and party affiliations are polar opposites to Indira Gandhi,...
