Ajay Devgn is one of the few superstars who has the strangest of the dark humor. In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration when one claims he is the God of dark humor. That is probably the reason his comedy films like Golmaal, Bol Bachchan, and others have been loved by audiences.

The funniest part of the Shaitaan actor’s humor is her delivery of punches, which he generally throws with a blank and straight face. Even in real life, his interviews turn the funniest when he starts cracking jokes.

Remember when he told Karan Johar about being his enemy, or he took digs at Kajol for being a tough-to-handle wife. This habit often reaches his schedule on set. However, once upon a time, his stubbornness to not dance in a dance number was hilarious.

Digital platforms are overflowing with them, and you would literally be spoilt for choice selecting some really enjoyable stuff that has come out of Bollywood over the decades.

Ajay Devgn, who recently completed 25 years in film industry, has got another reason to celebrate as his most ambitious project ‘Shivaay’ has now entered the coveted Inr 100 crore club at the box office. The movie, which was released during Diwali week on October 28, received a good response from the audiences and crossed Inr 50 crore mark in just five days of the release. ‘Shivaay’ which was riding high on its breath-taking locations, high-octane action sequences and VFX, lagged slightly behind in terms of box office numbers to Karan Johar's romantic emotional drama ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ which released on the same day. However, the clash didn't affect the overall business of the film as people preferred to watch both movies in theatres during Diwali weekend. While ‘Shivaay’ ruled the single screens, Adhm dominated the multiplexes. ‘Shivaay’ has now become Ajay Devgn's sixth movie to cross Inr 100 crore mark after...

The two-time National Award-winning film actor is today among Bollywood’s most bankable box office stars. It isn’t his crowd-pulling prowess alone that defines him. His approach to his star status sets him apart from the crowd.

Primarily, his fans get to see Devgn only on the big screen. As his public appearances are rare, the seasoned actor lets his films do the talking for him.

Coach Mika was the first to hit the buzzer followed by coaches Shaan, Sunidhi and Hr. All four coaches praised Snighdajit’s performance and then started their comic requests for him to join their team. Coach Hr even sang a popular Bengali phrase as Snighdajit is Bengali! After much cajoling, Snighdajit chose to be in team Shaan.

The second contestant was Garima Khiste.

Ajay Devgn had two flops in 2013: Himmatwala and Satyagraha

Ajay Devgn was soaring high recently with 100 crore hits like Golmaal 3, Bol Bachchan and Singham. But in 2013, his acting career came crashing down with both his film releases flopping at box office. Himmatwala which was touted to be a big hit by the director of the film Sajid Khan Read More...

Chomu (Rajasthan), Oct 12: A fortified palace whose history stretches over 300 years in this Rajasthan town is fast turning into a Bollywood destination for filmmakers eager to showcase the rich splendour of a bygone era.

Be it "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" in which Vidya Balan played with aplomb a woman with a split personality or "Bol Bachchan" that showed the irrepressible Abhishek Bachchan at his cheeky best, both were shot in the Chomu Fort that has now been converted into a heritage hotel.

"Chomu fortified palace has a history that goes back over 300 years and now Bollywood is keen to shoot here," Subhasis Banerjee, general manager of Chomu Palace, told Ians.

Chennai Express has only been in theatres for about 2 weeks and it’s become very evident of just how well the film is doing. The film starring Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan crossed the Rs. 200 crore mark quite quickly and has recorded crossing the Rs. 100 crore mark the fastest.

Back in 2009 3 Idiots which was directed by Rajkumar Hirani, broke the box office records having the highest grossing film. Over the past 4 years no film has been able to pass the iconic film, until now of course. Chennai Express has topped 3 Idiots at the box office breaking the unstoppable record.

Rohit Shetty has become very popular and successful being known as the movie king. All of his latest which includes Singham, Golmaal 3 and Bol Bachchan are all part of the Rs. 100 crore club. Taran Adarsh who is a well-known film trade analyst has even tweeted about Chennai Express, stating...

Mumbai, Aug 20: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan says that the director Rohit Shetty-actor Ajay Devgn pair, who have created several hits together, is one of its kind.

"Rohit and Ajay have a very beautiful jodi. I don't think anything like this can be made. A franchise of three films ('Golmaal' series) that too so successful. I think it's a record of sorts," Srk, who worked with Shetty in superhit "Chennai Express", said here.

"The kind of franchise 'Golmaal' is, it is the first of its kind in our country. The best thing is everyone.

Yes, there was a winner in the heart-melting brother-sister camaraderie between Farhan Akhtar and Divya Dutta in "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag"; the playful yet protective bond between Sushant Singh Rajput and Amrita Puri in "Kai Po Che!"; the portrayal of the over-protective brothers in "Housefull" and "Bol Bachchan"; and the love-hate bond between Genelia D'Souza and Prateik in "Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na".

But as film historian S.M.M. Ausaja put it: "It's understated in the plots, unlike in the pretty 1990s."
