Akshay Kumar Had An Eid Release Before Bade Miyan Chote Miyan 17 Years Ago (Photo Credit –YouTube)
Despite not getting rave reviews, Akshay Kumar is still having a decent time at the box office with his latest release, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, also featuring Tiger Shroff. Akshay has been having a testing time at the box office for the last few years. He might have made a decent comeback with Omg 2, but it was more of a Pankaj Tripathi film. Akshay, meanwhile, has been struggling at the box office for a hit film.
Akshay Kumar’s last hit was in 2019 with Good Newwz. After that, there was a long dry spell. Sooryavanshi could not earn a hit tag in 2021; meanwhile, all his releases in 2022 were disastrous. Even 2023 had Selfiee and Mission Raniganj.
Akshay’s last festival release was Ram Setu on Diwali 2023, which did not work for him at all.

Ajay Devgn’s leading ladies: that Southern twist. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Is it due to the fact that his first-ever co-star was Madhoo, a South Indian but
Mumbai-based actress, in Phool Aur Kaante (they co-starred again in Diljale)? Whatever the reason, Ajay Devgn has a predilection for South Indian heroines! Let us also not forget Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, for whom Ajay, along with Salman Khan, was her breakthrough hero in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. They later also did Khakee and Raincoat together.
The past list also includes the North Indian actresses who started out down South —
Kajal Aggarwal (Singham), Ileana D’Cruz (Raid), who did 18 films down South before her Hindi debut, Tamannaah Bhatia (Himmatwala) and Rakul Preet Singh (De De Pyaar De). And of course we have had Rambha (Jung) and Asin(London Dreams, Bol Bachchan).

5 Projects By Abcl That Made Amitabh Bachchan Go Bankrupt (Picture Credit: IMDb)
Amitabh Bachchan currently has around 120 crore in his bank balance as his current savings, according to Jaya Bachchan’s recent affidavit. However, this made us recall the time when his bank balance and savings went to 0, and he went bankrupt. It all started in 1996 when the superstar started a company called Abcl.
Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited sought a loan of around 22 crore from Canara Bank to start his company. And against this huge loan, guess what was the guarantee? It was his very own abode, Prateeksha, that was priced at around 10+ crore in those days.
Abcl started functioning and planned huge projects. It was valued at 60 crore in 1996, according to a report in Business Insider, and Big B planned to take it to 1000 crore worth by the year 2000. While this projection was highly ambitious, so were his projects that were planned.

Akshay Kumar’s Comedy Franchise Box Office To Enter The 1000 Crore Total With Welcome 3 & Other Sequels? ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Akshay Kumar has been out of the number game for a long time. After Sooryavanshi, the actor, who was once considered the golden goose at the box office, had a disastrous year with a string of flops. He had been keeping low, and his films have failed to meet expectations.
But it seems like the actor is ready to change gears from his ever-favorite Deshbhakti mode to the tried and tested comedy role. Akshay reinvented himself at the box office with a string of comedy films in the 2000s, and the actor seems to go down the same route yet again.
As the third installment of Welcome, popularly called Welcome 3 and tentatively titled Welcome To Jungle, has started its journey, we tried researching the numbers Akshay Kumar has churned out with his comedy franchises.

Producing and releasing a medical/survival drama a year after the global pandemic ceased is a good call. This pandemic brought the world to a standstill, but at the same time, people were also going through chaotic times. Human beings changed their perspective about how life functions, and survival became their only goal. The pandemic also tested Charles Darwin’s theory of the survival of the fittest, and this phenomenon is the essence of the new Netflix India original Kaala Paani.

Netflix India has been rolling out some great content this year. Kohrra is easily one of the best shows so far in the Ott space. This was followed by the unprecedented success seen by Scoop, Guns & Gulaabs, and Choona. The streaming giant has, for the past few months, boasted of delivering shows in various subjects and genres that have captivated the audience. The brand new Kaala Paani is a callback to the 1996 Mohanlal starrer period film of the same name, directed by Priyadarshan. Meanwhile, this show is a medical drama set on Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is interesting to see Netflix India’s foraying into this genre, as there is already Disney+ Hotstar’s Humans and Amazon Prime Video’s Mumbai Diaries. Both are fine examples of good medical dramas.

Comedy is the most difficult of all genres, and we have all seen some wonderfully amusing films that made us convulse with laughter or made us chuckle and crease up. Kishore Kumar’s films, notably ‘Half Ticket’ and ‘Padosan’; or many of Mahmood’s comic capers are hard to emulate. Priyadarshan’s films, in the recent past, have had us rolling with uncontrollable laughter, but an out-and-out comedy is still few and far between.
After the two successful franchises of ‘Fukrey’ in 2013 and ‘Fukrey Returns’ in 2017, writer Vipul Vig and director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba must have thought that they could pull off another entertainer and laugh all the way to the bank.
No harm in dreaming, but didn’t they know that they needed a script – a solid one at that – to allow fine actors to play around with?

Comedy drama ‘Dream Girl 2’ is a namesake sequel to the 2019 film ‘Dream Girl’, both directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa. Most of the cast remains the same except the leading lady is Ananya Panday instead of Nushrratt Bharuccha. Dream Girl 2 does not continue in terms of the story, it simply picks up the traits of Ayushmann Khurrana’s character Karamveer ‘Karam’ Singh aka Pooja.
Karam (Ayushmann Khurrana), a small-town boy from Mathura, plays female characters in plays (drama) as he has an uncanny ability of delivering sensuous female voice and look like one too. Like earlier he is still looking for a decent job, struggling every day to pay his father’s debt, who has borrowed money from almost everyone around.
While on one hand he is jobless, on the other hand, he is deeply in love with Pari (Ananya Panday), whose father (Manoj Joshi), though reluctant, agrees to their relationship but with a caveat.

Kolkata, Aug 14 (Ians) Champions Bengaluru Fc started their defence with a disappointing 1-1 draw with the Indian Air Force Football Team (Iafft) in the 132nd Durand Cup at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan (Kbk). The Indian Air Force team pulled off what theoretically can be termed as an upset, earning their first point in the event.
Vivek Kumar put the Airmen ahead in the first half after a defensive error allowed Salam Johnson Singh to draw level in the second half.

ProfileThat Vineeth, who maintains a soft persona off-screen could go in front of the camera and be the cunning advocate in ‘Mukundan Unni’ or the loud and silly cop in ‘Kurukkan’ shows his tremendous growth as an actor.Five years before Vineeth Sreenivasan first acted in a film, he sang for Priyadarshan’s Kiluchundan Mambazham, in which his father Sreenivasan and Mohanlal, both senior actors known for their comic films together, played men who were in love with the same woman. Vineeth was then a teenager, and the song, ‘Kasavinte Thattamittu’, the title track of the movie, barely got noticed. It was his second film song – ‘Karale’ – for another Mohanlal-Sreenivasan movie Udayananu Tharam that made Vineeth a household name. The song became hugely popular and many found it adorable that Vineeth sang for his dad. These are the stories of the early 2000s. Today, Vineeth is a very versatile actor,...

It is said that to enjoy some movies, one has to leave their brain at home. This happens to be a common phrase that is often used in order to defend many Bollywood potboilers, which are headlined by fifty-something, steroid-bodied superstars. The storyline of Netflix’s new comedy-thriller Head To Head, from Saudi Arabia, is a hundred times more ludicrous than all those Bollywood movies. Yet you perfectly enjoy it with your brain perfectly attached to your body, as it’s supposed to be.
Five years ago, I wouldn’t have imagined watching a Saudi movie, let alone reviewing it for work. But with the rise of Netflix, every kind of movie from every corner of the world has become accessible to us. Sure, with the streaming giant taking the reins of production, a lot of the movies are being presented to us with a particular Netflix filter on them.

Thiruvananthapuram, July 31 (Ians) Four decades later after Urvashi first donned the grease paint at age 10 in the late seventies, she continues to go strong and has earned herself a landmark when her latest Tamil release ‘Appatha’ was her 700th film.
“I never realised it and only after the media raised this point, I knew about it,” was her modest reaction when asked about her achievement.
On her latest release she says when director Priyadarshan told her about her role, she was a bit apprehensive as he was saying it was about a mature character and then I had doubts, but later when the story was said, I felt I will be able to handle it and did it.

Interview Director of the Anna Ben – Arjun Ashokan film ‘Thrishanku’ tells us why he chose to make his debut with a quirky film on elopement involving two couples and two unsuspecting uncles.When you watch a movie about a couple who decides to elope only to find out that one of their siblings also eloped the same morning, you think, this had to have happened to someone the filmmaker knew.The filmmaker did not (know anyone it happened to). The story simply developed when the writers began working on an idea that they thought had always worked with the Malayali audience – a plot involving elopement. But it couldn’t be just that. The narrative had to be fresh, something untested before. In the film, aptly titled Thrishanku, meaning neither here nor there, the couple somehow ends up on a search mission of the missing sibling, in the company of two uncles.

CinemaAashiq Abu’s remake of Vincent’s 1964 horror classic ‘Bhargavi Nilayam’ has brought back to spotlight an old debate, surrounding the necessity of remakes within Malayalam cinema.Still from 'Neelavelicham'Remakes are not in the least unusual, not down in Kerala, where people get a heavy dose of Priyadarshan movies. Films have been handed between languages, scripts rewritten to Hindi or Tamil from Malayalam. Priyadarshan is not the only culprit, just the more notorious one. The argument in support being that remakes take the original stories to more people, who understand a different language. But then there came remakes of Malayalam films into newer Malayalam films, works of an earlier decade retold. The case in point, the reason for this banter, is of course the remake of the iconic Bhargavi Nilayam of 1964 into Neelavelicham in 2023. Director Vincent’s Bhargavi Nilayam has been considered a classic, a horror movie that set the standards for horror movies,...

ObituaryInnocent will go down in the history of Malayalam cinema as a stupendously talented actor, who spread unmitigated joy on screen, writes Neelima Menon.The heavily pronounced Irinjalakuda slang, that bashful tilt of his head, the peculiar gesticulations, the fine balance between subtlety and hyperbole, and the unforgettable one-liners delivered with soft precision. What made Innocent one of the most cheering sights in Malayalam cinema is all of these and more. Like most in his legion of stupendously talented supporting actors, Innocent flourished during the late 1980s and 90s, popularly termed as the ‘golden period’ in Malayalam cinema. It was during this period that Innocent, who had already made his debut as an actor and producer a decade earlier, found that his niche lay in initiating Malayalam cinema into the realm of satire. So after 50-60 films in which he played notable as well as forgettable characters, Innocent allied with...

He might have had top-billing in only a handful of films but his sense of comic timing and razor sharp wit delivered in rib-tickling Thrissurian slang made him a scene-stealer in every film he was part of. He also wore many hats, first as an entrepreneur and later as a politician who fought an electoral battle and was elected as Member of Parliament representing Chalakudy constituency. He also served as the President of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists for many years.

OpinionThe box office fate of the last few films written by Udaykrishna has more than made it clear that the audience is no longer tickled pink by such regressive, formulaic narratives.Even as a one-liner, Christopher, directed by B Unnikrishnan and written by Udaykrishna, sounds like a fan service superstar vehicle. Mammootty plays a vigilante cop who shoots down rapists in encounters. Considering that writer Udaykrishna (and director B Unnikrishnan) has only crafted hypermasculine narratives featuring men playing the proverbial saviour to women, the execution of the film was on predictable lines – long and mid shots of the stoic hero strutting around the screen in slow-mo, women desperately looking up to him, one-dimensional antagonists, and other shenanigans to glorify the fan vehicle. As usual, despite there being four women actively occupying screen space, they were reduced to mere props. That includes Sneha who plays Home Secretary, Aishwarya Lakshmy as an investigative lawyer,...

Bollywood star Ranveer Singh, who hopes to set his box-office performance on track with his upcoming theatrical film ‘Cirkus’, feels that comedy is the most difficult genre to pull off for both actors and directors.
In the same breath he complimented his director Rohit Shetty as the “king of comedy” at the song launch of ‘Current Laga Re’ in Mumbai on Thursday.
However, the statement can be debated as Indian cinema has directors of the likes of Priyadarshan and Anees Bazmee as well.
Ranveer also showered praise on his wife Deepika Padukone and mentioned that her character of Meenamma from the 2013 Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Chennai Express’ is his all-time favourite character of her.
The actor said, “I think out of all genres comedy is a very difficult one to pull off. It is the litmus test for any actor or a storyteller because if you miss the beat for...

The audience had been told to stay in their seats. Phones were to be on silent. Everyone was on their best behavior. But none of that mattered when legendary Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar entered the packed auditorium to participate in a sold out “In Conversation” event and the public leapt to their feet to applaud, cry his name and take photos and videos as Kumar took to the stage. “Let’s have fun,” Kumar told his fans. As if anyone needed any further encouragement.
Swapping between English and Hindi, Kumar spoke of his career, crediting his success to “30 hard work and 70 Kismet.” He described passing the crowd at the gates of the studio. “Boys and girls are struggling to get into the film industry. They’re much more talented than me and much better looking than me. But they’re still struggling, but God has been kind to me and I got a break.

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who did not have a very successful year at the movies, may well be returning to the ‘Hera Pheri’ universe. Earlier, it was widely reported in the media that the superstar had left the franchise after the film’s producer, and he could not reach a common ground.
Following Akshay’s exit, Kartik Aaryan, who delivered superhit ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ earlier this year, was brought into the film – a development which was confirmed by the film’s very own Babu bhaiyya – Paresh Rawal on Twitter.
The development led to a huge uproar on social media and rightly so because the franchise is one of the pillars of Hindi cinema in the comedy genre.
As per a media report, the film’s producer Firoz Nadiadwala has re-initiated the conversations with Akshay Kumar, who recently graced the Red Sea International Film Festival.

FlashbackSince the release of Sathyan Anthikad’s ‘Sanmanassullavarkku Samadhanam’ in 1986, Sreenivasan’s inherent goofiness and Mohanlal’s adorable naiveté have worked together to build an admirable synergy on screen.Neelima MenonThey last shared screen space in T K Rajeev Kumar’s satirical drama Oru Naal Varum (2010), which was also written by Sreenivasan. In the film, Mohanlal played a Vigilance officer who is trying to build a case against a corrupt town planner (Sreenivasan). Much water has flown under the bridge since then, including a spoof film deriding the superstars, with Mohanlal getting the maximum barbs. Though the superstar seemed to have chosen to brush it aside, they also never came together on screen again, much to the disappointment of Malayali cinephiles. But last month, when the duo finally shared a stage after a decade, and Mohanlal planted a kiss on the frail cheeks of Sreenivasan, social media took a collective sigh.
