Bollywood A-list star Rani Mukerji was in refreshingly candid form at Mumbai’s Ficci Frames media industry conference, proffering frank opinions on the Indian theatrical business.
The usual Hindi-language domination of the all-India box office was reversed for a period in 2021-22, when films from the south of India, including “Rrr,” “Kantara,” “Ponniyin Selvan” and “Vikram” dominated, and the northern counterparts from’ Bollywood’ struggled to become hits. Since then, the north-south competition has evolved again.
In 2023, there were only three south Indian films in the box office top 10, “Salaar,” “Jailer” and “Leo,” at numbers four, six and seven, respectively. However, Hindi-language films made by south Indian filmmakers – “Jawan” in pole position and “Animal” in third – performed exceedingly well.
“They listen to what the audiences want,” Mukerji said. “When cinema is evolving and everybody’s trying to cater to a diverse audience, sometimes you lose touch with the popular or the...

With “Leo,” Indian director Lokesh Kanagaraj adds another “badass” to the growing network of formidable action heroes he calls the “Lokesh Cinematic Universe.” How do we know this guy’s a badass? Because the Tamil film’s techno soundtrack tells us so, chanting “Leo Das is a badass!” before even establishing who Leo Das is. By this time, the character in question has already wrestled a wild hyena into submission with his bare hands. He goes by the name Parthiban, not Leo Das, but signs are clear that he knows how to punch, kick and shoot his way out of a jam.
“Badass” is one of those out-of-touch grandpa words: a stock description of septuagenarian tough guys like Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson whose violent deeds seem to clash with their surface appearance. It doesn’t usually apply to nepo villains like Leo, who’s more of a flash-mobster than an actual gangster,...

The much-awaited Tamil action thriller film Leo, starring Vijay and Sanjay Dutt, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is all set to hit the theatres on October 19, 2023. However, the Hindi version of the film will not be released in the national multiplex chains such as PVR, Inox, Cinepolis and Carnival. The reason behind this decision is the short Ott window of just four weeks, which means that the film will be available on Netflix within a month of its theatrical release1
This move has disappointed many fans of Vijay and Sanjay Dutt, who were eagerly waiting to watch the film on the big screen. The film is expected to be a blockbuster, as it marks the second collaboration of Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj after Master (2021), which was a huge success. The film also features Trisha, Arjun Sarja, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mansoor Ali Khan and Mysskin in pivotal roles. The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander,...

Mari Selvaraj, the acclaimed director of Karnan, Maamannan and Pariyerum Perumal, is reportedly in talks with actor Kavin to helm his next project. According to Vikatan, the movie may begin after completing Dhruv Vikram’s movie and before going to Dhanush’s movie.
Mari Selvaraj is currently working on his fourth film with Dhruv Vikram, which is said to be a sports drama. The film is expected to go on floors soon and will be produced by Pa Ranjith’s Neelam Productions.

OpinionThe current popularity of violent gangster films also lies in the fact that they are more suited for the pan-Indian formula – something the south Indian industries are keen to exploit in the post-’Baahubali’ era.Abilash Joshiy’s King of Kotha (2023), starring Dulquer Salmaan, is the latest gangster film to hit the big screens. Interestingly, it went up against Rdx (2023) for Onam, a film where three trained martial artists take on a local gangster group. A couple of weeks before these films came out, the big release in the south was Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer (2023), starring Rajinikanth as a former policeman who is at war with gangsters. All these films have heroes with grey shades, and use violence as a form of entertainment. For instance, in Jailer, Rajinikanth’s Muthuvel Pandian beheads a gangster in a close-up shot. The scene is written to emphasise the superstar’s swag and is meant to be darkly funny.

Ahead of the release of his upcoming action-thriller film ‘Indian 2’, veteran actor Kamal Haasan wished director Shankar Shanmugam (or Shankar) on his 59th birthday. Taking to his X account (formerly Twitter), the ‘Vikram’ actor sharing a picture of the two together tweeted: “Many happy returns of this day, Dear Shankar ji”.
Many fans congratulated the veteran Tamil director on his birthday while referring to the two as the ‘power-packed danger duo’. After his success with the 2022 version of his 1986 spy-thriller film ‘Vikram’, Kamal Haasan, who is now over 68 still has the same level of energy.
‘Indian 2’ is the sequel to Shankar Shanmugam’s 1996 Tamil vigilante action classic ‘Indian’ which also starred Kamal Haasan in the lead alongside Nedumudi Venu, Sukanya, Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar.

New Delhi, Aug 17 (Ians) August 16 may have been a working day, but Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer’ and Sunny Deol’s ‘Gadar 2’ not only did well, but also left the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Omg 2’ and Chiranjeevi’s ‘Bholaa Shankar’ way behind.
At the end of Day 6, ‘Gadar 2’ was sitting on a worldwide collection of Rs 338.50 crore.
Interestingly, Tara Singh’s one-man war against Pakistan seems to have touched a chord in Chennai, for the southern metropolis saw a 73.75 per cent occupancy in theatres for ‘Gadar 2’. Pakistan-bashing, clearly, works as much in the south as it does in the north, that too on a working Wednesday.
‘Jailer’, being a Tamil film, doesn’t have as big a footprint as ‘Gadar 2’, yet with Thalaiva Rajinikanth headlining it, by its seventh day, it had amassed Rs 420 crore.
Of course, the film’s domestic collections have come mainly from the four southern states,...

KollywoodBoth Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar appear briefly in ‘Jailer’ as uber-cool gangsters with mass-appeal scenes just like Rajinikanth, much to the excitement of their fans.Superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailer is on its way to make history at the box office. The film, which was released on August 10, is said to have collected Rs 23 crore in Kerala alone so far, a new collection record for the Tamil superstar. While there is no denying that Rajinikanth is an absolute crowd-puller, the film’s success can also be attributed to the strategically placed cameos of Malayalam and Kannada superstars Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar to attract viewers from across languages. Both Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar appear briefly in Jailer as uber-cool gangsters with mass-appeal scenes just like Rajinikanth, much to the excitement of their fans. Besides them, Malayali actor Vinayakan, who has carved his own niche as a versatile performer, plays the villain in the film.

Speaking about her transition, Alia said that suddenly doing a movie in full English language was a bit weird for her, but overall it was a great experience for her.
In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Alia was asked about her transition where she said: “You know it was a bit awkward for me speaking in English all time, because I’m so used to speaking in Hindi even though I use English half the time, suddenly acting in English was a bit weird.”
“But apart from that, day one… kind of awkwardness, I really really felt that it was the same. The process of a film set world over is exactly the same,” she added.

Indian movie “Kalki 2898 Ad” (working title “Project – K”) made a splash at the San Diego Comic-Con with the successful teaser and title release.
Touted to be one of India’s biggest films, “Kalki 2898 Ad” brings together a strong star cast – Kamal Haasan (Vishwarroopam” and “Vikram”), Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Prabhas (“Baahubali” series).
From the teaser, “Kalki 2898 Ad” appears to be set in a dystopian future “when the world is taken over by darkness”. A savior, a “force,” will rise to bring order to chaos.

KollywoodThe poster shows Vijay in the middle of a bloody fight, armed with an sledgehammer.Courtesy/VijayTwitterEven as many wonder if actor Vijay is finally going to make the shift to politics, the makers of his next film Leo dropped the first look poster on Thursday, June 22. The poster shows Vijay in the middle of a bloody fight, armed with a sledgehammer. A wolf or a hyena, it’s hard to make out, can be seen snarling beside him in the poster. Leo is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and is believed to be a part of what has come to be known as the Loki Cinematic Universe (Lcu) — an interconnection of the popular director’s previous films including the Kamal Haasan starrer Vikram (2022) and Karthi starrer Kaithi (2019). The film’s title was earlier revealed along with a promo video that featured Vijay in a bakery dealing with the process of melting chocolate,...

Mumbai, June 8 (Ians) A day after the ‘Adipurush’ teaser was launched at a grand event in Tirupati, and garnered over 109 million views on YouTube in 24 hours, and the producers of ‘Karthikeya 2’ announced that they will give away 10,000 tickets for free in Telangana, the distribution of the Rs 500 crore pan-India film in the Telugu-speaking states has hit a speedbreaker.
A major distributor, Dil Raju, has backed out of picking up the rights for the Telugu version of the Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer in what is known as the Hyderabad and Uttarandhra regions in the film trade jargon.
This setback comes within a day after it was reported by the trade media that the Ott rights for ‘Adipurush’ have been sold to an unconfirmed platform (Amazon Prime Video is the punters’ favourite) for Rs 250 crore.
