But then came a time when he hit rock bottom, and it was none other than Raj Kapoor who cheered him up at a Holi Party.
The showman was famous for his Holi parties in Bollywood. At one such party, he noticed a disheartened Big B standing aloof. While everyone was too busy enjoying the Holi festivities, none noticed how distressed the Deewar actor was.
It was a time when Amitabh Bachchan was experiencing a low in his career with continuous flops. As many as 10. He was...

We recently wrote about how Akshay Kumar will enter the 5000 crore club at the box office with his 2024 releases & the biggest of them all has to be Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (Bmcm). Yes, he has Welcome To The Jungle as well, but his mega-actioner with Tiger Shroff backed by the most successful director he’ll ever work with.
Yes! We were digging some box office facts about Akshay Kumar, and the most surprising one we uncovered was that he has never worked with a director who has scored a 300+ crore (India net) film in their entire career. The most successful directors he has worked with are Shankar (2.0) & Rohit Shetty (Sooryavanshi).

‘Twas the weekend before Christmas, and not much at the box office was stirring.
The addition of three new wide openings on December 25, plus the usual surge that starts on the holiday and lasts through January 1, will decidedly improve things. But at this point, this season looks to be disappointing.
Compared to that, the specialized world, with the strongest lineup of December releases in recent memory, continues to show promise. Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers” (Searchlight) is the most recent title to have a strong platform debut.
The lead up included four new wide studio titles, led by DC’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” (WB) at $28 million for three days. With Monday projected at $12 million, that gets to $40 million. Disney’s “The Marvels” opened to $46 million its first three days, ending at less than $90 million domestic. “Aquaman” will do better, but, similarly, these results spell trouble for its fantasy universe.

Animal Box Office & Dunki Might Turn The Box Office Heroes Amidst Prabhas’ Big Budget Salaar! ( Photo Credit – IMDb; YouTube )
Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for a big clash against Prabhas’ Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, and Ranbir Kapoor is ready for the release of his gangster drama Animal. However, guess what’s common in Ranbir and Srk’s films? We’ll get to this interesting observation very soon.
Shah Rukh Khan has delivered two blockbusters this year – Pathaan and Jawan, channeling his rough, macho side, the actor is getting ready with Dunki, a Rajkumar Hirani film, which goes easy on the action and highlights the drama.

Looks like there are attempts by vested interests to bring the fans wars over stars on to the streets. One knows the kind of groups that get into prolonged arguments on X for the star they favour, or are appointed by, or paid occasionally. They also abuse and run down other stars. All they need to do is toe the line their star master has assigned to them.
Okay, so you have been given a task to propagate a star and be more vehement when his film is due, and you are doing your job. Because you believe in your star, or are a part of his promotion team, or just because you have been paid for the job. Just like some so-called critics and influencers are.

Bollywood’s Jawan and star Shah Ruhk Khan livened up a slow specialty market, grossing close to $2.5 million in 776 locations in week two for a cume close to $12.2 million. The Yash Raj actioner is no. 6 at the domestic box office.
Its weekend split was $694,724k Fri.; $1.024m Sat,; $775k Sunday as Jawan races to records in India, including the top box office opening last week for a Hindi film. Commentators are noting that the dubbed Telugu and Tamil versions – a key to box office in India, and Stateside — are also raking in more than they have for any other Hindi film. Indian films continue to be a gift to U.S. exhibitors as loyal audiences who follow release schedule closely turn out weekly and in force for the films that open day and date. A breathlessly awaited, well-reviewed movie there is the same here.
Sony notable Dumb Money by Craig Gillepsie, banked a projected $217k for the first leg of three-step platform release in eight theaters across six markets. The film captures the meme-stock frenzy that saw scrappy retail traders flood onto social media, egging each other on to buoy GameStop and other shares in dramatic showdown with traditional Wall Street players. It made $92K Friday, $74K Saturday and an estimated $50K Sunday for a per-screen average of $27,080. A decent number since there was zero publicity due to the actors’ strike by very marketable stars from Pete Davidson to Seth Rogen, to Paul Dano, and that hurts. Gillepsie did some Q&As in NYC and LA.
The R-rated film that premiered to strong reviews at TIFF is banking on word of mouth as it expands to 200+ screens next weekend and goes wide September 29. No social data but anecdotal reports from theaters of positive reactions from advance screenings, and high audience scores.
The original release strategy was a four-step platform that would likely have garnered significantly higher PSAs on fewer screens this weekend. But Sony condensed the plan and skipped a step to leave a few weeks for Dumb Money before the mid-October opening of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour – an event that’s hit $65 million in presales, with a $100 million opening within reach.

Other specialty openings: From Roadside Attractions, Camp Hide Out is posting an estimated three-day gross of $510,160 on 848 screens for a PSA of $602.

Directed by Jim Capobianco, the film stars Stephen Fry, Marion Cotillard, Daisy Ridley, Matt Berry & Gauthier Battoue.
Limited release: Documentary Invisible Beauty from Magnolia Pictures grossed $10,500 at the Film Forum. Expanding on Friday to LA, Chicago, Washington, DC and Atlanta. Fashion revolutionary Bethann Hardison looks back on her journey as a pioneering Black model, modelling agent and activist.

Noting Oscilloscope’s CatVideoFest 2023 has crossed half a million theatrical in week seven, grossing $30k on 20 screens for a cume of $502k. It’s a new best for the event that celebrates all things feline and which Oscilloscope has handled since 2019. The compilation, which has also raised over $50k for cats in need, will continue to add new engagements throughout the fall.

Only Super Bowl weekend had a lower total gross in 2023, with around $63 million for this weekend. But even on a weekend when no film grossed over $15 million, it matters to studios who gets the bragging rights that come with taking the top spot.
Warner Bros. sent its estimate of $14.7 million for the second weekend of “The Nun II.” Disney had just before claimed $14.5 million for “A Haunting in Venice,” the latest Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot Agatha Christie film.
This includes guesses for Sunday. The general consensus among rivals is that both figures are too high, but “The Nun II” is better positioned to prevail in a race that might even be closer than it seems. But we really won’t know until Sunday’s actual results are known.
If “The Nun II” did reach $14.7 million, it came with a slightly-better-than-usual drop of only 55 percent for a horror sequel (even...

Kenneth Branagh returned both behind and in front of the camera as Inspector Hercule Poirot for “A Haunting in Venice,” the third threequel of September, which only did slightly better than its predecessor. Read on for the weekend box office report.
Despite “Venice” receiving better reviews than the previous two installments with 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, it still got caught up in a horse race for first place as Warner Bros. claimed victory with its own horror sequel, “The Nun II,” over Branagh’s third adaptation of an Agatha Christie murder mystery. Warners is estimating that “The Nun II” made $14.7 million this weekend, down 55% from its opening weekend, but if that number holds, it will indeed score a second weekend at #1. It has grossed $56.5 million in its first two weekends, just a little bit more than the original “The Nun” opened with in 2018.

Netflix and leading Indian studio Yash Raj Films (Yrf) have set a multi-year creative partnership.
The two entities will “collaborate to create films and series to bring defining stories to audiences in India and across the world,” they said in a statement.
The partnership will kick off with four-part thriller series “The Railway Men,” a previously-announced tribute to the unsung heroes of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy. A cloud of toxic gas escaped from an American pesticide plant, in 1984, in the central Indian city of Bhopal. It killed and injured thousands of people.

The cast is led by R. Madhavan (“Rocketry”), Kay Kay Menon (“Bambai Meri Jaan”), Divyenndu Sharma (“Mirzapur”), emerging talent Babil Khan (“Friday Night Plan”) and Sunny Hinduja...

AnalysisWith Netflix’s ‘The Romantics’ starting conversations around the Yash Chopra reign in Bollywood, we revisit a few of his popular films to see how he depicted women on screen.Sridevi in ChandniRohit’s first glimpse of Chandni is at a friend’s wedding. As the enchanting woman, dressed in a resplendent red lehenga, dances stirringly to ‘Mere Haathon Mein’ — a slyly worded song that illustrates the anxiety of a bride on a wedding night, he is mesmerised. He throws a dupatta around him, sneaks into the all-women gathering, and takes several pictures of her. And in the very next scene, he pulls her towards him and proposes to her in no uncertain terms.
