Prime Minister Narendra Modi Slams 'Boycott Bollywood' Trend

Mumbai, January 18 - Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reportedly slammed the "Boycott Bollywood" trend on social media. Amid the row over Bollywood films, PM Modi on Tuesday told Bharatiya Janata Party workers and leaders to refrain from making unnecessary remarks on irrelevant issues like movies. ## In recent times, several Bollywood films have been at the center of controversies as they have faced allegations of hurting Hindu sentiments and culture. The latest on the trend is Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" which is scheduled to release on January 25. The movie is getting heavy criticism for its song "Besharam Rang". ## Prime Minister Modi's remarks came on the second day of the BJP's national executive meeting, where he suggested that unnecessary remarks on irrelevant issues such as movies put the party's development agenda on the back burner, according to Hindustan Times. ## Earlier, Om Raut's "Adipurush" also faced boycott calls. The movie is based on Ramayana and Madhya Pradesh home minister and BJP leader Narottam Mishra had warned the makers of legal action if scenes showing Hindu religious figures in an allegedly wrong manner were not removed. ## "Adipurush" is now scheduled to release on June 16, 2023, and the makers will be hoping that after PM Modi's intervention, the boycott calls would be put to rest and the movie would be able to get a smooth release. ## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar's 'Cuttputlli' Is The Most-Watched Hindi Film On Digital Platform In 2022

Mumbai, January 12 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has had an underwhelming 2022 year on the work front. The actor had multiple releases last year but none of them could become hits at the box office as all his films finished below the 100 crores mark domestically. ## Apart from the theatrical releases, Akshay also had a digital release in the form of the crime thriller Cuttputli and it has good success. A remake of the 2018 Tamil film "Ratsasan", "Cuttputli" is directed by Ranjit M. Tewari and produced by Pooja Entertainment. ## "Cuttputli" was the most-watched original Hindi film on Digital Platforms, according to Ormax Media. It was released on Disney Plus Hotstar on September 2 and scored 26.9 million views. Yami Gautam's "A Thursday" was the second most-watched film with 25.5 million views. It was also released on Disney+Hotstar. ## Disney Plus Hotstar was the biggest gainer from the Hindi film industry with 3 of its original movies crossing 24 million views each as "Govinda Naam Mera" scored 24.4 million views, per Ormax. Disney+ Hotstar (7 films), Prime Video & Netflix (4 films each) share the top 15 spots between them. ## The viewership data by Ormax Media has been collected through a methodology that consists of the number of people who watched the show (at least one full episode) or film (at least 30 mins). It does not represent the number of accounts used for watching the show/ film, e.g., three members of a family, or two friends, watching on the same account are considered as the unique audience. The numbers are only associated with Indian audiences. ## Stay tuned...
