Saif's Vikram has his moments, especially his intense and serious look with a slo-mo walk is one of the highlights of the promo. ## While the teaser is getting its due, the most important thing is that it has brought a big sigh of relief to the Bollywood film industry as the teaser has all the ingredients to become a much-needed blockbuster for the industry. There is Ayan Mukerji's "Brahmastra" also in September (9) which is seen as a potential blockbuster and "Vikram Vedha", scheduled for September 30, too looking very promising. ## "Vikram Vedha" is produced by YNOT Studios, Friday Filmworks, T-Series Films, and Reliance Entertainment, and also stars Radhika Apte as the female lead along with Rohit Saraf, Yogita Bihani, and Sharib Hashmi in key roles. ## ## Stay tuned...

Vijay Deverakonda Opens Up On Boycott Liger Twitter Trends

Mumbai, August 23 - It seems everything which is associated with the largest Indian film industry Bollywood is being boycotted by social media warriors, and the latest film to face the wrath of social media is Vijay Deverakonda's Liger, which is more of a Telugu movie but has a Bollywood connection too. ## The Telugu version of "Liger" is unlikely to get affected by the #BoycottLiger trend as Telugu audiences are not caring about this silly trend either. The Hindi version of the film might get affected by this trend, however, Vijay Deverakonda is not at all worried about it and said that he has seen enough of this in his career so far. ## "I have struggled a lot to reach here", VD said during a promotional tour of his upcoming movie. "I fought for money and respect. I also fought to get work. Before the release of my first film, I didn't have much money and I even worked free of cost".## Recalling his early days in the industry, Vijay Deverakonda said, "Many people opposed me at the time of the release of my film Arjun Reddy. But it became successful. I faced all and now I am not scared. Now, I make movies for people. Some drama is much needed and I am ready to fight".## Meanwhile, irrespective of the boycott trend, "Liger" is carrying a very good buzz among moviegoers and is set to open big at the box office, especially in the Telugu version. Even though the Hindi version is looking to open low as of now, it can be the most productive in the long run if received well by the audience. ## Directed by Puri Jagannadh and producer by Dharma Productions and Puri Connects, "Liger" also stars Ananya Pandey as the female lead along with Ramya Krishnan, and Ronit Roy in key roles with former American professional boxer Mike Tyson playing a cameo role. The film will hit theaters on August 25 in Hindi and Telugu along with the dubbed versions of Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages. ##

Bollywood Is Rejected Because of Its Arrogance, Says Vivek Agnihotri

Mumbai, August 21 - Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri said that the reason behind Bollywood's rejection is its arrogance. The "The Kashmir Files" director was speaking in response to director Anurag Kashyap's remark on his film during a recent interview in which he said that TKF shouldn't be chosen for India's official entry for Oscars 2022. ## The selection for India's Oscars entry is made by the Film Federation of India (FFI), the apex body of film producers, distributors, exhibitors, and studio owners, and since 1957, when Mehboob Khan's 'Mother India' lost by just a vote, all of two Indian films - Mira Nair's "Salaam Bombay" (1988) and the Aamir Khan-starrer "Lagaan" (2001) have made it to the Oscar nominations shortlist.## It is possible that "The Kashmir Files" may not be picked as India's entry but Vivek Agnihotri has reasons to feel offended by Kashyap's remark. "Bollywood is suffering today because you are trying to pass on your own failure to an individual because his films work", he said. ## "Go to any middle-class, urban, semi-urban household and interview them and you will find how people hate the arrogance, glossy lifestyle, and the disconnect of Bollywood with real-life audiences".## Agnihotri said that people have seen through "all this hypocrisy, arrogance, and this flashy, flamboyant lifestyle, paid organized publicity campaigns... and now they are not willing to accept it, which is a good thing, which has made Bollywood rethink the ideology they follow".## "They are still running a campaign against 'The Kashmir Files' Oscars submission. So, they are experts on this. It is a serious topic and I take it very seriously. If people are boycotting their films it is because of the anger of the audience. There is a disconnect between the Indian middle class and the producers and stars because of their arrogance".## Referring specifically to Anurag Kashyap, Agnihotri said, "I will tell you why I have tweeted on Anurag Kashyap's comment. I make my films very passionately and I can also protect them passionately. We sacrificed a lot to make our films".## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar Opens Up On His Movies Not Working At The Box Office

Mumbai, August 20 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar was at peak of his game before the covid-19 pandemic stopped the world. Since the resumption of cinemas post-pandemic, things have taken a drastic change most Bollywood films have failed to create the same magic as it was before the pandemic. ## Akshay Kumar too has released five films in theaters in the last 8-9 months but only "Sooryavanshi" turned out to be a box office hit while the other four films have failed to keep up with the reputation Akshay carries at the box office. However, unlike many others, Khiladi Kumar is not hesitating in accepting where he is going wrong. ## During the trailer launch event of his upcoming film "Cuttputlli" on Saturday (August 20), the actor opened up about his movies not working well at the box office. Speaking to the media, the actor said, "Films are not working, it's our fault. It is my fault. I have to make the changes. I have to make what the audience wants. I want to dismantle my way and make the way, what kind of film I should do. So, nobody else to blame, but it is me who has to make changes according to what my audience wants". ## While answering a question about whether OTT is a safe platform for movies at present times, Akshay said that there is no safe place for a bad movie. Just like theatrical movies, OTT films too have to attract the audience and if the movie is not good, it will not be able to gain viewership. ## Meanwhile, Akshay's upcoming movie "Cuttputlli", which is the remake of the Tamil film "Ratsasan", will stream directly on Disney+Hotstar on September 2. Directed by Ranjit M Tewari and produced by Pooja Entertainment, the movie also stars Rakul Preet Singh and Sargun Mehta in the key roles.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Laal Singh Chaddha And Raksha Bandhan Collect Below 100 Crores Combined In The First Week

Mumbai, August 19 - Bollywood superstars Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar's Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan, respectively have completed an extended opening week at the box office and numbers are something that industry had never thought about. ## The combined collection of both the films is around 90 crores net, which is not even close to what trade had predicated before the release. ## "Laal Singh Chaddha", which is the remake of the Hollywood classic hit "Forrest Gump", has been a bigger disappointment as its first-week collection (~ 50 cr) couldn't even cross the opening day numbers of Aamir Khan's last film "Thugs of Hindostan" which scored 50.75 crores net in 2018. ## Directed by Advait Chandan, the overseas collection of the film is somehow respectable with close to 50 crores gross (not final) but the domestic box office is forgettable, to say the least. The negativity around the film before its release also played a massive role in its disastrous fate even though the reception for the film was mixed. ## On the other hand, Akshay Kumar-fronted "Raksha Bandhan" too couldn't get going despite the positive word of mouth. The stakes for the film were low but it still performed underwhelmingly, especially knowing the fact that it has a perfect holiday period to outshine the underfire LSC. As a result, RB scored approx. 39 crores net while the overseas collection is approx. 8 crores, for the worldwide gross total of the film at 54 crores after 8 days. ## The Bollywood industry has now pinned its hopes on the next big release, which is director Ayan Mukerji's magnum opus "Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva". Scheduled for September 9 in multiple languages, the film features an ensemble cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Mouni Roy along with the cameos of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. ## Stay tuned...

Mil Gaya' - which is one of our previous films - 'and have a progression and build on that' - and that was the birth of 'Krrish'", Roshan revealed. "If there was no 'Lord of the Rings', there'd be no 'Krrish'".## "Krrish" is India's first superhero film franchise and there have already been three films in it. "Krrish 4" is currently in the scripting stage and is likely to go on floors by the end of the next year. It will be the continuation of "Krrish 3" (2013). ## Meanwhile, "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power", set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, will stream from September 2, and Amazon Prime Video subscribers in India will be able to watch it in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Raksha Bandhan Second Thursday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 18 - Rakshan Bandhan is moving for another disaster day at the box office in terms of collections. The film is seeing daily massive drops which are never been seen before in Akshay Kumar starrer films. The collections are so poor that even a regional film collects better than these all-India films. The early estimates suggest 1.20 crores net box office collections which is a shocking thing as even with low collections the film is seeing huge drops. The first Thursday collections will take the entire collections of Raksha Bandhan to a little under the 40cr mark. The trend of the film is so bad that even 50cr lifetime collections look like a dream at the moment. The film has to perform at its best to reach that figure. There have been some films by Akshay Kumar that did not do well but this Raksha Bandhan will be going to be his worst performer out of the lot as the film has many holidays in the first week but failed to utilize. About This Movie This film is directed by Anand L Rai and produced by Cape Of Good Films and Colour Yellow Productions. Raksha Bandhan stars Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, and Smrithi Srikanth in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Laal Singh Chaddha Second Thursday Early Estimate

Mumbai, August 18 - Laal Singh Chaddha has had a very poor opening week at the box office. Never a big event film has collected such low collections in the last 15 years starring a superstar. The early estimates suggest 1.50 crores net for Laal Singh Chaddha on the first Thursday. Today's collections will take the entire collection of the film to a little under 52cr net. It has been one of the worst performing films featuring a Khan superstar. Laal Singh Chaddha has done a decent business overseas comparatively but with Aamir Khan on board, the collections are nothing. The worldwide collections might even struggle to reach 150cr which was achieved on the weekend only by many Aamir Khan starrers in the past. About This Movie This film is directed by Advait Chandan and produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Aamir Khan Productions in association with Paramount Pictures. Laal Singh Chaddha stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya in key roles. Stay tuned...

Shehnaaz Gill Gives A Befitting Reply To Media Over Her Link-Up Rumours With Raghav Juyal

Mumbai, August 18 - Singer-actress, Shehnaaz Kaur Gill, who is soon going to make her big Bollywood debut with superstar Salman Khan in "Bhaijaan", is one of the most popular names currently in the Hindi entertainment industry. However, the popularity comes with a price and the actress has started feeling the heat for the same. ## There are rumors that Shehnaaz Gill is dating her "Bhaijaan" co-star Raghav Juyal and this rumor is spreading like a wildfire. It is, however, silly to think about Shehnaaz's link-up rumors as she has always been open about her feeling and we have witnessed the same over the last couple of years. But for some reason, her name is being linked with Juyal and the actress has finally responded to that. ## Recently, Shehnaaz was spotted at a promotional event for her brother's new song, "Aunda Janda" and talked about her dating rumours. She said that media only spreads lies and says anything they want. She said, "Media jhoot kyun bolti hai? Media har bar jhoot bolti hai kayi baar and kuch bi bolti hai".## She also asked a media person that "Aap inke sath (referring to someone) khade ho to aap inke saath relation me ho? Hum kisi ke saath khade ho jayein ya kisi ke saath ghum lein toh relation mein hai? Nahin na... toh bas, media fizool bolti hai. Ab main hyper ho jaungi", Lastly she requested everyone to ask about her brother's song and will talk about her personal or professional life when she will promote her own film or other projects. ## #ShehnaazGill giving it back to the media… love it! pic.twitter.com/rTauxr6MTz— A☁️|Spread Love (@A_Cloud_Feeling) August 17, 2022 ## Stay tuned...

Meanwhile, the audience is also eagerly waiting for the next film in the Golmaal series for a long time and the filmmaker has an update for the same. ## Before the cop franchise, it was the Golmaal series that gave Rohit Shetty a blockbuster status and he said that he will keep making Golmaal films till the time he is making films.

When the industry is in chaos, me and my team are the calmest at present because we are continuing to make the cinema we believe in – larger than life, commercial, and multi-genre", he spoke about his brand of cinema that made him what he is today. ## The last Golmaal film, titled "Golmaal Returns", was released in 2017 and grossed over 300 crores at the worldwide box office against a budget of approx. 70 crores.

Mission Majnu, Govinda Naam Mera, Among 5 Others To Take Direct-OTT Route?

Mumbai, August 18 - The Hindi film industry's revival is getting delayed, thanks to the number of flops since the operation of cinemas resumed post-pandemic. While other industries thriving to new heights, it is Bollywood that hasn't been able to find answers to its misery, and that is also because it isn't offering the cinema audiences is looking for. ## It is a good thing that Bollywood filmmakers, at least some of them, understand where they are going wrong and now looking to make new age cinema that caters to all age audiences. However, there are still some films that were announced for theatrical release, but considering the recent mood of the cinema-going audiences, some of those films might opt for OTT release. ## According to Pinkvilla, "Films like Govinda Naam Mera, Bloody Daddy, Mission Majnu, Freddy, Laxman Uttekar's next with Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, Action Hero and Doctor G might opt for a direct to a digital premiere if they get the right price. Yash Raj Films too is keeping a close watch on the market to decide on the future of their two films – Maharaja and The Great Indian Family". ## It would be shocking if a couple of films mentioned above indeed take a direct-to-digital route. Sidharth Malhotra delivered one of the finest performances in the last year's OTT film "Shershaah". Many believed back then that the movie should have been released in theaters as it was a perfect film for the big screen. "Mission Majnu" of him very much falls in the same category and there is a good amount of anticipation among the audiences for this film. The same can be said for Shahid Kapoor's "Bloody Daddy", and Ayushmann Khurrana's "Action Hero". ## Bollywood, meanwhile, has films set for theatrical release every week this year and most of them promise to be big screen spectacles, including Brahmastra, Vikram Vedha, Ram Setu, Thank God, Drishyam 2, Bhediya, Cirkus, and Bhaijaan. From next year onwards, there are enough big screen tentpoles which are already having a lot of anticipation. ## Stay tuned...
