In 2024, Shah Rukh Khan and his Ipl team, Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr), were on cloud nine after reaching the finals. The superstar made it a point to attend almost every match that season to support the players. Alongside Srk, Juhi Chawla and her husband Jay Mehta have continued to co-own the team since 2008.

So far, Srk’s team has won the Ipl three times — in 2012, 2014, and 2024. After a decade-long wait since their last win, Kkr fans finally saw their team lift the trophy again. However, there have also been seasons when Shah Rukh Khan’s team struggled to secure a strong position on the Ipl leaderboard.

In an interview (via BollywoodLife) in 2014, the Dunki star was asked if he ever scolded his Kkr team players. In his answer, Shah Rukh Khan revealed the kind...

When Salman Khan Took Only ₹1 for a Film — Here’s Why
Image
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is known for his extravagant blockbusters and staggering fees, but there was a time when the actor surprised everyone by working in a film for just ₹1. Yes, the actor who often headlines multi-crore films chose to act almost free of cost in a meaningful project — and the reason behind this decision speaks volumes about his character.

The film in question was Phir Milenge, released in 2004. Directed by actress-turned-filmmaker Revathi, the film starred Shilpa Shetty and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles and aimed to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. The subject was not only socially relevant but also bold for its time, especially in an era where mainstream cinema rarely touched upon such sensitive topics.

Salman Khan had a supporting role in the movie, yet it held significant emotional weight. When approached for the film, Salman immediately agreed to be part of the project. But what took...

Bollywood power couples are known for their stardom, but in many cases, it’s the leading ladies who are giving their husbands stiff competition—not just on red carpets but also in the wealth game. Let’s take a closer look at four such divas who are not only stars in their own right but also financially fierce.

Compared to husband Abhishek Bachchan, who has also had a steady career, Aishwarya’s brand value is considerably higher.

Anupam Kher took over the directorial hat for the Hindi drama, Tanvi The Great. It was released in theatres worldwide on July 18, 2025, alongside the blockbuster Saiyaara. Unfortunately, Iain Glen co-starrer is struggling to drive audience in theatres and will be a box office bomb. Scroll below for a detailed day 9 report!

Tanvi The Great Box Office Collection

The pre-release buzz for the drama, starring Anupam Kher in the lead, was low. Things got more challenging, and it opened alongside Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s Saiyaara, which stole all the limelight. It still managed to add 40 lakhs to its box office collection on day 1. It showcased decent growth during the first weekend, but things went downhill with the initiation of the working days.

In the nine days of its theatrical run, Tanvi The Great has accumulated 2.03 crore net, as per Sacnilk.

‘Saiyaara’ Defies Box Office Gravity With Screen Expansion
Image
Yash Raj Films’ latest romantic offering “Saiyaara” is rewriting the playbook for Indian theatrical releases, bucking industry trends with a rare screen expansion in its second week of release.

The Mohit Suri-directed film has surged from 2,225 screens in its opening week to a packed 3,650 theaters, defying the conventional wisdom that screen counts typically decline after the first week. The expansion comes on the heels of the film’s blistering box office performance, which has collected $29.5 million in just seven days. $5 million of this is from the international box office and the rest from India.

The film stars Ahaan Panday, making his debut, and emerging star Aneet Padda (Prime Video’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry”). Panday stars as Krish Kapoor, a rising musician whose raw talent and ambition set him on a collision course with the realities of the modern music industry.

Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most iconic stars of Hindi cinema. From being labelled as ‘failed newcomer’ to the only ‘Shahenshah’ of Bollywood, he has come a long way. Amitabh had his fair share of struggle as he initially struggled to carve a niche for himself in the industry. It was in 1973 with the film Zanjeer that Bachchan experienced success and rose to stardom and has never stopped since then. However, in the mid-1990’s, Amitabh Bachchan faced a severe financial crisis when he started his own production house called Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (Abcl), which led him to bankruptcy and a debt of approximately Rs 90 crore. Let’s look back at the time when Abhishek Bachchan opened up on those tough times. Read on to know more.

Vidya Balan Reunites with Sanjay Dutt and Teams Up with Riteish Deshmukh for ‘Raja Shivaji’

Vidya Balan is gearing up for a grand comeback to the big screen with Raja Shivaji, a historical drama directed by Riteish Deshmukh that aims to make waves across India.

Anupam Kher’s Directorial Debut Was Released In July 2002, The Same Week As His Tanvi The Great
Image
Subhash K Jha looks back at Anupam Kher’s directorial debut, Om Jai Jagdish, which released in July 2002. Interestingly, his new film Tanvi The Great is hitting the big screen now.

Om Jai Jagdish is as giddying and utopian as family sagas in films go. Three brothers Om (Anil Kapoor), Jai (Fardeen Khan) and Jagdish (Abhishek Bachchan), under the supervision of an ever-patient mother (Waheeda Rehman), try to transcend the inherent limitations of such families, but only superficially. To his credit Kher checks the narrative from lapsing into excessive melodrama. But a film cannot thrive on that alone.

In his determination to be mellow, rather than melodramatic, Kher denudes the narrative of all vigour and vitality.The audience might pine for high drama when world of the spunky mother Saraswati and her idealistic elder son Om begins to come apart. Middle son Jai’s worldly-wise wife (Urmila Matondkar) weans him away from home.

Abhishek Bachchan Exclusively On Shararat – The Film Which Took On Bhansali’s Devdas

Abhishek Bachchan, talks with Subhash K Jha, Exclusively, on his excellent film Shararat, featuring an incredible cast that included Amrish Puri, Mohnish Behl, Helen, Om Puri, Tinnu Anand, Daisy Irani, and Dara Singh Randhawa, which released in 2002, unfortunately opposite Devdas…

What do we do when a meritorious film is completely eclipsed by a mega-event in cinema? Devdas left little room for a small sensitive effort like Shararat to grow, let alone glow. The first and foremost reason why Shararat deserves a chance is for its ability to create a harmony between life and sorrow, death and laughter. The film evokes a nostalgic ache for the young and yet leaves us with a lingering affection for the old.

Gurudev Bhalla’s Shararat enters the bleak but brave world of the old and the dying. His admirable autumn sonata suffers a serious shararat (mischief) due to its untimely release. Sanjay Bhansali’s Devdas overpowers this big-little film,...

I firmly believe that some titles are jinxed! In 1972, there was a film of this name, with a single ‘a’ (Malik), which was an insufferable melodrama. This one’s anything but ‘mellow,’ but it’s unbearable too after the first predictable yet slightly engaging and optimistic (I am an optimist while watching any movie!) hour.

This Day That Year: Anubhav Sinha’s Dus Completes 20 Years
Image
In a new installment of his feature series This Day That Year, Subhash K Jha refocuses on Anubhav Sinha’s Dus, a slick action flick with and all star cast, which just celebrated 20 years since its release.

This film is so cool, you probably need sunglasses to watch it. Unlike its thriller predecessors like Sanjay Gupta’s Kaante, Vikram Bhatt’s Elaan, and Rajiv Rai’s Asambhav, Dus isn’t phony-cool. Nor does it doesn’t seem like a poor country cousin of the Die Hard and Mission Impossible series.

Sure, the screenplay writers Yash and Vinay have borrowed huge chunks—sometimes without alteration—from several Hollywood actioners. And the whole cool-dude attitude that every protagonist wears like designer clothes is straight out of the ultra-chic Men-in-Black prototype that serves as an imperialistic role model for large-screen heroism.

Nevertheless, you have to hand it to Anubhav Sinha. He handles the...

This Day That Year: Bol Bachchan Clocks 13 Years
Image
Subhash K Jha looks back at the Ajay Devgan, Abhishek Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan starrer, Bol Bachchan, which released 13 years ago in this new edition of This Day That Year.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee would be unable to recognize this version of his comedy Golmaal on which Bol Bachchan is based.

Hell, he might have even sued for subversion of his creative property. But then he always loved the Bachchan family. And there are the two Bachchans in the film: Abhishek Bachchan and his likeable comic partner Krushna Abhishek. No, make that 3. At the very start, the senior-most Bachchan, the Big B himself, makes a gracious song-and-dance appearance where the director Rohit Shetty lets us know he loves the Bachchans. In one way or another.

The film casts Abhishek Bachchan in a double role of Abbas and his doppelganger, Abhishek Bachchan. Yes, that’s the name given to Abhishek’s character when he...

Abhishek Bachchan On 2001’s Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai
Image
Abhishek Bachchan talks with Subhash K Jha and reflects on the experience of making Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai, which released 24 years ago today!

How do you look back on the experience of Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai?

I look back very fondly on that experience. I enjoyed working with my friend Goldie and Jackie Shroff, Rani Mukerji and Sushmita Sen.

Why do you think the film didn’t work?

To be very honest, the lack of experience went against Goldie and me. We became so emotionally involved with the story that we lost all objectivity. We were like two boys chasing a dream. But I don’t regret it. I think Goldie did a fine job. The film gave me a lot of scope to perform. I hope I didn’t let him down.

Your character had a graph from an innocent smalltowner to compromised city slicker?

This Day That Year: Subhash K Jha Revisits 24 Years Of Abhishek Bachchan-Goldie Behl’s Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai
Image
In a new installment of This Day That Year: Subhash K Jha revisits Abhishek Bachchan-Goldie Behl’s Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai which also featured Rani Mukherjee, a romantic drama that released in 2001.

Director Goldie Behl and Abhishek Bachchan are family friends in the true sense of the term. The Bachchan patriarch was close to Goldie’s father filmmaker Ramesh Behl . Behl Sr and Bachchan Sr together made movies like Kasme Vade and Pukar. Ramesh Behl also produced the superhit Jawani Diwani with Jaya Bachchan in the lead. So it was natural that Abhishek play the lead in Ramesh Behl’s son Goldie’s directorial debut.

Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai(Biskh) though not without merit, flopped. I warned Abhishek against doing films with friends. Here’s what he had said: “It’s okay. These, Goldie, Rohan Sippy (son of Ramesh Sippy), Gurudev Bhalla are guys I grew up with.

“Abhishek Bachchan’s Sincere Performance Anchors Kaalidhar Laapata” – A Subhash K Jha Review
Image
Biryani never tasted better. Director Madhumita’s Kaalidhar Laapata, adapted from her own Tamil film K.D., which was about an 80-year-old abandoned patriarch “adopted” by a precocious little boy, sails across its sedate, unadventurous landscape.

With Abhishek Bachchan helming the remake, the original protagonist’s age is knocked off by half. A romantic angle, quite unnecessary, featuring the ill-cast Nimrat Kaur, is also added to the original. Luckily, the core of the fable—a man finds his bearing after getting lost, tackled earlier with less rewarding results in Vanvaas—remains intact, untouched, and largely unspoilt.

Kalidhar Laapata has a remarkably stout heart. The writing is sometimes clunky, and the restricted budget shows up on screen with distracting frequency. For example, the Kumbh Mela is recreated in a studio with the portable bustle of a crowded bus stand.

But the rapport between Abhishek and his young co-star Daivik Bhagela is unmistakable.

Kaalidhar Laapata (2025) Movie Review: If We Could Measure The Merit Of Cinema By Its Social Relevance Only, ‘Kaalidhar Laapata’ Would Have Been Regarded As A Good Film
Image
Have you wondered whether your acceptance or rejection of social, cultural, and religious events has room for the calamities that take place inside their crevices? If you haven’t, then it is not your fault. You have been trained, unconsciously, by the power structures of society to perceive social events by their scintillating outlook only. It is this hegemonic order that permeates the horizon of the popular psyche. At this juncture, a film like “Kaalidhar Laapata,” intended to operate in the popular discourse, becomes an essential cultural artifact to counter the predominant order.

I’d be pretty honest. There’s nothing in “Kalidhaar Laapata” that blew me away. I liked the first few minutes, up to the first half – I anticipated something good might come out of it – but soon it fell prey to the clichéd tropes. But even with the flaws that the film entailed, I’d still like...

‘Kaalidhar Laapata’ Movie Review: Abhishek Bachchan’s Best Performance Till Date
Image
When we talk about the most popular nepo-babies of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, Kajol, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji, Konkona Sen Sharma, Shabana Azmi, and more are brought up. But Abhishek Bachchan, for some reason, is always considered to be one of the worst products of nepotism. I mean, it’s not like the aforementioned names don’t have bad movies in their filmography. And, sure, it’s tough to reach the stature of the one and only Amitabh Bachchan and the equally legendary Jaya Bachchan. However, it’s kind of unfair to ignore all the good performances he has delivered in the last 2 decades, some of which not only eclipse his contemporaries but also his parents. He was phenomenal in Yuva. He went toe-to-toe with his dad in Bunty aur Babli, Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, Kank, and Paa. His performances in Guru and Raavan remain unmatched. I...

This Day That Year: Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar Clocks 20 Years, Amitabh Bachchan Speaks

Looking back at the gritty political thriller Sarkar, in this fascinating installment of Subhash K Jha’s This Day That Year series, where we also hear from the star Amitabh Bachchan about making the Rsm Gopal Varma film which released in 2005.

In Sarkar, nothing is as apparent as it seems. Take a look at the plot: a saviour-of-the-masses hero, his two heir-apparent – the bad son and good son, the tussle of power between the two sons in a world that Varma has over the years patented and portrayed inside-out.

Dark, gleaming, ominous corridors hiding anguished pain, characters who look like they could do with a bath… and a massage to release some of the nervous tension that comes from a blurred perception of crime and morality – these characterize the givens in a Varma film.

Sarkar too takes us through a world governed by the rules of survival of the fittest.

At least I did, since Amit Trivedi decided to detox the music scene currently, one song at a time, with the music album of Abhishek Bachchan’s upcoming film Kaalidhar Laapata! The only problem with this music album is that it lasts for 11 minutes 9 seconds exact! Too short to feel good about life!

Ever since I landed on this beautiful album, this is the only good thing happening in my otherwise dull days, and it has been on my playlist on a loop! Till it cements a place in my heart, I am not letting this album go!

The songs have been penned equally beautifully by Geet Sagar. In...

Okay, what do you need on a lazy Monday morning? Probably a little bit of warmth. Honestly, I did not even contemplate that Anupam Kher’s upcoming film Tanvi The Great could offer that warm, cozy space one might need in an otherwise struggling day. But the trailer of this film helmed by Anupam Kher is promising all the good things!

Anupam Kher is a brilliant actor but he is a skilled filmmaker as well. Though people might agree to disagree but his directorial debut in Om Jai Jagdish did make an impact despite being flawed. Not only did the actor arrive with another directorial starring Shubhangi, who plays an autistic girl in the film!

Ibrahim Ali Khan has grown from a college boy to an intense and brooding terrorist for his second film, Sarzameen. The announcement teaser of the film has dropped, and it is definitely gonna make you excited. Also, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol, the teaser has been done beautifully.

The intrigue that has been set up in the trailer of this intense drama is real. The film is directed by Kayoze Irani, and Prithviraj channels his best self in every single frame. Meanwhile, Kajol is electrifying, making us remember her shades of Zooni a bit! Probably only because the premise for Kashmir tends to do this – it makes you remember all the good stuff you have seen before!

This Day That Year: Subhash K Jha Celebrates 18 Years Of Mahesh Bhatt-Mohit Suri’s Awarapan

Celebrating the Mahesh Bhatt-Mohit Suri’s Awarapan, which starred Emraan Hashmi, Subhash K Jha looks back at the drama that released in 2007. And Mahesh Bhatt reveals what he thinks made Awarapan so special in a new installment of This Day That Year.

Freedom could be a song or it could be a poem. In Awarapan, it’s a thought that gets smothered in a stifled scream. Mohit Suri has specialised in manifesting the fears and anxieties of tortured souls in flight. After trying it out with lukewarm success in Kalyug and Woh Lamhe, he gets it right this time.

Freedom is a major driving force behind Mahesh Bhatt’s cinema. Like it or not, Mahesh’s tortured vision colours and complements every frame that his protégées, from Anurag Basu to Mohit Suri, have created. In this hauntingly delineated portrait of a woman’s right to self-fulfillment, Mohit Suri...
