In this new addition to the great This day That Year feature series, Subhash K Jha turns the focus on Singh Is Kinng which released 17-years-ago and is part of the great Anees Bazmee-Vipul Shah fall out.

This is the appetizing Punjabi thali which could have had several spinoffs, except for the fact that the director Anees Bazmee had a noisy fallout, leaving the Singh without the King, so to speak.

Crocodile Pug-Dundee, anybody?

Dunno if Singh is king with 2 ‘n’s or not. But he sure is entertaining. Damn entertaining. This film is one of those feasts of flurry that leave the on-the-run characters and the audience breathless.

As the ‘happy-go-looking’ Happy Singh who leaves his village in Punjab to look for a colleague who has disappeared into Australia, Akshay is a revelation. He’s strong and vulnerable, funny and tragic. He’s Chaplin and Jim Carrey rolled into one.

Throwback To Arjun Kapoor & Varun Dhawan’s Most Hilarious Banter(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Bollywood actors Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan share a deep bond of friendship and are each other’s supporters. Though they have not shared a screen together, fans love their bromance and funny banter. In one such humorous moment, Arjun once jokingly shared that he thought Akshay Kumar’s Garam Masala was based on Varun Dhawan’s life. Let’s look back at the interesting anecdote and what led Arjun to share the hilarious remark about Varun.

For those unaware, Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor first met at Barry John’s acting school and bonded quickly. During one of their appearances on Yaaron Ki Baarat, Vd shared that he felt betrayed when he learned that Arjun had been...

Looking back, Subhash K Jha re-examines the 2011 action comedy Ready, starring Salman Khan and directed by Anees Bazmi.

Salman Khan and his director, Anees Bazmi, pay a hefty comic homage to Hum Aapke Hain Koun. The Salman-Asin romance unfolds against the backdrop of a commodious joint family where every family member seems determined to have a good time, even at the expense of good taste.

True, Asin lacks the gamine charm of Madhuri Dixit. But then the Salman Khan in Ready is not quite the Salman Khan from Hum Aapke Hain Koun. He hasn’t aged. He’s just become more smug and self-confident and far less vulnerable.

Many times, we catch him looking bored on camera. But that is this iconic star’s style statement. When you are Salman Khan, you can slip out of a character if you want. No one is complaining; Bazmi’s script,...

In 2011, a young actor from Indore blew the audiences’ collective mind with his 12-minute uninterrupted one-take monologue on What Women Want in Pyaar Ka Punchnaama. A star was indeed born. Now after Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Lukka Chuppi and Pati Patni Aur Woh, Kartik Aaryan is considered one of the most boxoffice-friendly actors of the post-Ranbir generation.

Anees Bazmee who directed Kartik in Bhool Bhulaiya 2 and three years later Bhool Bhulaiya 3 says, “I would like to say that he has grown a lot as an actor in two years. But as a person he has not changed at all, he is the same as he was before, and let me tell you he is very hardworking. Stardom hasn’t come easily to him. He works very honestly and I am so happy for his growth and for him. As far as his films are concerned, these two Bhool Bhulaiya...

Did you know that when Thank You did not do well, star Irrfan Khan was heartbroken? — In this edition of This Day That Year, Subhash K Jha takes a look back at the Anees Bazmee directed film released in 2011,

Anees Bazmee’s unsuccessful comedy Thank You, released on April 8, 2011, featured Irrfan Khan along with Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol as guys out to have fun at their wives’ expense.

The film was a huge flop, a rarity in Bazmee’s career. But Irrfan was happy the film gave him a chance to dance alongside Akshay Kumar.

Men, we are told in this thankless comedy, are dogs. They cheat on their wives. And have themselves the time of their lives. And the wives, poor creatures, are so devoted to their spouses they observe the Karva Chauth for their pati-devils even when they have no reason to do so. Such devotion in show motion.

In a conversation with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Mallika shared how her co-stars Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar made her feel special on the sets.

With Iifa honouring Kartik Aaryan with the Best Actor award, and that too for a comedic role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the young actor has come a long way.

For those enamoured of the first two films in the funny-fearsome franchise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is deliberately goofy and silly in some parts. The jaunty anything-goes mood is part of the Franchise’s DNA, and the sooner we accept it, the better.

The Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise is here to stay. It is silly, it is fun, and it is a joyride, though not for those who think cinema is a tool of social reform. What makes the third Bhool Bhulaiyaa film more relevant than the first two is the last half an hour, where, to everyone’s surprise, the writer Akash Kaushik has gone into the subject of crossdressing and alternate sexuality.

And it isn’t just a token concession to the spirit of inclusiveness.

The International Indian Film Academy (Iifa) Weekend & Awards will be celebrating the historic Silver Jubilee edition, a landmark celebration honouring 25 years of Indian cinema’s global legacy.

Director Indra Kumar Reveals How Madhuri Dixit Was Considered “Jinxed” (Photo Credit – YouTube/Instagram)

Madhuri Dixit is one of the most iconic actors in the history of Indian cinema. An icon of grace, beauty, and talent, she ruled Bollywood in the 1990s with her dance moves and charisma. Most recently, she starred as Mandira in Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, proving that age is just a number for her.

However, before her rise to stardom, Madhuri faced significant struggles. During the late ’80s, she was labeled a “jinxed actor,” with several of her films failing at the box office. Many filmmakers hesitated to cast her, believing she was bad luck for their projects. Legendary filmmaker Indra Kumar’s faith in her abilities was a turning point in her career, and the director recently discussed this phase of Madhuri Dixit in an interview with Siddharth Kannan.

Indra Kumar Reveals How...

“The first monster you have to scare the audience with is yourself,” said Wes Craven. While this quote may seem unrelated, it sets the stage for Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024), a film that has little to do with traditional horror but keeps audiences captivated with its mysterious elements and a jaw-dropping plot twist.

Starring Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Tripti Dimri, and Madhuri Dixit, the film offers a fresh perspective on the beloved franchise. In the previous installment, we saw Rooh Baba as a quirky character who could occasionally see ghosts. Now, in the third chapter, he has fully embraced life as a cunning conman. For a 90s kid like me, the original Bhool Bhulaiyaa directed by Priyadarshan and featuring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan remains unmatched in its charm and brilliance as a horror-comedy. However, let’s set nostalgia aside and dive into this latest addition to the iconic franchise.

2024 was filled with a many marvelous movie moments on the big screen. Check out what Subhash K Jha lists as some of the best!

Magic just happens. It happened five times this year on screen.

1. When Vidya Balan & Pratik Gandhi danced to ‘Bin tere sanam’ in Do Aur Do Pyar: Nothing rehearsed about it. When Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi broke into a jig , some of the dance moves especially the signature move derived straight from the lead pair Asif Sheikh and Ruchika Pandey from the 1991 film Yaara Dildara, the song finally got the zingy breezy contagious treatment it deserved.

2. Allu Arjun’s Jathara Dance In Pushpa 2: The Rule : Even the frenzied fans of the Franchise would agree, Allu Arjun’s 21-minute Jathara dance in a Saree was the film’s highlight. The rest of the film ek taraf, this dance of divinity on the other side.

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor has found new creative territory as antagonist Danger Lanka in Rohit Shetty’s “Singham Again,” marking a calculated departure from his traditional leading man roles.

The pic marks the fifth entry in Shetty’s popular cop universe. The franchise – initially based on Hari’s 2010 Tamil-language “Singam,” starring Suriya – kicked off with “Singham” (2011) and “Singham Returns” (2014), both centering on Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn), a straight-arrow Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dcp) from the Goa-Maharashtra border town of Shivgarh. “Simmba” (2018) shifted focus to Sangram “Simmba” Bhalerao (Ranveer Singh), a corrupt inspector from Singham’s hometown. The series expanded further with “Sooryavanshi” (2021), introducing Akshay Kumar as Dcp Veer Sooryavanshi.

“Singham Again” boasts an A-list ensemble including Devgn, Singh, Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jackie Shroff, Tiger Shroff and Kapoor.

Kapoor began his film industry journey behind the scenes, assisting in productions like “Kal Ho Naa Ho” (2003) and “Salaam-e-Ishq” (2007). He...

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Vs Singham Again (Photo Credit – Facebook)

2024 saw a few blockbuster clashes of Hindi films at the box office. From the Independence Day tussle between Khel Khel Mein, Vedaa, and Stree 2 to the Dussehra encounter between Jigra and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, fans had many options for cinema at certain times. However, the most memorable clash of the year certainly has to be Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaaa 3, both of which were released during Diwali.

Singham Again was the latest entry in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe and featured a stellar cast of Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and a cameo from Salman Khan. On the other hand, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 continued the widely loved franchise and featured Kartik Aaryan, Tripti Dimri, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Rajpal Yadav in major roles. While both films were of completely opposite genres,...

Boney Kapoor has now announced the release date of the film, confirming when it will be hitting theaters. He has also opened up about why the original trio of stars will not be returning in No Entry 2.

Boney Kapoor Says No Entry 2 Will Release on Diwali 2025

Boney Kapoor talked about No Entry 2 in a recent interview with News 18. The producer revealed that the movie will go on the floors in June 2025 and will be released theatrically on Diwali, i.e., on October 26, 2025.

Bollywood star Varun Dhawan is embracing the larger-than-life cinema style of South India with his upcoming Christmas release “Baby John,” a film that had him studying the iconic mannerisms of superstar Rajinikanth in preparation for his role.

Speaking with Variety ahead of the film’s December 25 release, Dhawan explains his attraction to the project, which marks a significant departure from his previous work. “I wanted to do something larger than life. I wanted to be that macho hero. I wanted to express my emotions in a certain way, which I guess I was not getting those opportunities here [in Bollywood], or those films are not being made here,” says Dhawan.

Yes, you read that right! The film has fetched extremely low numbers, and below is the detailed collection report.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, the Bollywood thriller was released amid negligible buzz. Just before the release of Singham Again, the official announcement about this film was made, which took everyone by surprise. Reportedly, Bazmee’s thriller was shot and completed in 2004. Due to unknown reasons, it couldn’t make it to theatres for 20 years. So, it was very obvious that the content wouldn’t...

South Indian films pour money into mammoth budget projects like Pushpa 2, Kanguva, Kalki, and many more. Meanwhile, Bollywood needs help to finance ambitious ventures. After Vicky Kaushal and Aditya Dhar’s Ashwatthama and Shahid Kapoor’s film on the same subject were officially shelved, another mythological project now faces abandonment.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Karna, starring Tamil superstar Suriya in the titular role, has been on the back burner for now. The Rang De Basanti and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag director has temporarily halted work on this two-part epic as he struggles to secure the ₹600 crore budget required to produce the film. Mehra still intends to make the film, having spent years researching and developing the screenplay to present the legendary tale of Karna with historical accuracy and grandeur.
