Shimit Amin’s Chak De India, known universally as Chak De, released on August 10 in 2007, was never meant to be the blockbuster that it was. The first trailer, introducing all the members of Shah Rukh Khan’s hockey team, was a disaster. But then, we all know what happened when the film released. Salman Khan was the original choice for the coach Kabir Khan’s role in Shimit Amin’s Chak De.

There are many theories as to why Salman opted out. One theory goes that he asked Producer Aditya Chopra for too much money and they never worked together until Ek Tha Tiger when Salman got exactly the amount he wanted. Another theory is that Salman wanted some changes in the script which Director Shimit Amin refused. Shah Rukh Khan stepped in and the rest was history.Shah Rukh had played hockey and his passion for the game remained.

Abhishek Bachchan Quit College To Help Amitabh Bachchan During Debt Crisis ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

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.

Anand Bakshi remains the most successful lyricist of Hindi cinema. He came to Hindi cinema in 1956 but found real success as a lyricist in 1965 with Jab Jab Phool Khile in which every song composed by Kalyanji-Anandji from ‘Yeh samaa samaa hai yeh pyar ka’ to ‘Pardesiyon se na aankhiya milana’ was a superhit.

It was composer Kalyanji-Anandji who introduced Bakshi to Lata Mangeshkar. She remembered him as a poet of many talents who composed many superhit songs credited to professional composers. When I had asked Lataji to name some of these songs ghost-composed by Anand Bakhi, she demurred. “When Bakshi Saab never spoke about the songs he had ghost-composed, why should I?”

Anand Bakshi had a storehouse of Punjabi numbers from his childhood. Many of the superhit Punjabi-styled songs he wrote were secretly composed by him. He had a vast knowledge of music and songs. In fact, he was keen...

War 2 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2025. Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr Ntr in the lead roles, the film is scheduled to release next month. The film is enjoying solid buzz on the ground level and has the potential to break every single Bollywood record.

Subhash K Jha, in a new installment of This Day That Year, speaks about Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, which starred Alis Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, as it clocks 11 years.

As you sit cross-eyed and tense waiting for the young lovers in Ambala to sort out the mess in matters of the heart, you wonder how many rip-offs, homages, tributes and remakes of Aditya Chopra’s Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge we would have to bear through before this….errr…classic is put to rest.

It may be sacrilegious to say this. But Ddlj in my humble opinion is hardly the stuff classics are made of. It had its moments of glory…Oh yes! But a repeatedly recycled classic? Nah! That’s going too far. Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (Hskd) takes the Raj and Simran characters, shakes and stirs them and turns them on their head. Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, two...

Saiyaara Trailer Review Ft Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda Out!(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Ahaan Panday is raising my hopes with every new promo of his Bollywood debut. The official trailer of Saiyaara was released a few minutes ago, and I’m rooting for this love story! Mohit Suri is striking chords with the new generation while also attracting the old-school crowd with interesting elements to look forward to. Scroll below for our detailed trailer review.

Decoding the Saiyaara trailer

The 2-minute and 43-second-long trailer begins with a dig at casting directors and talent acquisition groups for hiring content creators because of their huge fan base. Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a budding singer, joins hands with lyricist, Vaani (Aneet Padda). Their collaboration is a chartbuster, but things turn upside down as they fall in love and hit rock bottom. It’s all about their heartbreaking tale and how beautifully Mohit Suri narrates the aftermath.

Subhash K Jha looks back at the Imran Khan-Sonam Kapoor I Hate Luv Storys in the new edition of his feature series This Day That Year. Released 15 years ago, the film was produced by Karan Johar and directed by Punit Malhotra, who talks about the making of the film.

I really love love stories even if it is spelt as ‘luv-storys’. But debutant director Punit Malhotra’s I Hate Luv Storys (Ihls) just proves an over-sassy, under-written, rudderless out-of-control disappointment, coming as it does from Karan Johar production house which during the same time gave us two films by debutant directors , Rensil D’Silva’s Kurbaan and Ayan Mukerji’s Wake Up Sid, which made a difference to the way we look at contemporary commercial cinematic entertainment.

I Hate Luv Storys (Ihls) is neither romantic enough nor cynical in sufficient measures about romantic cinema. Neither mushy nor tongue-in-cheek, the...

Mohit shares a spectacular musical journey with Mithoon spanning for over 2 decades now. They started their collaboration in 2005 when they did Zeher & Kalyug. For 20 years, Mithoon & Mohit have worked on the biggest film music albums of our times, and now they have once again created music magic for Saiyaara.

Speaking about his spectacular musical journey with Mithoon spanning for over 2 decades now, Mohit says, “Mithoon and my collaboration go back to 2005 when we did Zeher & Kalyug. It’s been 20 years of knowing Mithoon, creating music with him and cherishing the brilliant mind that he has. Since 2005, Mithoon and I have worked on Murder 2,...

The romance genre is primed for a comeback in Bollywood, and director Mohit Suri believes his upcoming film “Saiyaara” could be the catalyst.

The anticipated Hindi-language romantic drama marks the first collaboration between Yash Raj Films (Yrf) and Suri.

“Romance as a genre is waiting to deliver and it should happen with ‘Saiyaara,'” says Suri, who celebrates his 20th year in cinema with the project. The film has already generated significant buzz with its teaser and hit songs.

“Saiyaara” launches Ahaan Panday as a Yrf hero, with the studio handpicking Aneet Padda – who captured hearts with her acclaimed performance in “Big Girls Don’t Cry”- as their next leading lady.

For Suri, whose romantic filmography includes “Aashiqui 2,” “Awarapan,” and “Hamari Adhuri Kahani,” the project represents a return to his roots. “For me, romance is a genre that I love the most maybe because I have always been...
