After seven long years, the 2018 Punjabi film Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua is finally ready to stream digitally. Viewers who’ve been waiting to watch or re-watch this much-loved comedy can now enjoy it from the comfort of their homes.

When & Where to Stream Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua

Directed by Ksshitij Chaudhary and written by Dheeraj Rattan, the movie features Harish Verma, Simi Chahal, Amrinder Gill, Aditi Sharma, Jaswinder Bhalla, and B.N. Sharma. Chaupal, the streaming giant, recently announced that the movie will be out on their platform for streaming from May 15, 2025 (Via OTTplay).

Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua tells the story of a young couple deeply in love. But there’s one major obstacle — their families have been feuding for years. Fed up with all the drama, the couple decides to elope and start a new life.

The teaser of the upcoming song ‘Tere Bajjon, featuring Bollywood actor Prateik Babbar and Punjabi actress Simi Chahal, was released on Tuesday. The song is about love, the one that can be felt and perceived differently.

Judging from the teaser, the song looks like an emotional rollercoaster with an appealing modern tale about relationships that don’t always transcend to the next level despite the existence of love.

The teaser shows Prateik and Simi’s chemistry, but with a heartfelt conclusion to the narrative of ‘To love is to let go.’

The love track has been crooned by playback singer Shreya Ghoshal. Jatinder Shah has taken the onus for composing the song and directing the video with popular lyricist Kumaar penning the lyrics.

The song is set to hit the airwaves on August 18 under the label of Vyrl Punjabi.

Talking about Prateik, the actor was recently seen in films like...

‘Bloodshot.’ (Photo credit: Columbia Pictures)

Ticket sales at Australian cinemas plunged to a new low last weekend as coronavirus-wary audiences ignored almost all the new releases.

The top 20 titles generated a mere $6.79 million, 25 per cent down on the previous frame, which had been the worst weekend of the year, according to Numero.

This morning exhibitors and distributors were struggling to recall the last time the weekend grosses fell to such a nadir.

Typifying the market’s malaise, only Sony Pictures’ Bloodshot and Universal’s The Invisible Man in week three cracked $1 million.

In the Us, where some cinemas have closed, the estimated weekend take of $US55.3 million was the lowest since 1998.

The government’s ban on gatherings of more than 500 people has not impacted cinemas, at least for now.

Hoyts Cinemas CEO Damian Keogh tells If: “We have no immediate plans to close cinemas but will be guided by government policy.

‘Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.’

As a spin-off, Universal’s Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw was never destined to roar out of the starting blocks with the same velocity as the previous editions of the franchise.

But the opening weekend for the action thriller starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in Australia over-indexed the Us bow and the worldwide tally was a none-too-shabby $179 million.

The top 20 titles generated $17.4 million, a slight 7 per cent dip on the previous weekend, according to Numero. Palace’s French psychological drama/thriller Who You Think I Am proved to be effective counter-programming for non-rev-heads, while Sony’s Chinese firefighting movie The Bravest fared Ok on limited screens.

Rialto’s indie Us drama The Public and Madman Entertainment’s romantic drama Ophelia directed by Aussie Claire McCarthy struggled in line with their Us results.

Directed by David Leitch, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw clocked up $7.2 million,...

‘Defend, Conserve, Protect.’

Disney’s The Lion King roared through its second weekend in Australia as the studio smashed its own annual global box office record set in 2016 last weekend.

Meanwhile Defend, Conserve, Protect, Stephen Amis’ feature doc which examines the long-running campaign to stop Japanese fishermen killing whales in the Southern Ocean, opened on seven screens in limited sessions.

Narrated by Dan Aykroyd and produced by Amis, Sea Shepherd Australia MD Jeff Hansen and Sea Shepherd colleague Omar Todd, the film fetched an estimated $7,200 but had already netted $37,000 from about 40 advance screenings and festivals.

The executive producer, Label Distribution’s Tait Brady, is happy with the reviews and media coverage and says the film will play through the end of the year with screenings for activists and community groups, after which he will negotiate ancillary deals.

He offered the film to several sales agents but they were wary of the anti-whaling stance.
