In the world of television and cinema, actors often face challenges that test their patience, both on-screen and off-screen. Among them is Ridhi Dogra, the talented actress who has proved her mettle in daily soaps, reality shows, web series, music videos, and films. She is most famous for her roles as Nusrat in Asur, Priya in Star Plus’s Maryada, and Jailer Kaveri in Jawaan.

However, her journey hasn’t been without its share of struggles. A prominent face in Indian television, she recently opened up about an incident from her earlier days in the industry. During an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the actress revealed a disheartening experience where a director’s comment left her questioning her worth. However, she did not let the remark take over her mind and instead stood up for herself in front of the director.

Nayanthara, known as the Lady Superstar in Kollywood is a well-known actress with a remarkable career and significant influence in the industry. She has been in a relationship with director Vignesh Shivan for about seven years and the couple got married in 2022.

Despite her busy schedule, Nayanthara prioritizes spending time with her children. She and Vignesh recently took their children on a trip to China where they celebrated their second wedding anniversary. However what’s more interesting is that in a recent interview, Nayanthara shared a surprising incident from her past about some difficult moments she experienced while living in an apartment near Egmore, Chennai.

What makes Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan such a pricey fiasco is its attempts at doing a posh anti-terror action film that never reaches anywhere near its intended target.

The film has some elaborate action sequences including a flashback in which the two heroes rescue the Indian ambassador from a terror camp where everyone is busy watching Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda in the original 1998 Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

I wish I was too. What was considered an awful film back then now seems a bit of fun when compared with the self-important fireworks of Zafar’s film of the same title where some of the highlights include Akshay and Tiger’s bromance . There is little here to remind us that once upon a time, Akshay had shared a rather endearing bonding with Saif Ali Khan in Main Anari Tu Khiladi.

Here is it all about oneupmanship. And...

These days, Shah Rukh Khan remains in the limelight more for his social media posts than his films. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan reacted to Allu Arjun’s son Allu Ayaan’s dance performance. Now, Shahrukh Khan has shared his new look. In this look,...

Shah Rukh Khan's 4-year acting break allowed him to spend more time with his kids and recharge, leading to a successful comeback. Khan's comeback films, Pathaan and Jawaan, became commercial and critical successes, revitalizing Bollywood as a whole. Khan's box office draw remained strong despite initial speculation, proving that audiences missed seeing him on the big screen.

Shah Rukh Khan took an unexpected 4-year acting pause for good reason, and despite his long time away from the screen, his comeback managed to be incredibly successful. Khan has been one of the biggest players in the Bollywood space for decades and is well known for his strong acting range that has allowed him to play everything from emotional, love-sick characters to vengeful, thrill-seeking ones. His break could have ended up being catastrophic for his career, but it had the complete opposite result. His comeback films, Pathaan and Jawaan, became commercial...

Dunki

Why, Hirani, why? What prompted him to make this godforsaken misfire? What has happened to the brilliant flair for farce and social comment he once displayed in Munnabhai Mbbs and its even superior sequel Lage Raho Munnabhai? Hirani’s last work Sanju , which was a cream-cracker version of a stubbornly adventurous life, was mired in mediocrity. But at least it wasn’t dull.

Dunki is dreadfully torpid. In terms of sense and sensibility , coherence and basic common sense, it is a better film than Shah Rukh Khan’s two other films Pathaan and Jawaan this year. But that’s no consolation for the absurd writing(Hirani, Abhijat Joshi and Kanika Dhillon) and endless giggle-moments that just don’t land.

Worst still, the “jokes” go on and on like a stand-up act which clearly has no punchline but goes on in the hope that rapid movement would compensate for abysmal humourlessness.

Former Disney India head and leading producer Siddharth Roy Kapur has warned of some practices that could arise in making films for streamers.

Delivering the keynote address at the Jio Mami Mumbai Film Festival’s Industry Connect Symposium on Monday, Kapur, who is currently basking in the success of International Emmy nominated series “Rocket Boys” for streamer SonyLIV, lauded the positives brought to the industry by the platforms but also pointed out the pitfalls.

Speaking about films made for theatrical release, Kapur said that while the recoupment for them in the government funded European industries might be a Cannes slot, in India it is monetary as well. “I have to say that at times, we shy away from it. And we say that it’s cinema, it’s art, why should one really have to look at that if you’re trying to make arthouse or independent movies? But I...

Mumbai, Aug 11 (Ians) He’s charming, intelligent and at the same time, super funny. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s reply to fans are hard to miss as he gives epic responses to the most absurd questions.

In his latest Ask Me Anything session, fans had a lot to ask about his upcoming film ‘Jawaan’ but also had a sprinkle of bizarre questions that can tickle the funny bone.

A user during the session asked the King of Romance: “Sir ji ladki kaisai pataye kuch tips dijiye.”

To which, Srk said: “Pehla sabak yeh ‘patana patana’ mat bolo accha nahi lagta. #Jawan”

One was curious to know about his electricity bill, to which the ‘Jawan’ star replied: “Humare ghar me pyaar ka noor phaila hua hai. Ussi se Roshini hoti hai….bill nahi aata. #Jawan.”

A user wanted Srk to give “gaali” if not reply to him.

Shah Rukh Khan, the king of Bollywood, has once again proved his versatility and charisma by choreographing his own dance moves for his upcoming film Jawan. The actor, who plays a ruthless gangster in the action thriller, surprised everyone by grooving to the classic Tamil song Paattu Paadava in one of the scenes.

The song, which was originally sung by P. Susheela for the 1967 film Thillana Mohanambal, has been recreated by composer A.R. Rahman for Jawan. The catchy tune and the energetic lyrics perfectly match Srk’s character, who is seen celebrating his victory over his rivals.

But what makes the scene even more memorable is the way Srk dances to the song, with his own improvised steps that capture the essence of his role. The actor, who is known for his romantic and graceful moves in his previous films, has shown a different side of his talent...

Viduthalai Part 1, the Tamil crime thriller directed by Vetrimaaran and starring Soori, Vijay Sethupathi and Bhavani Sre, was one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful films of 2023. The film, based on the short story “Thunaivan” by B. Jeyamohan, follows the story of Kumaresan, a police constable who is recruited to capture Perumal “Vaathiyar”, the elusive leader of a separatist group called Makkal Padai. The film ends with a cliffhanger, leaving the audience eager to know what happens next.

The makers of Viduthalai have announced that the shooting for Part 2 has resumed in Sirumalai today, after being halted due to the pandemic. The film is expected to release in early 2024, according to producer Elred Kumar of Rs Infotainment. The sequel will continue the story of Kumaresan and Vaathiyar, and explore their complex relationship and ideologies. The film will also feature Gautham Vasudev Menon, Rajiv Menon and Ilavarasu in supporting roles.

Thalapathy Vijay has finished shooting his portions for the upcoming Tamil action film Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The director took to Twitter to share a picture with the actor and thanked him for making the second outing a special one. Leo is the second collaboration between Vijay and Lokesh after the blockbuster Master (2021).

It showcases the Srk we missed, the Srk we never saw, and the Srk film we all wanted. It is a beautiful, magnificent, and epic spectacle that promises to be a blockbuster.

The first half of 2023 has been a dismal period for Malayalam cinema, as only two out of 56 releases have made profits from theatres. The rest of the films either failed to recover their costs or depended on other sources of revenue such as digital, satellite and overseas rights. The only exception was 2018 Movie, a disaster film based on the Kerala floods, which became a huge hit and the most profitable Malayalam film ever.

The main reason for the poor performance of Malayalam films was the lack of quality content and effective promotions. Most of the films that released in theatres were poorly made and did not have anything to attract the audiences. The Ott platforms also forced a theatrical release for their acquisitions, which resulted in cluttering the screens with mediocre films.
