Mumbai, Dec 14, 2021: Today completes 20 years of one of the historic hits of this generation "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham" which was released exactly 20 years ago on 14 December 2001. The ensemble multi-starrer family drama is considered one of the biggest multi-starrer ever made on the Indian-theatrical screens. ## The film featured 3 major stars and although Amitabh Bachchan was past his box office domination days, his popularity remained untouched and he was among the most popular stars of that time. The film also had the current sensation, Hrithik Roshan, the first time sharing the screen with Shah Rukh Khan who was a major established star from the mid-90s. ## Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham had a huge pre-release hype due to its casting and music and as a result, the film took an earth-shattering opening. The film had broken the previous highest opening day record held by Sunny Deol's actioner Indian by more than 30% margin. The film also went on to become record weekend and first week numbers. ## But at those times, the numbers were not about the first weekend and first week which can make the film a blockbuster like today, but about holding the business for more than 10 weeks after a good initial, to get a Blockbuster verdict which eventually the film had done and emerged an outright Blockbuster. ## Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham was the 2nd biggest grosser of the year after Sunny Deol's Historic All-Time Blockbuster - Gadar Ek Prem Katha and overall remained one of the Biggest Blockbusters of the decade (2000-2009). ## The film was the 2nd Blockbuster for Hrithik Roshan and both were big ones along with Kaho Na Pyar Hai (2000). For Shah Rukh Khan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham was his 7th Blockbuster along with Darr(1993), Karan Arjun(1995), Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge(1995), Dil Toh Paagal Hai(1997), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai(1998), and Mohabbtein(2000). It was 2nd Blockbuster film for Amitabh Bachchan in Character roles after Mohabbtein. ## Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was never seen before phenomenon overseas breaking every existing record by huge margins and setting new records which took many years to get broken. It was the top overseas earner of the year but that just does not describe the euphoria it created overseas. ## Adjusted To Inflation, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham will be more than 350cr with the 2019 average ticket price in domestic business. The film was Karan Johar's directorial who scored consecutive blockbusters with Shah Rukh Khan with Mohabbtein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.

Sooryavanshi Is Not Finished Yet

Mumbai, December 13 - Rohit Shetty's "Sooryavanshi" is turning out to be a true box office monster. There have been many films in the past that died down after the first week itself, and then, there is "Sooryavasnhi", which is into its 6th week and still going strong despite limited shows. ## The covid-19 pandemic has posed many challenges in front of the Indian film industry, especially Bollywood. There haven't been many theatrical releases in the last 18 months or so and those released didn't perform up to their potential. Honestly, there haven't been any audience-appealing films that could have forced people to visit theaters. ## However, things changed after the second covid-19 wave as Bollywood decided to step ahead. While many films are still not performing to their potential (not bad either), Sooryavanshi has been exceptional on every front. This Akshay Kumar-starrer was Bollywood's best foot forward to bring the industry back to its strong feet, and not surprisingly, it has performed like that at the box office. ## Released over Diwali weekend, "Sooryavanshi" has had a free run at the box office for at least two weeks and it took full advantage of that by earning over Rs. 165 crores. It is the first Rs. 100 crore Bollywood grosser at the domestic box office during the pandemic. It was expected TBH since it had a star element attached to it, plus, it was mass appealing, which helped it to perform significantly well on single screens. ## After finishing two weeks' run, there was a big challenge for "Sooryavanshi" to carry the momentum because of the new release in form of "Bunty Aur Babli 2" (Nov. 19), and then "SMJ2" (Nov. 25), and "Antim: The Final Truth" (Nov. 26). "Sooryavanshi" passed that challenge with flying colors and netted Rs. 18.68 crores in the 3rd week, followed by Rs. 6.43 crores in the 4th week. And this all happened with Maharasthra cinemas operating with 50% occupancy. ## The 4th week was probably the toughest for "Sooryavanshi" as it had to compete with two mass-oriented films at the box office. It not only rose through that challenge but also maintained that momentum in the 5th week as well as 6th weekend despite new releases in the form of "Tadap" and "Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui". ## "Sooryavanshi" will most probably be finished around Rs. 197 crores India net from the current total of Rs. 195.04 crores after 38 days. The box office run of "Sooryavanshi" might be coming to its end but it has shown the way to the rest of the films. It clearly refused to die down when challenges were thrown to it. This film has booked its name in history which will tell the tale of the films that revived the film industry during the health crisis. ## Worldwide, "Sooryavasnhi" has grossed a little over Rs. 292 crores. ## Stay tuned...

Rohit Shetty Opens On The Sequels To Bol Bachchan

Mumbai, Dec 13, 2021: The Director who just delivered a huge money-spinner in the form of Sooryavanshi has just revealed his future line-up of films. While Sooryavanshi is still rolling in the moolah at the box office and all eyes are next on Singham 3 after the not-so-subtle hint dropped by Ajay Devgn during the climax of the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer. ## However, along with Singham 3 and even Golmaal 5, there are other hit Rohit Shetty movies that are ripe for sequels. So, to get the latest update on what could be but has never been announced, a source got in touch with the blockbuster filmmaker for an exclusive interview where he finally opened up on the possibility of sequels to All The Best and Bol Bachchan. ## Opening up on whether we could ever get an All the Best 2 or a Bol Bachchan 2, Director Rohit Shetty said, “No, I'll have on to stress on the fact that these two years (the COVID-19 and subsequent lockdown phase, where theatres and the industry were affected for almost one and half year), there was a lot of pressure (thinking only about Sooryavanshi. However, even before these two years, I never thought (about sequels to them). This lineup (for his cop universe and Golmaal franchise) is our old lineup, which we are now clearing.” ## Refuting speculation that Singham 3 revolves around Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, he added, “Even I've heard that the story is out, even though I don't know what the story is – that Singham 3 is being made on Article 370, which even I don't know. We have a basic idea for the story, but I can understand (the reports coming out) because of the rage created by Sooryavanshi, so everyone is talking about Singham. However, there's a lot of time for it...if you see, there's at least one year left for Singham (3) to begin. It won't start before a year (from now. So, there's a lot of time.” ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.

Blast From The Past: 41 Years Of Shaan

Mumbai, Dec 12, 2021: If a film of any director turns out to be a good film and it becomes a huge hit, then obviously the expectations of the audience increase from that director's next film. Not only the director but also the next movies of the main stars associated with that film expect the audience to be better than the previous film. ## I have written these lines because the film that we will talk about today had similar expectations from the audience to the distributors. Today we will talk About the film "Shaan", produced by P. Sippy and directed by his son Ramesh Sippy, released on 12 December 1980. ## Everyone knows that "Sholay" was directed by Ramesh Sippy. Perhaps no cinema lover would be unaware of the box office records of "Sholay". This film proved to be a milestone in the Hindi film industry. The film set such records that an era is counted in the Hindi film industry as a pre-Sholay and a post-Sholay era. ## "Sholay" was also a big-budget film and was made in around 3 crores. Yes, G. P. Sippy and Ramesh Sippy knew very well that now after "Sholay", what are the people's expectations from them, so there was a plan to make "Shaan" on a very big level in every department. ### After the record-breaking box office success of "Sholay", this film was also expected to garner the same success as "Sholay". The makers of the film did a lot of publicity before its release. Big posters of the film were put up in many cities with the words "The Greatest Show on Earth". A similar poster was put up at Minerva Cinema in Mumbai. “Shaan” was replacing Sippy’s previous film “Sholay” after 5 years in Minerva cinema. ## This was happening in cinemas in many other cities. The film's villain's tremendous look, tremendous star cast, gorgeous action sequences, melodious music, item song, and tremendous publicity created such a hype that the booking of the film went up to 2 crores 80 lakhs. This was the biggest advance till that time. The film was released and the film initially made bumper collections. The first week's collections of this film in Mumbai were almost 100%. ## But due to poor mouth publicity of the film, the collections slowly came down. The second-week collections were 89% in Mumbai and 78% in the third week. This film was made on Sholay's double budget of about 6 crores. Due to the bumper success of Sippy's previous film Sholay, the All India Rights of this film was bought by the distributors for about 10.75 crores. Ultimately the distributors suffered a loss of about 3 crores. ## The film was re-released in digital print in April 2005 by Sippy to mark its 25th anniversary. Overall, the film earned a net of around 4.25 crores in India. The gross of the film was eight and a half crores and it was the fifth highest-grossing movie of that year. The first four places were Kurbani, Asha, Ram Balram, and Dostana respectively. ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.

The film starred Shah rukh khan in a leading role and it was a debut film of heroine Anushka Sharma who went on to become a big actress in upcoming years. ## Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was directed by Aditya Chopra who earlier directed Shah Rukh Khan in Blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge and Mohabbatien and hence the expectation was for another Blockbuster film which it became eventually. ## The film was a simple desi-rooted love story so the craze for the film was not like previous Shah rukh khan's love stories like Om Shanti Om and Veer Zaara but the music of the film scored hugely and became chartbuster. As a result, the film was a slow starter in the morning but picked up huge from evening onwards on its opening day. The final first-day figure of the film was 3rd highest of its year behind Ghajini and Singh Is King. ## The audience word-of-mouth was very positive and on the strength of that, the film had an excellent first weekend and first week numbers. The film also emerged the record first week for the industry and the top overseas earner of the year. ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.

Remembering The Legend Dilip Kumar!

Mumbai, Dec 11, 2021: Today is the birth anniversary of one of the greatest legends the Hindi film industry had ever produced - Dilip Kumar. ## Dilip Kumar started his tinsel town journey in 1944 with Jwar Bhata but his first major success came in 1947 when Jugnu opposite Noor Jehan did excellent business and emerged as the biggest grosser of the year. The success of Jugnu made Dilip Kumar a star. ## Due to the sudden death of the then Box office God - K.L. Sehgal, Dilip Kumar become the Top star in just two years with 2 Back to Back HGOTY - Jugnu (1947) & Shaheed (1948), and from there on this phenomenal star never turned back. It was one horse race till 1961 and this period was filled by Historic Grossers like Andaz (1949), Aan (1952), Naya Daur (1957), and the Biggest of them all Mughal-e-Azam (1960) and Ganga Jamuna (1961). ## Dilip Kumar with Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand formed the 1st Golden troika of Bollywood (The khans came many letters) and it is the former who gave competition to Dilip Kumar. Raj Kapoor literally eclipsed Dilip Kumar in the year 1949 with two back-to-back Bombastic Blockbusters - Andaz and Barsaat. ## Awara in 1951 emerged as the Biggest industry grosser and the competition just heated up on the professional front. But the consistency was missing from the filmography of Raj Kapoor and it was the consistency that made Dilip Kumar bigger than the rest. On the other hand, Dev Anand was going good with hits but huge all-India Blockbusters were missing from his repertoire. ## Dilip Kumar made an astonishing comeback in his 2nd innings and it could be said that no actor was as big as Dilip Kumar comparing only 2nd innings. Dilip Kumar gave some of the Biggest Blockbusters of the 80s Decade in the form of Kranti (1981) which become the highest-grossing film of the year. ## It was followed by Vidhata which was also huge in scale and become HGOTY. Karma (1986) was centered around the thespian and again he gave the highest-grossing film of the year. ## As an Actor and with regards to acting skills Dilip Kumar is the greatest among them all. In fact, this shall be an understatement. It would be worth mentioning that Dilip Kumar was the greatest of all the Bollywood actors to date. He was considered to be the first Method Actor not just in India but in the world. ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.
