Laal Singh Chaddha Review: Here Is What Public Has To Say

Mumbai, August 11 - Aamir Khan returns to the big screen after almost 4 years with comedy drama Laal Singh Chaddha, which has been released in theaters today. The Advait Chandan-directed film is the official remake of Tom Hanks's classic Hollywood blockbuster, Forrest Gump (1994). ## Laal Singh Chaddha follows the events in India's history unfold through the perspective of Laal Singh Chaddha (Aamir Khan), a dim-witted man who has a great understanding of emotions. Ahmad Ibn Umar plays Young Laal in the movie that also stars Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya (in his Hindi film debut), and Mona Singh in key roles. ## The movie had its premiere yesterday night for the film fraternity and media people. Have a look at what they have to say about the film. ## #OneWordReview...#LaalSinghChaddha: DISAPPOINTS.Rating: ⭐️⭐️#AamirKhan’s comeback vehicle #LSC runs out of fuel midway… Lacks a captivating screenplay to enthrall you [second half goes downhill]… Has some terrific moments, but lacks fire in totality. #LaalSinghChaddhaReview pic.twitter.com/rTuYfJT629— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) August 11, 2022 ## #AamirKhan's passion is visible in every frame of #LaalSinghChaddha.

Opening Day Box Office Prediction For Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' and Akshay Kumar-Fronted 'Raksha Bandhan'

Mumbai, August 10 - There is a lot depending on the upcoming two Bollywood biggies - Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan, as far as the box office is concerned. It would have been nice if they have got a solo release, but that is not happening as both the movies are releasing on August 11. ## Laal Singh Chaddha, which stars superstar Aamir Khan in the title role, is the biggest movie this month and the industry is expecting it to perform according to the reputation it is carrying. However, the advance booking trend is saying something else which might have forced the industry to lower their expectations, at least for the opening day. ## It would have been a huge surprise to see an Aamir Khan's film not able to pick in advance sales. However, things have changed post-pandemic as the trend of box office openings post-pandemic has largely been on the lower side. Irrespective of the star power, Bollywood films haven't been able to take the big opening except for Akshay Kumar's, Sooryavanshi, which opened to over 26 crores on Diwali 2021. ## Laal Singh Chaddha, which has so far grossed approx. 3.50 crores in advance sales, is looking to open around 12-13 crores. The movie will depend on word of mouth, and we are expecting it to be positive which might push the film to around 15 crores net start. The 15 crores opening is not at all good by the standard Aamir has set, but the industry should take it in a positive way as it is having a clash with another big film, that too under current circumstances. ## On the other hand, Akshay Kumar-fronted, Raksha Bandhan is not really dependent upon the advance booking trend and will largely rely on spot bookings. The makers have promised the revive the family drama genre with this Anand L Rai-directorial and the inside reports are also super positive. ## Raksha Bandhan, which is having a perfect Holiday release, matching the vibes of the Raksha Bandhan festival, is very much on track to open around Akshay Kumar's last film, Samrat Prithviraj. Going by the advance booking, the 8-9 crores opening is a sure shot, but we are expecting it to have a better spot booking, which, hopefully, will help the film to open around 10-11 crores net. ## The best thing for both the movies is that they have a long holiday weekend ahead. So, if the critics' reviews and word of mouth is positive, both LSC and RB have all the potential to grow over the weekend, which is likely to happen. In combination, the Bollywood industry can expect 23-25 crores against its overestimated 30 crores net. ## Stay tuned...

Filmmakers Are Making OTT A Challange To Cinema, Says Aamir Khan

Mumbai, August 8 - Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who is gearing up for the release of his most-awaited comedy-drama film Laal Singh Chaddha, said that the digital platforms are not a challenge to big screen cinema but the filmmakers are making it a challenge to the cinema. ## Aamir was recently in Chennai for the promotions of Laal Singh Chaddha. During an interview with Galatta, the superstar spoke about what the Indian film industry needs to do to save cinema. It is a well-known fact that Aamir is a huge ambassador of big screens cinema and his upcoming movie is also designed for the big screen only. ## During the covid-19 pandemic, many films opted for a short theatrical window which has largely backfired. Aamir said that the industry must understand that to save cinema, there must be a bigger gap between theatrical release and OTT premiere. ## The actor went on to say that the industry is not putting effort to bring the audiences to the theaters by keeping a short theatrical window. He said that when a movie will come to OTT within 4 weeks, how can filmmakers expect the audience to come to theaters to watch movies. ## Adding further, the PK actor said that the industry should give a clear choice to the audience that if they want to watch the film on OTT then they have to wait for 6 months. Making a valid point, Aamir said that if the movie is good and being appreciated, then the audience will feel that they should not miss it if the theater window is 6 months. ## For economical and time reasons, films can't come on OTT so fast. If they do, cinema will stand no chance. It's in our hands, we have to decide. My film won't come to OTT for 6 months. Either watch my film in the theater or wait for 6 months, he added.## Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha also stars Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya (in his Hindi film debut), and Mona Singh. It is scheduled to release on August 11 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar's 'Raksha Bandhan' Promises To Revive Bollywood Family Drama Genre

Mumbai, August 4 - There was a time in Bollywood when the family drama genre used to be the center attraction of the films. But with the introduction of new age cinema, the family drama genre has somehow lost its magic and there have hardly been such films nowadays expected a few in the last decade or so. ## The upcoming Bollywood film, Raksha Bandhan is one such film that revolves around family values and the emotional bond between siblings. The Bollywood family drama peaked with the films like "Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!" (1994) and "Vivak" (2006) - and "Raksha Bandhan" promises to revive this genre in a big way. ## Directed by Anand L Rai, "Raksha Bandhan" deals with the burning issue of dowry among Indian families. Set in the Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi, the film follows Akshay Kumar, who runs a street food shop, the third generation of his family to do so. He plays a role of a brother whose primary concern is getting his four sisters married, and at the same time, dealing with the problem of dowry.## During a recent interview with Variety, the "Padman" actor said, "Dowry is a big problem in India, and many other places also. The best part about the film is, that it not only talks about the problem, but it also talks about the solution". He added, "This is not a preachy film. It's a very commercial cinema, which has five songs. It has lots of humor. And it teaches you about family values".## Anand L Rai said, "In Raksha Bandhan, there is a lot of hunger — hunger to come out with Indian values, hunger to depict the culture, hunger to talk about the bonding, the relationships, which are there with us, we've not gone insensitive towards them, but somehow they've taken a back seat, we don't talk about it. Let me bring all those emotions to the forefront, which we have unknowingly sidelined".## The filmmaker believes that the modern generations leaving in metro cities don't know what was a joint family, so it is important to make such films to let the young generation know about the old sentiment of living together as a family. ## Produced by Zee Studios, Colour Yellow Productions, and Cape of Good Films, "Raksha Bandhan" reunites Bhumi Pednekar with Akshay Kumar after the critically acclaimed and box office hit "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha". The movie, which is scheduled to release on August 11, also stars Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, and Smrithi Srikanth in prominent roles. ## Stay tuned...

Aamir Khan Reveals Why He's Not In Hurry To Release 'Laal Singh Chaddha' On OTT

Mumbai, August 3 - The anticipation around Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha is building up as the release is getting nearer. The movie will have a theatrical release on August 11 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages. ## "Laal Singh Chaddha" will have enough to perform at the box office as Aamir Khan is in no hurry to bring the film to OTT anytime soon. While most of the Bollywood films post-pandemic have opted for a 4-week theatrical window, "Laal Singh Chaddha" will be released on OTT only after 6 months of theatrical release. ## The superstar, in a recent interview, revealed why is not in hurry to bring the film to a digital platform. "One of the reasons primarily I think the curiosity of going to theaters has reduced because films come on OTT right after they come in theaters, they come on OTT very fast".## "So I have always tried to keep a 6-month gap for my films. I don't know what the industry follows, but I like to keep a 6-month gap. So that’s what I tried to do for all my films and up till now, we have managed that", he added. ## Aamir is right in what he thinks about changing the mindset of the producers and moviegoers. Theater owners across the country have been speaking against this current model and have been asking for at least 8 weeks gap between theatrical and OTT releases of films. There are reports that Bollywood has finally agreed to keep the 8-week theatrical window from August 1st. ## Meanwhile, the trailer of "Laal Singh Chaddha" is receiving love from all quarters. The audience is looking forward to seeing Aamir Khan depict the life journey of Laal Singh Chaddha. It is produced by Aamir Khan Productions and Viacom18 Studios with Paramount Pictures and also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni. ## Stay tuned...
