Hollywood Blockbuster 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' Sets Release Date In India

Mumbai, September 1 - One of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters of the year, Everything Everywhere All at Once, starring Michelle Yeoh is finally coming to the Indian theaters. The absurdist comedy-drama is the highest-grossing film for A24 studio with over $100 million worldwide against the budget of $25 million. ## Ever since the film was released in March of this year, the fans in India have been enquiring about its release in the country. And now, the Mumbai-based Impact Films is bringing this film to the Indian audiences and has set September 16, 2022, release date. ## Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" received some high praise from critics and it is one of the serious contenders for the next year's Academy Awards. ## "The film has been passed by CBFC without any cuts thereby ending the reservations and curiosity of several audiences who were worried as to what might get chopped off. It's now the same version that's being watched worldwide", said Ashwani Sharma, CEO, Impact Films. ## "We were very clear right from the beginning that we are going to release this film on big screens rather than going straight to digital platforms as this film is a rare cinematic experience that needs to be enjoyed only in theaters. It's not coming on any OTT anytime soon as we may not license it before Academy Awards nominations are revealed", he added. ## The movie stars Michelle Yeoh as a Chinese American woman being audited by the IRS who discovers that she must connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from causing the destruction of the multiverse. Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., James Hong, and Jamie Lee Curtis appear in supporting roles. ## Legendary actor Michelle Yeoh to be honoured with inaugural #TIFFTribute #ShareHerJourney Groundbreaker Award #TIFF22 Watch her in EEAAO from 16th Sept only in CinemasCheck👉https://t.co/5tdEvokcyt#EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce #EEAAO #drama #MichelleYeoh #Daniels #comingsoon pic.twitter.com/diJ4pcEIbH— Impact Films (@impactfilmindia) September 1, 2022 ## Stay tuned...

Filmmaker Puri Jagannadh Shows Big Heart Again After Dismal Box Office Performance of 'Liger'

Hyderabad, September 1 - Director Puri Jagannadh's long-awaited film Liger, starring Vijay Deverakonda, has proved to be a costly affair for the entire team as he turned out to be a massive disappointment at the box office. ## The sports action drama film was expected to bring a lot of money to the producers and distributors, but things didn't go as per the makers' wish as the distributors will face, at least, a 70% loss from the total investment of around 90 crores worldwide. It is reported that the distributors are in big shock as they invested a lot of money in the hope that it will give them the best return, which is not going to happen. ## However, in a gloomy time for the distributors, director Puri Jagannadh is once again coming to their rescue and taking full responsibility for the film's failure. As per the industry insiders, Puri Jagannadh will compensate Liger distributors and buyers and will meet them in the coming days. ## This is a very nice gesture by the filmmaker who is a well-respected person in the Telugu film industry. He has rescued his distributors in the past as well and now, he is going to do the same. Puri Jagannadh has delivered some of the biggest Telugu blockbusters, and he will be hoping to repeat the same with his next film "JGM", which is also with VD. ## "Liger", produced by Dharma Productions and Puri Connects, has so far grossed approx. 55 crores worldwide, even after taking the biggest opening for VD's career. However, it crashed badly on the second day itself and never revived from thereon, becoming one of the biggest disasters of all time. ## Stay tuned...

Aamir Khan Shares A Heartfelt Video Note Seeking Forgiveness After 'Laal Singh Chaddha' Failure

Mumbai, September 1 - It hasn't been a sweet comeback for Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan as his Laal Singh Chaddha turns out to be a shocker for the actor with its dismal box office performance. Even with over 130 crores worldwide, the movie badly underperformed considering the high stake involved in it. ## "Laal Singh Chaddha" was largely affected by boycott calls from a section of people who claimed to have been hurt by Aamir's past actions through his movies. The actor did apologize before the release and now, after the film's box office failure, Aamir has shared a video note via his production house, seeking forgiveness if he has ever hurt people's sentiments in any form. ## The video note was recorded by someone else's voice, which begins by saying, "Michami Dukkadam" - an ancient Indian Prakrit language phrase which means may all the evil that has been done be in vain". ## "We are all human, and mistakes are made by humans. Sometimes by words, sometimes by actions, sometimes unconsciously, sometimes in anger, sometimes in jest, and sometimes by not talking. If I've ever hurt your heart in any way, I ask for forgiveness from my heart and soul. Michami Dukkadam".## pic.twitter.com/iZXeiRXxFQ— Aamir Khan Productions (@AKPPL_Official) September 1, 2022 ## Directed by Advait Chandan, LSC is a remake of the 1994 American film Forrest Gump which itself is an adaptation of the novel of the same name. The movie is produced by Aamir Khan Productions and Viacom18 Studios and also stars Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya (in his Hindi film debut), and Mona Singh in prominent roles. ## Stay tuned...

Netizens Disappoint As Allu Arjun's Pushpa Raj Craze Hits Ganesh Chaturthi

Mumbai, August 31 - The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are in full swing across the country as devotees are bringing different types of Lord Ganesha idols to their homes to celebrate this 10-day-long festival. Every year, the Ganesh Chaturthi festival brings a lot of excitement and charm as devotees chose different ways to worship their idols, and this year, the festival gets a filmy touch. ## Over the last 8 months, Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" has been in people's talks for various reasons, the character of Pushpa Raj, played by the South superstar has become the most talked about movie character in the country. Interestingly, Pushpa Raj's style is inspiring people to bring Ganesha statues, in which the deity can be seen sitting in a white kurta-pyjama similar to how Allu Arjun wore in the film in his signature hand style of saying "jhukega nahi". ## However, this latest trend among the Lord Ganesha devotees is not being liked by many people who call this an insult to the elephant-headed God. Have a look at some of the tweets, disapproving of this trend of celebrating the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. ## Allu Arjun craze hits Ganesh Chaturthi.But that's not at all fair.
