Vikrant Rona Review: Here Is What Audience Has To Say About Kichcha Sudeepa-Starrer

Bengaluru, July 28 - Kichcha Sudeepa's long-awaited Pan India movie "Vikrant Rona" has been released in theaters today (July 28).

Filmmaker Karan Malhotra Breaks His Silence On 'Shamshera' Criticism

Mumbai, July 27 - Yet another Yash Raj Films production bites the dust as period action drama "Shamshera" failed to make any impact at the box office. The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, and Vaani Kapoor, was largely hit by the poor reviews from critics. ## Karan Malhotra directed this biggie which is his 3rd directorial. While his first two films "Agneepath" (2012), and "Brothers" (2015) were commercially successful, the latest film couldn't extend his winning run as it crashed, earning approx. 37 crores net 5 days.## Opening up on the failure of the film, Karan Malhotra has penned a note referring to the character of the film played by Ranbir. While the filmmaker apologies for not speaking up till now, he seems to have been affected by the hate and rage targetting at him and the star cast. Under the hashtag #Shamsheraismine, the filmmaker takes blame for the criticism movie is receiving.## "My withdrawal was my weakness and there are no excuses for it. But now I am here, standing beside you hand in hand feeling proud and honored that you are mine. Will face everything together, the good the bad, and the ugly. The love, the blessings, and the concern that have been showered upon us are the most precious and nobody can take that away from us", Malhotra said in the note. ## Shamshera is mine! #Shamshera #Shamsheraismine pic.twitter.com/MZyCfaeHFB— Karan Malhotra (@karanmalhotra21) July 27, 2022 ## Stay tuned...

Director Destin Daniel Cretton, who has been attached to direct "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty", will return to helm "Shang-Chi 2" while Simu Liu will be reprising the title role. ## 2. Deadpool 3 - Another anticipated Marvel movie that was not announced officially at Cinema-Con but it will come out sometimes in 2024 or 2025.

Spider-Man 4 - Sony Pictures confirmed after the release of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" that they are working on one more Spider-Man trilogy with Tom Holland. It is almost confirmed that the next Spider-Man movie will debut in Phase 6 and is likely to release in late 2024. ## 4. Nova - Earlier this year, Deadline reported that "Moon Knight" writer Sabir Pirzada has been attached to write a Nova project for Marvel. While it is not yet confirmed whether it will be a feature film or a limited series for Disney+, it will surely debut in Phase 6. If reports are to be believed, it will be a feature film. ## 5.

Disney Plus' 'I Am Groot' First Critics' Reactions Are Out Online

'Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings' Director Destin Daniel Cretton To Direct 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty'

Los Angeles, July 27 - Marvel Studios is moving ahead with the new superhero characters along with bringing sequels to a few of its already established comic-book heroes, after the conclusion of MCU's Infinity Saga with "Avengers: Endgame".

Om Raut Inks A Multi-Film Deal With Producer Bhushan Kumar

Mumbai, July 26 - Director Om Raut has signed a multi-film deal with producer Bhushan Kumar's T-Series. The duo is currently working on, probably the biggest film for them, Prabhas-fronted "Adipurush", and it is said that Bhushan Kumar left super impressive with Raut and signed him for more films. ## Om Raut made his Hindi directorial debut with Ajay Devgn's "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior", which was co-produced by T-Series. The film became a massive hit and Om Raut's direction was praised to the top. On top of that, the movie was awarded National Award for Best Film in Providing Wholesome Entertainment along with Devgn winning the Best Actor award. ## The deal between Om Raut and T-Series is said to be existing much before the release of Tanhaji and now, the duo is further strengthening their collaboration by doing more films together. ## It has been reported that Bhushan Kumar has great belief in Om Raut's vision as a filmmaker and has provided him with the budgets that justify the scale of the film. Their second film together, that is "Adipurush", is reportedly the costliest Bollywood film ever with a budget of around 500 crores. The movie is expected to break all the box office records once it comes out in cinemas on January 12, 2023. ## The director, meanwhile, has also reportedly confirmed his deal with the producer, according to Pinkvilla, "Honesty and Loyalty is what matters the most to me. I have built a relationship with Bhushan Ji over a period of time and there's nothing that can break this bond. I am committed to make more films for T Series", Raut said. ## Meanwhile, this latest development has also put breaks on the reports of Raut directing the superhero movie "Shaktimaan". It was recently reported that the makers had approached Raut to direct "Shaktimaan", which was announced earlier this year by Sony Pictures India. Because of the new deal, Raut is unlikely to come on board this mega-budget film. ## Stay tuned...

Marvel Studios' Disney Plus Series 'Moon Knight' Is The Most-Watched International Series of 2022 In India: Ormax Media

Mumbai, July 26 - Marvel Studios' Disney Plus shows dominated the Indian market in the first half of 2022 as far as the international shows are concerned. Ormax Media, which tracks viewership data for the Indian and international streaming titles in India, has released the list of most-watched shows in the first half of 2022 in India. ## The Oscar Isaac-fronted Marvel superhero series Moon Knight scored the highest viewership among the international shows in India in the first half of 2022. The 6-episode series scored 23.4 million views since its debut on March 30. The first episode of the series was released on March 30 on Disney+Hotstar and it ended with the 6th episode on May 4. ## The second most-viewed international show in India also belonged to Marvel/Disney+ in the form of Iman Vellani-headed Ms. Marvel. It scored 16.7 million views till June 30th, after debuting on June 8. "Ms. Marvel" is the highest-rated MCU title (films or shows) on Rotten Tomatoes of all time with a 98% critics score. ## Meanwhile, Netflix's global smash hit Stranger Things season 4, which is the most-watched English show on Netflix of all time, remained the 3rd most-viewed international show in India with 15.8 million views. Season 4 of this sci-fi horror series was released in two parts - the first part of 7 episodes debuted on May 27 while the remaining two episodes in part 2 were released on July 1st.## Since Ormax Media has measured viewership data till June 30th, it is clear that the final two episodes of "Stranger Things 4" were not considered, otherwise, it would have easily topped "Ms. Marvel" to become the second most international show in India. The Boys S3 on Amazon Prime Video finished the first half of 2022 at number 4 with 9.6 million views while the Korean coming-of-age zombie apocalypse horror series All of Us Are Dead remained the 5th most-viewed series in India with 7.8 million views.## Note: Ormax Media's viewership methodology includes the number of people who watched the show (at least one full episode). It does not represent the number of accounts used for watching the show, e.g., three members of a family, or two friends, watching on the same account is considered as a unique audience (3 & 2 respectively, in these examples).## Stay tuned...
