Kangana Ranaut: “What you do in the world is your identity, not what you do in bed”

The 2023 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival became a huge platform for South Asian artists to take over the stage and enthral music-goers.

Yash Raj Films’ debut film Daag-A Poem of Love hits 50!

The words, “Yash Raj Films” were first seen on screen in the credit titles in Daag: A Poem of Love , which released on April 27, 1973—that is exactly 50 years ago. The film became the third-highest grosser of that plentiful year for Hindi cinema, next only to the record-smashing Bobby and the trendsetting Zanjeer and ahead of other blockbusters like Yaadon Ki Baraat and Jugnu . This was the first film of Yash Chopra as producer. His sixth film as director and fifth success after his 1959 directorial debut, Dhool Ka Phool , it also had Yash Chopra writing the screenplay along with the then-top writer, novelist Gulshan Nanda, who also penned the story. Few then, including Yash Chopra himself, could have foretold that in the next half-century, despite some setbacks off and on, the banner would become the Numero Uno film production company in the country. Yash Chopra had merely decided to break away and become independent without remaining as a shadow to elder brother, B.R. Chopra a

Delhi High Court orders social media platforms to take down leaked clips of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan

With the release of Pathaan in January 2023, Shah Rukh Khan gave a much-needed boost to cinemas. The actor is soaring high on the success of the film. With that being said, he has two more releases this year – Jawan and Dunki. In recent times, many clips of the Atlee Kumar directorial have surfaced online in which Shah Rukh Khan was shooting a song with Nayanthara and Deepika Padukone, respectively. Even leaked clips of alleged teaser have also surfaced online. Following a string of leaked content, Delhi High Court on Tuesday ordered social media platforms, Cable TV platforms, rogue websites, direct-to-home services and ‘John Doe’ defendants to take down the leaked content and refrain from committing copyright infringement of Jawan .

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Box Office: Salman Khan starrer collects well on Monday, should enter Rs. 100 Crore Club this week itself

After playing in theatres for 4 days, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has crossed Rs. 75 crores milestone. The film has done well over the weekend to gather Rs. 68.17 crores and now on Monday there has been good hold demonstrated, as a result of which double digit score has come in. This was expected as well from the film, especially when Saturday and Sunday were fantastic with more than Rs. 25 crores coming on both the days. Hence, it would have been rather surprising had the collections slid below the Rs. 10 crores mark. This is the reason why Monday numbers of Rs. 10.27 crores are at par and all that the film needs to do now is hang in there around the same range today as well. Once that’s done, it would be pretty much established that the Salman Khan starrer has been well accepted by the audience and unless there is a rude shock tomorrow and day after (which shouldn’t be the case), the game would be set for the action drama to keep playing on for weeks in succession.
