Shakitmaan, G One & Krrish ( Photo Credit – YouTube; IMDb )
Every 90s kids remember Mukesh Khanna as Shaktimaan, the Indian superhero who would take a spin and save the day. Many of us have grown up watching him fight the bad guys and teach us valuable lessons. Before Marvel superheroes, we all wanted to be like him. The character is precious not only to many young Indians but also to Khanna.
Often, Mukesh Khanna expressed his views openly when it comes to Shaktimaan. He loves the superhero dearly and has talked about making a lot of effort to make the series happen. However, the actor also didn’t shy away from expressing his views against Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra One movie character G One. He also once said that Srk’s film and Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish could never match up to Shaktimaan.

After lagging behind in a big way on the first day when its collections were only the fourth best ever after War, Bang Bang and Krrish 3, Fighter made a case for itself after the first three days.
The film is now the second-best ever for Hrithik Roshan when it comes to the weekend/first three-day numbers, as it’s now far ahead of Krrish 3 and is just behind War.
The film was actually in an advantageous position when compared to War since the latter had been released on Wednesday, and though it had Gandhi Jayanti advantage, the next two were working days.

Tiger 3 Box Office Collection: Salman Khan Achieves An Unbeatable Record With His Threequel ( Photo Credit – YouTube; IMDb )
Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 has surrendered almost, and while the film currently stands at 282.08 crore, it seems impossible to touch the 300 crore mark with Animal’s arrival. However, despite a number so underwhelming, Bhaijaan has achieved a unique record that might have gone unnoticed.
As the Tiger threequel stands at 282.08 crore, it has surpassed the highest-grossing threequel of Bollywood – Dhoom 3! The film, starring Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Katrina Kaif, collected 280.25 crores at the box office.
Surpassing this number, Tiger 3 has now become the highest-grossing threequel. Interestingly, the Tiger franchise is also the highest-grossing franchise in Hindi, beating SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali. Currently, the Tiger franchise stands at 819.08 crore.

Yash Raj Films’ “Tiger 3,” starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, debuted in fourth position at the global box office with $11.5 million, according to numbers released by Comscore.
The film achieved this despite opening in India on Nov. 12, a Sunday, on the day of the Diwali festival. Diwali is India’s biggest festival and audiences traditionally shun cinemas in favor of family celebrations in the run up to it. However, Monday and Tuesday are also holidays in several parts of India, giving the film the flavor of a weekend, albeit a couple of days late.
“Tiger 3” opened in North America a day earlier, on Nov. 11. The Hindi-language film was also released in Tamil and Telugu-language dubbed versions.

New Delhi, May 21 (Ians) Admitting that hybrid work paradox is here to stay amid the pandemic, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Friday outlined a detailed approach about how his company is going to tackle the biggest shift to global workplace that requires a new operating model, spanning people, places and processes.
As some countries open and others like India and Brazil face their worst pandemic days, Nadella said that every organisation's approach will need to be different to meet the unique needs of their people.
"According to our research, the vast majority of employees say they want more flexible remote work options, but at the same time also say they want more in-person collaboration, post-pandemic. This is the hybrid work paradox," Nadella said in a blog post.
He outlined three areas for Microsoft for hybrid work.
"First, we are moving all employees off corporate networks and taking an internet-first approach.

When the going gets tough, Bollywood thinks big. Reeling under the twin effect of the pandemic and Ott influx, which have dented business, Bollywood is pulling all stops with mega-budget announcements, to woo fans back to the halls. Among emerging trends is the superhero movie.
The genre is not exactly new -- Hrithik Roshan did star in the "Krrish" films, after all. But at no point in time has the Hindi film industry got into making so many superhero flicks at the same time as now. Trade analysts see it as a good trend, especially in these times when theatres are trying to pull the audience back amid the pandemic.
Hollywood, of course, is a big influence, as everything else about Bollywood. Global blockbusters as "The Dark Knight" series", the "Avengers" films, "Black Panther", "Wonder Woman", "Captain America: Civil War", and "Justice League" among others set the cash registers ringing in India,...

Diwali or Deepavali both come from the Sanskrit Dipavali literally translating as row of lamps. From the earliest times, Indians have celebrated this festival wherever they are, often being called Indian Christmas for it’s brightness and colours. Bollywood also has not been shy in releasing films directly targeted toward Diwali audiences and it is a time in which the music directors revel as they get a chance to show off how much illumination they can deliver with their vibrant often dance sounds. As an example, here we are going to look at the most Diwali song from Diwali releases since 2010 and in doing so showcase the beauty of Bollywood cinema.
2010’s big smash hit Diwali release was shared between Action Replay done by Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Golmaal 3, a franchise remake starring Ajay Devgn. Specifically concentrating on what Diwali needed, it wasn’t necessary to go past the Golmaal 3 Title Song.

CinemaThe film marks the Bollywood debut of Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan and Marathi actor Mithila Palkar.Digital NativeThe makers of the Bollywood flick Karwaan had announced a couple of weeks ago that the film would make it to theatres on August 10. This had the fans of the lead stars excited as the movie went into the post-production mode. However, we now hear from sources in the know that the release date has been advanced by a week and it will hit the marquee on August 3. When enquired into what made the team decide on a new release date, it was revealed that the makers of Karwaan wanted it to have a solo run for two weeks before other films start hitting the theatres to cash in on the long Independence Day weekend. With a long line-up of films scheduled to release around the Independence Day week, it indeed seems to be a good strategy by the makers of Karwaan to release the film earlier. Karwaan is touted to be a comedy film that has Dulquer Salmaan and Irrfan Khan playing the leads with Kriti Kharbanda and Mithila Palkar featuring opposite them. Interestingly, it will mark Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan and Marathi actor Mithila’s debut in Bollywood. Amala Akkineni will be seen in an important role in this flick. The film is directed by Akarsh Khurana and is bankrolled by Ronnie Screwvala. Anurag Saikia is the music composer for this flick while Avinash Arun has done the cinematography. Though Akarsh Khurana is wielding the megaphone for the first time, he has written films such as Hamshakals and Krrish 3. Dulquer has completed shooting for his portions in Karwaan and the film is currently in the post-production stage. Besides this Bollywood movie, the actor also has the Tamil movie Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal which is in the post-production mode. The romantic thriller is a Desingh Periyasamy directorial, which has Ritu Varma playing the lead opposite Dulquer. According to reports, Dulquer plays a happy-go-lucky youth in this film.

InterviewIn this exclusive interview, Kalyani talks about coming from a star family, her experiences on the sets of her first movie and the possibility of doing Malayalam films.Anjana ShekarIt wasn’t much of a surprise when Kalyani Priyadarshan, who practically grew up on movie sets, chose to enter filmdom. “I was constantly visiting my father’s sets. Sometimes I even spent my vacations on sets,” laughs Kalyani. The actor is the daughter of two very prominent showbiz personalities – director Priyadarshan and actor Lissy, well known for their contribution to the Malayalam film industry. Although Kalyani made her debut with the Telugu film Hello, starring alongside Akhil Akkineni, she has previously dabbled in set designing under the tutelage of production designer Sabu Cyril. Tnm caught up with the actor for an exclusive and here are some excerpts. Did you always know that you wanted to get into acting? Acting wasn’t part of my plans initially. I am a very sensitive person and for long I wasn’t sure if I was cut out to be an actor. I am the kind of person who takes criticism very personally. However, I had an innate desire to be a part of cinema, so I chose to work behind the scenes first. I did my bachelor’s in designing from the Us and as a start, I worked as an assistant production designer for Krrish 3 (2013) and Iru Mugan (2016) with Sabu Cyril sir. Being a star kid, would you say you had a smooth entry into films? My parents have always believed in me even before I entered films. They never give me direct advice but I bank a lot on the kind of emotional support they give me – it’s hard to explain. Everyone thinks that being a star kid gives us an easy ticket. But I feel it is hard, especially the pressure we deal with and the spotlight we’re put under. Did you not consider debuting in one of your father’s films? While it was possible for me to have joined one of my father’s projects, he insisted that I make my own way in the industry. “You have to believe that you deserve to be here,” he told me. And that has helped me greatly. I am absolutely happy to have worked with director Vikram Kumar for my debut. How did you handle the language barrier in your first film? I didn’t know a word in Telugu and Hello was the first best offer I got. My father, however, was very confident about Vikram Kumar. Trust your director is what he told me, and I took the plunge. Did your parents help you prepare for the film? It might sound surprising but more than my mum, it was my dad from whom I took acting inspiration. He is an incredible actor and not many know this side of him. I constantly keep telling him that he should act one day! But both of them had no idea what I was doing in Hello. Only after watching the teaser did they get some idea. How did your parents react to Hello? Well, my mother is an extremely emotional person and she is my biggest fan. She always loves everything I do. I remember, after watching the film, she hugged me and cried for about ten minutes. And then she did the same to the director. That’s how much she loved and appreciated it! My dad, though, is the extreme opposite. He is my biggest critic and every time I happen to do something wrong, he’d go on about it for hours. After watching Hello, he didn’t say a word! Now, that was a great compliment coming from him. Tell us about your experience on the sets of Hello. It was a great team to work with. Being new to the language, they’d give me the dialogues a day before to practise. Director Vikram Kumar moulded me so well for the character. Akhil is one of the most hardworking actors I’ve seen on sets, and I’ve seen quite a few actors on sets – I know how they are off screen. He is very focussed, both on and off sets. The dialogue ‘I hate you’ from the film has now become very famous. But did you face any negative feedback for the film? Everything I heard so far has all been encouraging and positive. There might be negative feedback as well, but I haven’t received any. After working behind the scenes, how did it feel to don the acting hat? For the first couple of days during my shoot, I was all over the place. Having worked as a production design assistant, my first instinct was to get everything under control. It cost me a great deal and I learned to calm down. I then understood why actors were only focussed on what they did. I learned to not be super-involved with what happened behind the scenes. You are family friends with actor Mohanlal. How did he react to your debut? He is someone I look up to. I grew up watching him perform on sets and his feedback means a great deal to me. He’s not one who says a lot, and so after watching Hello, he hugged me to express how much he liked it. Tell us about your future projects. I owe deeply to Malayalam cinema and there’s no doubt I’ll do a film there. But that being home turf, I am extremely careful and choosy when it comes to selecting scripts. I also have a good connection with Tamil, having studied in Chennai. So I hope to be making a film in Tamil soon. But right now, I’ve officially signed a film in Telugu with director Sudheer Varma opposite Sharwanand.

She mentioned that she was to receive the award for Best Supporting Actress in the year 2007 for Life In A Metro but it was presented to Soha Ali Khan for Rang De Basanti since she couldn’t make it to the event due to traffic.

Over the years, there have been countless sequels that have hit the screens. Many have been successful, some have just not risen up to the occasion. Some have dropped the anchor after second in the series itself, while a select few have moved on to the third in the series as well. There have been very rare franchises though that have moved on to the fourth installment, Raaz Reboot being the one that released last year and Golmaal 4 which has now gone on floors.
However, seldom has one actually come across a series where the story has practically moved from first to the third part, and that too with not just the same characters but even the same set up as well as definite continuation of the story. While that has happened in the past with Krrish 3, it is now all set to happen for Sarkar 3 as well.

26th January 2017 – Just a little over two months remain for the arrival of the Big day. In fact that’s the date when Bollywood would evidence its next holiday release. All major releases from this point on [Dear Zindagi, Kahaani 2 and Befikre] are non-holiday arrivals while Dangal releases on 23rd December, which is a regular Friday. However, 26th January is huge because Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil has been slated to release on this date.
“Each of Hrithik’s last four releases has been on holidays. Mohenjo Daro [Independence Day], Bang Bang [Gandhi Jayanti], Krrish 3 [Diwali] and Agneepath [Republic Day] have all seen him bag some really important dates from the Bollywood calendar. When dad Rakesh Roshan chose 26th January for Kaabil, it was quite apparent that this would make it five in a row for Hrithik. However, what has turned out to be tad disappointing is to see the makers of Raees not just announcing their plans for the same date...

October 31st is Halloween, when kids (of all ages) dress up to go trick-or-treating. Then, of course, there are the cool adults getting in on the costume fun to go to Halloween parties. Since we are all Bollywood buffs, okay fanatics, we thought it would be fun to poll our writers to see who they would love to dress up if we had a Bollywood Halloween – Bollyween Ball. Boy oh boy were we flooded with amazing and inventive ideas.
Some of these costumes you could probably put together easily. However, some might need extra help from family, tailors, costume designers, stylists, costume engineers and even Oscar winning makeup artist Greg Canoom (transformed Srk in Fan and Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire)!!

Recently, Hrithik Roshan took to Twitter to announce that, "Ganpati blessings for Krrish4 :)) hope everyone is enjoying the festivities. Love to all." Speaking on the same, Rakesh Roshan said that, "When my wife showed me a tweet with Bappa's picture as Krrish, it reaffirmed my belief that Krrish is the original superhero we have. It boosted my confidence and inspired me to make the fourth instalment." He added that, "Ganesha is also called the God of Auspicious beginnings. I guess this was his way of saying that we have his blessings for Krrish 4." Senior Roshan already has an idea for the movie, which he will be working on.

After giving super-hit Krrish 3, Hrithik Roshan is reuniting with his father and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan in an upcoming drama, Kaabil. The actor will be seen opposite Yami Gautam for the first time and they already have started shooting for the film.
Earlier this week, Hrithik Roshan wrapped a romantic number with Yami Gautam which is an importance sequence in the film. The song will be followed by the lead pair's wedding.

While Krrish 3 went on to do record breaking business at the box office, the film seems to have been caught up in a legal controversy, almost three years after its release. Krrish 3 that released in November 2013, has found itself in the midst of a plagiarism controversy. The said complaint has been filed by a certain author named Roop Narayan Shankar. The Dehradun based Roop claims that the plotline of Krrish 3 is stolen from his 2010 book 'Suardan' and hence has filed a complaint against the director-producer under the Copyright act. Claiming that Rakesh Roshan hasn't undergone the procedure of asking permission before using it in his film, the writer also added that his novel 'Suardan' had characters where the man and animal are infused together to become a character, that he likes to call 'Manwar' (Man+Janwar). Several characters from Krrish 3 too were a combination of animal...

Bajirao Mastani maintained good pace in the third week as well since it was bouyed by the long weekend right at the beginning of the year. Powered by the New Year holiday, it collected around 30 crore more in its third week, and now stands around the 170 crore mark.
The good news for the film is that it is getting good number of shows in the fourth week as well, since Wazir has a niche appeal. Furthermore, the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film can feel lucky with the fact that Ghayal Once Again has moved on from its 15th January release (and would now be arriving on 5th February). This gives Bajirao Mastani an opportunity to run well in the fifth week too, right till 22nd January once Airlift and Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 release.

A. Brothers collected Rs 83.5 crore in India and Rs 26.1 crore in the overseas markets. The worldwide gross of the film is 139.8 crore. Flop.
Q. What’s your take on the first look of Mr.Perfectionist’s Dangal? Did you like it? Is Dangal going to be another Rang De Basanti/Taare Zameen Par of Bollywood in terms of content? – Jazick
A. The response has been phenomenal. Any film that Aamir Khan does, creates tremendous curiosity amongst the audience. The effort that he’s been putting into Dangal seems to be 10x more than some of his previous films. That’s the perception that’s been creating in the media.

Kangana Ranaut is undeniably the reigning queen of Bollywood today; especially after her recent release ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ which has earned both acclaim and numbers at the Bo. The film is pulling fantastic numbers despite being in its third week and has now crossed the 100 crore collections mark (currenly at 108 cr. after 12 days).
A recent box office reveals an interesting comparative of Twmr with previous box office hits in and prior to 2015 – Not only is Twmr’s 2nd week collection (28 cr.) the highest in 2015, it is also higher than that of the Srk-Deepika starrer Chennai Express (23 cr.). Overall, Twmr comes in fifth after films like Pk, Krrish 3, Dhoom 3 and Kick for their week two collections ensuring that both the film and Kangana are definitely in the big league with Aamir, Salman, Hrithik.
This Queen has arrived with style… Make way everyone!

A Tragedy Queen. Wild Child. Karma Chameleon. Woman of Substance. Kangana Ranaut has had a meteoric rise and emerged as the dark horse of the industry, creating a unique irreplaceable identity for herself.
The actress who hailed from a small town, traveled a long way with big dreams of being a superstar, and has successfully managed to do so on her own terms.
Unconventional and eccentric, Kangana never shieds away from experimenting and shedding her skin to transform into her memorable characters. While she showed tremendous promise in films like Life in a Metro and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, Kangana defied stereotypes with films like Fashion and Tanu Weds Manu.The actress also stole the show in Krrish 3, as she metamorphosed into the edgy Kaya, and then went on to cement her position as possibly the best actress of her generation with Queen, for which she won a National Award.

Kangana Ranaut, who was celebrated all of last year by the industry and critics alike, cemented her position as one of the finest actresses of her generation. The powerhouse performer has truly become a force to reckon with, as she was honored with a National Award for her performance in Queen, her second National award win.
Kangana, who has an exciting line up of films this year, has a choc-o-bloc schedule, with the promotions of Tanu Weds Manu Returns and her Katti Batti schedule. However, the actress is going all out to ensure that all her films get the attention they deserve.
Sources reveal that Kangana, who is currently in Ahmadabad, shooting for Nikhil Advani’s Katti Batti, will be flying down to Mumbai, especially for the trailer launch of the highly awaited Tanu Weds Manu Returns, the sequel of the 2011 blockbuster.

Just like us, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra too hates losing and she doesn't mind admitting to it publicly. Priyanka and Kangana Ranaut, both were tough competitors for this year's National award for best actress, but ultimately, Kangana won the award for Queen.
Priyanka got onto a microblogging site to congratulate Kangana writing, "I hate losing. But if I had to take a back seat to anyone this year it would be U #KanganaRanaut ! Congratulations!yay Queen!#SmallTownGirls"
"Queen ka real king!! #VikasBehl @fuhsephantom congratulations and so proud! What a journey and so well deserved!" she further added.
During the release of Krrish 3, there were reports that the two ladies were involved in a cold war and didn't even acknowledge each other's presence. Though time and again they denied the rumours, the speculations didn't stop.
Now that Priyanka has publicly applauded Kangana, the rumours can be put to rest.
