Akshay Kumar South Movies. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
In the last few years, there have been many comparisons between the Hindi and South film industry. Even though both cinematic worlds have merged quite a few times, the comparisons never stop. Often, Bollywood celebs are asked their view about what’s working for the South and why Hindi films lack the hold at the box office and on the audience like the old days. In the past, Akshay Kumar was also asked the same question, and he gave an interesting answer.
In 2018, when Akshay Kumar was promoting Toilet Ek Prem Katha, he was asked why the success rate of Hindi films was declining. The Omg 2 actor said, “Maybe it has got to do with our content, which is not right.” Akshay called the South Indian film industry systematic and added, “They don’t spend more than Rs 2 crore on publicity.

Dunki Trailer Hysteria! Shah Rukh Khan Grabs The Crown From Prabhas’ Salaar After Just 3 Days Of Celebration, Clocks 59 Million+ Views… ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
“Sau sunar ki ek lohar ki!” for those who can’t understand the language, this is a proper Hindi proverb that means “One powerful blow is comparable to a hundred smaller blows,” and that blow is of Shah Rukh Khan. With the Dunki trailer, Shah has not only surpassed Prabhas’ Salaar’s monumental views but also has become the most-watched Indian movie trailer on YouTube.
Yesterday, we got a surprise from Rajkumar Hirani, and going by his track record of delivering trailers, we knew this could go either way. His combo with Shah isn’t something we all should take lightly as of now, but yeah, the trailer could’ve been better.

Content is king is the belief the film industry has thrived upon all along. An appropriate casting as per the needs of the story completed the basics of making a film. A director craved for a good performer rather than a star and did not chase a star just for the sake of it.
It was because of content that films with no star value such as ‘Saraswatichandra’ (Manish), ‘Kora Kagaz’, ‘Dosti’ (Sudhir and Sushil) and ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ (Salman Khan) went on to become hits. These are just a few examples.
Rajesh Khanna had delivered many flops before he could give his first hit and so had Amitabh Bachchan. When a good script that matched their talent and persona came up, it made them a star.
When a star is born thanks to a few huge hits, everybody wants to cast him and this phenomenon causes the downfall of a star.

Looking at the first half of the year, January to June 2023, one would believe that the film industry has yet to come out of the Covid-19 lockdown effect. The films just don’t seem to work. Nor do the top-billing stars.Were it for the Covid-19 hangover, how does one explain the blockbuster success of ‘The Kashmir Files’ and ‘The Kerala Story’? How does one account for the success of ‘Pathaan’, ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar’,’Zara Hatkke Zara Bachke’, and the last year’s release ‘Drishyam 2’?
As against these successes, what explains the failure of such massively budgeted vehicles such as ‘Adipurush’, to cite the very recent example? Looks like the Hindi audience is not lured by films that are mainly made on computers with VFX!

Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva, directed by Alan Mukerji starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt is wowing audiences all over the world. With shows sold out and many fans are going to see the film more than once, Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva is well on it’s way to be a huge hit. The epic movie has opened to huge box office numbers in India and overseas, Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva opened at #2 at the North American box office this weekend with it garnering 4.5M in the opening weekend.
What makes this even more special is that it was at 810 theaters nationwide, the rest of the releases were on many more screens. The Ranbir Kapoor film had the fewest theaters of any film in the Top 10 but still shot up to 2nd place nationwide.
This is the highest position ever for an Indian movie beating Rrr and Baahubali 2 which both opened in the #3 spot.

‘Brahmastra’ seems to have finally broken Bollywood’s box-office curse by garnering the biggest non-holiday opening day collection, besting pre-pandemic blockbusters ‘Sanju’ (the previous big Ranbir Kapoor star vehicle), ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ and ‘Dhoom 3’.
This seems to be the unanimous view of trade magazines that track box-office collection figures. According to ‘Bollywood Hungama’, early estimates indicated that the Ayan Mukherji movie has collected in the range of Rs 36.50 crore to Rs 38.50 crore on its opening day.
The Rs 415-crore movie therefore seems set to break into the Rs 100-crore club at the end of its first weekend, but its big test will be Monday.
If it can keep up the momentum, then it promises to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film in a rather difficult year. In fact, according to ‘Bollywood Hungama’, its first-day earnings have surpassed those of the biggest post-pandemic grosser, the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif-led...
