The New York Film Critics Circle has awarded SS Rajamouli the title of Best Director

The New York Film Critics Circle has awarded SS Rajamouli the title of Best Director.

On Friday, SS Rajamouli, director of the film RRR, was named the year's best director by the New York Film Critics Circle. This group is among the first of its kind to offer its opinions on the upcoming awards season. Most people were taken aback by Rajamouli's victory, given the caliber of his rivals (who included Spielberg, Aronofsky, Polley, and Prince-Blythewood).

Tar, directed by Todd Field, won Best Picture and Best Actress for Cate Blanchett at the New York Film Critics Circle. Best Actor awards went to Colin Farrell for his work in two films this year: After Yang, a science fiction film set in the future directed by Kogonada, and The Banshees of Inisherin, a drama directed by Martin McDonagh. Keke Palmer won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Nope, and Ke Huy Quan won the award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.

The film RRR has been met with resounding success in international markets, prompting distributor Variance Film to launch an extensive Oscars campaign. The film, which features Ram Charan and Jr NTR in the leading roles, is vying for nominations in a wide variety of categories, such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and more.

After grossing over Rs 1200 crore worldwide, the film became one of India's highest-grossing films of all time and was praised by critics in India. However, the Indian Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did not choose it as the country's 2023 Oscar submission.

Shehnaaz Gill sobs on air and says she can't show her true feelings

Talk show host Shehnaaz Gill sobs on air and says she can't show her true feelings: "I really appreciate your sympathy. "

Fans of Shehnaaz Gill adore her raw honesty, but in the most recent episode of her talk show Desi Vibes, the actor admitted that she sometimes worries about letting her guard down for fear of being targeted by internet trolls.

Her most recent episode featured actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who called her "courageous" for being unafraid to show her true emotions on camera. You have a lot of guts to let your feelings show. It takes a lot of guts to say, "Jo bolna chahte ho bol dete ho." (I admire your bravery; you have no problem expressing how you truly feel. You have the guts to say what you really think, which is commendable. Shehnaaz responded that she, too, has begun holding back her honest emotions.

She admitted, "Meri life has been full of emotional moments, but I'm not going to talk about any of them. I've had sad times in my life, but I've never told anyone about it. As she said, "People were saying that I am trying to gain sympathy)," she sobbed. Why am I crying?" she asked herself.

A beloved actor friend of Shehnaaz's, Sidharth Shukla, passed away in 2021. Since their time together on Bigg Boss, Shehnaaz and Salman have become close friends. The name "SidNaaz" was coined by their devoted following.

Nadav Lapid's "vulgar, propagandist" remark about Kashmir Files, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri threatened to walk away

Nadav Lapid's "vulgar, propagandist" remark about Kashmir Files, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri threatened to walk away

Following Nadav Lapid's "vulgar, propagandist" remark about Kashmir Files, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri threatened to walk away from the industry.

Director Vivek Agnihotri has finally spoken out in response to Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid's criticism of The Kashmir Files. Lapid, in his role as president of the jury at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), deemed The Kashmir Files a "vulgar" piece of propaganda during Monday's awards ceremony.

The film, which is based on the mass migration of Hindus from Kashmir in the 1990s, caused controversy upon its debut due to its fiery tone and the perception that it was biased against Kashmir's Muslim majority. Anupam Kher, the film's most visible actor, Pallavi Joshi, a member of the cast and the film's producer, and the Israeli ambassador to India have all spoken out against Lapid's remarks.

Agnihotri added in his video statement, "Friends, yesterday at IFFI, the jury chairman called The Kashmir Files a disgusting, propagandist film." He spoke in Hindi. Not a new concept to me. Terrorists, members of the Tukde Tukde Gang, and other urban Naxals have said this for years. What really caught me off guard, though, was that the Indian government had sponsored an event where a terrorist could share his story. Moreover, native-born Indians have turned this story around in their own nation.

Finally, he vowed that he will continue to fight no matter how much resistance he encounters, yet his words included overtones of intolerance. When The Kashmir Files first came out, it was met with much criticism. However, it was backed by several state governments and championed by influential members of the governing party. Nearly Rs 350 crore was its final global gross.

Richa Chadha's Galwan tweet row: Complaint filed against actress; Raveena Tandon replies

Richa Chadha's Galwan tweet row: Complaint filed against actress; Raveena Tandon replies

An official complaint has been lodged against Richa Chadha in response to the controversy surrounding her tweet about the Galwan restaurant.

In response to the controversy surrounding actress Richa Chadha's tweet about the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, Madhya Pradesh's home minister Narottam Mishra said he had received a complaint and had forwarded it to the police for a legal opinion. He also had harsh words for the actress, saying that her tweet revealed her "tukde-tukde" mentality.

After Northern Army Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi said the Indian Army is "waiting for orders from the govt (sic)" before reclaiming Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the actor responded with the tweet "Galwan says hi" (PoK).

A lot of people, including some celebrities, took offence to a tweet by actor Richa Chadha in which she appeared to make fun of the deaths of soldiers serving in the Indian Armed Forces.

Mishra released a video statement about the actor on Saturday, stating that he needs to learn to "draw a line" between the Army and the movies. To Chadha, the minister said, "There is a difference between reel and real life," daring him to live in the same conditions as a soldier who defends the country in all kinds of weather.

It's unfortunate that you chose to insult the patriots in that way. Her tukde-tukde attitude is on full display in that remark. I've received a complaint about her and forwarded it to the police for their assessment," Mishra said. Tukde-tukde is a term frequently used by right-wing parties to attack the opposition, especially Left and Left-backed outfits and those who support them.

A journalist posted a screenshot of Richa Chadha's tweet alongside the following text: "For last four decades, ISI money has flowed into Bollywood. At other times, it is done covertly through the underworld's assets. There is no other plausible explanation for the existence of blood traitors. Chadha, Richa. Upon hearing this, Raveena said, "Please do not lump all of us together or generalise. The result is increased animosity towards Bollywood. Strong patriots have always been a part of the industry, but they often find themselves thrown under it by the hands of a select few.

In response to whether or not his life would have been different if he had been Hindu, Shah Rukh said, "I would still smell as sweet

In response to whether or not his life would have been different if he had been Hindu, Shah Rukh said, "I would still smell as sweet."

Shah Rukh Khan, one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema, has frequently been in the spotlight. And now that he's back, fans are making a big deal out of the fact that he's starring in the action film Pathaan from Yash Raj Films alongside Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. However, not all of the buzz has been good; hateful hashtags like #BoycottPathaan have been circulating online on a daily basis. Besharam Rang, the film's theme song, has also been at the center of controversy ever since it debuted, with some people finding it offensive and calling for it to be changed.

The home minister of Madhya Pradesh, Narottam Mishra, was offended by Deepika and Shah Rukh's attire and dance moves in the music video, and now many people are raising eyebrows over Deepika's saffron-colored swimsuit. Many of Shah Rukh's films have been released into environments marked by trolling or boycotting campaigns, so he is used to dealing with this kind of attention.

In the midst of all this hubbub, it is worth remembering what Shah Rukh himself had to say about art and religion at a previous event.

Someone in the crowd asked the celebrity if he ever thinks about how his life might have been different if he had been born a Hindu or given a different name. The person began by suggesting Shekhar Krishna as an alternative name for SRK, to which the actor responded with his signature wit by saying his Hindu name should be Shekhar Radha Krishna since the omission of the letter 'R' in the actor's name rendered the name, Shekhar Krishna.

Continuing to explain why he didn't think he'd be any different if he'd been born into a different community, Shah Rukh said, "I don't think there would be any different. In my opinion, artists have the power to unite people regardless of their background or religious beliefs; all that matters is whether or not you appreciate the work. The actor concluded with a grin, "It doesn't matter what you call me; I'd still smell as sweet." The crowd applauded enthusiastically.

Featuring an energetic performance from Shah Rukh Khan, the song Jhoome Jo Pathaan is a catchy tribute to the film's protagonist.

Following the many scandals that plagued Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's Besharam Rang from the upcoming action film Pathaan, YRF has released the second song from the film, titled "Jhoome Jo Pathaan." Not only does the dance track feature Deepika, but it also features SRK, a superstar, moving to the beat.

The video was shot in various beautiful European locations and included numerous costume changes set to a catchy Western tune. Arijit Singh provides the vocals for this piece. Shah Rukh and Deepika are seen dancing together to the song with a small group of dancers in the background. At the same time, Deepika wears a glamorous outfit, and Shah Rukh sports a more rugged one.

Director Siddharth Anand commented on the song, saying, "I knew from the beginning that we had to have Arijit Singh sing for Shah Rukh Khan in Jhoome Jo Pathaan. We wanted our country's most popular singer to perform for our country's most popular, long-lasting celebrity. SRK and Deepika let loose in this dance number, which features Arijit's charismatic voice."

After seeing Besharam Rang, several idiotic BJP leaders voiced their displeasure with Deepika Padukone's saffron-colored costume, sparking a controversy. Some religious leaders in Madhya Pradesh were so offended by the film's title that they tried to get it banned.

Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, was produced by Aditya Chopra and will open in theatres on January 25, 2023. The film will also be released in Tamil and Telugu.

Hera Pheri 3 was never meant for Akshay Kumar to star in it: Why

Hera Pheri 3 was never meant for Akshay Kumar to star in it: Why?

Hera Pheri 3 with Akshay Kumar was just a rumor all along. Now Akshay is protecting Hera Pheri 3 producer Firoz Nadiadwala's reputation by saying he wasn't fond of the film's script.

It's true that after 2006's Hera Pheri 2, Akshay no longer collaborates with Firoz. Akshay Kumar and Firoz Nadiadwala have been friends for quite some time. At some point after collaborating on films like Hera Pheri and Awara Paagal Deewana in the early 2000s, tensions between them boiled over. Firoz made two very successful Hera Pheri films with Akshay, but after Hera Pheri 2 they never collaborated again.

Then, for reasons we'll never know, they had a major falling out, and John Abraham was cast as Akshay Kumar's replacement in Hera Pheri 3. The supposed Hera Pheri 3 director, Neeraj Vora, got sick and died, so the film never got made. After that, Firoz once more announced Hera Pheri 3 with Akshay and Indra Kumar in charge of directing.

It's been a while. Time really does heal all wounds. In addition to being an excellent actor, Akshay is also a wonderful person. After a rough patch that included public feuds with directors Raj Kumar Santoshi and Anees Bazmi and the ultimate low point, the passing in his arms of a friend and fellow filmmaker Neeraj Vora, producer Firoz Nadiadwala was overjoyed to see Santoshi back in his Hera Pheri role.

Firoz had said, "Indra Kumar is a director who understands the suur and taaal of an Indian comedy," which was a big factor in his final decision. He has the most practical experience to lead the Hera Pheri team. There is no doubt in my mind that Hera Pheri 3 will be just as well received as its predecessors. Akshay, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal played three drunken losers in the first Hera Pheri film.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever Ticket Sales Boomed In India

Black Panther Wakanda Forever Ticket Sales Boomed In India

An encouraging trend in advance ticket sales for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been spotted.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will have its worldwide debut in India and other countries. A personal attachment with the late Chadwick Boseman makes this film even more anticipated than its status as a Marvel blockbuster. Let's check out the movie's first-day box office take in advance ticket sales.

The sequel's 2018 debut saw strong ticket sales in the subcontinent. Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of T'Challa was well-received, and the film was a financial success. It was reported in 2020 that the actor, then 43 years old, had died from colon cancer. Since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of Black Panther 2, which will serve as a touching memorial to a late actor. Black Panther 2 has been generating positive buzz in advance booking in India. It's far superior to mainstream Bollywood productions. According to the review on Sacnilk.com, on its first day of advance booking, Wakanda Forever made 3.18 crores gross. Ticket sales are almost at the one million mark. Please keep in mind that this is the most recent information as of the time this story was written (early this morning) and that the goal may have already been achieved.

With its massive budget, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever already has set a new standard. The Marvel Cinematic Universe film has now hit theatres. The Ryan Coogler-directed film has the potential to have the best opening weekend of all time in the United States in 2022, according to box office projections.

The opening weekend in North America is expected to bring in between $185 and $200 million, according to estimates. If the film has a strong opening, it will be the most successful opening of the year in Hollywood and the MCU.

Estimated earnings from the box office are compiled from a number of different places. We are unable to confirm these figures without the help of the source.
