Karan Johar pens emotional note on New Year’s Eve for best friend and Dharma Productions’ CEO Apoorva Mehta for his contribution towards their banner

Karan Johar has been successful in taking his home production house Dharma Productions to newer heights ever since he had to take on the responsibility following his father and well-known producer Yash Johar’s death in 2004. The filmmaker has now given a major credit for Dharma’s success to their banner’s CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Apoorva Mehta in an emotional post on Instagram.

By sharing his picture with Apoorva, Karan said that he came to his rescue to serve the banner despite being settled in the UK with his family. “When my father passed away in 2004… he left a void that perhaps can never be filled … on an emotional impulse I called my best friend @apoorva1972 who was based in the UK and very settled with his wife Bijal… I said “I need you … I have no family to help me build my father’s dream … Dharma productions” without even a pause he said “I will be there” and just like that overnight Bijal and him changed their settled life to walk into an unknown territory and as we enter 2024 I want to take this moment to express my deepest love and gratitude to both of them for being emotional and professional pillars to me in my most trying and challenging times!”

Happy new year to us and the entire @dharmamovies @dharma2pointo @dharmaticent @dcatalent families! You are all the reason we stand firmly on our feet.”

Javed Akhtar reveals that he wrote the evergreen song ‘Tumko Dekha Toh Yeh Khayal Aaya’ in 9 minutes, that too when he was 9 pegs down

A strong crowd of more than 2000 people had a great time attending the show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon’. Presented by Saregama, it featured Javed Akhtar narrating never-before-heard stories behind some of the classic songs he wrote. This was followed by Meiyang Chang and Jahnvi Shrimankar singing those songs. At the very beginning of the show, the legendary songwriter brought the house as he revealed the funny episode of writing the evergreen song ‘Tumko Dekha Toh Yeh Khayal Aaya’ from Saath Saath (1982).

Javed Akhtar reveals that he wrote the evergreen song 'Tumko Dekha Toh Yeh Khayal Aaya' in 9 minutes, that too when he was 9 pegs down

Javed Akhtar started writing lyrics after Yash Chopra coaxed him to do so for his film Silsila (1981). He said, “A film takes a lot of time to be made. When it releases after 1 ½ years, tab log bolte hai ‘Bahut acche dialogue likhe hai aapne’. Matlab dedh saal lag jaata hai taarif sunne mein! With song lyrics, you write the song, it’ll be recorded in 2 days and the same evening, you’ll get to hear praises! Hence, I started to enjoy writing lyrics. Yeh aasaan bhi hai aur isme taareef zyada hai!”

He then said how he came on board for Saath Saath saying, “Yash Chopra’s fourth assistant, Raman Kumar, a very talented man, approached me. He told me that he is making a small film and doesn’t have a huge budget. He told me ‘Main aapse free mein likhwana chahta hoon’!”

Javed Akhtar, in his trademark style, quipped, “Now, there could be two reasons why I wrote the songs for free. One is that I am kind-hearted and I felt that gareeb ki madat karna mera kartavya hai. The other reason could be that I was enjoying songwriting. Which reason you feel is correct, uspe aap tick mark kar dijiye!”

He continued, “You might be a very good person but when you do work for free, you take time! Those days, I used to drink extensively, that too every night. I had to deliver just one song. Raman used to come home every night and tell me, ‘Sir, woh ek gaana reh gaya tha’. I would reply, ‘Haan, bilkul’. Because of me, his liver also got affected!”

Javed Akhtar added, “Every night, I would tell him, ‘Kal tumhara gaana likhte hai’. The scenario would repeat every night. He had to catch a train. Hence, he used to check his watch (to ensure he doesn’t miss the last local train).”

The Padma Bhushan awardee continued to raise laughs as he stated, “One night, he told me, ‘Aaj toh der ho gayi. Kal pakka likh dena aap’. I was 8-9 pegs down and aise mein, confidence bada aa jaata hai! I told him ‘Abhi kar dete hai’. I asked him for pen and paper. He was checking his watch, to catch the train. Hence, I know how much time I took to write the song.”

Javed Akhtar amazed the crowd as he revealed, “Yeh gaana sirf 9 minute mein likha tha. That song (‘Tumko Dekha Toh Yeh Khayal Aaya’) became a hit and continues to be popular even today.” As expected, the audience couldn’t stop clapping.

Saath Saath starred Farooq Shaikh and Deepti Naval. Incidentally, it was edited by none other than David Dhawan.

2023 has almost come to a close with the last few days of the year left before we welcome the New Year; it’s time to look back in retrospect. Not surprisingly, 2023 has been a year filled with box office turmoil, while some big-ticket entertainers lived upto their name, a few others did not. Interestingly, a few smaller titled broke through the clutter emerging as box office wonders. In this yearend special report we look at some of the top Hollywood grossers of 2023 that left a mark at the India box office.

Not surprisingly, the Christopher Nolan directorial Oppenheimer that managed to draw in a massive Rs. 128.46 cr tops the list as the highest grossing Hollywood release of 2023. The film which came with immense hype and highly positive reviews enthralled the audience with its visual spectacle. Coming in a close second is the Tom Cruise starrer Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One that drew in Rs. 119.53 cr. Being the first part of the final chapter in the Mission: Impossible series hype for the film was at an all-time high. Taking the third spot on the list of the highest Hollywood grossers of 2023 is the tenth instalment in the Fast & Furious franchise, Fast X. Collecting Rs. 108.83 cr, Fast X garnered mixed feedback from the audience. While, these big-ticket releases were expected to cross the Rs. 100 cr mark, a few others like, John Wick: Chapter 4 that promised high octane action sequences drew in just Rs. 53.21 cr, falling short of expectations. Another big release that turned copper at the box office was the third instalment in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Collecting Rs. 52.21 cr, the third instalment of the hit series failed to compare with the previous two releases that enthralled the audience.

Though a few releases underperformed, the Top 5 grossers more or less retained their order at the box office. However, making a surprise entry as one film that made an impact at the box office was Barbie that drew in Rs. 45.45 cr, followed by the animated venture Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse that collected Rs. 44.85 cr. Another shocker like the third Guardians film was Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania that contrary to expectations did not even cross the Rs. 50 cr mark closing its run at the India box office at Rs. 43.69 cr.

However, the two surprises among the Top 10 Highest Grossing Hollywood releases of 2023 in India were the horror flicks The Nun 2 and Evil Dead Rise that stunningly drew in Rs, 43.49 cr and Rs. 36.50 cr respectively. Intestinally, both these release despite the limited release and the niche appeal surpassed expectations making a good impact at the India box office.

In a recent interview with Komal Nahta, Sandeep Reddy Vanga discussed the reason behind the exit of Parineeti Chopra and mentioned that he did not see Geetanjali in her. “Actually, galti mera hi hai (it’s my fault). I said, ‘Ho sake toh maaf karo mujhe (if possible, please forgive me). I signed her one and a half years before the shoot and, for some reason, I didn’t see Geetanjali in her. Kuch kuch characters kuch kuch logo ko set nahi hota hai (some characters are such that it doesn’t set right with certain people).”

Sandeep also mentioned about how he wanted her to play Preeti in Kabir Singh. He continued, “Main kabhi audition main believe nahi karta (I don’t believe in auditions). I go by my instinct only. That I know. From day one I have liked her acting and I always wanted to cast her as Preeti, also in Kabir Singh but hua nahi uss time (it didn’t happen then).”

Sandeep maintained that one day he will definitely work with Parineeti Chopra since he admires her work and acting chops. He opened up about how she reacted when Rashmika Mandanna took over, Vanga added, “That’s long due. I always wanted to work with her. I told her and she also knows that. I told her, ‘Sorry, nothing is bigger than the film. So, I’m taking this decision and going ahead with another artist.’ She felt bad, but she understood why I was saying that.”

Animal stars Rashmika Mandanna as Geetanjali, who essays the role of Ranvijay’s wife and mother of his two children.
