The Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam released 24 days ago at the China box office. After a rather lacklustre start the business of the film in China did not see much of an increase. Unlike previous Bollywood releases in this market, Drishyam has been facing an uphill task at the box office.

Now on Day 24 Drishyam has managed to draw in a further USD 140,000 [Rs. 1.07 cr.] more taking its total collections at the China box office to USD 3.84 million [Rs. 29.55 cr.]. Unlike previous releases Drishyam has been facing a tough time in China due to sections of the market being under lockdown due to the resurgence of the Covid-19 virus.

Going forward, the business of the film at the China box office is not really expected to see much growth. Trade predictions state that the business of Drishyam will continue to see collections trickling in but will not see much of an increase.

Hrithik Roshan’s girlfriend Saba Azad shares singing video; Pinky Roshan comments, ‘Beautiful voice’

A while back, Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan was snapped in Mumbai with his new lady interest. While not much was known, soon things were revealed that the War actor was dating singer and actor Saba Azad. Post the revelation, the two have been constantly spotted across the city, and on double dates with the actor’s ex-wife Sussanne Khan and her current boyfriend. Now, taking to Instagram, Saba recently shared a video of her singing. But more than the video, what caught our attention was the comments from Hrithik Roshan to mom Pinky Roshan and of course Sussanne.

Hrithik Roshan’s girlfriend Saba Azad shares singing video; Pinky Roshan comments, ‘Beautiful voice’

Sharing the video Saba added, “Mid study time day dreaming of Heer. Was going over lines for my next project and this one came and sat in my mind, had to get it out of me to be able to concentrate. For as long as I can remember Heer has been a part of my musical upbringing – so many magical singers have told her story in song – for me my earliest memories of Heer-Ranjha go back to summer holidays in Ludhiana at my grandparents place – its magical notes coming to us from my Dadiji’s room where she played it on her cassette player. Our parents played us so many different versions of this tragic story of love and loss that the telling of Heer sits in my heart like a memory I myself have lived. Its seamless spoken word to song story telling format is unlike any other musical tradition Iv heard and almost always brings me to tears. If I remember correctly this is a tiny excerpt from Tufail Niazi’s rendition. Yes you can hear the AC grumbling in the back – yes that’s a pencil in my hair – it’s far from perfect and not my best attempt i’m afraid but I loved singing it anyway – bhool chook maaf ????????
Heer kaindi hai -I went looking for ranjha
But I couldn’t find him anywhere
In my search I even found God
but alas even God isn’t like my Ranjha
I don’t want to go with the Kheras( the family she was forcefully married into)
Only Dheedo Ranjha lives in my heart
God pls I don’t want to go with the khereyaan
-main nahin jaana khereyan de naal…”

Further, talking about shooting the track for Pushpa: The Rise, Samantha Ruth Prabhu continues, “I believe after working on so many projects, I can say that I’m a lot more confident, and it also comes with age and maturity. It took a while for me to get comfortable in my own skin and now I’m much more confident about trying on different roles whether it’s a sexy song or hard core action, which I probably would never have had the courage to do in the past.”

7 Years of Piku: Amitabh Bachchan describes Irrfan Khan’s performance in this scene in the Deepika Padukone co-starrer as “BRILLIANCE beyond words”

The talented and acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan passed away two years ago, on April 29, 2020. His loss saddened moviegoers across the world. He was a rare actor who was loved unanimously thanks to his talent, memorable performances and his ability to stand out in diverse roles. As a result, the whole world felt a void in their lives when he left for a heavenly abode.

7 Years of Piku Amitabh Bachchan describes Irrfan Khan’s performance in this scene in the Deepika Padukone co-starrer as “BRILLIANCE beyond words”

Earlier this year, a book on Irrfan Khan called ‘Irrfan: Dialogues With The Wind’ was released. It is written by Anup Singh, who directed Irrfan in Qissa (2015) and The Song Of The Scorpions (2017). The book consists of the director’s experience with the actor while working on these two films. Interestingly, mega star Amitabh Bachchan has written the foreword and in the book and it’s worth a read.

The foreword starts with some memorable lines, “Irrfan Khan. The intensity. The responsibility of the intensity. The silent righteousness of the responsibility. The eloquent eyes of his silent righteousness. If I were to present an actor whose mere appearance could speak its mind with sophisticated elegance, I’d instantly point to Irrfan Khan.”

Amitabh Bachchan then further said that Irrfan Khan didn’t need to script or dialogues to elevate a sequence and that his mere presence would do the trick. Big B listed a few of his performances which stood out according to him like Slumdog Millionaire (2009), The Lunchbox (2013), Hindi Medium (2017), Maqbool (2004), Paan Singh Tomar (2012) and Piku (2015).

Amitabh Bachchan had worked with Irrfan Khan in Piku, which completed 7 years on May 8, and the former then spoke about a scene in this film to tell viewers how Irrfan Khan was class apart. Amitabh Bachchan narrated that in a sequence, Irrfan Khan’s character Rana Chaudhary arrives at the house of Piku (Deepika Padukone) and Bhaskor Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan) to take them to Kolkata from Delhi in his car. Rana is the owner of a car rental service and he is compelled to volunteer for the job after his drivers refuse to accompany the Banerjees on the long road trip.

Everybody gets seated in the car. Rana realizes that Bhaskor’s house help is seated in the front while Piku and Bhaskor are seated at the back. Rana gives a certain look to the house help and then to the daughter and father. Immediately, Piku asks the house help to switch places. It was a funny scene and raised laughs in cinemas.

Amitabh Bachchan said that instead of saying dialogue like “Excuse me; I am the owner of this company, not your employed driver. I am doing you a favour by volunteering to drive you. Respectfully, shouldn’t one of you be in the seat next to me rather than the house help?”, Irrfan simply gave a look and thus “conveyed an entire paragraph of dialogues” “in those magical few seconds”. He also stated that it was “brilliance beyond words”.

Towards the end, Amitabh expressed sorrow over Irrfan’s untimely demise. He wrote, “Irrfan was taken away from us too soon. A promising life was snapped by death before its time. He had been giving to life far more than what he was getting back in return. And he had so much more in reserve. Yet, death decided otherwise.”
