Jayeshbhai Jordaar Box Office Estimate Day 1: Takes a shocking start; collects Rs. 3.15 crores

Ranveer Singh’s social comedy, Jayeshbhai Jordaar has taken a poor start at the box office. According to early estimates, the movie has collected in the range of Rs. 2.85 to 3.15 crores on its first day. The film had nothing going in its favour and if one were to pass a judgement from just the morning shows, even Rs. 2.50 crores would have been a challenge.

There was a little growth, as expected towards the evening and night shows, which has got the film in the vicinity of Rs. 3 crores. But this growth was not enough to give it a respectable start. This opening has basically downed the curtains for Jayeshbhai Jordaar already as it would be yet another post pandemic release to end in the vicinity of Rs. 20 to 30 crores in the best case scenario.

One would have hoped for word of mouth to come into picture and lift the collections through the weekend, but with Jayeshbhai Jordaar, the talk is also highly mixed. While the film genre caters to a multiplex audience, the look and feel of the film can’t attract the high end plex audience any longer. This is a film that probably didn’t even warrant the presence of someone like Ranveer Singh, but nonetheless, what’s done is done. We have our eyes now set on how the film performs in its opening weekend.

While a jump is unlikely, but we would still hope for the film to show some miracle and surprise us through the weekend run.

Sona Mohaptara reacts to trolls who commented on Ira Khan’s bikini pics- “Normalising shaming of young women for attire encourages misogynistic behaviour”

Sona Mohapatra recently addressed social media users who chastised Ira Khan, Aamir Khan’s daughter, for wearing a bikini to her birthday pool party. Since then, she has been subjected to much trolling. Some even dragged her mother into it.

Mohapatra took to Instagram to criticise patriarchy after social media users began to comment on Ira’s choice of attire in the presence of her parents, writing, “Please keep in mind that Ira Khan is 25 years old and that her outfit choice has nothing to do with what #AamirKhan said, did, or did not do in the past. A mature, independent woman. Is exercising her right to choose. It does not require her father’s or your permission.”

“The 24/7 troll brigade in the last 24 hours in the garb of ‘sanskaari’ custodians of our ‘culture’ have showcased their own ‘sanskaar’ by asking me to pose naked in the public, then even extended this courtesy to my 70-year-old mother, who has no voice or say in this conversation,” she said, opening up about being trolled for her post. “All within the last twenty-four hours after I chastised them for trolling a young woman whose birthday party I attended over the weekend,” she added.

The 45-year-old has spent the majority of her time since then deleting such comments and applying filters to her page, as she explains: “Despite having the strongest profanity filters enabled on my pages, I have been continuously deleting garbage.”

She emphasised the importance of challenging this mentality in order to change how women are treated in society in this passage. “We have also received horrifying reports of gang rapes in various parts of the country in recent days. What is the connection, one wonders? These heinous crimes were brought to light because brave girls reported them, are seeking justice, and are not sweeping them under the rug like so many others.”

“Even normalising such trolling and shaming of young women on the Internet for their clothing choices strengthens and encourages a**holes and misogynistic behaviour not only online, but also in real life. Because, in the end, this sick online behaviour is nothing more than a reflection of societal mindsets,” she concluded.

I am honoured to have a solid collaborator like Bhushan on my side who is such a strong pillar and a sturdy sounding board.”

Woo Do Hwan and WJSN’s Bona in talks to lead new historical drama Joseon Lawyer

South Korean actor Woo Do Hwan and K-pop group Cosmic Girls (WJSN) member Bona are likely to share screen in upcoming historical webtoon-based drama Joseon Lawyer (literal title).

According to media outlet reports on May 9, Woo Do Hwan is currently in talks to play the male lead Kang Han Soo, a skilled Joseon-era lawyer. Kang Han Soo defends and completes the law in order to get revenge, but eventually becomes the people’s spokesperson and hero. As reported by Bona’s agency King Kong by Starship, Bona is also reviewing the offer for the role of female lead Lee Yeon Joo, a person who commissions a case in order to seek revenge. If she accepts, the role will also mark her first lead role on the small screen.

As Korean tabloid Soompi reports, based on a webtoon of the same name, Joseon Lawyer is a cathartic and warm drama following the story of the wicked lawyer Kang Han Soo, who files lawsuits that are previously planned and uses the feelings of wronged victims to his advantage, as he unintentionally becomes revered as a hero and a problem solver among the common people. Eventually, he matures to become a truly just lawyer. The drama uses the Gyeongguk daejeon (code of law from the late Goryeo and early Joseon Dynasties) as a motif, but the story itself is fictional. The multi-genre fusion history drama will combine elements of romance and revenge.

On the work front, Woo Do Hwan previously appeared in Sweet Stranger and Me, The Divine Fury, The King: Eternal Monarch and will also be starring in the upcoming drama Hunting Dogs. Meanwhile, Bona’s projects include Girls’ Generation 1979 and most recently played the role of Ko Yu Rim in the hit tvN drama Twenty Five, Twenty One.
