On Thursday August 11, we finally saw the release of the Aamir Khan – Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha. A remake of the Hollywood film Forrest Gump, the Indian adaptation written by Atul Kulkarni has been making news for a while now. On its release, Laal Singh Chaddha shocked the industry with an unexpected opening. Contrary to trade expectations the film opened on a less than appreciative note. However, this meagre opening has not slowed the film’s march at the box office. While Laal Singh Chaddha continues its box office run, some in the industry who watched the film took to social media sharing their views and reviews of Laal Singh Chaddha. One such person was Richa Chadha.

Taking to the micro blogging site Twitter, Richa Chadha came out in full support of the film. “As a Chadha I whole heartedly endorse #LalSinghChadha Made us laugh and cry in unison, collective gasps emanating from the theatre audience at key cameos were excellent work by ALL!

For the uninitiated, the Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha which hit screens on August 11 has been facing boycott calls on social networking sites. Released globally, the film has not really been performing as expected at the box office. Trade reasons that the lacklustre performance of Laal Singh Chaddha is due to the competition from the other release along with mixed reviews of the film.

Brahmastra: This video of Shah Rukh Khan portrayed as Vanar Astra in the Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt starrer is going viral

Brahmastra was in the making for eight years, and is all set to finally hit the theatres this year. The mythological drama starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt has been in the news for many reasons. When the trailer was released online, the film also gave rise to many fan theories. From fans pointing the cameo of Deepika Padukone to speculations of Shah Rukh Khan playing Shiva in the film, many of these theories went viral on social media. Recently, yet another video clip associated with the film that is doing the rounds is that of Shah Rukh Khan transforming into Vanar Astra.

While rumours have always been rife that Shah Rukh Khan will be playing Vanar Astra, a video surfaced online showcasing the transformation. The trailer of Brahmastra had already given a glimpse of Vanar Astra but it did not show the face of Shah Rukh Khan. However, this video starts by showing Shah Rukh Khan, whose face looks injured and it shows his sudden transformation from a normal human to the Vanar Astra aka someone who poses the powers of Hanuman.

The video found its way to Twitter, a day ago, and since then, fans can’t stop gushing about it. However the credibility of the same is yet to be unknown as people are still unaware if it is truly a part of the film or the creativity of a talented fan.

As filmmaker Ayan Mukerji had earlier explained, Brahmastra showcases different Astras around us with Ranbir Kapoor playing the Agni Astra. The film features him in the role of Shiva whereas Alia Bhatt plays his love interest Isha. It also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in a powerful special appearance. Based on Indian mythology, the film is a part of a trilogy with Brahmastra, Shiva – 1 being the first part of the franchise.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Productions, the film is slated to hit the big screens on September 9.

“I stand by Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra unconditionally”, says Karan Johar

While the world wonders what fate has in store for Ayan Mukerji’s sci-fi-spiritual fantasy Brahmastra when it finally opens on 9 September, its producer Karan Johar stands firmly by the director.

“Ayan has given seven years of his life to Brahmastra. If he wanted, he could have made three or four films during that time. Instead he chose to focus on one project, his dream project. Ayan has lived breathed slept with Brahmastra. It is unlike anything we’ve seen in cinema. In terms of budget vision and scale it is the biggest film I’ve made,” says Karan Johar.

Karan is full of protective affection for his blue-eyed director. “Ayan has not moved socially upwards at all. He is driving the same car that he used to seven years ago. He hasn’t moved into an upscale home either. He lives now where he lived when he came to become a director. Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani which he made for my production house Dharma nine years ago was a huge hit. Ayan didn’t use that as a mean to make money. Instead he dedicated his life to making Brahmastra. I know the people in the industry are waiting to see what he has done. I know there are a lot of doubts surrounding the film. But I am confident Brahmastra will be a game changer.”

Raksha Bandhan Box Office Estimate Day 2: Akshay Kumar starrer registers a 25% drop; collects Rs. 6.25 crores

Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan has collected in the range of Rs. 6 to 6.40 crores on Friday, Day 2 which is much below even the conservative expectation of the Hindi film industry. The film registered a 25% drop from Day 1. While the drop for Laal Singh Chaddha was approx. 33%, Raksha Bandhan managed to arrest the drop at 25% keeping the hopes open for Day 3 and 4. The family theme of the movie may ensure steady collections on Saturday and Sunday.

The start on Day 2 was average across the board, including the mass centers, though the occupancy did see a spike post the afternoon shows. In some of the mass centers like Gujarat, Saurashtra, CI and Rajasthan it was better than Laal Singh Chaddha, but at all other places across India, the film lagged behind the Aamir Khan starrer.

The best hope for the movie is to finish the weekend at around Rs. 30 crores and build a steady stream of collections from thereon. Tuesday would prove to be a decisive day for the movie at the box office.

Milind Soman-Madhu Sapre’s controversial naked picture shown in Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha; Kareena Kapoor Khan’s track has an uncanny resemblance to Ranveer Singh’s nude photoshoot controversy

Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan, has finally been released in the cinemas. It is an official remake of Forrest Gump (1994) though the writers have made a few changes here and there and Indianized the narrative. A significant scene in Laal Singh Chaddha however gives a strong déjà vu of the recent controversy of Ranveer Singh.

In Forrest Gump, the protagonist is in the army and one of his teammates passes him an adult magazine in a scene. Forrest sees the picture of his crush, Jenny, on it. The voiceover of Forrest mentions that Jenny had posed for the magazine seductively in her college sweater. As a result, she was expelled from college.

In Laal Singh Chaddha, the protagonist is handed over a newspaper. His colleague points him at the controversial naked picture of Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre. Laal Singh Chaddha, however, realizes that the same issue had also published a backless picture of his childhood love, Rupa. The article along with the picture informed Laal that a legal notice was slapped on Rupa by certain organizations for promoting vulgarity.

This track in the film reminds one of Ranveer Singh’s recent nude photoshoot controversy. The talented actor’s multiple photos were published by a magazine, wherein he was seen posing without any clothing. While many appreciated this move, a lawyer complained to the cops, after which an FIR was lodged against the actor. After this development, several personalities came forward in support of Ranveer and felt that the police complaint against him is unjustified.

Interestingly, Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre’s hot picture had also led to a lot of brouhaha. In 1995, both the models had done a bold, nude photoshoot for Turf Shoes and were aesthetically covered by a python. The social service branch of the Mumbai police had registered a case against them, citing indecency. The case lasted for 14 years, after which the courts acquitted them.
