SS Rajamouli explains the difference between Hinduism religion and Hinduism the dharma; says, “If you take the religion, I am also not a Hindu”

With films like RRR and Baahubali turning into record-breaking successes, SS Rajamouli has become one of the most sought-after global filmmakers. His recent Ram Charan, Junior NTR starrer even won over American celebrities who have showcased their love for the period drama. Post such massive successes, the filmmaker also received an honour at the Beyond Fest held in Los Angeles as the festival is hosting a retrospective of his films. While attending the same, the filmmaker spoke about the difference between the Hindu religion and Hindu Dharma and explained how Hinduism is actually a way of life.

SS Rajamouli explains the difference between Hinduism religion and Hinduism the dharma; says, “If you take the religion, I am also not a Hindu”

During the festival, SS Rajamouli explained in detail about how it is not the religion but it is principles of Hinduism that hold importance. He further went on to say that he may not be a Hindu by religion but he is an ardent follower of the Hindu ‘dharma’. He said, “Many people think Hinduism is a religion, it is in the present context. But before Hinduism the religion, there existed Hinduism the dharma. It is a way of life, it is a philosophy. If you take the religion, I am also not a Hindu, but if you take the dharma, I am very much a Hindu. What I am portraying in the film is actually a way of life that has existed for many, many centuries and eons.”

The RRR filmmaker elaborated on the concept, clarifying that he does follow the ‘dharma’ aka principles of the Hindu philosophy. He also explained how Bhagavad Gita is not just a religious text but it is actually a way of life that people can adapt. “You can look at it as something that Lord Krishna has told Arjuna, so it is a Hindu religion verse, but if you look at the meaning of it, it has been taught to Indians irrespective of caste and where they were born. It’s about how to look at life, and not look at the result of what you do. That is what Hindu dharma says. So, I am a follower of Hindu dharma,” he shared.

From posting baby photos of her son Neil to her workout sessions, the actress has always maintained a rapport with the public and recently a gesture of hers left many impressed.

Not too long ago, we reported that Vikram actor Kamal Haasan has returned to the sets of his next anticipated project, Indian 2. The film also features Kajal Aggarwal alongside South-Bollywood star Rakul Preet Singh. While we are unsure of when the actress will be joining the shoot, the actress has been juggling her other professional and personal life after the arrival of her son Neil. Recently when she was taking off on a trip with her husband Gautam Kitchlu and son Neil at the Mumbai airport, paparazzi managed to capture the actress. Not only did she pose for them but she also made no attempts to cover the face of her son, unlike many other celebs. This gesture left many impressed who called them as a ‘normal couple’ who are extremely dissimilar to other starry couples. One of them even went on to compare them with Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who has never allowed paparazzi to click a photo of their daughter Vamika.

Sita Ramam [Hindi] Box Office: Film collects Rs. 8.19 cr. at the close of Week 5

The Rashmika Mandanna – Dulquer Salmaan – Mrunal Thakur starrer Sita Ramam was released five weeks ago. The Telugu film, which is said to be a period drama received positive reviews and even opened on a decent note. However, the Hindi version of the film which saw a limited release seems to have suffered considerably at the box office.

Sita Ramam [Hindi] Box Office: Film collects Rs. 8.19 cr. at the close of Week 5

In this box office report, we look at the collections of Sita Ramam at the close of its fifth week running. As expected, the Hindi dubbed version of Sita Ramam saw sharp decline in business with each passing week. After raking in Rs. 3.25 cr. in its first week, the business of the film saw a 56% decline in collections in week two with Rs. 1.43 cr. coming in. Following this, the business of Sita Ramam saw further decline of 57.53% in its third week as compared to Week 1. However, in its fourth week running the business of the Rashmika Mandanna – Dilquer Salmaan starrer saw an increase in business with Rs. 1.55 cr. being recorded. But, in its fifth week, the business saw a massive drop with just Rs. 58 lakhs coming in. With this the total collections of Sita Ramam (Hindi) at the close of its fifth week stand at Rs. 8.19 cr.

Going further the business of the film is unlikely to see much change, with trade predicting that though Sita Ramam might find takers in select locations the business will be too low to have an impact on overall collections.

Week 1 – Rs. 3.25 cr.

Week 2 – Rs. 1.43 cr.

Week 3 – Rs. 1.38 cr.

Adipurush director Om Raut breaks silence on Saif Ali Khan’s Lankesh look being compared to Khilji; says, ‘Our Ravan in today’s time is demonic’

As soon as the teaser of the Om Raut directorial Adipurush dropped, it received a mixed response. Meanwhile, a section of netizens trolled the look of Saif Ali Khan as Ravan. Now, director Om Raut and dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir have finally broken their silence.

Adipurush director Om Raut breaks silence on Saif Ali Khan’s Lankesh look being compared to Khilji; says, ‘Our Ravan in today's time is demonic’

In an interview with Aaj Tak, the director-writer duo addressed the criticism. Raut explained, “Our Ravan in today’s time is demonic, he is cruel. The one who has abducted our Goddess Sita is cruel. We have shown what Raavan look like in today’s time. This is not a film or a project for us. This is a mission for us.”

Om then went on to elaborate and asserted, “Our film is a symbol of our devotion and we need everyone’s blessings for this. Whosoever is speaking about the film are our elders. I am listening to all of them and taking note of everything. When you will watch the film in January 2023, I will not disappoint anyone.”

Muntashir added that people have only watched a 1 minute and 35 seconds-long teaser in which Saif’s Ravan is seen with a tripund (three horizontal lines on the forehead in the form of a tilak). He continued, “I want to ask which Khilji sports a tilak or a tripund? Which Khilji wears a janeu (holy thread) and rudraksh? Our Ravan sports all of these in the tiny teaser.”

The mythological film based on Ramayana is slated to release on January 12 next year. While Khan will essay Lankesh, Prabhas and Kriti Sanon will be seen as Ram and Sita.
