Long before Ryan Gosling became Ken, he was Lars. Gosling starred in the 2007 film Lars and the Real Girl as the titular character, an awkward young man involved in a romantic relationship with a life-size doll. Lars is tormented by childhood trauma and suffers from Haphephobia, a fear of touching or of being touched, and delusion. While its worlds away from Barbie Land, Lars and the Real Girl also includes Gosling romantically pursuing a doll. This similarity led Twitter user @nunosarnadas to create a Barbie tribute poster parodying Lars and the Real Girl.

Black Widow was the first movie of the MCU’s Phase 4, and while it finally gave Scarlett Johansson her first lead in the franchise, it also became a mixed-mag in both reviews and success. Arriving during the Covid pandemic, the film was released under the Day and Date strategy, which saw it arrive on Disney+ Premiere at the same time it released in theaters. This led to a low box office and a problem with piracy, as well as a lawsuit from the movie’s star over her pay agreement. However, the film did have plenty of fans, and even though the nature of the story meant that there was not going to be a sequel, that hasn’t stopped one digital artist from creating a poster for the continuation of the Black Widow franchise – with Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova leading up a collective made up of the MCU’s finest Russians.

Kangana Ranaut accuses a “womaniser superstar” of hacking her account; requests Mumbai Cyber Police to “take action”

July 30, 2023 Add Comment

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has accused two of her colleagues of criminal activities, including hacking her social media accounts, buying fake bulk tickets, and manipulating box office collections.

In a series of Instagram stories on Sunday, Ranaut said that she was informed by a fan about a scam in which people were using her name to hack into accounts. She shared a screenshot of the scam, which showed a message from someone claiming to be Ranaut's online manager.

Ranaut said that she had nothing to do with the scam and that the people behind it were part of the "film mafia." She also made some shocking claims about two of her colleagues, whom she did not name.

"Film mafia has always indulged in criminal activities," she said. "This superstar who I dated later claimed that I was dating his imposter. He used to use different numbers and accounts to chat with me, he also hacked my account and operated in a shady way."

Ranaut said that she also had a run-in with another superstar, whom she described as a "womaniser." She said that he landed at her house and begged her to date him, but she refused. She then accused him of hacking her devices and lying about his marriage and child.

Ranaut's allegations have not been verified, but they have caused a stir.

The Storyteller to have Australian premiere at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne; Paresh Rawal REACTS

July 29, 2023 Add Comment

The highly acclaimed film The Storyteller, starring the renowned actor Paresh Rawal, after having been screened in Busan is now all set to have its Australian premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne next month in August. Directed by Anant Narayan Mahadevan, the film is based on the legendary Satyajit Ray's short story "Golpo Boliye Tarini Khuro" and explores the themes of originality versus plagiarism. Alongside Rawal, the film features an exceptional ensemble cast including Adil Hussain, Revathi, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Anindita Bose, and Jayesh More.

The Storyteller is a cinematic gem that pays homage to the literary genius of Satyajit Ray. Based on the renowned author's celebrated short story, the film delves into the captivating conflict between originality and plagiarism. Through compelling storytelling and thought-provoking performances, The Storyteller poses important questions about creativity, inspiration, and the ethical boundaries of artistic expression.

Tarini Ranjan Bandhopadhyay played by Paresh Rawal, is an unconventional narrator, who has gained a reputation for his tendency to change professions, having transitioned between 32 jobs throughout his working life. At the age of 60, residing in Kolkata and widowed, Tarini's sole regret is his inability to fulfil his late wife Anuradha's long-standing wish for a vacation. With retirement now upon him and an abundance of free time, Tarini finds himself distanced from his loved ones. In The Storyteller, we delve into the life of a prosperous entrepreneur who enlists the services of a storyteller to alleviate his insomnia.

Paresh Rawal's portrayal in the lead role is a testament to his unparalleled talent and versatility as an actor. Known for his remarkable performances in both comedic and dramatic roles, Rawal brings depth and authenticity to his character in The Storyteller. His on-screen presence is complemented by a stellar ensemble cast, who deliver powerful performances that further elevate the film's impact.

Speaking about this news, Paresh Rawal shared his excitement, stating, "I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to be a part of the film which will premiere in Australia. My experience was very enthralling and satisfying. This kind of story itself is a rarity and the terrific bunch of talent as my co-artist is fulfilling. I am eternally grateful to my producers and my director Mr Ananth Mahadevan ji."

BREAKING: Abhishek Bachchan-Saiyami Kher starrer Ghoomer to release in cinemas on August 18

July 29, 2023 Add Comment

The month of August is going to be a period of sequels when it comes to Bollywood films. August 11 will see the release of Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel. If OMG Oh My God 2’s censor woes are over in time, then the Akshay Kumar-starrer will also release on the same Friday, to take advantage of the Independence Day mid-week holiday. On August 25, Dream Girl 2, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday, will hit cinemas. But now, the makers of a mid-sized film, Ghoomer, have decided to try their luck in August as well.

 

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Ghoomer, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Saiyami Kher and Shabana Azmi, will release on August 18. It is directed by R Balki and will be released in cinemas. An official announcement will take place soon after which a brief but effective marketing campaign will immediately commence.”

There’s no information yet about who’s distributing the film. But sources claim that all these aspects are taken care of and the makers are confident that they’ll get a sizable screen count despite their film releasing amid the other significant August releases.

Ghoomer is the story of a female cricketer, who, after an injury, is determined to chase her dream and learns to play the sport with her left hand. Abhishek Bachchan essays the role of the coach and the one who inspires the physically challenged cricketer to become a champion. Shabana Azmi plays Saiyami Kher’s cricket-obsessed grandmother in this film, which also stars Angad Bedi. Amitabh Bachchan also features in the film in a cameo appearance.

Big B and R Balki are quite fond of each other. The mega star has worked with the filmmaker in various films. In films that didn’t star him like Ki & Ka (2016), Pad Man (2018) and Chup (2022), he has appeared in special appearances. Abhishek, meanwhile, had worked with R Balki earlier in Paa (2009).

Ghoomer will have its premiere in Australia before its theatrical release. It has been selected as the opening film of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) which kicks off on August 11.

Bawaal, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, released on Prime Video on July 21. Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film has opened to mixed reviews. While many applauded the performances of the actors, the film was also criticized for the analogies related to Auschwitz, Hitler and World War II references. Some even called the makers insensitive for using a highly sensitive topic as analogies in a romance drama. Ambassador of Israel to India Naor Gilon on Friday spoke about the Auschwitz–Holocaust reference in Bawaal. He said that he has not watched the film, but the trivialization of the Holocaust should disturb all.

“I did not and will not watch the film Bawaal but from what I’ve read, there was a poor choice of terminology and symbolism. Trivialisation of the Holocaust should disturb all. I urge those who don’t know enough about the horrors of the #Holocaust to educate themselves about it,” the ambassador wrote.

“Our embassy is constantly working to propagate educational materials on this crucial subject, and we are open to engaging in conversations with all individuals to foster a better understanding of the universal lessons derived from the Holocaust," the Israel in India embassy tweeted.

Barbie director Greta Gerwig is a big fan of Sylvester Stallone. So much so, that she featured multiple pictures of the actor and filmmaker in Barbie. As Ken (Ryan Gosling) ventures away from Barbie Land with Barbie (Margot Robbie), he stumbles across pictures of Stallone, causing an identity crisis. Ken begins to question what a "real man" is and, in an effort to look more dominant, he starts to dress like a 1970s Stallone. In a recent interview with Uproxx, Gerwig discussed how she landed on Stallone's 1970s look for Ken and her love for the actor and the Rocky film franchise.

Manish Malhotra confirms he is making Meena Kumari biopic, says Rekha inspired him: “We are still working on the script”

July 24, 2023 Add Comment

Fashion designer Manish Malhotra is turning to direction. Ready to launch his production house Stage 5 with three movies, one of the projects will be a biopic on veteran legend, late Meena Kumari. The ace designer recently confirmed that he is indeed working on the biopic and that the scripting is currently underway.

In an interview with Film Companion, Manish Malhotra said, “I don’t know how it got out but it is happening. We are still working on the script. The script is key, always. I have been reading her books. The film is based on her books. I have always been fascinated by Meena Kumari.”

He revealed that Rekha inspired him to go ahead with the Meena Kumari project. He added, “Rekha told me once that you know when you turn 40, you will understand the genius of Meena Kumari. And that is true. But I was young and I was busy working but when I turned 40 I not only understood the genius of Meena Kumari but even Nargis ji and Dilip Kumar and Guru Dutt. I started watching that cinema and understanding it so much better. I think Meena Kumari is phenomenal with her expressions, the way she uses her eyes and her adah.”

Meena Kumari passed away at the age of 38 from liver cirrhosis. She had worked in 98 films and is considered one of the legendary stars of Indian cinema. While the project is underway, Meena Kumar’s husband Kamal Amrohi’s son Tajdar Amrohi has raised concerns over the biopic. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, he recently said, “My lawyer asked me has the film even started. I told him no, I have just heard about it. Even big production houses like to be in news. So, he told me that in case they decide to shelve the project in future, it would come across as I am publicity hungry. I am making enemies in vain. I don’t want to do that. People would think I am publicity hungry, but I am not that way.”

He added, “Is this the only couple in Bollywood left to make a film on? With all due respect to Nargis ji, Vyjanthimala ji, Reena Rai, Madhubala, Parveen Babi, Geeta Bali, there are many names. Why aren’t they making films on them? Why are they only behind my parents?”

Reportedly, Kriti Sanon has been signed for Meena Kumari biopic. Speaking of her, he said, “All I know is that she is a very good and beautiful actress. Whenever I meet her, I will tell her I am sorry if whatever I said hurt her. All that I said was for the person who is going to do the film, be it you or someone else. I’ll tell her you are a very popular and good actress and you might think of me as an enemy, but I am not one. Please treat me as your friend and advisor.” ALSO READ: Ranveer Singh shares BTS moments from Manish Malhotra’s show; watch

Brands excited about Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani; to buy nearly 50,000 tickets for Ranveer Singh & Alia Bhatt film

July 23, 2023 Add Comment

After the success of Gully Boy, Ranveer Singh, and Alia Bhatt are reuniting on the Karan Johar-directed Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. But obviously, the film is keenly awaited by everyone - from the audiences to the industry - as everyone is hoping for Karan Johar to set the cash registers ringing at the box office in India. The excitement of the film release has extended itself to the brands as well, as several top brands across India have come together to support Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

"Rare are the films which can be watched by an entire family and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is one of those. Hence, brands are planning to reward their consumers with free tickets over the weekend. Two of Ranveer Singh's biggest brands, Kajaria and Pepsi, will be partnering with PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis to treat their consumers with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani," revealed a trade source to Bollywood Hungama, adding further that a leading biotechnology company will also be partnering with Karan Johar, PVR, Inox and Cinepolis for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.  "The biotech firm owner has close ties with Karan Johar, and this is a mark to showcase the friendship."

"Apart from brands and biotech companies, Dharma Productions, and Ranveer will be teaming up with some colleges across the country to experience Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani on the first day. The idea is to have youth on board and lead to a faster spread of word of mouth. The team is very confident in the content and wants word of mouth to reach the target audience as soon as possible. This is Karan's masterstroke to sample the film to a wider segment of the audience and build things up for a big Sunday," the source informed, adding further that the idea to sample the film for college kids came from the reactions that Ranveer got from the youth. "Some colleges reached out to Karan's team for promotions at their campus. Karan and Ranveer are obliging to demand for a visit by stars by treating some of the college kids with the film."

While the exact count is not known yet, the excited brands are confident to have over 50,000 people watch Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani via them, since there is a lot of anticipation around the film in the audiences. With 4 days to go, the excitement is clearly around the corner for the release of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani with tremendous demand for tickets across the sectors. The advance bookings open tomorrow all across the nation.

Zeenat Aman to return to silver screen with Bun Tikki, set to join Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol

July 23, 2023 Add Comment

Veteran actor Zeenat Aman, who has been garnering a lot of attention due to her Instagram, will return to the silver screen with Faraz Arif Ansari’s next, Bun Tikki. Last seen in Panipat, she will join actors Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol in the upcoming movie. The plan is to take the movie on floors by November of this year in Himachal Pradesh. The director plans to talk about parenting and gender identity throughout the movie. Abhay Deol will play the role of a father.

According to a report in Mid-Day, a source from the creative team revealed, “Though Bun Tikki revolves around Abhay and his on-screen son, Shabana and Zeenat form the film’s backbone. Casting for the child is underway. When Faraz approached Zeenat, she loved the script. She always knew that if she made a comeback, it would be with a story that aligned with her ideas and beliefs. Bun Tikki was just that. She told Faraz she had to be a part of this film as it explores many causes she feels strongly about.”

The source further revealed, “Children have to deal with many issues today, which also play a role in creating their identity as an adult. Often, the onus is on children to behave better and achieve certain goals, but the film places equal responsibility on parents. It celebrates the power of love, kindness and friendship.”

Manish Malhotra is set to produce the film under the banner Stage 5. The designer wants to focus on lesser-told stories through his production house. ALSO READ: Zeenat Aman impresses fans with rap debut in new ad; watch

Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan to share stage at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne

July 22, 2023 Add Comment

The 14th edition of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) is all set to kick off from August 11 to 20. Apart from the many movies that would be screened at the festival, the other attraction that the festival offers is the presence of a number of Indian film celebrities. Like previous editions, this time also a list of Bollywood celebrities would be gracing the occasion.

Interestingly, during the opening of the IFFM, filmmaker Karan Johar and star actor Kartik Aaryan would be present. Not just that, the two would also be sharing the stage! This is going to be a big moment that is sure to get heads turned.

For the unversed, there was an alleged fallout between Karan and Kartik in 2021 over the making of Dostana 2, the second film in the franchise. Kartik was cast in the film but he walked out of the project after starting it off. Hence, there were reports of a major fallout between the two. However, neither Karan nor Kartik confirmed the same.

In June last year, Karan and Kartik were spotted sharing the same table at an awards function. It will be interesting to see if there will be any interaction between the two when they share the stage together at the 14th IFFM.

The other guests that are expected to grace the festival include, Shabana Azmi, Mrunal Thakur, Rana Daggubati, Anurag Kashyap, R Balki, Malaika Arora, Saiyami Kher, Sunny Leone, among others.

Sharing more about the film, Pandit added, “The announcement of the cast itself had created a huge buzz and now the trailer has added to the excitement. By now, the audience has an idea of the story too which revolves around three clueless young boys trying to make money by turning a simple-middle-class home into a secret gambling den. It is a situational comedy, and the trailer too radiates the fun and chaotic energy of the plot.”

Tron Ekka is Pandit’s fourth film with Vaishal Shah’s Jannock Films after Fakt Mahilao Maate, Chehre (Hindi film which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi) and Days Of Tafree. “Both of us share a common love for family entertainers and we had a great time making this film together.”  Vaishal said, “We want to bring back wholesome cinema that the entire family can watch together and as the trailer shows, this film is packed with pure entertainment.”

Tron Ekka will be releasing in theatres on August 18.

Jaswant Singh Khalra Biopic makers oppose CBFC's 21 cuts; Bombay High Court to continue arguments today

July 21, 2023 Add Comment

The upcoming biopic on Jaswant Singh Khalra, which will star Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role while Arjun Rampal appears in a crucial role, has been in the headlines quite for a time now ever since the production company RSVP Movies, filed an appeal in the Bombay High Court seeking orders against the CBFC for the cuts that were asked to be done for releasing the film. In the latest update, the hearing that happened yesterday in the court, RSVP presented the remaining cuts and the court has asked to come today to complete the argument at 02:30 PM again.

As the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared the film with an A certificate and asked makers for 21 cuts which includes the removal of certain dialogues, the movie's disclaimer, and its title and RSVP Movies by Ronnie Screwvala filed an appeal to the Bombay High Court under Section 5C of the Cinematograph Act, arguing that the cuts violated Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution and that the cuts were not covered under the Cinematograph Act.

In the latest update, the hearing happened yesterday where the RSVP team argued on the remaining other cuts and were presented to the honourable judge. Starting from the 5th cut the team took the honourable judge to the 21st cut and commenced the arguments by explaining how every cut is based on proper documentation, making sure it's a well-researched film. RSVP Movies truly stand straight while opposing the cuts to keep the premise of the film intact while CBFC was appealing that the cuts are important.

Further to this, as the additional solicitor general Anil C. Singh who was appearing on behalf of CBFC has retired from his office and therefore CBFC’s lawyer was seeking time, however, the court refused the same. Therefore, the court called the further hearing today at 02:30 PM.

The Jaswant Singh Khalra biopic is directed by Honey Trehan and while Diljit plays the titular role, Arjun Rampal also has a pivotal part in it.

Oppenheimer is a highly anticipated film helmed by the acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan. Drawing inspiration from the Pulitzer Prize-winning book "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer" by Kai Bird and Martin J.

The storyline explores Oppenheimer's character, caught in a paradoxical situation where he must risk destroying the world in order to save it.

Robert Oppenheimer, accompanied by other accomplished actors such as Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, and Emily Blunt.

To be shot extensively in Abu Dhabi, the film will have four tracks that promise to top the chartbuster list and break all records.

Actor Sharman Joshi said, "With the film all ready to roll, I am absolutely excited. The films that Sahil and I did earlier brought about a lot of appreciation for the chemistry we shared on screen. It was our first commercial hit that was seen by Raju Hirani sir too, who then signed me for 3 Idiots (2009)."

Actor Sahil Khan said, "The writer and the director - Sam Khan - and I have known each other for long and am absolutely delighted to work under his direction. Also, this film brings Sharman and me together once again. He's a superb actor and a wonderful person to work with."

Producer Hitesh Khushalani said, "Bringing back Sharman Joshi and Sahil Khan together for a film is our attempt to recreate the camaraderie they once shared on screen. Sharman's comic timing is too good,  and Sahil's sense of humour is natural. They both will make the audience burst into peels of laughter."

Direction and story written by Sam Khan and with screenplay and dialogues by Milap Zaveri, the yet to be titled film is produced by White Lion Motion Picture Production, producer Hitesh Khushalani, and co-produced by Bhuvi Khushalani, Zafar Mehdi and Ishaan Dutta.

 CBFC Chairperson Prasoon Joshi to watch OMG Oh My God 2 today after the Akshay Kumar-starrer was referred to the Revising Committee

CBFC Chairperson Prasoon Joshi to watch OMG Oh My God 2 today after the Akshay Kumar-starrer was referred to the Revising Committee

July 16, 2023 Add Comment

Last week, Bollywood Hungama reported that the upcoming Akshay Kumar film, OMG Oh My God 2, has faced a little hindrance, thanks to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The Examining Committee (EC) of the CBFC referred the film to the Revising Committee (RC). As per reports, the decision was taken as OMG Oh My God 2 deals with religious issues and the committee wanted to make sure that it doesn’t hurt any sentiments. Reportedly, the CBFC is over-cautious about such films after they got slammed for passing Adipurush with zero cuts, whose dialogues and scenes raised a hue and cry.

Bollywood Hungama has now exclusively learnt that the screening for the Revising Committee will take place today, that is, on Monday, July 17. Prasoon Joshi, the chairperson of the CBFC, will be a part of this screening.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Usually, the Chief Executive Officer of the CBFC, Ravinder Bhakar, awards the certificate. His signature is seen on almost all the censor certificates. But in the case of OMG Oh My God 2, Prasoon Joshi himself will go through the film and make a decision accordingly. He has decided to spearhead the RC as the CBFC wants to be fully sure that OMG Oh My God 2 doesn’t have any scene or dialogue that can cause a problem.”

Industry insiders, however, are confident that OMG Oh My God 2 will sail through the censor process. An expert commented, “Did the first part of OMG Oh My God cause any controversy despite its content? The makers had smartly made that film and taken a balanced approach. The second part is also handled in the same manner. Let’s not forget that Akshay Kumar himself is quite religious and would never agree to be a part of a film that can hurt religious sentiments. of his beloved fans.”

OMG Oh My God 2 features Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva and it also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam. It releases on August 11 and will clash with Sunny Deol-Ameesha Patel starrer Gadar 2 in cinemas.

When it comes to some of the most disastrous and widely panned superhero movies, Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern stands tall as one of the worst rated DC movies ever made. This is not just an opinion shared by a few people, and Reynolds himself acknowledged the failure of the movie by including it as part of a joke in Deadpool 2, when the Marvel character was seen “righting the wrong” of that movie by killing Ryan Reynolds before he could take on the role of Hal Jordan. However, when it comes to box office results, it looks like this year’s The Flash is going to end its run with a lower domestic box office total than even Reynolds’ failed movie.

While not getting into specifics here, so as to avoid divulging spoilers, the ending was devised by star Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie to feel like a "satisfying" conclusion of the story, even if the door is left open to hint at what's to come in Dead Reckoning Part Two. In a new interview with Total Film, McQuarrie reveals how insistent Cruise had been that the Part One should not end with a typical cliffhanger that's usually found at the end of these kinds of two-part movies.

The new horror film, birth/rebirth, directed by Laura Moss, received acclaim when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier in the year, and now audiences will get to see the disturbing horror that's been a hit with critics. The film explores the darker sides of child-rearing with a twisted and queasily clinical approach. Marin Ireland plays a pathologist named Rose, who becomes obsessed with using science to bring a dead child back to life. The film explores the themes of birth, death, and the way beyond. The Hollywood Reporter writes that birth/rebirth is not for the faint of heart and takes cues from classic horror films such as Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator, Dracula, and Frankenstein in its grisly portrayal of two women who resurrect a little girl's corpse in the name of science and love. Check out the trailer below:
