Ajay Devgn’s leading ladies: that Southern twist. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Is it due to the fact that his first-ever co-star was Madhoo, a South Indian but
Mumbai-based actress, in Phool Aur Kaante (they co-starred again in Diljale)? Whatever the reason, Ajay Devgn has a predilection for South Indian heroines! Let us also not forget Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, for whom Ajay, along with Salman Khan, was her breakthrough hero in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. They later also did Khakee and Raincoat together.
The past list also includes the North Indian actresses who started out down South —
Kajal Aggarwal (Singham), Ileana D’Cruz (Raid), who did 18 films down South before her Hindi debut, Tamannaah Bhatia (Himmatwala) and Rakul Preet Singh (De De Pyaar De). And of course we have had Rambha (Jung) and Asin(London Dreams, Bol Bachchan).

For veteran Bollywood filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, his latest film “12th Fail” is the gift that keeps on giving.
Based on the 2019 book of the same name by Anurag Pathak, the film tells the true story of Manoj Kumar Sharma who conquered extreme familial poverty to pass one of the world’s toughest examination processes and become an Indian Police Service officer.
Distributed by Zee Studios, the modestly budgeted “12th Fail” released theatrically in October 2023 in a Bollywood market where only big-budget action spectacles were working and many smaller films were taking the easier route to bowing directly on a streamer. The lead cast of Vikrant Massey (Disney+ Series “Criminal Justice”) and Medha Shankr, while extremely competent, were not marquee names.
The film struck a chord with audiences and has grossed $8.5 million to date, more than three times its budget. “Each film has its own God, and it’s always...

Mumbai, Feb 23 (Ians) Veteran filmmaker J.P. Dutta, who has made films such as ‘Border’, ‘Loc Kargil’ and ‘Refugee’, was conferred with the prestigious Maharashtra Bhushan Raj Kapoor Award for his exceptional contributions to Indian cinema.
Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra received the prestigious Raj Kapoor Special Contribution Award by Maharashtra Government’s Cultural Division at the Maharashtra Bhushan Awards for his contribution.
Dutta was feted by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The honour was given to him at the award ceremony held in Mumbai.
The ‘Border’ director said: “This recognition means everything as it comes from the place I was born and brought up in. This state, this city is my home and there is nothing bigger than to be honoured by your home. Also for a boy who started his career from Rk film studios to be given an award named after Raj Kapoor is a feeling I can’t put into words.

‘All India Rank’ aka ‘Air’ as used in the academic parlance, has released at a time when the immediate reference that comes to my mind, is a comparison with Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s ’12th Fail’ (released on 27 October 2023) but that too only for the genre of the narrative – lower middle class setting and competitive exams! Otherwise, both the films are poles apart in terms of the story telling, acting and everything else.
‘All India Rank’ tries to address issues close to the Indian middle-class milieu, but it gets lost through its multiple storylines that try to prove the point. Ultimately the audience remain clueless deriving the purpose after spending 94 minutes seeing things that neither entertain nor communicate. The last sentence of the film (about control in life) is what the director needs to think about very seriously.

She reached out to me to write the lyrics for her documentary focused on Mumbai’s street children. She was aiming to capture their essence through a singular song rather than conventional commentary. I happily agreed.
Guided by Imtiaz, I found myself at a studio to meet Ehsaan Noorani. Soon after, his partner Shankar Mahadevan arrived. It was a brief yet defining interaction. In just minutes, he composed a musical masterpiece, leaving a lasting impression on me.

The enigmatic greys of a Kashmir winter in ‘Haider’, the many tones of black in ‘Maqbool’ with such visual poetry where each note stands out, Vishal Bhardwaj’s cinema has never shouted ‘independent’ but subtly stood out from the movies of his time.
Not hyper-realistic in its treatment, it is Bhardwaj’s visual poetry that makes the thematic essence pull in reality at its most profound.
“What you call visual poetry in my films emerges from the deep-rooted love for poetry that never leaves me,” Bhardwaj told Ians. “Therefore, there is always an effort to lend a certain rhythm and deeper meaning to everything that happens in front of the camera.”
Together with Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee and Tigmanshu Dhulia, Bhardwaj has been instrumental in ushering in a new era in Indian cinema after the almost traumatic 80s when Hindi cinema hit its lowest. He believes, though, that the independent...

Kangana Ranaut Takes Digs At Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Wife Anupama Chopra(Photo Credit –Instagram/wikimedia)
Kangana Ranaut is one person who is impossible to decode. On days, she will love, and on other days, she will hate some. And this time, her wrath has been unleashed upon a famous film critic, journalist, and Bollywood life. So, like most of the time, Ms Ranaut has decided to take things out of context and put them in her hypothetical perspectives.
Kangana decided to take brutal digs at Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s wife for suggesting things about 12th Fail, which might have been true in terrible circumstances, but hopefully, the film worked well.
On her X account (formerly known as Twitter), Kangana Ranaut, through her account, Kangana Team, called out names for Anupama Chopra in a rather distasteful tweet. Anyone would have been shocked to read the contents of this tweet, which is now going viral.

Netflix has unveiled the first footage from ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,’ a period drama series by Bollywood’s supreme on-screen stylist Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Hrithik Roshan is currently flying high with Siddharth Anand’s Fighter, where he plays an Indian Air Force Officer, on a mission amidst the Pulwama terror attack. This brought us back to a time when he played a terrorist on-screen in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Mission Kashmir.
Hrithik was signed for the film, even before his debut, for two reasons. A. Vvc saw his rushes and found his acting pieces suited for his film. B. Hrithik came cheap since his market rate was yet to be established!
You won’t believe it, but Vidhu Vinod Chopra signed Hrithik Roshan for the film against 11 lakh! This was 4 lakh less than the actress Preity Zinta, who was paid 15 lakh for the film. However, things changed once Kaho Na Pyar Hai was released! Hrithik was the nation’s new heartthrob,...

We’re in the final phase for Bollywood films in Koimoi Audience Poll 2023 & it’s time to choose your favorite director of the year. From Atlee delivering a true-blue pan-India commercial blockbuster in Shah Rukh Khan‘s Jawan to Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s controversial take on toxic masculinity in Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, below are the options.
Atlee (Jawan)
Atlee has studied extensively and knows precisely how to play with the nerves of the Indian audience. With Jawan, he serves precisely what would be lapped up by an Indian audience with some additional masala.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga (Animal)
This is Sandeep Reddy Vanga going into the egomaniacal mode to make a movie that would take toxic masculinity to the other extreme end of Kabir Singh/Arjun Reddy.

London-based Pranab Kapadia, a seasoned Bollywood media executive with stints at studios Eros and Zee, now runs U.K. distribution company Moviegoers Entertainment, whose distribution roster includes hits “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” (2023) and 2022’s “The Legend of Maula Jatt,” “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” and “Jugjugg Jeeyo.” Kapadia also serves as a producer with Hope Productions (“Chup”).
Accurate box office numbers for Indian films are notoriously difficult to come by and fragmented. Moviegoers painstakingly compiles box office numbers from a variety of reliable sources.
