Abhishek Bachchan is back in the theaters with I Want To Talk, and the film has opened very low owing to the niche audiences it is targetting. However, this is the same audience who watched Shoojit Sircar’s last theatrical release October, starring Varun Dhawan!

I Want To Talk Box Office Day 1

On the opening day, Friday, November 22, the film earned a range of 0.25 – 0.30 crore. This is the second lowest opening of this year after LSD 2: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha 2’s 0.15 crore. However, the film might grow owing to the positive word of mouth!

After much hype, Vikrant Massey’s The Sabarmati Report witnessed a very dull opening day at the box office, with the film earning very low, in fact one of the lowest in the year 2024. However, is Vikrant Massey entering a dark tunnel? Not sure and we’ll tell you why!

On the opening day, the tragic film on the Godhra Kaand of Gujarat earned in the range of 1.15 – 1.40 crore at the box office. This is a very low number but here’s why it might not be a dead end and there might be light at the end of this tunnel!

Women-oriented films have long had a varied track record at the box office, but this year, singer-turned-actor Dhvani Bhanushali has emerged victorious with her debut film, Kahaan Shuru Kahaan Khatam.

Since the pandemic, the box office has struggled, with even the most anticipated films faltering. However, 2024 has seen a resurgence of women-led narratives, with some films exceeding expectations while others did not fare as well. Among the successes is Kahaan Shuru Kahaan Khatam, which drew audiences to theaters on its opening day.

Dhvani Bhanushali’s film achieved an opening day collection of ₹1.08 crores, a noteworthy figure considering the competitive landscape. It outperformed several major releases, signaling a positive trend for women-oriented films. The film debuted on World Cinema Day, when ticket prices were significantly reduced to celebrate cinema. At just ₹99 per ticket, the film attracted over 100,000 viewers—a significant accomplishment.

This year has seen a mix of performances from women-centric films.

Ileana D’Cruz recently shared a heartwarming series of photos on Instagram to celebrate her son Koa Phoenix Dolan’s first birthday. The Bollywood actress, known for her roles in films such as “Barfi!” and “Raid,” gave fans a glimpse into her family’s joyful celebration, marking a significant milestone for her and her beau Michael Dolan.

In the lead photo, Ileana is seen wearing a printed blue dress, while Michael is casually dressed in a white shirt and pants. Their son, Koa, looked adorable as he gazed away from the camera. The family’s smiles captured the happiness of the occasion.

Sharing the pictures, Ileana captioned her post with an emotional note, “Where did the time go?? Just like that, my baby is 1 .” The post included various moments from the celebration, showcasing Koa playing with his toys and birthday decorations, and enjoying his birthday treats. In a particularly tender moment,...

India’s Ellipsis Entertainment, following acclaim for “Do Aur Do Pyaar” and “Sharmajee Ki Beti,” is set to produce a film based on a notorious fraud. The untitled project will delve into the controversial 1971 Nagarwala case that rocked a Delhi branch of the State Bank of India.

The Nagarwala case centers on alleged double agent Rustom Sohrab Nagarwala, who supposedly impersonated then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to convince the head cashier to withdraw INR6 million from the bank. However, the exact details of the incident remain disputed.

The investigation was led by Hari Dev Kaushal, then Station House Officer of Delhi’s Chanakyapuri locality, known for his effective and compassionate approach to law enforcement. Kaushal, who passed away at 91, left a lasting impression on the police force.

Kaushal is the father of Bollywood actors Rahul Dev and Mukul Dev. Mukul Dev, who wrote Hansal Mehta’s 2017 Toronto title “Omerta,” joins...

A decade into marriage, and the sparks have long faded for Kavya and Ani. Living separate lives under the same roof in bustling Mumbai, the dentist and cork factory worker seek comfort elsewhere, neither willing to admit what’s become painfully clear.

When duty calls Kavya back to her hometown in the southern hills, Ani tags along, revisiting the places where their own whirlwind romance once thrived. Through flashbacks, we see the charismatic couple they were, their hopes running high as they embarked on their adventure together.

Under the watchful eye of Kavya’s disapproving father, present-day tensions mount. Will this forced family reunion reignite what drew them to each other all those years ago or merely drive the final nail into the coffin of their troubled union?

Deftly directing this drama of damaged relationships is Shirsha Guha Thakurta, with superb lead performances from Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi anchoring...

Imagine a couple who share everything—utensils, electric bills, mortgage payments, even a bed—but there’s no love left. They stay together out of habit, forgetting they once shared a deep love. This is exactly what happened to Kavya (portrayed by Vidya Balan) and Ani (played by Pratik Gandhi) in the film Do Aur Do Pyaar. They were married for 12 years and had been in a relationship for three years before that. However, after 15 years together, their love seemed to have faded. Both Kavya and Ani find themselves in affairs without the other’s knowledge. Ani is involved with Nora (played by Ileana D’Cruz), while Kavya has feelings for Vikram (played by Sendhil Ramamurthy). But is the love completely gone between Kavya and Ani? The film takes us on a journey where circumstances force them to spend time together after so long. For a love that has lasted this...

Vidya Balan has consistently showcased her acting prowess across a diverse range of films since her entry into Bollywood. She achieved her childhood dream of becoming a Bollywood actress and has since delivered numerous brilliant performances. Recently, she made headlines with her striking transformation at the premiere of “Chandu Champion.”

At the premiere, Vidya Balan was seen with her nephew, her sister’s son, and she even humorously clarified to the paparazzi, “Now don’t say that this is my son. He is my sister’s son.” Fans were delighted by her new look, flooding the comment section with admiration. Comments ranged from “Looking gorgeous, looking like she is in her 20s” to “Love how she transformed herself” and “Wow!…She is looking much prettier now.” Another user expressed, “Woww Vidya Balan was my fav for so long… she is looking more young and beautiful.”

After watching Pratik Gandhi’s recent performances, I can definitely say he is a rising star! Whether it’s in movies like Do Aur Do Pyaar or Madgaon Express, his acting always steals the show. I felt the same way while watching Dedh Bigha Zameen on Jio Cinema, directed by Pulkit. This film tells the story of the common man—those who strive to live but are still oppressed by societal injustice. They are often forgotten and seen as insignificant. Pratik’s portrayal of Anil Singh, who dreams of getting his sister married, is a tale to be remembered. In an age where bribery is illegal, there are still people who treat marriage as a business. Anil Singh sacrifices everything, including being the man of the house, to fulfill his sister’s dream of marrying into a nice family. To achieve this, they need a lot of money and must...

It was in the year 2020, a lazy June afternoon amidst the lockdown and Corona scare, that the world had to witness the shocking news and visuals of Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. The 34-year-old actor reportedly died by suicide, and now Manoj Bajpayee has opened up about what Ssr was going through in his last days.

Sushant and Manoj worked together in Son Chiriya and came close during the shooting of the film. It was then that Sushant shared his stress regarding the constant blind articles that were published against him.

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are all set to embrace parenthood, and the couple announced a few months ago that they would add a member to their family in September. However, we know that the internet and social media these days spare none.

So even Dp’s pregnancy was scrutinized with people steeping too low to judge the size of the baby bump, intrude her personal life, discussing if she has opted for surrogacy, and recently even speculating why Ranveer deleted their wedding pictures from Instagram.

Now, with a new spotting of the couple,Deepika Padukone‘s pregnancy mood swing has become the talk of the town as the actress spotted a pap filming her secretly. She faked to ignore the camera until she came close and playfully hid the lens with her hand.

Shah Rukh Khan inspires many people, including many Bollywood celebrities. Many actors and actresses say they dreamt of starring in Hindi films because of the superstar. Srk’s rags-to-riches story motivates everyone to put their best foot forward. One such actor who is a big Srk fan and always calls him an inspiration is Rajkummar Rao.

There’s so much to learn from Shah Rukh Khan. He is not only a successful actor but also a flourishing businessman with Red Chillies Entertainment and the Kkr Ipl team. The Dunki actor’s sea-facing Mannat mansion is a dream house. Shah Rukh gave a smart advice to Rajkummar Rao about investing in a good property.

Hindi Films April 2024 Box Office Performs Much Lower Than South Indian Films ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

It has been a very bad month for Hindi films in particular. April 2024 box office report card seems like a disaster when compared to the April performances of the last few years. Five Hindi films were released in April 2024 – the biggest of them being Maidaan and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which were supposed to churn out a phenomenal Eid this year.

When compared to the other industries, South Indian films collectively performed much better than the Hindi Film Industry, with Malayalam films, in particular, taking the lead at the box office. In together, while Hindi films collected 121 crore, South Indian films collectively earned 179.01 crore at the box office in April.

The five Hindi films that were supposed to bring the April 2024 box office a respectable number were Do Aur Do Pyaar, LSD 2, and Ruslaan, which...

Do Aur Do Pyaar, starring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Sendhil Ramamurthy, and Ileana D’Cruz, was released in theatres on April 19, 2024. This romantic comedy, directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta, mostly received positive reviews. It tells the story of a married couple in Mumbai who have forgotten what it’s like to love each other. The husband and wife find comfort and affection in someone else, but circumstances remind them of how much they were in love in the past, reigniting their romance.

Suprotim Sengupta, Amrita Bagchi, and Eisha Chopra wrote the film’s story. What makes “Do Aur Do Pyaar” such an endearing watch is the rawness in its execution and how authentic the emotions of love and heartbreak feel. Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi’s chemistry is also a winner. Koimoi spoke to the film’s director, Shirsha Guha Thakurta,...

Vidya Balan is very grateful for all the love, positive responses, and rave reviews she has received for her performance in Do Aur Do Pyaar. Directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta and also starring Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, Do Aur Do Pyaar is a modern rom-com that talks about love and its importance, complexities, and realities hidden behind the happy ever after.

On being asked about her experience working with debut Director Shirsha, she expressed, “Shirsha is a fantastic storyteller. While working with her I got a sense of that she’s an absolutely self-assured in terms of her craft. She’s not trying to impress you which you can see beautifully in the film also. She enjoys the process of storytelling and that comes through. I felt it during the process of making the film ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ with her and I felt that while I watched the film multiple times.

Ileana D’Cruz Lost South Film Offers After Bollywood Debut With Barfi! (Photo Credit – IMDb)

Ileana D’Cruz has proved her acting chops with some versatile roles in films like Jalsa, Pokiri, Nanban, and Rustom. She made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with Anurag Basu’s directorial Barfi. But did you know she lost South film offers because people thought she would never do regional films again? Scroll below for the unknown trivia.

Barfi is a period romantic comedy starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Ileana D’Cruz in the lead. The film turned out to be a super hit affair at the box office with collections of 120 crores net from India alone. Ileana also won the 58th Filmfare Award for the best female debut.

While Ileana D’Cruz enjoyed rave reviews and widespread appreciation for her performance in Barfi, she unfortunately missed out on many South film opportunities. She revealed to India Today,...

Do Aur Do Pyaar”, a romantic drama film, has been receiving mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Despite its promising premise, the movie has failed to impress at the box office. The film’s storyline, which revolves around an estranged couple trying to rekindle their marriage, has been praised for its originality. However, the execution and pacing have been criticized for being slow and unengaging.

The movie’s performance at the box office has been underwhelming, with a mere ₹28 lakh nett on day 5 and a total of ₹2.89 crore nett in India in five days. This is a disappointing start for a film that had generated decent buzz pre-release.

The movie’s failure to connect with audiences can be attributed to its slow pace and lack of engaging dialogue. Despite this, the film’s performances have been praised, with the lead actors receiving accolades for their portrayal of complex characters.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie Paycheck!

Reports suggest that Rajinikanth‘s paycheck for Loki’s film amounts to a whopping 280 crore! This is massive and probably one of the highest paid in the country. However, none has confirmed or denied the staggering amount being speculated as the superstar’s payment.

The film will be released in 2025, and only the announcement of the film has garnered so much love and hysteria. In a long teaser, Rajinikanth is introduced as Coolie . This is the same film that has a rumored appearance by Shah Rukh Khan as well.

Box Office – Do Aur Do Pyaar stays stable on Tuesday, first target is 10 crores ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

After collecting 50 lakhs on Monday, Do Aur Do Pyaar stayed stable on Tuesday as 50 lakhs more came in. There is practically zero drop on a day-on-day basis, which is good. However, what’s required is that this stays like this today and tomorrow. Now, that would be tough, but if it indeed turns out to be the case, then that would be some sort of relief.

That said, the best thing would have been no drop from Friday to Monday. Now, that would have indicated the kind of trend that would have taken the film in that 15-20 crores zone. With a completely open period ahead, that would have been possible as well. However, for now, everything will boil down to whether there is traction in the second weekend, too. There is only...

The lackluster phase of Hindi cinema is here. Probably the dullest week of the month happens to be here. Out of all, two theatrical releases are scheduled to happen this week. One of them is Do Aur Do Pyaar. Despite having a trustworthy star cast including Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz and Sendhil Ramamurthy, the film has no buzz and no excitement among the audience.

Do Aur Do Pyaar marks the feature film debut of director Shirsha Guha Thakurta. She explores the concept of extramarital affairs and conflicts in marriage and love. But is the Indian audience ready to accept a bold and unconventional concept? The current scenario at the box office won’t permit them to do so. With a reduction in people’s attention span, a complicated love story might test patience.

The music of a film plays an important role in building hype for a film.

With fresh pairings that inject new energy into the genre, audiences eagerly anticipate a delightful journey filled with love, laughter, and modern relationships.

Box Office – Maidaan collects more than double of Friday on Sunday (Photo Credit – IMDb)

After collecting 1.60 crores on Friday, Maidaan more than doubled up on Sunday as 3.30 crores* came in. This shows good trending since Saturday collections had already grown to 2.83 crores and to see further increment on top of that is some sort of a relief for the film which didn’t grow the same in the first weekend.

The lack of any sort of competition further helped Maidaan as it turned out to be the No. 1 choice of the audiences. Out of new releases, only Do Aur Do Pyaar has managed to collect 3.43 crores in its first weekend, and Maidan has brought in almost the same number on just Sunday, and that too in its second week.

One now waits to see how collections turn out to be from Monday onwards because if today they end up comparing...

“Maidaan” is currently the top-performing film, surpassing “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” and new releases like “Do Aur Do Pyaar” and “LSD 2: Love, Sex Aur Dhokha 2.” While day-wise numbers show improvement, the overall total remains modest.

The film is mainly collecting well in select urban centers, with mass pockets showing weak performance. However, the lack of prominent releases in the coming weeks may help “Maidaan” sustain its box office presence.

In its second week, “Maidaan” earned 1.51 crores on Friday, 2.83 crores on Saturday, and 3.15 crores on Sunday, totaling 35.79 crores in India.

During its first week, including previews and Eid, the film earned 28.30 crores.

Box Office – Do Aur Do Pyaar comes close to 3.50 crores over the weekend, is on the same lines as Laapataa Ladies (Photo Credit –Facebook)

Do Aur Do Pyaar was stable on Sunday as 1.35 crore came in. This is a bit of an increment over Saturday collections of 1.28 crore, though a higher growth that would have taken the film past the 1.50-1.75 crore range would have been even better.

The film is running at the selected count of screens and shows because Eid releases Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan still have maximum showcasing. For Do Aur Do Pyaar to challenge that further, it needs to keep demonstrating even better occupancy at the screens where it’s already playing so that collections from Monday onwards also keep the momentum going. Looking at the trend so far, it could well turn out to be the case, and hopefully, Bollywood will have something...

It has been 45 years since Hrishikesh Mukerjee’s classic film Gol Maal was released in the theaters. The film received a cult status the moment people walked out of the theaters smiling. And it still leaves you with a smile whenever you watch the classic.

The film starred Amol Palekar and Utpal Dutt in the lead role, with Bindiya Goswami, Shubha Khote, and Dina Pathak in the supporting lead. It earned a blockbuster status at the box office.

Years later, Rohit Shetty was so inspired by the film that he took inspiration twice. Once for Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, which borrowed only the name of the Og classic, and for the second time, he attempted a remake that was titled Bol Bachchan!

It was a fair start for this Friday release Do Aur Do Pyaar as 80 lakhs came in. This is actually also on expected lines since the current season is just not conducive for films, as has been seen with Eid releases all well, and hence everything is boiling down to word of mouth.

What works in favor of this urban romcom is the fact that the reports are good, both from critics as well as that segment of audiences which has watched it.

Add to that the trailer which further established that this one is going to be quite some risqué experience and hence would need to be watched with caution. Hence, it was always going to be word of mouth that pulls in the audiences from Saturday onwards instead of numbers being expected from Friday itself.

It has been a very low opening though with 15 lakhs* coming in, which means it’s pretty much a starting point itself for the film today. The film has been released on a restricted count of screens and shows and it would all depend now...

Do Aur Do Pyaar

Starring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, and Sendhil Ramamurthy

Director: Shirsha Guha Thakurta

Set aside half a star extra for Vidya Balan’s sterling performance. That apart, Do Aur Do Pyaar is a far superior work to almost every film you’ve seen this year. It is breezy and lighthearted, but never frivolous. Director Shirsha Guha Thakurta dives deep into a marriage in crisis. Miraculously, she finds a lot of laughter and humour in the crisis. This in no way trivializes the marital conundrum.

The writing is clearly the star of the show. When you add an actor of Vidya Balan’s calibre to what’s from the outset, a screenplay woven from the threads of real life, the end result is bound to be something special.

That, Do Aur Do Pyaar (why the bland title for such a grand film?) is. It is a...

Vidya appeared on the stage of the kids’ singing reality show along with her ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ co-star Pratik Gandhi.

Atharav from Hazaribagh, Jharkhand won hearts with his magical version of the song ‘Humari Adhuri Kahani’, accompanied by his team captain Pawandeep Rajan on the piano.

Praising the performance, Vidya said: “Atharva, thank you so much; your performance touched my heart deeply, and I am blessed to have witnessed your singing. At 12, you’ve managed to evoke such strong emotions in me, I had goosebumps throughout your song, and I am so emotional right now. Honestly, I’m at a loss for words.

The much-anticipated romantic comedy film “Do Aur Do Pyaar” has been released in theaters today, April 19. Directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta, the movie promises to deliver a delightful blend of romance and humor.

Plot Overview:

The film revolves around the story of a married couple, Kavya Ganeshan (played by Vidya Balan) and Aniruddh Banerjee (played by Pratik Gandhi), who navigate the complexities of love and marriage. Despite seeking love outside their marriage, they struggle to fully commit due to their enduring affection for each other.

Performance:

Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi deliver stellar performances, showcasing impeccable comic timing and emotional depth. Their on-screen chemistry is superb, drawing audiences into the intricacies of their characters’ lives. Illiana D’Cruz and Sandhil Ramamurty provide solid support in their roles.
