Alicia Vikander opened up about her family life at the Zurich Film Festival, where she received the Golden Eye Award.

“Sometimes, [preparing for a role] is boring and tedious. My three-year-old is wondering what’s going on, because I’m locking the doors and talking to myself,” she laughed.

“When I am done, I get very tired. Acting is physically and emotionally draining. I have two young children now, I was pregnant when making that film and that’s where most of my time goes when I am not working,” said the Swedish actor, fresh off dystopian sci-fi “The Assessment.”

Vikander’s growing multilingual family – the actor is married to Michael Fassbender – aroused festival audience’s curiosity.

“My six-month-old doesn’t speak much, but my three-year-old speaks Portuguese, English and Swedish. Recently, he was hanging out with some kids and now there’s also a bit of Spanish. He’s giving me language courses now!

This Richard Curtis-like comedy sees Bea on fine form as she tries to marry her her dead boyfriend, supported by a knockout cast including Harriet Walter and Susan Wokoma

It’s so barmy that you want it to be true. The plot of this gimmicky British romcom hinges on a 200-year-old law that – supposedly – permits marriage to a dead person. There’s even a word for it: necrogamy. And Mrs stars glorious Aisling Bea as Gemma, who launches a legal bid to get hitched to her American fiance Nathan after he drops dead at home in east London. Tom Hank’s son Colin plays the corpse – or ghost, since Nathan pops back for the odd chat with Gemma (he also appears in flashbacks).

The upside to casting Bea in a comedy is that she’s an absolute hoot. When Hollywood stars play ordinary civilians, there’s often a slumming-it quality to their performances,...

Sanya Malhotra, who attended the premiere of ‘Mrs’ at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, is on cloud nine. The actress received a standing ovation for her performance in the film, which is directed by Arati Kadav.

Mrs follows the story of Richa, a successful dancer who is set up with a boy of her dreams, a hardworking shy doctor who loves simple, home cooked food. But after her marriage she realizes that she is just a minor cog in the hectic household routine of her new home. She tries various ways to get back to work only to realize that she is pulled back to the routine of the men in the house. Inspired by the Malayalam film The Great Indian Kitchen, the story is about Richa trying to navigate her way and strike a balance with the responsibilities of the kitchen and the house while seeking to assert...

What do Billie Lourd, Colin Hanks, and Bette Midler have in common? The answer: They were all rather taken with Daniel Reisinger.

The charismatic Australian director (Sideswiped, Players) spoke to The Hollywood Reporter on just how he landed such an impressive cast for what is a relatively niche British rom-com. And Mrs is one of Edinburgh Film Festival‘s world premieres in its out of competition category this year.

To describe this film, penned by Melissa Bubnic, as a rom-com feels misleading; its protagonist Gemma, played by Irish actress Aisling Bea, is left bereft and blindsided when her fiancé Nathan (Hanks) drops dead months before their wedding. In a bizarre but incredibly endearing effort to honor their love and distract herself from her own grief, she sets about trying to posthumously marry him.

Lourd, the daughter of Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher, is Nathan’s zany and heavily pregnant sister Audrey,...

Mr & Mrs Mahi Box Office Collection Day 10 Updates! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Mr & Mrs Mahi has concluded its second weekend at the box office. A feel-good romantic sports drama starring Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, the film witnessed a minimal dip but has remained steady at the ticket windows. Scroll below for early trends on day 10.

After a good first weekend of 11.50 crores, one expected this Sharan Sharma directorial to stay above the 2 crore mark during the weekdays. While the earnings did not necessarily stick to that expectation, the numbers remained in the vicinity, which was a good sign. All in all, first week was concluded at a decent pace with 26.20 crores in the kitty.

Talking about the second weekend, Mr & Mrs Mahi scored a favorable Saturday with 2.20 crores coming in. Ideally, the film should have surpassed the 3 crore mark today, but several factors have restricted that from happening.

Box Office – Mr & Mrs Mahi stays stable on Tuesday(Photo Credit – Instagram)

After bringing in 2.21 crores on Monday, the need of the hour for Mr & Mrs Mahi was to stay stable at the box office for the rest of the weekdays. Though not major, but still a drop had come on Monday, which means that from here, the film was bound to follow a normal trajectory.

That said, this is also the election results week, which means a lot of focus is on current affairs, and hence, movies have taken a backseat in general. It’s also quite visible that even promotion and marketing efforts for many films have slowed down a bit, and that will stay on to be the case for the entire week, especially with the kind of election outcome that has come, which is different from the common consensus till a week before. As a result,...

After the Zero debacle, Shah Rukh Khan made a smashing comeback with Pathaan. The Siddharth Anand directorial revived Bollywood and clocked a whopping 543.22 crores at the box office. While cine-goers gave a huge thumbs up to the January 2024 release, Dhoom action director Allan Amin feels the movie is copied from his 2004 creation. Scroll below for his controversial remarks.

Dhoom, directed by Sanjay Gandhi, was an action thriller starring an ensemble cast that included Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Uday Chopra, Esha Deol, and Rimi Sen. The was the first action film produced by Yash Raj Films and was lauded for its high-octane sequences, including cars and helicopters.

Action director Allan Amin claims Pathaan looked fake to him. He told Bollywood Hungama, “It looks fake. In Dhoom, I made Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham fight in the trailer.

Bhaiyya Ji Box Office Collection Day 8: Fares Well (Photo Credit –Facebook)

On its second Friday, Bhaiyya Ji registered fair collections at the box office. There was Cinema Lovers Day announced as well but that catered primarily to multiplexes. Since Bhaiyaaji is a single-screen movie, the ticket rates are comparatively much lower right from the beginning anyway.

As a result, there was no real benefit that came the film’s way. As a result, what the film saw was normal trending rather than any upheaval of sorts.Collections on the second Friday came to 55 lakhs and considering the fact that there are other new releases too that hit the screens, the collections are fair.

On Thursday, Bhaiyya Ji had collected 65 lakhs, so numbers closer to that or even better, around 75 lakhs, would have been a better proposition. However, thankfully the film didn’t fall much either so that’s some relief as well.

Cinema Lovers Day, held on May 31, 2024, was a boon for the industry. Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao led Mr & Mrs Mahi passed its opening day with flying colors. The ticket sale prices at a flat rate of Rs 99 have been highly beneficial in pulling the audience to the theatres. Let’s revisit the number of films that witnessed a boost on the planned occasion in 2024 and the collections made at the box office.

While some movies have turned out to be huge surprises this year, several biggies still struggle to lure audiences to the big screens. Films like Article 370, HanuMan, and Guntur Kaaram enjoyed impressive footfalls, but Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan, among others, couldn’t live upto the expectations. In such scenarios, planned occasions like Cinema Lovers Day help to boost earnings.

Janhvi Kapoor has come a long way in her career and can be termed one of the hardest-working actresses of this generation. She does not fear taking risks with her role and continues to work on her skills every day. It was a tragedy that her mother, Sridevi, passed away before her debut movie hit the screens. The actress is currently gearing up for her upcoming film, Mr & Mrs Mahi, opposite Rajkummar Rao, and she has revealed how her mother’s sudden passing made her superstitious.

The actress is often spotted visiting Tirumala mandir at Tirupati, and that too because of her late mother’s devotion to Lord Balaji of the Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple. She started her Bollywood journey with Dhadak, which was released just a few months after Janhvi’s mother’s death.

The 1974 spin on westerns sees Mel Brooks pointing at the absurdity of racism and the history of human evil while always ensuring a steady stream of laughter

Though it rarely gets mentioned in the same breath as The Wild Bunch, McCabe and Mrs Miller and the wave of revisionist westerns that came out of Hollywood in the late 60s and early 70s, Mel Brooks’s Blazing Saddles doesn’t need any artfully hazy Vilmos Zsigmond cinematography to upend Old West mythology. True, it is a comedy where a horse gets cold-cocked, a Native American chief (one of three characters played by Brooks) speaks Yiddish and Count Basie’s orchestra makes an appearance on the plains. Yet from the opening sequence, where Chinese immigrants and recently freed Black slaves work under the white man’s whip to build a railroad, this irreverent Looney Tunes spoof of the genre takes a dimmer...
