As we all know, black makes a strong statement and miraculously makes people smile. Black dresses could be the best option you'd require for cocktail parties and some beautiful red-carpet moments because of their ever-dominance power and how put-together they can seem. Celebrities from Bollywood have recently stepped up their all-black-everything game. In its place, we've seen some avant-garde and risk-taking noir outfits on the street. We all need to have black clothing in our closets. The Bollywood divas like the timeless classic because it is the ideal number for every occasion. We were astounded by the timeless sensations that Alaya Furniturewalla's magnificent black gown from designer brand Shehla Khan gave off. To further surprise us, Sobhita Dhulipala recently donned the same dress.
Sobhita Dhulipala posted a number of photos of her most recent appearance on social media, in which the actress can be seen donning a stylish black ensemble by the fashion house Shehla Khan. The strapless dress included a midriff-baring cutaway and a deep sweetheart neckline. The thigh-high slit in front and exquisite ruffled design throughout the flare gave the black dress a fashionable edge. The jewellery worn by Sobhita includes metallic bracelets, tiered necklaces, and hoops. Her glamorous makeup comprised brownish lips, sculpted brows, accentuated cheeks, and kohl-rimmed eyes.
Alaya Furniturewalla also posted images of herself wearing the same attire on her Instagram account. She did, however, dress the Shehla Khan ensemble differently. A choker necklace with stones, dangling earrings, and a couple statement rings were worn with the strappy ensemble. Alaya exuded a refined, fashionable vibe. She paired the dress with a pair of black strappy heels. Alaya chose glittery makeup with bronzed cheeks, glittering eyelashes, kohled eyes, and a nude lip tint, leaving her mane free in curled waves.

While Ranveer Singh has won accolades for his unconventional roles like Bajirao in Bajirao Mastani, and Khilji in Padmaavat, the actor has also left the audiences impressed with Simmba. So we know that the audiences love him in different avatars and they are equally anticipating the deadly combo of Ranveer and Rohit Shetty on the big screens with Cirkus. On the other hand, the Bollywood star opened up about the kind of films he would like to be a part of. Being a self-proclaimed Govinda fan, it doesn’t come as a surprise that Singh wants to be a part of the actor’s film remakes and it seems the one he has his eye on is Raja Babu, co-starring Karisma Kapoor.
For the unversed, Raja Babu featured Govinda as an illiterate man, pampered by his mother, who falls in love with the pretty and educated girl played by Karisma Kapoor. The 1994 film gained massive popularity owing to its songs like ‘Mere Dil Na Todo’, ‘Ui Amma Ui Amma’, and ‘Sarkaiye Lo Khatiya’ which turned out to be some of the biggest chartbusters of the era. Now talking about being a part of this Govinda – Karisma Kapoor starrer rom-com Ranveer Singh was quoted saying to Pinkvilla about how he requested his friend and co-actor Varun Dhawan to not be a part of its remake, if he was ever offered one.
Varun Dhawan is known for his impeccable comic timing and his style is often compared to Govinda and Salman Khan. Talking about in these reports, Ranveer Singh said, “Varun Dhawan keeps doing these movies man, and I keep telling him, ‘Kuch Bhi Karna, Raja Babu maat karna’ (I want to do it).” In the same interview, Ranveer Singh confessed that Raja Babu and Judwaa are amongst some of his favourite Bollywood films, which he has seen many times.
Coming to his upcoming film Cirkus, Ranveer Singh will be seen in a dual role in this Rohit Shetty directorial. The film also stars Varun Sharma, Jacqueline Fernandez, Pooja Hegde, Murali Sharma, Johnny Lever, among others and is slated to release on December 23.

Pathaan has been in news ever since the release of its first track ‘Besharam Rang’. The song seems to have sparked a massive outrage over outfit choices and its dance moves. Right-wing groups have been protesting, demanding the boycott of the film and some politicians have even threatened to ban the film in certain states. Now adding to it, an Ayodhya-based seer Paramhans Acharya has issued death threats to the superstar, adding about how he would kill him, if he meets him.
In recent reports, it has even been revealed that he addressed superstar Shah Rukh Khan as ‘jihadi’. He reportedly said, "People of our Sanatan Dharma are protesting continuously regarding this. Today we have burnt the poster of Shahrukh Khan. If I get to meet the film Jihadi Shah Rukh Khan, I will burn him alive.” Followed by this, he also added if anybody else shows the courage to do the same, he would fight the legal case for them. The threat did not end here. As per reports, Acharya had gone on threaten theatre owners, asking them not to release the film or they will be burning the theatres down.
Readers would recall that the film Pathaan has been facing massive outrage over Deepika Padukone wearing a saffron-clad bikini that has not gone down well with certain religious groups. While they have raised an objection claiming that their sentiments hurt by this, they also further went on talk about how the gyrating dance moves of the actress and the intense chemistry between her and SRK in the film will be corrupting the youth.
Besides these protests, an FIR too has been lodged against the makers and cast of the song in Mumbai over the same matter.
Coming to Pathaan, the film is an action entertainer with Shah Rukh Khan playing the role of a spy. The film also stars John Abraham as the antagonist and it is slated to release on January 25 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

40 years ago, Disco Dancer (1982) was released and rewrote history. It made Mithun Chakraborty not just a nationwide sensation but a global star and moreover, its box office performance is unparalleled. As this dance musical celebrated its 40th anniversary (on December 10 or December 17; there’s confusion over its original release date), Bollywood Hungama decided to bring to you 24 facts about the film that’ll amaze you about its success and unbelievable impact
1. Director B Subhash revealed that he had met Mithun Chakraborty, who was upset about the way his career was heading. To cheer him up, the filmmaker told him that he’ll make a film titled Disco Dancerwith him and assured him that it’ll make him a superstar. Needless to say, B Subhash’s words came true.
2. This was a time when B Subhash was shooting for Taqdeer Ka Badshah(1981), also starring Mithun Chakraborty. Subhash’s publicist, Jagdish Aurangabadkar, nudged him to announce the project immediately. In no time, a leading film weekly carried the announcement that B Subhash would be directing Mithun Chakraborty-starrer Disco Dancerand that it’ll also be his first production. B Subhash said, “Excited distributors from all over India wanted to buy the film instantly. And so the musical journey which brought the disco wave to India started.”
3. The ‘Jimmy Jimmy’song is remembered even today and B Subhash revealed that he was not happy with it after the recording. He told music director Bappi Lahiri that the song is not doing justice to the situation in the film. This is when Bappi Lahiri came up with the idea of using a double voice. It involved the artist singing the line separately after which both renditions are blended. “The result blew us away,” said B Subhash.
4. Today, we can’t imagine ‘Yaad Aa Raha Hai Tera Pyaar’in anyone else but Bappi Lahiri’s voice. But originally, Kishore Kumar was supposed to croon the track. However, the day the legendary singer was going to record the song at a studio in Cuffe Parade, the elevator wasn’t working. Since it was not feasible for him to climb up the stairs due to his ill health, Bappi decided to record the scratch version. B Subhash heard it and loved it so much that he decided to retain it. He took Kishore Kumar’s permission for it. Kishore Kumar, too, agreed with the director and gave his nod.
5. During Bappi Lahiri’s demise earlier this year, B Subhash had said, “Till date, whenever my actor friends like Jackie Shroff call me, they never say ‘Hello’, but sing, ‘Yaad Aa Raha Hai’. Such is the magic of Bappi da.”
6. Writer Dr Rahi Masoom Reza was not happy with the title. He suggested that the film be called Qawwal! But B Subhash didn’t change his mind.
7. Then, it was lyricist Anjaan who had reservations. B Subhash revealed, “Anjaan ji complained that he had no idea how someone would become a Disco Dancer and suggested I take another lyricist.” The filmmaker then visited a book shop in Mumbai’s Fort and bought pamphlets of songs from albums across the world. One pamphlet was about Michael Jackson’s mother who said that her talented son could sing before he spoke and dance before he could walk. This motivated Anjaan to write the lines, ‘Yeh log kehte hain, main tab bhi gaata tha, jab bol paata nahin tha; yeh paun mere toh tab bhi thirakte the, jab chalna aata nahin tha’.
8. The dance step at the end of the title song was shot in one take. Mithun Chakraborty went all out and collapsed after B Subhash shouted ‘Cut’. The director then asked for a retake. Mithun, however, didn’t mind, got up and said, ‘Okay Guru ji, let’s do it’!
9. B Subhash, for the title song, wanted a production design similar to the classic English song, ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’. However, he learnt that it’ll cost him around Rs. 6 lakhs. This is when B Subhash came across a small cycle shop with metal rings hanging outside. B Subhash said in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, “They were selling each for Rs 16 and I bought 100 at a discounted price of Rs 14, pasted paper on them and flashed light from behind, making for a colourful set decor that cost me no more than Rs 10,000. The film was all about such innovations since we were working on a shoestring budget.”
10. The part where Mithun Chakraborty is seen dancing to the peppy title track was filmed at Natraj Studio. The scenes of hundreds of junior artists witnessing Mithun’s dance were shot at Filmistan Studio. Mithun reportedly danced on cue and the junior artists got so excited that they also started shaking their legs with Mithun. Years ago, B Subhash spoke about this incident and said, “Pran saab who was shooting for another film at the studio told me that he had never seen such a crowd before as the queue of junior artists spilled onto the road outside.”
11. Disco Danceralso featured Rajesh Khanna in his first ever guest appearance. The superstar had agreed as his career was down and out and B Subhash had persuaded the producers of Thodi Si Bewafaii (1980) to cast him and not Sanjeev Kumar. The film was a success and gave his career a much-needed boost. This prompted him to give seven days to shoot for Disco Dancer and as per B Subhash, he didn’t charge any fee.
12. Parvati Khan made her debut as a Hindi playback singer with ‘Jimmy Jimmy Aaja’. Interestingly, she was married to cinematographer Nadeem Khan and her father-in-law was Dr Rahi Masoom Reza, both of who were involved with Disco Dancer. It was a time when she was upset as she was supposed to do a song with music composer Biddu but it fell through. Dr Reza requested B Subhash to let her sing a song. This is how she landed a chance to sing the iconic track.
13. Bappi Lahiri had admitted that recording ‘Jimmy Jimmy Aaja’was a challenge. He admitted that “The song took a long time to record because I introduced disco beats in Indian antara, to come up with an innovative sound. I also experimented with a new singer, Parvati Khan. But see, almost four decades later, people around the world are still playing it as a rare tribute to an Indian composer. I’m overwhelmed and feel proud to be accorded this honour.”
14. B Subhash had confessed that two months before the release of Disco Dancer, a film called Star(1982), starring Kumar Gaurav and Rati Agnihotri, was released and had bombed. Since it was in the same zone as Disco Dancer, many in the industry had doubts that the Mithun Chakraborty-starrer would also not succeed.
15. However, Disco Dancerbecame a huge hit in India, earning Rs. 3.20 crores, which was a huge number for that time and also for its budget.
16. In 1983, a Mumbai-based agency, Sovex Fort, invited B Subhash to screen Disco Dancer at a film festival in Moscow. B Subhash stated, “I was hesitant because it was a modern film with modern music and mostly dark films such as Do Bigha Zamin(1953) have been successful in Russia but Smita Patil convinced me otherwise.” It’s thanks to the talented actress that Disco Dancerwas then able to cross the Rs. 100 crores mark, the first Indian film to do so.
17. In the Soviet Union, Disco Dancer, as per reports, sold 120 million tickets. Forbes states that it grossed Rs. 90 crores in USSR.
18. While the industry looked down upon Disco Dancerbefore its release, they did the same for its Russian run as well. B Subhash said, “Industry colleagues argued that Disco Dancershould not be allowed to be released in Russia as it did not depict Indian culture! I was anxious and went for the first 3 pm show at Mir Theatre with a lot of trepidation. I was overwhelmed when, in the end, Russians were dancing to ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ and besieging me for autographs. I set out to bring disco to India with my first production and ended up creating the world’s eighth wonder.”
19. Besides Russia, Disco Danceralso had a huge run in China. In all, it collected Rs. 100.70 crores worldwide and at that time, it was the biggest hit of Indian cinema of all time, surpassing Mughal-E-Azam(1960), Sholay (1975) etc by a huge margin. If the reports claiming that DiscoDancer was made on a budget of Rs. 2 crores are true, then it means that the film earned 50 times more. In terms of ROI, it’s in the league of films like Jai Santoshi Maa (1975) and the recent TheKashmir Files (2022).
20. WhatsApp’s co-founder, Jan Koum, has admitted that while growing up in Kyiv (modern-day Ukraine), he had seen Disco Danceras many as 20 times.
21. Even today, people from this region continue to dance, perform and discuss Disco Dancer and its songs. Restaurants named ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ can be found in Vladivostok, Russia and Tbilisi, Georgia. In 2019, the ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ restaurant in Tbilisi was inaugurated by Raj Kapoor’s son, Rajeev Kapoor.
22. Recently, the people of China made use of the song ‘Jimmy Jimmy’to protest against the prolonged lockdown. ‘Jimmy Jimmy’sounds similar to the Mandarin term ‘Jie mi, jie mi, which translates into ‘Give me rice, give me rice’. Two Chinese women, dressed in Indian wear, were seen lip syncing to this song on TikTok, holding empty bowls, to indicate how they are deprived of basic food items due to the extreme measures taken by the government of China to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. This video went viral and reminded people that the craze of Disco Dancer refuses to die even after 40 years.
23. Even places like Tajikistan were charmed by Disco Dancer. Bappi Lahiri once stated, “I realized the enduring popularity of the songs ‘Disco Dancer’and ‘Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja’in Tajikistan when I visited the country a few years ago. They refused to let me step off the stage.”
24. In 2020, it came to light that Disco Dancerwas going to be remade as a musical on stage. B Subhash confirmed that he had given the screenplay rights of the film to the music director duo Salim-Sulaiman.

Not too long ago, we had reported that Priyanka Chopra Jonas was taking off on a trip with her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. While we were not sure about the destination or whether hubby Nick Jonas will be joining his family, the latest post of the actress seems to have answered all our questions. The actress is currently enjoying the holiday season and the festivities of Christmas in New Jersey along with her husband as the family seems to be gearing up to welcome 2023 in a grand manner.
Priyanka Chopra recently posted a series of photos from her trip on Instagram. Giving a glimpse of Nick Jonas from the trip, the actress’ first photo was a mirror selfie with her husband. Her second and third photo was about her taking her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas on a walk. The third photo also showcases the Christmas fever in New Jersey as one of the house lawns was seen decorated and well lit up as per the season. She captioned these photos saying, “Perfect winter days… Ps: 1st pic- hubby is really interested in my mirror selfie.”
Earlier this week, Priyanka Chopra Jonas had shared a series of photos on her Instagram stories about her last workout of the year and later, a photo with her daughter in the airplane. Now the actress has shared another set on the platform, where she posted a close-up selfie of her in the car saying, “When it’s perfectly crisp outside.” She, later, also shared another photo of her carrying her daughter as they were all set for an outing, adding, “Fit for the day”.
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra has the American rom-com Love Again in the pipeline for release. She has also completed work on her space sci-fi drama Citadel. She will also start work on Jee Le Zara co-starring Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif.

The much-loved film Welcome (2007), starring Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Katrina Kaif, Feroz Khan and Paresh Rawal, completed 15 years on December 21. The laugh-a-minute riot is considered a cult classic today, more so after its memes became famous. As Welcome celebrated its 15th anniversary, Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to producer Firoz Nadiadwala about the film and a lot more.
How did you get the idea to make Welcome?
We started working on the film in 2005. I got the story and I shared it with Akshay Kumar. He approved it and then I shared it with director Anees Bazmee. He also liked it and came on board after which we started developing the story in detail and writing the screenplay. Then while casting, we approached Nana Patekar ji. For him to give his nod was significant as he had never done something like that before. After Nana ji committed, we got Anil Kapoor and Paresh Rawal as well. Finally, we contacted Mr Feroz Khan for the role of the don. Even he was excited to sign the film. Finally, we cast Katrina Kaif and Mallika Sherawat. This is how the casting of Welcome’s first part was done.
Do you mean to say that all these actors were your first choices?
Yes, fortunately, whoever we contacted, we had a detailed discussion with them. They were convinced of the story, the screenplay, and their respective characters.
Could you tell us about some of the memorable moments during the shoot?
We got stuck in one scene. It is where Nana ji is seated in his yacht and he’s meeting a family to fix Katrina Kaif’s marriage. It was supposed to be a one-day shoot but it took us four days to film. We began shooting on the first day and it started raining. This happened on the second and third days as well. This sequence was shot in Dubai.
Welcomewas shot in several foreign locations…
Yes. Nana ji’s house scenes were filmed in the Dubai Grand Hyatt hotel. Some scenes were shot on the royal stud farm. We requested them and they agreed. In fact, the horses seen in the horse shooting sequence belong to the royal family. So we were literally in the royal stables!
More than 80% of the film was shot in Dubai. A couple of songs were shot in South Africa’s Sun City and Cape Town. We were, in fact, the first people to film in Cape Town for Kartoos way back in 1996.
The sequence where Akshay ji is driving the car and his brakes fail was shot on Palm Beach Road, Navi Mumbai. Some scenes were shot here while majorly, it was shot in the UAE.
The climax where the house is about to collapse is maddening and one can’t help but laugh even today. How was it shooting this portion?
The exterior of the house was put up on a rocky road, which goes from Lonavala to Aamby Valley. The interiors were shot on a set in Film City. The entire set was placed on hydraulic suspensions. That’s why we could move the set in a see-saw manner. It was a big challenge though. Action director Ali Abbas Moghul was of big help.
Welcome clashed with Taare Zameen Par. Did that cause any tension with regards to screen sharing?
Not at all. That was Aamir Khan’s debut film as a director. So, it was a very amicable understanding of how to balance both movies in terms of the number of screens. Fortunately, Welcome as well as Taare Zameen Par both did well. That was a different kind of movie compared to ours. We wished each other all the best. It was a very celebrative period!
How did the audience react to the film in cinemas?
Our intent has always been to make a family movie. And that’s how the audience felt too. We could judge by their reactions in cinemas that they were enjoying it, especially Uday and Majnu’s antics. These characters are innocent and also dimwits. But they are still dons and hence, people are scared of them. And in their innocence lies the fun.
How did the critics react?
They loved it! By God’s grace, Welcome was a huge success commercially as well as critically. It was a well-mounted movie with good songs also. It was great fun shooting the film with Nana ji, Akshay, Katrina, Anil, Paresh ji…it was a pleasure working with everybody.
Welcome was followed by Welcome Back (2015)…
In 2013, we got the idea of making the second part. As per the story, the casting was done accordingly. In this film, the place which was shown as Nana ji’s house was the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray hotel, Dubai. It was the same location which was passed on as Anil ji’s mansion in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011). It was a grand place. Now to show Naseer bhai’s house, we had to scale up since Nana ji’s house was quite grand. Hence, we had to search for a grander place. We had to wait for 5-6 months to get permission to shoot at Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The main cast of Fast & Furious 7 (2015) was staying there at that point but they were not permitted to shoot inside the hotel. Once the permission came through, the UAE government was kind enough to provide us all with kinds of assistance. They permitted us to shoot in the main lobby. They even cordoned off the lobby for us for 4-5 days.
The helicopters seen in the climax belong to the Dubai royal family. The ones seen jumping from the plane and landing in the desert are the real para jumpers from the Dubai Sky Diving (DSD) team. This whole sequence was shot in Margham located an hour away from Dubai. We also filmed in Burj Khalifa. Getting to shoot at these places was a challenge and required a lot of coordination. In terms of the canvas, it was bigger than the first part.
Welcome is huge in the world of memes. Even Majnu’s painting has become a cult image. Your comments?
It’s great. People are loving it and share it regularly. And the way Majnu’s painting is also being used to spread happiness is lovely.
15 years ago, you brought so many prominent actors together in Welcome. Do you think it’s difficult to do so now?
If there’s an understanding between all the team members, be it the technical side or creative side, then it doesn’t matter whether it’s a single-hero film or a multi-starrer. You can take a single hero in a film and it might not be a fun experience. On the other hand, you can cast 4-5 actors and it can be a pleasure to work with them. So, it all depends on the camaraderie with the people. Single-hero doesn’t mean that the journey will be nice and multi-star cast doesn’t mean that the journey will be difficult. People should say ‘Kal shooting pe jaana hai. Maza aayega’. That should be the mood of the unit members.

Referring to her as ‘The Queen of Creating History’, fans flooded her social media with comments as she brought home another proud moment for the country.

Days after the Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh Narottam Mishra slammed the song ‘Besharam Rang’ from Pathaan for the allegedly vulgar outfits worn by Deepika Padukone, the assembly speaker of the same state Girish Gautam has echoed the same sentiments. He even went onto challenge the film’s lead actor Shah Rukh Khan to watch the film with his daughter Suhana Khan.
“I would like to tell this to Shah Rukh Khan that his daughter is now 23-24 years old. Go and watch the film with your daughter and post the picture on social media saying that I am watching this film with my daughter in which there is Deepika Padukone,” he said in a video while speaking to a group of reporters in his office.
Girish Govind also dared the makers to make a film on Prophet Mohammed while hinting at Deepika’s saffron-coloured bikini in the song. “I dare you to make a film on the Prophet in the name of freedom. There will be riots in the entire world,” he added.
Directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra’s banner Yash Raj Films, Pathaan has been facing outrage from the political class and ‘religious’ groups representing both Hinduism and Islam.

Industry heavyweights, celebrities, fashion influencers, models, and more were present at the lavish event. The glamorous evening honoured celebrities, fashion labels, and up-and-coming designers who have spurred change with their creativity and special abilities.

Actress Sharvari Wagh has a very wide sense of style, ranging from cool chick to princess feelings, and her outfit selections are unquestionably on point. The actress has never been afraid to share some amazing fashion moments. This time, she was able to catch our attention with her really stylish clothing. The actress kept the fashion police on their toes with a gorgeous black dress, maintaining the minimal glam style.
Sharvari is the definition of a fashionista. The actor consistently gives us major fashion goals. Sharvari's fashion journals are our fashion goals since they teach us everything from how to dress well and enjoy the cold season to how to celebrate festive evenings in gorgeous ethnic costumes. The actor recently posted a slew of photos from her most recent fashion photo shoots and once again won our hearts. Sharvari served as the muse for fashion label Room 24 and chose a black bodycon dress for the occasion. Sharvari's black bodycon dress has a complete sleeve that transforms into a glove and one shoulder sleeves. Her dress has an asymmetrical cut across one shoulder, mesh cut-out accents strategically placed to highlight her form, an across-the-hip split, and a low back that screams sexy and sophistication. Her dress is worth Rs. 33,554.
Sharvari accented her outfit with a pair of black Christian Louboutin stilettos with ankle straps. Sharvari parted her hair in the centre and wore her hair open in wavy curls. She wore a nude lipstick tint, nude eyeshadow, black eyeliner, mascara-coated eyelashes, and contoured cheekbones.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Sharvari Wagh made her acting debut in 2020 with Amazon Prime Video’s web series The Forgotten Army – Azadi Ke Liye, co-starring Sunny Kaushal.

Right before the finals, celebrities couldn’t stop rooting for their favourite teams and took to social media to cheer for them. While most of them showered their love for Lionel Messi and the team Argentina, they were thrilled when the team won, despite a close match with France.

While some celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Ajay Devgn, among others, who were busy with other work commitments, decided to catch it live and posted about it on their social media handles.

On the other hand, while hubby Ranbir Kapoor is a massive fan of football but is not on social media, his wife Alia Bhatt took to the platform to share a photo of Messi holding the FIFA trophy and dropped heart emojis, showering her love on the team.
