Bollywood facing the wrath of the underworld has been a rather infamous 90s phenomena and it seems that it has returned to haunt the superstars yet again, especially Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. While the blackbuck case resulted in Salman and his family receiving death threats until today, the threats for Shah Rukh Khan seems to have returned after his stupendous success post Jawan and Pathaan. And now the actor has been provided with Y+ security.

Readers would be aware that Shah Rukh Khan has received record breaking success in 2023 with him being the only Indian actor to have garnered to two massive blockbusters consecutively. Post that, the actor seems to have approached the Mumbai police to seek protection wherein he revealed that he has been receiving death threats, after which the police sprung into action and provided him Y+ security cover, The said cover includes six armed personnel around the clock unlike his usual security which only included two officers. After Salman Khan was provided with the same security earlier this year after he received death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang, Shah Rukh Khan is the next actor to have received this recently.

Earlier, in a post shared by Sanjay Gupta, the filmmaker had appreciated Shah Rukh Khan not only in his film Jawan but also his ability to stand up and speak up against wrong doings. He had also recalled the time when Bollywood including Shah Rukh Khan received several threats from the underworld in the 90s, and how the superstar refused to bow down. He had written in his tweet, “I saw JAWAN. I feel compelled to share this. Back in the 90’s when the underworld bullying of the film stars was at its peak @iamsrk was THE ONLY star who never gave in. “Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga. Main Pathan hoon.” He said. He’s the same today.”

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan showcases the superstar in the role of a police officer who takes drastic steps to seek justice by raising an army to fight the war in the most unconventional ways.

Bhumi Pednekar has been hailed by everyone for her performance in Thank You For Coming, a film that focuses on the taboo subject of female pleasure in our country. Bhumi plays a 32-year-old woman who realises self-pleasure is the key to satisfying one’s sexual urge instead of believing in the idea of waiting for the perfect man who could liberate her sexually.

Bhumi says, “I’m proud that Thank You For Coming has started an important conversation about female pleasure which somehow seems to be an extremely taboo topic in India. I’m happy that the film and my performance have got unanimously positive reviews and people across genders are giving it so much love.”

Bhumi adds, “As an actor, I have tried to lend my voice to important social topics for women like how a girl has the right to be happy in her body type in Dum Laga Ke Haisha, the right for a woman to demand proper toilets within her home in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, the need for society to treat women and gender equally in projects like Lust Stories, Badhaai Do that speaks about the relevant rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and empowers them.”

She says, “Now in Thank You For Coming, I’m trying to be vocal about a girl’s right and the need for self-pleasure. All these are extremely relevant issues for girls in India and I’m glad I have been able to be a vehicle to channelise this subject to people across my country. Hopefully, we will have these conversations more openly and constructively.” ALSO READ: Kriti Sanon raves about Thank You For Coming: “Bhumi Pednekar, love the way you’re doing something different every time”

The heart-warming film Tumse Na Ho Payega was released with minimal buzz but has managed to be the number 1 film on Disney+ Hotstar. It is adapted from Varun Agarwal’s life experiences, documented in the novel ‘How I Braved Anu Aunty & Co-Founded A Million Dollar Company’, and tells the story of a coder who creates a path-breaking app after getting fired from his job. The app shown in the film is killer and it won’t be surprising if it soon gets launched in the market.

Tumse Na Ho Payega’s producer Siddharth Roy Kapur spoke about this film during an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama. He also discussed about the positive box office performance in 2023.

The first thing that came to my mind while watching Tumse Na Ho Payega was that it reminded me of the golden days of UTV Motion Pictures and UTV Spotboy. This is because the film is meant for a certain audience and also it talks about doing things you love. Moreover, with this film, you have collaborated with Ronnie Screwvala and Nitesh Tiwari, with whom you worked when you were at UTV Disney. Did you also feel the UTV connection while working on this film? That’s a lovely way of putting it! I can’t say that’s the reason we decided to make the film. You are quite right about the spirit with which we strive to do things in terms of the cinema we make. We try to push the envelope and do something that’s against the norm. What appealed to Ronnie, Nitesh and me about the book was that it talks about what the youth are going through but in a fun and irreverent way. When they are told, ‘Log kya kahenge, tumse na ho paayega’ or ‘why not take the safe route and stay in a secured job’, they don’t really adhere to it and try to break boundaries. Not many films have been made on this topic. Also, Nitesh Tiwari and Nikhil Mehrotra then wrote a great screenplay.

Was Tumse Na Ho Payega meant for a digital release since day 1? Yes. I have to give credit to Disney+ Hotstar for coming on board at the script stage itself. We wanted this film to reach out to the youth of our country. The platform that Disney+ Hotstar is in terms of penetration gave us the opportunity to reach that audience successfully. The fact that it’s trending on number 1 since the time it dropped proves that we made the right decision.

Also, when you release a film on digital, it becomes easier to have abuses. Had Tumse Na Ho Payega released in cinemas, the abuses would have been muted… Yes. If we hadn't made it real and authentic in terms of how the youth talk to each other, it would have seemed artificial. We had to get right the lingo that the youth uses. We had the advantage of doing that (on OTT).

In real life, Varun Agarwal started a merchandising company called Alma Mater. In the film, Gautav (Ishwak Singh) starts a food-based app named Maa’s Magic. Could you tell us what made you and the team of this film to make this change? We wanted to show that the business has an emotional edge. I think the idea of maa ke haath ka khana and mothers feeding bachelors and bachelorettes in a city had an emotional angle to it. Moreover, Varun’s app is an online merchandise store. It was an interesting concept. But the book was written years ago and we wanted something more relevant to the present day.

A heartening track in the film is that of the chaiwallah investing in the app. Did that happen for real? There are certain liberties that we have taken. What was great is that we might never imagine that a chaiwallah might have the money to invest in a business. But sometimes, these are the people who shed their blood, sweat and tears to collect money for their children’s education. And there’s an emotional arc where we feel that he invests in the business and we feel that he has lost the money. But the dignity that he shows is lovely.

Any chances of a sequel to Tumse Na Ho Payega? It’ll be interesting to know what happens next… You are right. It’s a little early. I thought of it just now when you mentioned it! I think right now, the team is just enjoying the great feedback that’s coming in.

There was a lot of negativity surrounding Bollywood in 2022. But in 2023, we saw back-to-back hits and even blockbusters releasing in cinemas. Do you think that we are in a much better position today? There’s no question about it. Last year, a section of people was writing the obituary for cinema and were wondering if the audience would ever come back to theatres. There was the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trending on social media. The audience is back in huge numbers and it proves that the box office is back. Just the last 9 months have been testimony to the fact that the audience really enjoys the theatrical experience. If we deliver good content, they’ll come. It’s upto us filmmakers to be able to give great cinema and keep the numbers coming.

Your production Dangal (2016) was the first Indian film to collect Rs. 1000 crores at the box office. This year, two more Hindi films, Pathaan and Jawan, also entered the Rs. 1000 crores club. Do you feel that the box office is not just back but is going places we never imagined before? For sure. Dangal was a great example of the fact that Indian films can work in a market like China and make $200 million worldwide. This proves that our films can really break through and appeal to the audiences of the non-Indian markets as well. We don’t need to assume that our movies will work only among the South East Asian diaspora. Our films can work with the global audience and Dangal is the best example. Hopefully, we'll only be pushing boundaries from here on.

A trend that emerged this year is the buy-one-get-one ticket-free scheme. It has its share of supporters and critics. What are your thoughts? The filmmakers feel it works and hence, they implement it. There’s nothing wrong with experimenting with it. This is especially when the film is at its last leg at the box office and you want to give it another uplift. If you do it at that point in time, then you bring in the audience who might not have otherwise not watched your film in the cinemas. If you do in the release week, then it’s a call that a filmmaker can take, but then maybe you are not exploiting the full revenue potential of your film. But again, there’s no right or wrong answer. Every filmmaker has to take his/her call. If they feel their film is in danger of being overpriced, then going for a buy-one-get-one offer makes sense.

Which are your upcoming films? We have Pippa and Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan. We are yet to announce the release dates of these films. A call will be taken very soon. We also have some films in post-production. Then we have a film with Shahid Kapoor that goes on floors in October. It’s an action thriller and directed by Rosshan Andrrews. Lastly, we are making a few series that the platforms will announce at the right time.

Would you like to revive your space film Saare Jahan Se Accha, especially looking at the hype around Chandrayaan-3? The film has never gone away. It’s something that we are working on in the background and we’ll be ready to announce it at the right time. Director Mahesh Mathai and I are convinced that we’ll make it. But sometimes, films have their own destiny. Hence, I am sure that this is a story that will be told at the right time. The story is timeless. It’s not in danger of getting dated at any point.

You are a big Amitabh Bachchan fan. Interestingly, you made so many films but none of them have starred him… I was the junior member of the marketing team at Star Network. That was the time when I worked with him, during the first season of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ in 2000. This was when I was and still am in awe of the man. I hope to work with him soon (smiles).

One of the biggest singing sensations Sonu Nigam recently said that he was put in a box after he delivered a chartbuster sad song. He was being offered only sad songs after ‘Achha Sila Diya’. It was only when he was offered Pardes track ‘Yeh Dil Deewana’ for Shah Rukh Khan, that music composers thought of him for new age tracks.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sonu Nigam recalled how he was only offered to croon sad songs after his popular track ‘Achha Sila Diya’ from the 1995 film Bewafa Sanam. “I was fed up! After ‘Achha Sila Diya’, I was only offered sad songs. I always joke on stage that I started getting songs with the words, ‘kafan, dafan, laash, shamshaan ghat, kabristan’. I would only get such sad songs! I wished that I would get some up-tempo songs as well, and that finally happened with Nadeem-Sharavan,” Sonu told Bollywood Hungama.

Sonu revealed that his career took a turn when he sang ‘Yeh Dil Deewana’ in Pardes for Shah Rukh Khan. “I had told them I can do it. I can do Western also. When they had an opportunity with ‘Yeh Dil Deewana’, they suggested Subhash Ghai my name. So, I started getting new age songs thanks to Nadeem-Sharavan,” he added.

He also recalled the adlib he did for the song ‘Ah’ which was him copying Michael Jackson. “The ‘ah’ in the song, that was me copying Michael Jackson’s style. I wouldn’t understand what he would sing except for his ‘ahs’ in the songs. So, during ‘Yeh Dil’, I thought it could go perfectly well here. Subhash ji really liked it and said, ‘Yeh toh bada badmaash ladka hai!’ He liked that I was singing with so much power,” he added.

Sonu Nigam went on to sing for Shah Rukh Khan in several movies including Kal Ho Na Ho, Om Shanti Om, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, among others.

In a candid revelation on the 'Timeout with Ankit' podcast, veteran Bollywood actor Shakti Kapoor recently shared the heartwarming story of his love life and how his wife, Shivangi Kolhapure, made a significant sacrifice for their relationship.

Shakti Kapoor shared that their love story began on the sets of a film, where Shivangi was working as a child artist. Despite being 12 years younger than Shakti Kapoor, she was an ardent fan of his. They first crossed paths when she took photos with him on set, and destiny played its part in bringing them together.

Kapoor reminisced, "Then we met and fell in love. I realized I would not find such a beautiful and homely girl elsewhere. That's how we started seeing each other." However, the intensity of their love initially distracted Kapoor from his work, causing him to fear that it might negatively impact his career. He decided to communicate his concerns to Shivangi, which left her furious. In response, she accepted an offer to act in Sawan Kumar Tak's film, Laila.

This decision created turmoil in Kapoor's life, as he humorously recalled, "Meri halaat kharab hogayi (I was worried), as I was the Majnu in her life." He added, “I went to her and begged that don’t work. I want you as a housewife.”

Shakti continued, “It’s been 40 years with her. She gave up her career for me. I still fold my hands in front of her. I got married at the peak of my career, and she brought me more luck and prosperity. We then had a son and daughter, and built our own family.”

Their love story culminated in a court marriage in 1982, as their parents had not yet accepted their relationship due to cultural differences. It wasn't until the birth of their son that Shivangi's parents finally embraced their relationship. Over the course of 40 years of marriage, Shakti and Shivangi built a loving family, which includes their son Siddhant and daughter Shraddha Kapoor, both of whom have followed in their father's footsteps as actors.

Hansal Mehta and Pratik Gandhi’s collaboration in Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story turned out to be one of the most iconic Hindi web shows. The web series told the life story of the stock market scamster Harshad Mehta. The two also collaborated for the short film Baai in the anthology Modern Love: Mumbai.

Mehta and Gandhi’s next collaboration in the form of a web series on Mohandar Karamchand Gandhi aka Mahatma Gandhi is keenly awaited as it is the first show of the duo after Scam 1992. The web series is adapted from historian Ramachandra Guha’s books ‘Gandhi Before India’ and ‘Gandhi: The Years That Changed The World.’ The show will see Pratik play Gandhi while it will be produced by Applause Entertainment, which had also produced Scam 1992.

In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Hansal Mehta revealed that the show is all set to commence shoot soon. “We are very heavily into pre-production. We will be commencing shoot within maximum of a month. We are preparing to begin shooting,” he said.

Interestingly, Pratik has played Gandhi before in Manoj Shah’s Gujarati play Mohan No Masalo. He also starred in the Hindi and English adaptations of the same play. Although Hansal has seen the play, he said that that wasn’t the reason why he cast Pratik to play Gandhi in his show. “Pratik was cast in the show by Applause (Entertainment). I came into the show a month after Pratik was cast. After Pratik was cast and after I came in, we all went together to watch the play,” said the filmmaker.

Hansal pointed out that the play is hugely different from the show they are set out to make, although both are based on Gandhi’s life. “They are two different interpretations,” he said. “One, it is theatre. And it’s an interpretation of his life through a monologue. It’s a one-man act. It’s incredibly well performed. It’s incredible! But what we are doing right now is something far beyond that. It’s a different interpretation and a different medium altogether. We are doing our best to do something that we have never seen before.”

Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha is reportedly stranded in Israel amid the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine. In a recent update, reports suggest that the Bollywood actress is in Israel amid the ongoing war and her team has not been able to contact her since Saturday afternoon.

In a statement, a member of her team said, as per India Today, “Nushrratt has been unfortunately stranded in Israel. She had flown there to attend the Haifa International Film Festival.

This set off sirens across the country. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel “was at war” in a video statement on Saturday. “We are at war, not an operation. Hamas has launched a murderous surprise attack against the State of Israel and its citizens. I ordered first of all to cleanse the settlements of the terrorists who had infiltrated and ordered a large-scale mobilization of reserves. The enemy will pay a price they have never known,” he said.

Indian Wear Wardrobe ( Saree) The series' bright green saree and sharp blouse that Sen wore for a joyous family gathering drew our eye. The actor's saree by Aarya was a solid shade of emerald green with a deft sequined border. But it was her blouse, with its rows of subtle gold stripes that created drama without being garish, that made the outfit pop. Sen chose a bulky pearl necklace set as an accessory, but you could dress it down by eschewing the choker and opting instead for a pair of earrings or perhaps a little maang tikka.

Indian Wear Wardrobe (Lehenga) Sushmita Sen was spotted at the afternoon event in Aarya wearing a yellow silk lehenga. She wore a translucent yellow Raw Mango dupatta with a silk top and matching skirt to complete her appearance. Her jewellery choices coordinated with the beautiful green threadwork on the dupatta. For your friend's roka ceremony, a yellow silk lehenga like Sushmita Sen's is the perfect choice. You might even use it for a mehandi by the pool.

Stylish Sunglasses Aarya wears simple outfits, yet she understands the importance of accessories. Even the most basic clothing may be transformed with statement elements like sunglasses. Tortoise shell frames, brown, shaded lenses, and oversized proportions. In the series, Sushmita sports a stylish selection of designer and retro-inspired sunglasses that exude a "don't look at me, I'm famous" aura.

Statement Jackets In Aarya, Sushmita Sen's main character sports an eye-catching jacket that reflects her outspoken and assertive demeanour. The jacket, a representation of her fortitude and adaptability, becomes a staple in her wardrobe, signifying her transformation from helplessness to empowerment. Sushmita wears a lot of structured jackets as Aarya, whether it's this black, fitting, mandarin collared choice or her signature long, shawl-collared jacket in a vivid shade of burgundy red.

Shawl Collection In the hit web series Aarya, Sushmita Sen’s character not only commands attention with her unwavering strength but also with her impeccable fashion sense. One element of her wardrobe that stands out is her exquisite collection of shawls, which adds a touch of sophistication and cultural richness to her character. Wrapped around her head or draped effortlessly around her shoulders, Sushmita was seldom seen without a luxe, richly textured stole on her person.

This venture is helmed by director Mei-Juin Chen (known for Gangster’s Daughter and National Geographic's Kung Fu Secrets) and celebrated director-cinematographer Tony Cheung, renowned for his work in Jackie Chan's The Legends of Drunken Master, Dragon Blade, and the recent release Hidden Strike, featuring John Cena on Netflix.

When asked about his selection for this pivotal role, Arjan expresses, "It's an exhilarating character, and I'm thrilled to have been chosen to portray a computer geek seeking vengeance for his grandfather's death. The casting team reached out to me about six to eight months ago. They carefully reviewed my body of work, and after meticulous and detailed meetings, things fell into place. We engaged in workshops and training before the shoot, which was an amazing learning experience."

Demon Hunters is currently in production, featuring popular stars like JC Lin (known for series like What the Hell is Love and the film Some Day or One Day) and Regina Lei (known for Antikalpa on Netflix), along with the seasoned actor Jack Kao from the Assassin and Gatao series on Netflix.

Akshay Kumar’s courtroom drama OMG 2 was released after suffering negativity due to the insane number of cuts imposed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Despite the cuts, the film was awarded an ‘A’ certificate. Akshay Kumar, during the promotions of his latest release, Mission Raniganj, was asked about it and whether it upsets him that the under-18 youngsters couldn’t watch such an important film.

Akshay Kumar replied, “Well, rules are rules. They (Central Board of Film Certification) felt it was an adult film. But did you guys feel it was an adult film? It was a film that should be shown to youngsters because I made it for them. Thankfully, it’s going to come tomorrow on Netflix. The important thing is that people should know about it.”

He further discussed this topic while also opening up about whether he faces pressure when backing such unconventional films that might probably not score at the box office. Akshay opined, “When I made Toilet – Ek Prem Katha (2017), everybody told me, ‘Yeh koi title hua? Are you mad? Are you telling me that you are making a film on shauchalaya?’. I went ahead and made it. Don't discourage me by making me think how much business my films will do. Give me courage that I should think at least, these kinds of films are made so that we can enlighten the audience that it’s time to change the society.”

He further said, “I made a film on sanitary pads (Pad Man; 2018). Kisi ke baap mein dum nahin tha ki sanitary pad pe film banaye. Koi haath bhi nahin lagata tha pad ko. I won’t name the person but I was standing with someone. We all stood with pads. He also was handed one pad. His PA whispered in my ear, ‘Yeh inke haath mein mat dilao. Accha nahin lagta’.”

Akshay Kumar spoke to a group of journalists for the promotion of Mission Raniganj about the film and a lot more. He made an important comment about doing multi-city tours and how it can prove to be a futile exercise. He even gave the example of his film Selfiee (2023) which was promoted in several cities and yet, bombed at the box office.

Akshay Kumar said, “This (Mission Raniganj) is a word of mouth film. Aisa nahin hota hai ki mere kisi shehar mein jaane se meri film chalegi. Maine dekh liya Selfiee mein. Sab jagah ghoom liya. Aisa kuch nahin hota.”

Akshay continued, “It’s not like the audience will watch a film because I have paid their city a visit. Agar logon ke padosi ne bola ki acchi film hai, toh woh jaayenge film dekhne. Somebody asked me whether my family members liked the film. Unko toh acchi hi lagegi. Buri hongi toh bhi acchi lagegi. Unke bolne se thodi koi faayda hota hai. Public ke bolne se faayda hota hai. All the actors who promote their films would claim ‘Maine badi acchi film banayi hai. Yeh film zaroor jaake dekhna’. It is about 1 person telling the other and forwarding an appreciation message to 4 others. That is the tried and tested method.”

Akshay Kumar further said, “Promotion is important, but how you do it is more important. Today, you all are asking so many questions as you guys have seen the film. If we had met before the release and I would have tried explaining what the film, sach bolta hoon, aap log bahar jaa ke bolte ‘Yeh toh bolega hi aisa’!”

Lastly, he added, “I have done 150 films. I have understood one thing. Even the media knows that when an actor is giving gyaan, how much of it is true and how much of it is false. Unke saamne gyaani banne ki koshish mat karo. Let them decide. I am so happy that I am meeting you all after you guys have watched Mission Raniganj. Nahin toh mujhe itna zor lagana padta ki ‘film mein aisa hai, fir aisa hota hai’. You won’t feel the hardship faced by the miners in the film until you watch it.”

MUMBAI DIARIES SEASON 2 is the story of doctors in a government hospital struggling to save lives during a deluge. After the events of the first season, Dr Kaushik Oberoi (Mohit Raina) is accused of failing to save ATS Anant Kelkar’s life by his wife Savita Kelkar (Sonali Kulkarni). She files a case in the court. The matter gets complicated when Dr Diya Parekh’s (Natasha Bharadwaj) testimony over the death of her mother goes against Dr Kaushik. The verdict on the case is all set to be delivered on July 26, 2009. Dr Kaushik reaches the court along with his pregnant wife Ananya (Tina Desai). Due to extreme rainfall, the judge fails to reach the court and the hearing is postponed to July 31. Ananya leaves for Pune to deliver a lecture. Dr Kaushik resumes work at Bombay General Hospital. As the first round of flood survivors get admitted, Dr Kaushik finds it difficult to treat them as he’s tormented with media coverage on his case, especially by News Today where Mansi Hirani (Shreya Dhanwanthary) has started a campaign against him. Meanwhile, Dr Ahaan Mirza (Satyajeet Dubey) has feelings for Chitra Das (Konkona Sen Sharma) and wants to take her out for a movie. But he’s too scared to ask her out. Chitra, who’s still struggling with her traumatic past, gets a shock of her life when she sees her abusive ex-husband, Dr Saurav Chandra (Parambrata Chattopadhyay), as part of a delegation that has come from UK to visit Bombay General Hospital. Dr Diya is being judged for testifying against Dr Kaushik while Dr Sujata Ajawale (Mrunmayee Deshpande) gets in trouble after getting caught forging the signature of the hospital's CMO, Dr Madhusudan Subramaniam (Prakash Belawadi). And the madness has just begun and it increases as the rains wreck havoc in the city. What happens next forms the rest of the series.

The story is excellent and peppered with captivating moments. Yash Chhetija and Persis Sodawaterwalla’s screenplay is gripping. There are multiple tracks and chaos is happening in all of them. To bind them together and at the same time to ensure that the narrative seems sensible and engaging is no easy task. But the writers come out with flying colours. Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh’s dialogues are simple and sharp.

Nikkhil Advani’s direction is exemplary. One of the strengths is the way he has used long takes where the focus shifts from one character to another and the emergency they are attending to. The flood angle further adds to the drama. And he has inserted tons of nail-biting moments. One can feel the pressure under which the doctors function in the hospital where there’s no chance to rest even for a second. On top of it, the tension levels go to another level in the last 2 episodes thanks to the tracks of Dr Kaushik-Ananya and that of Dr Saurav-Chitra-Dr Ahaan. The show ends on a justified note and will make you respect doctors even more. The comment on how news channels manipulate the aam junta is an eye-opener.

On the flipside, the initial episodes are dragging. One might even question the makers that why did they incorporate those tracks that have nothing to do with floods. Of course, later on, it makes sense but initially, one might get restless over the pace and the number of tracks. Secondly, it’s bewildering why the makers never showed the courtroom scene of Dr Diya; it would have given more weightage. Lastly, the scene of Dr Sujata blasting Dr Kaushik in the morgue in front of the deceased’s husband is plain silly.

Mohit Raina yet again scores a sixer. He displays his vulnerability with perfection. Konkona Sen Sharma is terrific and especially nails the scenes of the trauma. Parambrata Chattopadhyay is flawless as a manipulative, abusive person. Satyajeet Dubey, Natasha Bharadwaj and Mrunmayee Deshpande are too good as doctors who now have experience but are still new to this world. Prakash Belawadi is adorable and one can’t help but root for him. Tina Desai is a surprise. The way she has acted proves that she is a stupendous performer. Shreya Dhanwanthary is dependable as expected. Sonali Kulkarni shines in a cameo. Balaji Gauri (Cherian) is fine but to make her shout in all scenes gets on the nerves after a point. The others who deliver fabulous performances are Akshar Kothari (Inspector Mayank Bhat), Amit Jairath (Sachin; Mansi’s cameraman), Adithi K S (Vidya; nurse), Vasundhara Kaul (Mallika; Mansi’s boss), Pushkaraj Chirputkar (Samarth), Samaresh Das (Sandeep Raut), Jaimini Pathak (Prashant Raut; Sandeep’s father), Kalyanee Mulay (Shaalu; Sandeep’s mother), Sharad Ponkshe (Yogesh Kulkarni) and Milind Vijay Phatak (Jaywant; juvenile home in-charge). Sanjay Narvekar (Jadhav) is a bit over the top.

Ashutosh Pathak’s music is nothing special. ‘Rab Ne Sab Ke’ registers a bit due to the haunting feel. Ashutosh Pathak’s background score enhances the thrill. Malay Prakash’s cinematography is splendid. However, the scene where Ananya is being taken on an inflatable bed is bad. The camerawork could have taken better angles in what could have been the money shot of the series. Priya Suhass’ production design is rich and detailed. The VFX is also superb, especially the scenes of the city under water. Sheetal Iqbal Sharma’s costumes are non-glamorous, as per the requirement. Mohammed Amin Khatib’s action is limited. Maahir Zaveri’s editing could have been sharper in the initial episodes.

On the whole, MUMBAI DIARIES SEASON 2 is a nail-biting thriller that deserves a watch due to its script, execution, message and outstanding performances by the lead and secondary cast.

Rating: 3.5 stars

This Friday saw the release of Dono, which marks the directorial debut of Sooraj Barjatya’s son Avnish S Barjatya and the acting debut of Sunny Deol’s son Rajveer Deol and Poonam Dhillon’s daughter Paloma. It is backed by Rajshri Productions and as expected, it is a clean family entertainer. However, Dono is not the typical Rajshri film as it features kissing scenes. This makes Dono the first film of the banner to show a liplock.

Interestingly, the kissing scenes form a crucial part of the story. It is not added for the heck of it. In fact, it takes the story forward. At the same time, it’s shown in an aesthetic and pleasing manner and is not explicit. Hence, families will still be able to sit through the kissing scenes without feeling uncomfortable.

At the trailer launch of the film, Sooraj Barjatya was also present and he revealed, “When Avnish narrated the concept (of Dono), I told him you are free to make what you want but I told him to remember that tumhari film dekhne Rajshri ki audience bhi aayegi.”

Dono is the story of a boy and a girl who meet at a destination wedding abroad and fall in love with each other. Sunny Deol spoke highly of Rajshri Productions at the trailer launch event. He stated, “You all know about Rajshri Productions. Like Disney, they make films for the whole family. That’s what they have been doing ever since. Kabhi behke nahin. This film is also on the same lines. You might say ‘Inn logon ne phir se shaadi ke upar film banayi’. Their films are about extended families coming together during a marriage. Dono is also about marriage, families and emotions. But the difference is that it’s today’s film. It’s a film about today’s generation. I can vouch for it as I have seen the film.”

Sooraj Barjatya then revealed that Sunny Deol asked him to launch Rajveer with Dono saying, “Then Sunny ji called me ki 'Suna hai ki aap bete ki picture bana rahe ho'. I don't know if Rajveer knows about this episode. Main ghabra gaya and the first thing I told Sunny is that ‘Lekin iss film mein action nahin hai’! He told me, ‘It’s ok. I want a subject which my son will love and it should be from the heart’.”

He also added, “Then Poonam ji spoke to my sister, Anuradha. The first pictures we saw of Paloma was where she was holding a gun! Yet, both Avnish and I realized that she’ll suit the part of Meghna.”

Helmed by Zoya Akhtar, the young actress is elated to be a part of an iconic project. At the India Today Conclave 2023 on Wednesday, she attended the panel titled ‘New Kids on the Block: Meet the Gen Z of Bollywood aka The Archies Gang'.

Suhana Khan reflected on her first day on set by saying, "I guess all of that is very different from being in a Netflix film and being on a real film set as a working actor, I think, from the number of people on set, from the number of lights on set and the hair and makeup and all the chaos. And in the middle of this, I felt extremely insignificant. And, I guess I kind of knew that everything that everyone was doing around me was felicitating the director’s vision, Zoya’s vision and I guess knowing that on my first day and realising that, I felt extremely nervous."

As she will play the role of Veronica Lodge in the movie, Suhana Khan added that her parents Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan are her biggest source of guidance. She said, "I wouldn’t say my critic, but my biggest source of guidance is my parents. My entire family feels to chip in and help each other out."

With The Archies, three-star kids are being launched. Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan, Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda and Sridevi's second daughter Khushi Kapoor are making their Bollywood debut with Zoya Akhtar directorial. The actors include Dot (Ethel Muggs), Agastya Nanda (Archie Andrews), Khushi Kapoor (Betty Cooper), Mihir Ahuja (Jughead Jones), Suhana Khan (Veronica Lodge), Vedang Raina (Reggie Mantle) and Yuvraj Menda (Dilton Doiley). They recently did their first performance of ‘Sunoh’ in Brazil at the Netflix Tudum event.

The film is set in the 1960s and takes audiences to the fictional hilly town of Riverdale. The Archies is a coming-of-age musical following the lives of Riverdale’s favourite set of teenagers - Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Ethel and Dilton.
