Taapsee Pannu is captivating the silver screens once more, with the thriller Do Baaraa produced by Anurag Kashyap. This Indian adaptation of Spanish film Mirage had its release just two days ago. The plot delves into an age-spanning mystery, set in a horror and thrilling backdrop accompanied by revolutionary concepts of time travel. It is an exhilarating ride which has something novel to offer. When the movie was released in international theaters, the opening day box office results were far from encouraging. By the end of its first day in Australia, the film had sold less than a dozen tickets,…
Earlier this month, the film industry was sent reeling by the lacklustre performances of holiday season blockbusters Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan. As both these films rapidly disappeared from cinemas, Do Baaraa featuring Taapsee Pannu followed suit last week.

Although it was only a regional release in Gujarati, Fakt Mahilao Maate was able to garner an impressive Rs. 1.25 crore on its…

Last Friday, the Gujarati movie Fakt Mahilao Maate, starring Amitabh Bachchan was released. Despite limited promotion and being up against the big Bollywood release Do Baaraa, this regional production has made quite an impact.

All signs point to this small-budget flick turning out to be a surprising hit. Much to everyone’s surprise, Fakt Mahilao Maate proved a success in the North American box office with an impressive Rs. 26.80 lakhs being earned from its opening weekend! This can be attributed to…
Last week saw the release of Karthikeya 2, the sequel to Chandoo Mondeti’s 2014 Telugu film, starring Nikhil Siddhartha, Anupama Parameswaran and Anupam Kher. It was met with positive reviews from its audience. Business-wise, it has experienced an increase in growth due to the lackluster performance of more mainstream films in recent times.

Advait Chandan was at the helm of directing this film based on Atul Kulkarni’s script, and also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Despite an ambitious start, Laal Singh Chaddha faced difficulty bringing in high revenues as a result of less-than-ideal word of mouth among audiences. As opposed to its performance in the Indian market, Laal Singh Chaddha had a better response overseas.…
