Now this is an unexpected turn of events indeed! Three movies released last Friday – Doctor G, Code Name Tiranga, and Kantara (Hindi). The first two are Bollywood productions whereas the third is a dub for a Kannada movie. Doctor G was an Ayushmann Khurana film which has been made at a lower cost while Code Name Tiranga had an upper-tier budget allotted to it and also stars an actress in its lead role. Kantara meanwhile is purely regional production with no hope of catching international attention. Still, it’s clear that Kantara will end up being the movie people love…

In this article, we explore the top 5 films that are earning significant profits at the worldwide…
The Mani Ratnam directed epic adventure movie Ponniyin Selvan- 1 that came out a while ago has been successful internationally. In India, the Tamil version of the movie has been making money hand over fist due to increasing demand. The Hindi dubbed version isn’t seeing nearly as much success in comparison though – partly because it is hard for them to find an audience. But outside India, they’re doing really well; financially thriving at the box office window. Now entering the last few weeks of its theatrical run, Ponniyin Selvan-1 has racked up remarkable collections thus far. At the world…

Last week on Friday, we saw the release of Dr. G., starring Ayushmann Khurana. Like his previous films, it also had a unique and unusual story-line – about a male gynecologist who has many interpersonal struggles but manages to overcome them all eventually. With significantly less promotion than most movies receive and considerably lower fan-hype due to this fact, people were curious whether or not Dr. G would do well financially… according to sources it did start out slow for its first few days at the box office but then managed to pick up throughout the weekend; earning it an…
After the moderately successful opening weekend, there can be a sense of optimism for actor Ayushmann Khurrana. Doctor G pulled in about as much revenue during its opening weekend as did his previous film Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui; both films were marketed towards the same demographic. While Doctor G started off with Rs. 3.87 crores on Friday, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui managed to draw only slightly less at Rs. 3.75 crores when it premiered three months ago- making them basically neck and neck in terms of popularity and success after just one day of release. While Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui saw an opening…

Going even further, over its second week running PS-1 despite seeing a decrease…
At every special occasion in Indian households, mehendi is almost always included. It has become popular in Western countries too – now known simply as henna – and it’s typically used for engraving a temporary tattoo. This article sheds light on the uniqueness of Pakistani mehndi designs, which show off its roots in both Arabic techniques and traditional South Asian practices. The style of these designations mirror that of their Indian counterparts but are distinctly different from them at the same time; combining each other’s strengths to create something uniquely beautiful. Although there may be different patterns, every Pakistani bride…
