UAE-GCC faces Bollywood blackout on Eid for FIRST time since Covid; Dhurandhar and Border 2’s ‘ban’, Toxic and Jana Nayagan’s postponement, The RajaSaab’s debacle cause losses of nearly USD 15 million

Image
Eid is a major festival around the world, especially in the UAE-GCC belt. The festival is also synonymous with a major release, particularly from Bollywood, which often does very well in the region. However, for the first time in 6 years, no Hindi film would have a release on Eid in the region. The last time this occurred was in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is the big Bollywood Eid release of the year, but like the first part, it is unlikely to get passed in any country in the Gulf region. Toxic was also to be released alongside Dhurandhar , but it has been pushed to June 4 due to the Iran-US conflict. Industry sources told Bollywood Hungama that the box office situation in the Middle East in the last six months has been underwhelming with regard to revenue from Indian films. Border 2 and the first part of Dhurandhar , the two films that set the box office on fire in recent times, didn’t release in the belt. Films from down South have also not worked here...

Image
The romantic musical drama Bewafaa (2005) completed 21 years on February 25. It had an ensemble star cast, comprising Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee, Sushmita Sen and Shamita Shetty and is remembered for its hit soundtrack, touching moments etc. In an interview with Bharathi S Pradhan, the talented director Dharmesh Darshan opened up like never before on the behind-the-scenes happenings. When Bharathi S Pradhan remarked that Bewafaa gave a déjà vu of B R Chopra’s Gumrah (1963), starring Ashok Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Mala Sinha and Nirupa Roy, Dharmesh Darshan confessed, “Yes, in the first half.” He also revealed, “ Bewafaa had some problems. Boney Kapoor is absolutely amongst the best producers. The film was produced by Sridevi Productions. Boney takes his own time to make films. Meanwhile, the makers of Murder (2004) made the same film (as Bewafaa ). They happened to know (what we were making). This happens. In 6 months, with Mallika Sherawat, Emraan...

Without naming him directly in her post, the actress shared a pointed statement on X (formerly Twitter), addressing what she described as an unwarranted public remark made during the event. Taking to the platform, Trisha wrote, “I was informed by the organisers of a recent event that my name and picture were included at the last minute at the request of an individual conveyed through his assistant. A microphone doesn’t make a comment intelligent or humorous. It just makes stupidity louder. Crude words without knowledge say more about the speaker than the person they’re aimed at.” I was informed by the organisers of a recent event that my name and picture were included at the last minute at the request of an individual conveyed through his assistant. A microphone doesn’t make a comment i...
