Kunal Kohli, who made a mark with films like Hum Tum (2004) and Fanaa (2006), has now taken a leap, graduating to making international films. In June, he wrapped up the shoot of a British English feature film, All About Her . It stars Hollywood actor Nick Sagar, best known for his role in The Princess Switch film franchise.

Kunal Kohli opened up about All About Her in an interview with Bombay Times last month. He said, “Directing an English film and working with a full British and international crew is a whole new chapter in my life.

Dhamaal 4 Box Office: Sees HUGE GROWTH on Saturday as collections get into DOUBLE DIGIT zone, further JUMP on the cards today

Image
It was a wonderful second Saturday for Dhamaal 4 as collections went up by a distance compared to Friday (Rs. 5.39 crores). Not that it was surprising since last weekend too collections had grown huge between Friday and Saturday, and that’s the kind of trend that successful movies are when they are catering to family audiences as this is when bulk footfalls are evidenced. This was the case with this Indra Kumar directed film as well which moved into a double digit zone and ended up collecting Rs. 10.11 crores. This is really good as it goes on to show wide acceptance of this multistarrer affair, which is yet another comedy to succeed this year after Bhooth Bangla and Welcome To The Jungle . It also goes on to show that if Dhamaal franchise is finding so much love then where would Golmaal 5 go on its release as it has a far bigger reach and goodwill, and this time it stars Akshay Kumar as well. With Rs. 100.90 crores in its kitty so far, the film has entered the Rs. 100 Crore Clu...

1 Year of Saiyaara, the FIRST Gen Z BLOCKBUSTER: Before pre-Dhurandhar and post-Dhurandhar, Bollywood also has a pre-Saiyaara and post-Saiyaara era; analyzing how the Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer changed rules of promotions and STARDOM

Image
Today, July 18, marks the first anniversary of Saiyaara ’s (2025) release. In recent months, many have argued that Hindi cinema can be divided into the pre- Dhurandhar and post- Dhurandhar eras. However, even before that film created history, Saiyaara had emerged as a turning point in its own right. Its unprecedented success challenged several long-held beliefs about audiences, promotions, newcomers and the kind of films that could become blockbusters. The film witnessed phenomenal advance booking, making it clear that it was set for a double-digit opening. Yet, when it collected a massive Rs. 22 crores on its first day, it stunned the trade and industry. The extraordinary word of mouth came into play immediately, with collections rising to Rs. 26.25 crores on Saturday. On Sunday, the film recorded another huge jump and earned Rs. 36.25 crores. There were, of course, sceptics who questioned whether the collections were genuine. Some also expressed doubts over the videos showing f...
