Farhad Samjis loss is Tarun Mansukhanis gain; real reason why Farhad was dropped from Housefull 5

Image
Farhad Samji’s loss is Tarun Mansukhani’s gain. Farhad Samji has no option but to take the blame for the failure of the Salman Khan starrer  Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan although Salman ghost-directed the whole film. Nonetheless someone other than the superstar has to take the rap. Farhad now finds himself out of Sajid Nadiadwala’s Housefull 5  which was rightfully Farhad’s. Farhad had directed  Housefull  3(with his brother Sajid) and Housefull 4 (Farhad took over the latter after Sajid Khan was sacked). Housefull 5  was his for the taking…. Until  Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan came and tanked. Farhad Samji woke up on Friday to the announcement of  Housefull 5  with another director’s name in his place. It’s been a long wait for director Tarun Mansukhani. Once upon a time, he directed the successful Dostana with Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham. Since Dostana , Mansukhani has been writing and re-writing  Dostana 2  for Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. The film was

SatyaPrem Ki Katha Box Office: Film has decent collections on Friday should grow now today and tomorrow; collects Rs. 7 cr on Day 2

Image
It was yet another decent day for SatyaPrem Ki Katha as Rs. 7 crores came in. On its opening day the film had collected Rs. 9.25 crores and since Friday was a regular working day, it was a given that there would be a drop. The question though was that how big the drop would be but then since the word of mouth is positive here, it was expected that it would all be under control. This is what happened as well and as a result the overall collections stand at Rs. 16.25 crores. The film now needs to see double digit collections coming today and tomorrow so that it can make a dash for that Rs. 38-40 crores extended weekend. There is a lot at stake with this Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani starrer which has managed to fetch good critical alleviation already. What needs to happen now is for that to translate into footfalls as well. Today is especially an important day for the film as that would set the tone for the lifetime score. If it manages to go past the Rs. 9.25 crores mark today or a

It is their success. This love is genuinely magical #Justgrateful.” The film also stars Supriya Pathak Kapur, Gajraj Rao, Siddharth Randheria, Anooradh

Zeenat Aman wrote, “Happy Pride Month, dear followers. When @googleindia reached out to me to be a part of their #searchforchange campaign, my first instinct was to suggest they approach someone from the LGBTQIA+ community. As a straight person I have not lived any of their experiences and so cannot speak for them. I do however consider myself an ally. I have befriended, known and worked with many talented, creative, artistic and wonderful people from this community.” She wrote, “My message thus is not for the LGBTQIA+ community; they know their own experiences best. My message is for straight folk, especially those older generations who are struggling to accept, or are outright denying, t

Salman Khan is our target, there’s no doubt about that. We’ll keep trying, and when we succeed, you’ll know.” In May, the Canadian government named Goldy Brar, real name Satinde
