Way Before Shaitaan, Ajay Devgn Already Proved His Mettle With His 1st Horror Film At The Box Office (Photo Credit – YouTube)
Ajay Devgn’s Shaitaan has earned 55.13 crore at the box office with its first-weekend collection, and while the film has performed beyond expectations on the first three days of its release, it is expected to hold the fort through the weekend as well.
In fact, 100 crore does not seem to be an impossible challenge for the film, which is expected to have a decent and stable collection over the coming weekdays.
Helmed by Vikas Bahl, Shaitaan stars Ajay Devgn as a helpless father, Jyothika as a struggling mother, and R Madhavan as the devil. It needs a very easy target to surpass the first horror hit by the Tanhaji actor.

New Delhi, July 30 (Ians) An eight-part crime drama, written by Arunabh Kumar and jointly by director Sumit Saxena, KaalKoot is a hard-hitting series without the regular embellishments that adorn web series on Ott platforms. It’s unsparing but not entirely uncompromising.
Sub-Inspector Ravi Shankar Tripathi (Vijay Varma) is the kind of young cop who you’ll not easily come across not just in small towns such as Sirsa in Uttar Pradesh (not to be confused with the Haryana town), but even in bigger cities and metropolises.
Such ordinary people with a streak of honesty and commitment may be few and far between. Essentially, such modest and obscure men often are mistaken for being average and having low self-esteem.
He lives with his widowed mother (Seema Biswas) for whom he is the be-all-and-end-all. Her married daughter being away, she has pinned all her hopes on him.
Things are not what they seem though.

Indian film director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has seen it all – from being physically attacked on the sets of “Padmaavat” to walking the red carpet at a triumphant Cannes screening of “Devdas” – in his 25 years of filmmaking.
A graduate of the prestigious Film and Television Institute of India, in Pune, Bhansali equally consumed the oeuvre of Tarkovsky, Uday Shankar’s “Kalpana” and Francis Ford Coppola’s “One From the Heart.” While he could not fathom the Russian auteur’s work in its entirety, “something about how a visual works on the soul of the audience if it’s receiving correctly, and the power of the images, is what I imbibed more than anything else,” Bhansali told Variety.
These days, striking imagery and grand storytelling is what Bhansali is best known for.
He made his mark choreographing the songs of Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s “1942: A Love Story” (1994), starring Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala,...

"How can we not talk about family when family’s all we got," Wiz Khalifa once said. It clearly is one of the most important things in any person’s life, without which they remain incomplete. It is the same in case of our most popular family man, aka Srikant Tiwari from Amazon Prime Video’s show - The Family Man.
While fans can’t get enough of Srikant Tiwari and his new nemesis, Raji, played by Samantha Akkineni, here is an appreciation for the key characters from this series without whom, the magic which this show has created would not be possible.
Suchitra (Priyamani)
The most important thing between a couple is understanding and respect for each other. Even though there were some hurdles in the lives of these love birds, Suchitra always had Srikant’s back and we can’t wait to see how their chemistry unfolds in the new season.

All you have to do is tell a good story, whether it is about a scam or love. A story well told, well acted-out and directed in an all-round manner is what counts.

Mumbai, March 18 (Ians) Filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who is busy co-directing his series "Human", says that to research for the film he, along with director Mozez Singh, went to multiple drug testing camps to understand the process of drug testing.
"Human" is an emotional drama about the underbelly of human drug testing and the world of medical scam, and the shooting of the show is currently in progress.
"We went to various medical drug testing camps to see how they are administered and also understood the processes and what kind of security measures are taken to ensure that drug testing is safe for people. We also met victims and subjects, doctors and pharma companies. So, we have done extensive research along with Mozez's team, as they met a few whistle blowers, social activists, patients, pharma companies and doctors. That kind of double research resulted in the script that we have today.

Veteran Indian filmmaker Shekhar Kapur (“Elizabeth”) has revealed thematic details about his Working Title romantic comedy “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” starring Lily James (“Yesterday”) and Emma Thompson (“Last Christmas”).
“It’s a story of identities,” Kapur said. “It’s about cultural clashes and it’s a comedy, but it’s about hiding behind an identity and how identities can become tribal, and how tribalism can lead to clashes and fundamentalism. It’s a romcom, but based on this fundamental idea of people adopting identities out of fear of marginalization.”
Kapur was speaking on Tuesday at the Asia society’s annual U.S.-Asia Entertainment Summit, being held virtually this year, at a panel titled ‘Cinemas to Smartphones: Streaming Wars and the Future of Bollywood and Indian Content.’ Kapur is currently conducting rehearsals in London.

Deepa Mehta’s latest film, an adaptation of Shyam Selvadurai’s Sri Lanka-set coming-of-age novel “Funny Boy,” has been picked up by Ava DuVernay’s Array Releasing, and will land on Netflix this December, Variety can reveal.
The Oscar-nominated “Earth” and “Midnight’s Children” director wrote the screenplay for the film alongside Selvadurai, whose debut 1994 novel is set in Sri Lanka during the 1970s and 1980s and was ground-breaking in its discussion of identity politics against the backdrop of escalating conflict between the island nation’s Sinhalese majority and Tamil minority.
Shot on location in Colombo, the film explores Tamil protagonist Arjie’s (Arush Nand/Brandon Ingram) sexual awakening from a young boy, deemed “funny” by disapproving family, to a teenager enamoured by a male classmate, just as political tensions escalate between the Sinhalese and Tamils in the years leading up to the 1983 uprisings — violence that led into a 26-year civil war.

Directed by Deepa Mehta, Shanker Raman, Pawan Kumar
In the beginning there is the swimming pool. A splashy symbol of the uppercrust’s affluence that’s rapidly making the poor, poorer.
Deepa Mehta’s disturbingly devastating dystopian drama begins with a happy family Mother, Father, Child splashing in the pool. Within the first five minutes the mood swerves away from joy and Shalini, the protagonist whose journey we follow from episode to enrapturing episode of acute pain and limited joy, finds herself alone in an clinical ashram that resembles the shelter home in Muzaffarpur where young girls simply disappeared when they didn’t obey the elders’s salacious orders.
