I have always loved doing comedy, I started my journey with Pyaar Ka Punchnama, which was a refreshing comedy, today it’s considered a cult comedy . I’m always open to exploring other genres too like I did with Dhamaka and my next Freddy .But comedy is something I started with and I feel most at home with. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is my first theatrical release in this post-covid time and returning back to the big screen with such a complete family entertainer feels good. It’s also my first horror comedy which I have really enjoyed doing.

Now, A Thursday is about a common woman played by a not such an uncommon actor Yami Gautam Dhar who holds 19 kindergarten kids hostage because of the wrongs done to her when she was a teenager.

For nearly 190 million total viewing hours last week, Netflix audiences were screaming the rallying cry “Bella Ciao” after the fifth and final installment of the Spanish drama series “La Casa de Papel” (“Money Heist”) dropped Dec. 3 on the streamer.
Within two days, “Money Heist” stole the thunder of Netflix’s English language shows, rising to No. 1 on Netflix’s Global top 10 list with far more total viewing hours than the week’s top English-language show, “Lost in Space,” which logged 47.38 million hours for Season 3 during the week of Nov. 29. “Money Heist,” the twisty story of a bank robbery, features standout performances from Úrsula Corberó, Álvaro Morte, Itziar Ituño, Pedro Alonso and Najwa Nimri, among other international talent.
Other non-English shows that have proven their staying power in Netflix’s Global Top 10 include Korean dramas “Squid Game” (21.2 million hours) and “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” (11.56 million) which have held their ground on non-English language...

Wiser and smarter after spending years in Bollywood and delivering multiple consecutive biggies, Kartik Aaryan certainly knows what he is talking and what he is selling. The testimony to that is Dhamaka which is the biggest Ott original to have come out of the Indian film industry and stays on to be a top trending film on the digital medium. What makes it further special is the fact that the suspense drama thriller has arrived at a time when theatres are back to bring open, as a result of which at least four major films are already playing on screen.
“Dhamaka released two weeks after Sooryavanshi and let’s admit it, the arrival of the Akshay Kumar and Rohit Shetty film resulted in a lot of diversion of attention from Ott back to theatres. A market that was really hot for the last 20 months during the pandemic saw a shift in attention since theatres,...

“Red Notice,” the art-heist thriller starring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, is set to become Netflix’s most-watched movie in its first 28 days of release.
The film broke into Netflix’s Top 10 Most Popular English Films of all time this past week, registering 277.9 million hours viewed since its Nov. 12 release — and it has hit the No. 2 spot in just 10 days. That puts it on pace to surpass the current No. 1 holder, Sandra Bullock’s “Bird Box,” which scared up 282 million hours viewed in its first 28 days. In addition, for the second week in a row, “Red Notice” cracked Netflix’s Top 10 in all 94 countries.
Evidently boosted by the popularity of “Red Notice,” Johnson-starrer “Central Intelligence” (14.91 million hours viewed) and Reynolds’ “6 Underground” (7.77 million hours) both broke into the Top 10 English films for the week of Nov. 15-21.

Netflix has all its hopes pinned on the Kartik Aryan action-thriller Dhamaka which streams from November 19. So far the only Hindi feature-film premiere to have garnered ample eyeballs on Netflix in 2021 is the Kriti Sanon surrogacy comedy Mimi.
With Dhamaka Netflix hopes to crack the blockbuster code on the Ott platform.
A source close to the project tells me, “Dhamaka has all the makings of a blockbuster. It is the first made-for-ott blockbuster-material. Earlier we had big films with big stars being premiered on Ott because of the pandemic. But Dhamaka has been made especially for Netflix and on the scale of a big-screen film.”
Sources say Netflix sees Dhamaka as a turn-around product that will finally bridge the gap between the big screen and the digital domain.
Says Dhamaka director Ram Madhvani, “The vision and scale of the product has not been compromised in any way because of the size of the screen.

With its list of new releases for November 2021, Netflix will attempt to bravely step into a post-Squid Game world. Helping it in that mission is a diverse array of original series and films.
On the TV side of things, it’s a good month to be animated with both Big Mouth and F is for Family premiering their fifth seasons (on Nov. 5 and Nov. 25 respectively).

Inspired by one of India’s successful rescue missions from a war-torn country, Aaryan will play a pilot who spearheaded the operation and displayed exemplary bravery and courage in the process. Aaryan stars in Netflix’s upcoming film “Dhamaka,” a remake of 2013 Korean film “The Terror Live.”
“’Captain India’ is inspiring and thrilling in equal measure and it gives me great pride and honor to be a part of such a historic chapter of our country,” said Aaryan.
Mehta is a celebrated filmmaker whose films, including “Aligarh” and “Shahid,” receive global festival play. His “Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story,” for Sony Liv, was one of the most streamed series of 2020 in India.

Actor Kartik Aaryan's new Instagram post on Friday is all about machismo and trademark humour. He posted a shirtless picture showing off beef and referenced Kate Winslet in the caption.
"Kartik Aaryan 1 -- 0 Kate Winslet," wrote Kartik as caption with the image, along with a bicep emoji.
The pose Kartik strikes for the frame is similar to Winslet's famous painting scene in the 1997 global blockbuster "Titanic", where the actress featured with Leonardo DiCaprio.
