Will Chiranjeevi’s Delay Significantly Impact Viswambhara’s Box Office Performance? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Megastar Chiranjeevi‘s upcoming movie Viswambhara was initially slated for a Sankranthi release but has now been postponed to the summer. With the teaser already out, many fans question whether delaying the film was the right decision, especially considering the competitive Sankranthi season.

The film teaser received mixed responses, and social media was flooded with criticism of the visual effects (VFX). This troll from the movie buffs has raised doubts about the film’s overall production quality. Typically, movies released during the Sankranthi season enjoy excellent box office success even if they aren’t technically perfect. The festive crowd often supports films with flaws, which Viswambhara could have benefited if they had stuck to their original release date.

Releasing during the Sankranthi season allowed Viswambhara to draw in large holiday audiences, potentially making up for the...

It is quite rare when songs garner international acclaim, even more rare when the acclaim comes in the form of an Academy Award. Yet, changing the direction of Indian music, Naatu Naatu made history in 2023.

For dance numbers, the main aim is to capture the attention of the audience. It cannot definitely be boring, and although catchy choreography goes a long way in salvaging a song, it is an indomitable hook that a dance number relies on for its popularity. With Naatu Naatu, it was as if M. M. Keeravani hit the jackpot. It is also a given fact that with a blockbuster movie, music becomes an additional factor that ropes in a number of views.

What compelled the Academy to choose Naatu Naatu?

The Academy Award for Best Original Song is usually presented to music makers who work in the film industry. One of the foremost rules of the...

Anupam Kher is making a significant return to directing with his new film Tanvi: The Great, marking his first directorial project since Om Jai Jagdish in 2002. The announcement came on Kher’s 69th birthday in March, but details about the film’s narrative and cast had largely been kept under wraps until now. The big revelation is that Iain Glen, widely recognized for his role as Ser Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones, has joined the cast in a key role.

This news was confirmed by Kher through an Instagram video featuring Glen, where the two actors discussed their collaboration. Glen expressed his enthusiasm for the project and his admiration for Kher, mentioning their previous work together on the British series Mrs Wilson. The video ends with both actors sharing a friendly “namaste,” symbolizing their mutual respect and the cross-cultural nature of their collaboration.

The bigger tragedy than the tragedy on screen was the one off it: there were only eight people in the movie theatre.

Neeraj Pandey’s first foray into romance is not as awful as what the reviews tell you. It has its high moments: how can it not when you have the exceptionally involved Tabu and Ajay Devgan helming a love story that is designed as an epic. That it fails to reach its goal is unfortunate. Nonetheless, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha (what an inapt title!) is an honourable failure, and one that I suspect will garner more respect as time goes by.

For now the problems with the film seem glaring and insurmountable The pacing is uneven and awkward , sometimes bordering on the self-destructive. Edito Praveen Kathikuloth needed to excercize much more discipline and austerity. Who signs Devgan and Tabu to play intense inseparable lovers and then squanders...

Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli, directed by Raghav Khanna and Tanvi Ajinkya, is a documentary that takes us inside the mind of the prolific filmmaker and gives us a sneak peek into his entire creative process. I believe “Rajamoulis” are created when one is passionate about what one does and is not afraid to put in the hard work. I mean, if you love anything like Rajamouli loves films, you are bound to become successful. Here was a man who had spent his life on film sets, who had seen what it felt like when people didn’t come to watch the cinema you have created with so much hard work. He is the kind of man who knows what loss is and what it means to fail in life, and it could be said that his experiences have been his biggest teacher.

About “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha”

Helmed by Neeraj Pandey,...

Prabhas’ latest mytho-sci-fi epic, Kalki 2898 Ad, directed by Naga Ashwin, has made a remarkable impact in northern India, accumulating an impressive ₹130 crore nett at the box office within just five days. The film’s success is expected to continue in the coming days, reflecting its strong reception and widespread popularity.

In contrast, Ajay Devgn’s upcoming romantic drama Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, co-starring Tabu, has generated limited buzz. Rumors suggest a potential indefinite postponement of its release, possibly influenced by the overwhelming performance of Kalki 2898 Ad. Fans and industry insiders are awaiting an official statement from the producers regarding the film’s release schedule.

Directed by Neeraj Pandey and produced by Friday Filmworks, Nh Studioz, and Panorama Studios, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha promises a captivating musical score by Mm Keeravani. Despite the current speculation, the film’s anticipation remains due to the strong reputation of its cast and crew.

The latest song from the upcoming film Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, titled Kisi Roz, has been released. Sung by Maithili Thakur and composed by Mm Kreem, the song fails to leave a lasting impression. Despite poignant lyrics by Manoj Muntashir, Maithili’s voice struggles to convey the heartbreak and emotion. The song’s semi-classical composition, intended to showcase Maithili’s folk voice, doesn’t quite blend with the lyrics.

The lyrics, which speak of longing and separation, require a voice that can convey the pain and pathos. Unfortunately, Maithili’s voice falls short, lacking the maturity and depth required to do justice to the emotions. The song’s impact is hindered by her coarse and immature tone, which fails to resonate with the listener.

The film, directed by Neeraj Pandey, stars Ajay Devgn and Tabu in a heartbreaking love story. The song’s failure to impress is a missed opportunity,...

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha – Kisi Roz Song Out (Photo Credit – YouTube)

Ajay Devgn and Tabu’s heartbreaking love story, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, is arriving in theaters on July 5. A new song from the film, helmed by Neeraj Pandey, titled Kisi Roz, is out. The song is crooned by Maithili Thakur and composed by Mm Kreem.

Manoj Muntashir has penned the lyrics, and this is the third song from the love story. Earlier, the two songs, Ae Dil Zara and Tu, did not peak. While Tu, a song about Lord Krishna, is inspired by Chhand, Ae Dil Zara touched hearts.

Now, the third song, Kisi Roz, has been released in Maithili Thakur‘s voice that does not find a place in hearts, simply because of the mismatch of voice, lyrics, and emotions. While Manoj Muntashir’s pen brings the depth of heartbreak, the voice doesn’t justify the emotion.

‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha‘ is gearing up for its release on July 5, featuring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shantanu Maheshwari, and Saiee Manjrekar in pivotal roles. The movie marks a return of the beloved pairing of Ajay Devgn and Tabu.

Unveiling of ‘Ae Dil Zara’

Today, on June 24, the makers unveiled the second track from the film’s music album, titled ‘Ae Dil Zara’. This melodious love song, composed by Oscar-winning music director Mm Keeravani, promises to touch hearts with its soulful lyrics penned by Manoj Muntashir.

The song features vocals by Sunidhi Chauhan, Jubin Nautiyal, Amala Chebolu, and Rishabh Chaturvedi, enhancing its emotional depth and resonance.

Captivating Visuals

‘Ae Dil Zara’ is beautifully picturized on the lead pairs: Ajay Devgn and Tabu, along with Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar, portraying their younger counterparts. The chemistry between the duos adds a captivating layer to the song, portraying emotions of longing and reunion with finesse.

The much-anticipated romantic drama starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu treats fans to its first song, ‘Tuu,’ composed by M M Keeravani and sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Javed Ali.

Exclusive: S.S. Rajamouli is currently assembling a production team for a new movie about the birth and rise of Indian Cinema.

Rajamouli, whose Rrr racked up an Oscar win and over $166M WW, is not directing, we understand. At $130M, Rrr is the third highest grossing movie in Indian cinema. Rajamouli is ‘presenting’ which over in India is a bigger title than producer on a film, though akin to how Hollywood views the role of a producer.

The new biopic about Indian Cinema is not yet titled, though reps for Rajamouli promise it’s a “magnum opus telling” which will be told “on a huge scale and canvas.”

Rrr followed the fictitious telling of two legendary revolutionaries and their journey away from home before they started fighting for their country in the 1920s.

Rrr won an original song Oscar this past spring for its single “Naatu Naatu” written by M.M. Keeravani and Chandrabose.

The much-awaited sequel to the blockbuster horror comedy Chandramukhi (2005) has been delayed by a week due to some technical issues. The film, which was originally scheduled to release on September 15, will now hit the screens on September 28, 2023.

The director of the film, P. Vasu, announced the news on Twitter with a poster featuring the lead actors Raghava Lawrence and Kangana Ranaut. He also promised an extra special treat for the fans who have been eagerly waiting for the film.

Chandramukhi-2 release date has been pushed to September 28 due to technical delays. Vettaiyan & Chandramukhi will be back fiercer than ever.

See you at the theatres with an extra special treat.
