<p>Akshay Kumar's recent advertisement for a tobacco brand has received backlash. The advertisement features Kumar along with Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn. The ad has been making the rounds of the internet for quite a while now. In fact, Kumar stepped down as the brand ambassador of the brand last year after facing criticism from fans for endorsing such a product.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A new ad of the same brand, featuring the three actors has landed in controversy with fans calling him a ‘hypocrite’. After the news went viral, Akshay took to social media to explain what was happening. He said that the ad was shot in 2021 and gave a brief clarification about the legal allowance to run ads that were at that point recorded for the rest of the next month.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Akshay explained that he remains true to his words and people shouldn't worry about the new ad which was shot way back when he was still connected with the brand. The actor further said that the brand has the legal right to utilize his presence until the agreement is finished.<br />
<br />
He wrote on X (Twitter), “‘Returns’ as ambassador? Here’s some fact check for you Bollywood Hungama, if by chance you are interested in things other than fake news. These ads were shot on 13th October 2021. I have not had anything to do with the brand ever since I publicly announced the discontinuation of the endorsement. They can legally run the already-shot ads till the end of next month. Chill and do some real news (sic).”<br />

Akshay has been the face of the anti-smoking public service campaign&nbsp;before the screening of the films. He is also connected with numerous other health campaigns and is famous for promoting a healthy way of life.</p>

Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again shoot begins, here's everything you need to know

<p>Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn on Monday posted a family photo on Instagram amid growing rumours that he was headed for a divorce from his wife Kajol. The rumours started after Kajol uploaded Instagram stories stating that she was going through the toughest time of her life. However, Ajay Devgn’s afternoon brunch photo has shut down all such rumours. In the photo, Ajay can be seen along with his wife Kajol and Kids Nysa and Yug. “Nothing more sacred than spending time with this bunch,” read the caption. Kajol also re-shared this post.</p>

<h2>The Devgns!</h2>

<p>This family selfie has been captured by Ajay’s daughter Nysa. She can be seen wearing a pink sweater. Next to her, Yug can be seen giving a side hug to his sister. Fans also noticed Kajol’s hand on Ajay’s shoulder. She’s looking beautiful in a royal blue silk top and black denim. Kajol completed her look with a minimal make-up look. As usual, the Singham actor opted for a black jacket and T-shirt.</p>

'Nothing more sacred than ...': Ajay Devgn's fabulous family outing with Kajol and kids

<p>Kajol makes her big digital debut in a role that her fans have never seen her playing before. The trailer of <em>The Trial-Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha</em> was released on Monday and features Kajol as a lawyer who has to defend her husband in court despite him cheating on her.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>The Trial - Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha</em> follows the journey of Noyonika (Kajol) as she embarks on a journey that truly makes her stand the test of time after her husband’s betrayal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from Kajol, the web series also features with Sheeba Chaddha, Jisshu Sengupta, Alyy Khan, Kubbra Sait, and Gaurav Pandey in key roles. Produced by Banijay Asia and Ajay Devgn FFilms, <em>The Trial - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka</em> is directed by Suparn S Varma and will begin streaming on 14th July 2023, exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar.</p>

<p>From the looks of the trailer, the web series looks like a gritty courtroom drama that unravels moral dilemmas that drive Noyonika to take charge of her family and her independence. Driven to prove herself in the competitive world of law and navigating her way through complicated relationships while seeking justice for her husband, Noyonika treads through tough challenges served by her fate.</p>

<p><strong>Watch the trailer of <em>The Trail- Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokhaa</em> here:&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><br />
<em>The Trial - Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha</em> is a format of the original US series The Good Wife, which was created by CBS Studios in association with Scott Free Productions and King Size Productions. Executive producers who worked on the show include Robert and Michelle King, Ridley Scott, David Zucker, Brooke Kennedy, Craig Turk, Leonard Dick, Ted Humphrey, and Keith Eisner. The format rights are licensed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.</p>

<p>Kajol, who plays the central character of Noyonika Sengupta, said in a statement, “The complexities are what defines a character to me and the layers surrounding Noyonika are what spoke to me when this role first came over. Noyonika felt personal, I instantly felt protective about her and that reaffirmed my faith in choosing <em>The Trial - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka </em>to be my first step into the long format. Suparn Varma has built a world where the vulnerability of characters meets the cruel situations posed by life. The audience will feel for and feel one with Noyonika as she makes difficult choices because I did.”</p>

<p>Jisshu Sengupta, playing the role of Rajeev Sengupta, Kajol's husband in the show, said, “Suparn Varma is a brilliant filmmaker and a storyteller. He treats his characters and their world like his own. My character Rajiv is the black to Noyonika’s white and that’s what fascinated me. Collaborating with Kajol for <em>The Trial - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka </em>on this was absolutely incredible, she brought out a whole new shade to Rajiv’s character. I think the audience will find their chemistry quite different and keep them hooked to find out where they end up in life.”</p>

<p>Suparn S Varma, showrunner and director for <em>The Trial - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka </em>said, “A choice is not defined by black and white facets, it's the gray area that leads you to make the decision.&nbsp;<em>The Trial - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka</em> treads in the gray area and the complexities that come with it. The characters are weaved in the story in a way that each of them navigates the story in a unique direction which builds their character arcs. Kajol as Noyonika and Jisshu Sengupta as Rajiv bring this tightly woven world together seamlessly. The series will see remarkable talent collaborating with each other for the first time and I think that will be refreshing for the audience to watch.”</p>

Ajay Devgn's film Maidaan teaser dropped today, it looks promising

<p>How much action is too much action? You will constantly ask this question yourself while watching Ajay Devgn's latest directorial venture <em>Bholaa. </em>The film is a remake of the 2019 Tamil film <em>Kaithi</em> starring Karthi and was directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. While the template and the core plot of <em>Bholaa</em> remain true to its original, Devgn's film indulges in high-octane, elaborate and sometimes mind-numbing action sequences to take the narrative forward. The result is a listless film that backs heavily on action, wastes talented actors in stereotypical characters, and refuses to delve deeper into the plot which the original had successfully done.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The story unfolds in a span of a night when an ex-convict Bholaa (Devgn) has to drive a truck full of poisoned cops to medical aid with a cook and an IPS officer Diana Joseph(Tabu) for company. The trio is chasing against time as a dreaded drug lord and his henchmen are out to kill Diana, who has seized a massive illegal consignment of drugs. The said drugs worth millions are safely tucked in the dungeons of an old British-made building now serving as a local police station. The drug lord, an eccentric Ashu (Deepak Dobriyal) sends men across the state to track Tabu and the truck she is traveling in while he heads to the police station with his entorage to get back the stuff that the police have seized. The police station is manned by only one constable (Sanjay Mishra) and a group of detained college students. There is mayhem everywhere and Bholaa has unwittingly found himself helping Diana. An ex-convict who served jail time for 10 years, he has just been released and is on his way to meet his daughter for the first time at an orphanage. He is more anxious about meeting his daughter but is blackmailed to help Diana, who is running against time.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The story, originally written by Kanagaraj, holds a lot of potentials. A lot is happening throughout the night. Rival gangs are trying to intercept the truck that Bholaa is driving, Diana has to get the unconscious cops to a police hospital in time and also reach the police station before Ashu's gang reaches and seizes the drugs. Bholaa also has to finish his job before he is set free to go meet his daughter. The film, to its credit, wastes no time and digs right into the plot from the beginning. Considering it is an Ajay Devgn directorial, you go in expecting stylised action sequences. Staying true to his roots, Devgn skillfully choreographs the action sequences- many of which are long and involves chase sequences on a deserted highway. But then how many shots of action sequences can you possibly put in a story which is set on a single night? After a point, the said sequences become mind numbing, making the whole viewing experience a bit of an ordeal. The stunts defy logic, they are gruesome and after a point- stop making any sense.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The original was deftly able to create a sense of urgency for the lead protagonist who - with a ghory past- is looking forward to a peaceful future with his daughter. There were layers. Unfortunately, the Hindi remake, written by Aamil Keeyan Khan, Ankush Singh, Sandeep Kewlani, and Sriidhar Dubey is unable to put the soul to Bholaa's character. While the narrator (in this case Makrand Deshpande) talks about the fear that Bhola's presence ensued in his heydays- I honestly did not get why he was a ruthless man as he is projected to be. A CGI leopard whimpers like a cat at the sight of Bholaa, he kills goons with a <em>trishul </em>like one picks chicken <em>tikkas</em> with a toothpick - yet the fear and the ruthlessness of the character is never quite properly translated on screen.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K-EMszLvRIQ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Devgn's film boasts of credible actors like Tabu, Sanjay Mishra, Vineet Kumar, Gajraj Rao, and even Amala Paul in a cameo. Most are wasted. The only actor who shines is Deepak Dobriyal as the sinister, mad Ashu. Some would call it hamming, but It works in a film where everything is over the top. The film's background score is perhaps the most jarring and nonsensical one that I have witnessed in a Hindi film in a long time. After a point, the dialogues appear muffled while the score goes up a few decibels.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<em>Bholaa </em>wins only for Devgn's fans as it presents his brand of films- stuff he made at the beginning of his career. Lots of action, a wafer thin&nbsp;plot, and Devgn in a larger-than-life character. So if you are a fan of that genre of films, go for it- but do take a pair of earplugs with you to avoid complete deafness afterward.&nbsp;</p>

Ajay Devgn teases new film 'Bholaa'; release date announced

<p>This year we had some amazing shows and some of them told stories of people who have been lost in time.&nbsp;Portraying real-life characters on screen comes with a set of challenges as comparisons are inevitable and one has to get the mannerism and the essence of the characters well so as it appears too melodramatic on screen.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here are some of the actors who have portrayed real-life characters flawlessly on screen in 2022.</p>

<p><strong>Vikram Sarabhai - Ishwak Singh (Rocket Boys)</strong></p>

<p>Considered the father of the Indian Space Program, Vikram Sarabhai’s journey was hardly shown on the screen until and unless Ishwak Singh was picked up in the 'Rocket Boys' series. He portrayed the character so well that now we can’t imagine anyone else in that role.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>IPS Amit Lodha - Karan Tacker (Khakhee - The Bihar Chapter)</strong></p>

<p>Karan Tacker was seen in Khakee The Bihar Chapter, where he portrayed IPS Amit Lodha. The story is based on Amit's book Bihar Diaries: The True Story of How Bihar's Most Dangerous Criminal Was Caught. The real life thriller that Karan played to perfection.</p>

<br />
<strong>Gangubai - Alia Bhatt (Gangubai Kathiawadi)</strong></p>

<p>Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' turned out to be one of the blockbusters of the year, where Alia Bhatt was seen playing the title role. The film is about the real life inspired story who later is admirably sold into a brothel. The film tells the tale of the commercial sex worker who rose to incredible amounts of fame for her work in her profession and beyond.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>Capt Vikrant Khanna - Ajay Devgn (Runway 34)</strong></p>

<p>Ajay Devgn tells the story of Capt Vikrant Khanna and the film is inspired by an aviation incident on a Jet Airways flight from Dubai to Kochi in 2015. A story of Vikrant’s heroic decision that saved so many lives.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
<strong>Mithali Raj - Taapsee Pannu (Shabash Mithu)</strong></p>

<p>Strong performance from Taapsee Pannu as she brings the story of Mithali Raj, former captain of a women’s cricket team, on screen. The actress even got rave reviews for her performance.</p>

<p><img alt="ta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8bf57d45-5ee1-4ee0-9806-327d40d9d18a" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202022-12-15T131659.143.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Nambi Narayanan - R Madhavan (Rocketry)</strong></p>

<p>R Madhavan plays the role of Indian scientist Nambi Narayanan who was once accused of espionage. Madhavan mastered the role so well that even the physical resemblance between both of them was uncanny.</p>

<p>Mumbai's iconic cinema Maratha Mandir is reportedly going house full these days- all thanks to the release of Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, and Tabu starrer 'Drishyam 2'.&nbsp;<br />

Drishyam 2 movie day 4 collection: The streak continues as Ajay Devgn’s movie outshines others

<p>Can one ever brush off a murder? Despite the circumstances that may have led to the crime, once there's blood on one's hand, it's hard to wash it off. Something that Vijay Salgaonkar and his family are very aware of in Abhishek Pathak's 'Drishyam 2. The Salgaonkars may have gone scot-free for lack of evidence in the Sam Deshmukh murder case but seven years on, their lives have changed drastically.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based on 2021 Jeetu Joseph's Malayalam hit by the same name, 'Drishyam 2' picks up seven years from when the first film - released in 2015- had finished. The Salgaonkars continue to live in Goa where Vijay is still a cinema-crazy man. His business of cable tv networks has only grown with him now successfully running a cinema hall and even dabbling in film production. He drinks more often though while his family- wife Nandini and daughters Anju and Anu deal with stress. Anju, the elder daughter till&nbsp;date suffers from seizures at the site of a police officer while Nandini feels suffocated thinking of the fateful night.</p>

<p>Things seem hunky dory from the outside even though the town they live in continues to gossip about that fate full night when top cop Meera Deshmukh's son was murdered.</p>

<p>Seven years later, an unexpected turn of events leads to the opening up of the case. There's a new IG in a town called Atul Ahlawat who is a 'mad' cop according to his juniors and knows the right tactics to extract the correct information.</p>

<p>The Salgaonkars are again called back to the police station for questioning and this time Vijay confesses to the murder. But is Vijay truly the killer?&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film takes time to establish itself. The first half an hour of the film is spent in introducing the various characters of the plot. While the remake sticks to the original template mostly, some scenes are added additionally, perhaps to suit the Hindi-speaking audience. I honestly did not find the first half of the film that engaging nor did I feel too invested in the story. But in the second half, the film truly shines. The writing is far more effective, when the pace of the story picks up, making it a deeply engaging narrative where you don't want to miss even the minutest details lest you miss out on an important clue.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cxA2y9Tgl7o" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>The beauty of the 'Drishyam 2' story- originally written by Jeetu Joseph and adapted by Pathak and Upendra Sidhaye- is that it beautifully involves the audience in unraveling the plot. You know that the body of the deceased has finally been found and that Vijay has confessed to the crime yet you are keen to know what is going his ultimate fate because as he rightly tells his film's writer, 'Audiences don’t like their hero going to jail at the end,' revealing that there is more to the story that a mere confession to a ghastly crime.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Much like its original, 'Drishyam 2' too also boasts of good performance from its actors. Ajay Devgn delivers a restrained but lucid performance as the smart, sharp Vijay Salgaonkar who with his brain could have ruled the world but instead chose to protect his family and provide them with a comfortable role. Devgn portrays Vijay with absolute ease- making him an extension almost of himself. The actor holds the film together, even though some patchy scenes in the first half. Complementing him are actors Akshay Khanna, Tabu, and Shriya Saran in their respective roles. Special mention for actress Ishita Dutta who in her limited screen time presents the vulnerable traumatized Anu well.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
For many, who have watched the original film in 2021, 'Drishyam 2' may appear to be repetitive. For the purist, it may come across as just another remake, but Abhishek Pathak's film works - as a remake and as a stand-alone sequel of a hit Hindi film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film retains almost all its original actors and is truly a sequel of a thriller and not just a shoddy extension of the same universe. The story goes forward about redemption, about finding closure on a case that has left two families scarred forever.

Can one ever brush off a murder? Despite the circumstances that may have led to the crime, once there's blood on one's hand, it's hard to wash it off. Something that Vijay Salgaonkar and his family are very aware of in Abhishek Pathak's 'Drishyam 2.

Can one ever brush off a murder? Despite the circumstances that may have led to the crime, once there's blood on one's hand, it's hard to wash it off. Something that Vijay Salgaonkar and his family are very aware of in Abhishek Pathak's 'Drishyam 2. The Salgaonkars may have gone scot-free for lack of evidence in the Sam Deshmukh murder case but seven years on, their lives have changed drastically. Based on 2021 Jeetu Joseph's Malayalam hit by the same name, 'Drishyam 2' picks up seven years from when the first film - released in 2015- had finished. The Salgaonkars continue to live in Goa where Vijay is still a cinema-crazy man. His business of cable tv networks has only grown with him now successfully running a cinema hall and even dabbling in film production. He drinks more often though while his family- wife Nandini and daughters Anju and Anu deal with stress. Anju, the elder daughter till date suffers from seizures at the site of a police officer while Nandini feels suffocated thinking of the fateful night. Things seem hunky dory from the outside even though the town they live in continues to gossip about that fate full night when top cop Meera Deshmukh's son was murdered. Seven years later, an unexpected turn of events leads to the opening up of the case. There's a new IG in a town called Atul Ahlawat who is a 'mad' cop according to his juniors and knows the right tactics to extract the correct information. The Salgaonkars are again called back to the police station for questioning and this time Vijay confesses to the murder. But is Vijay truly the killer? The film takes time to establish itself. The first half an hour of the film is spent in introducing the various characters of the plot. While the remake sticks to the original template mostly, some scenes are added additionally, perhaps to suit the Hindi-speaking audience. I honestly did not find the first half of the film that engaging nor did I feel too invested in the story. But in the second half, the film truly shines. The writing is far more effective, when the pace of the story picks up, making it a deeply engaging narrative where you don't want to miss even the minutest details lest you miss out on an important clue. The beauty of the 'Drishyam 2' story- originally written by Jeetu Joseph and adapted by Pathak and Upendra Sidhaye- is that it beautifully involves the audience in unraveling the plot. You know that the body of the deceased has finally been found and that Vijay has confessed to the crime yet you are keen to know what is going his ultimate fate because as he rightly tells his film's writer, 'Audiences don’t like their hero going to jail at the end,' revealing that there is more to the story that a mere confession to a ghastly crime. Much like its original, 'Drishyam 2' too also boasts of good performance from its actors. Ajay Devgn delivers a restrained but lucid performance as the smart, sharp Vijay Salgaonkar who with his brain could have ruled the world but instead chose to protect his family and provide them with a comfortable role. Devgn portrays Vijay with absolute ease- making him an extension almost of himself. The actor holds the film together, even though some patchy scenes in the first half. Complementing him are actors Akshay Khanna, Tabu, and Shriya Saran in their respective roles. Special mention for actress Ishita Dutta who in her limited screen time presents the vulnerable traumatized Anu well. For many, who have watched the original film in 2021, 'Drishyam 2' may appear to be repetitive. For the purist, it may come across as just another remake, but Abhishek Pathak's film works - as a remake and as a stand-alone sequel of a hit Hindi film. The film retains almost all its original actors and is truly a sequel of a thriller and not just a shoddy extension of the same universe. The story goes forward about redemption, about finding closure on a case that has left two families scarred forever. The film shines mostly for its writing as it sets a perfect example of how a sequel should be made ideally. Don't miss 'Drishyam 2' even if you have watched the remake. It is a worthy sequel and a credible remake with terrific writing. Drishyam 2 releases in theatres on November 18.

'Drishyam 2' review: Ajay Devgn, Tabu's film is a textbook example of how a sequel should be made

<p>With just two days left for Ajay Devgn's 'Drishyam 2' to hit the big screens, the excitement around the film is high. Fans who had loved the 2015 film 'Drishyam' have been eagerly waiting for the sequel ever since.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The whodunnit thriller featured Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Tabu, Ishita Dutta, and Rajat Kapoor in key roles. An edge-of-the-seat thriller, 'Drishyam' was based on a Malayalam thriller of the same name. The original featured Mohanlal.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
When the Hindi remake of the Malayalam hit was released in 2015, the film fared well at the box office. According to reports, the film had garnered over US$1.9 million in seven weeks of its run in the theatres.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film, directed by the late filmmaker Nishikant Kamath, was well received not just by the audience but also critics.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Seven years on, a lot has changed in terms of how the audience views films.<br />
<br />
<strong>Will 'Drishyam 2' be able to create magic at the box office?</strong><br />
<br />
The sequel of the film is also a remake of the Malayalam film 'Drishyam 2' which was released in 2021 and starred Mohanlal in the lead. The story picks up six years after the fateful night of October 2 when Vijay Salgaonkar (Devgn) and his family's life changed forever. However, in a recent interview, Devgn stated that the Hindi film is not an exact remake of the Malayalam film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"There were a lot of characters added, and a lot of changes made. You won't see Akshaye's (Khanna) character in the (Malayalam) film or Gaitonde (Kamlesh Sawant). So, a lot of changes have been made but like Abhishek (Pathak, the director) said, keeping the soul of the film intact. So, I think, when you see the film, it's going to be very fresh for you."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Drishyam 2' comes at a time when several remakes in Bollywood have failed to create an impression amongst the viewers as well as at the box office. '<br />
Shahid Kapoor’s 'Jersey', Hrithik Roshan-Saif Ali Khan’s 'Vikram Vedha', and Aamir Khan’s 'Laal Singh Chaddha' were some of the top-billed films that failed to create any mark at the box office.&nbsp;</p>

India's national film award winners announced: Ajay Devgn and Suriya share best actor award

<p>Two big-budget films are released this Friday. Tiger Shroff's 'Heropanti 2' and Ajay Devgn's 'Runway 34'. Both the film was billed as big-budget, multi starrer and expected to bring in moolah at the box office.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Early reports indicate that 'Heropantri' is doing better business than 'Runaway 34'. While both the films struggled to get their house full on the first day of the release, trade pandits predict Tiger Shroff's film to do better business over the weekend.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
According to a report on Boxofficeindia ‘Heropanti 2' earned Rs 7 crore nett while ‘Runway 34’ earned around Rs 3.25 crore nett. These figures are one of the lowest opening-day numbers for both &nbsp;Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff. It remains to be seen whether ‘Heropanti 2’ and ‘Runway 34’ manage to cash in during the Eid holiday.</p>
