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>

'Runway 34' Twitter review: Netizens call Ajay Devgn & Amitabh Bachchan starrer a thrilling watch

<p>Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn and Kannada star Kiccha Sudeepa had a showdown as the two got into a verbal spat over whether Hindi is the national language of India or not.

<p>Ajay Devgn said, “Kiccha Sudeep, my brother, according to you, if Hindi is not our national language then why do you release your native language [mother tongue] films by dubbing them in Hindi? Hindi was, is and always will be our mother tongue and national language. Jan Gan Man."</p>

Ajay Devgn said, “Kiccha Sudeep, my brother, according to you, if Hindi is not our national language then why do you release your native language [mother tongue] films by dubbing them in Hindi? Hindi was, is and always will be our mother tongue and national language. Jan Gan Man." .@KicchaSudeep मेरे भाई, आपके अनुसार अगर हिंदी हमारी राष्ट्रीय भाषा नहीं है तो आप अपनी मातृभाषा की फ़िल्मों को हिंदी में डब करके क्यूँ रिलीज़ करते हैं? हिंदी हमारी मातृभाषा और राष्ट्रीय भाषा थी, है और हमेशा रहेगी। जन गण मन । — Ajay Devgn (@ajaydevgn) April 27, 2022 × To this, Kiccha wrote, "Hello @ajaydevgn sir.. the context to why i said tat line is entirely different to the way I guess it has reached you. Probably wil emphasis on why the statement was made when I see you in person. It wasn't to hurt,Provoke or to start any debate. Why would I sir." Hello @ajaydevgn sir.. the context to why i said tat line is entirely different to the way I guess it has reached you. Probably wil emphasis on why the statement was made when I see you in person. It wasn't to hurt,Provoke or to start any debate. Why would I sir 😁 https://t.co/w1jIugFid6 — Kichcha Sudeepa (@KicchaSudeep) April 27, 2022 × Meanwhile, it all started when Kiccha Sudeepa had said, “Hindi is no more a national language”, in the wake of South films breaking records at the box office. A few hours later, Ajay tweeted a sweet message for Sudeepa and thanked him for clearing all the misunderstanding, '' ''Hi@KicchaSudeep, You are a friend. thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding. I’ve always thought of the film industry as one. We respect all languages and we expect everyone to respect our language as well. Perhaps, something was lost in translation.'' Hi @KicchaSudeep, You are a friend. thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding. I’ve always thought of the film industry as one. We respect all languages and we expect everyone to respect our language as well. Perhaps, something was lost in translation 🙏 — Ajay Devgn (@ajaydevgn) April 27, 2022 × Hours later Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah too weighed in on the raging debate and tweeted "I am proud to be a Kannadiga." The former CM added that it is the duty of every Indian to respect the linguistic diversity of the country. "Each language has its own rich history for its people to be proud of," Siddaramaiah said. Retweeting Ajay Devgn's tweet in Hindi, Siddaramaiah tweeted, "Hindi was never & will never be our National Language. It is the duty of every Indian to respect linguistic diversity of our Country. Each language has its own rich history for its people to be proud of. I am proud to be a Kannadiga!!" Hindi was never & will never be our National Language.

We can then see inside the cockpit where we hear ATC chatter in the background, about an approaching cyclone, and instructions to ground all aircraft. “It is impossible to land here,” the ATC says. ‘Runway 34’ also stars Boman Irani, Angira Dhar and Aakanksha Singh. BAFTA 2022 pays homage to Lata Mangeshkar in the in memoriam segment Runway 34 is said to be ‘based on a true story’.

<p>OTT has played a major role in the pandemic-affected world as it emerged as a saviour for the entertainment industry and moviegoers alike. But after two years in the spotlight, are OTTs becoming a dumping ground?</p>

<p>Making his OTT debut with 'Rudra – The Edge of Darkness', Ajay Devgn stars in a series that is a remake of the British series 'Luther' as the Bollywood actor steps into Idris Elba's shoes as an obsessive police officer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The series is set in Mumbai, India and Ajay Devgn plays the role of a cop DCP Rudra Veer Singh, who is 24/7 dedicated to his service. He is smart, cunning and solves crimes with his sharp mind but that only leads to his personal life suffering at the hands of his profession.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Director Rajesh Mapuskar wastes no time and quickly takes the audience into the dark tricky world of Rudra with each episode showing highly intelligent criminals vs our cop. The first episode quickly reveals all the main faces of Rudra's life - his estranged wife Shaila, portrayed by Esha, his co-worker, his boss played by Ashwini Kalsekar. Then there is Raashii Khanna who makes her OTT debut with the complex yet the intriguing character of Dr Aliyah Choksi, a criminal and super-intelligent person who builds an unusual bond with Rudra.</p>

<p>The screenplay is not as intriguing as we expected but we must add that the story is simple and is an easy watch. So, it manages to grip the audience without giving a headache.</p>

<p>There are some flaws of course in this old-school hero drama with the story being stretched unnecessarily demanding viewers' time with long dialogues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The casting job is fantastic. Ajay Devgn, who has carved a niche in the industry, manages to lead the series with his brilliant aura and calmness, and his Rudra version is surely a standout from his other on-screen cop roles like 'Singham' series and 'Gangajal'. Khanna's role is smart, her eyes are shiny and grab your attention every time she comes in the frame, but somewhere her character lacks depth and feels like something is unfinished.</p>

<p>Note-worthy performances are delivered by Atul Kulkarni as a cop and Ashwini Kalsekar as a boss and KC Shankar. Meanwhile, Esha, who has made her way back to acting, is not impressive at all.</p>

<p>All over, Ajay Devgn starrer series is truly an Indian version with ample drama, emotion, thriller. Somewhere the story falters with slow screenplay, stretched episodes and has various flaws, but good casting manages to save the series.</p>

'Rudra' Review: Ajay Devgn is flawless in this slow-paced old-school crime drama

<p>The grandeur and the visual extravaganza on&nbsp;any Sanjay Leela Bhansali film are the usual tropes. His latest 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' featuring the incredibly Alia Bhatt is no different. Visual opulence, stunning sets make the film a quintessential Bhansali big-budget blockbuster but 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' scores over and above the obvious- for its performances, for a distinctly feminist voice, for re-telling a story about a section that is always overlooked in Indian society.</p>

<p>Based on chapters from the book ‘Mafia Queens Of Mumbai’ by Hussain Zaidi, 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' is set in the early 1950s and spans over 15 years nearly and showcases the journey of a girl called Ganga who came to Mumbai to become a heroine, was sold off to a brothel by her lover and eventually made Kamathipura- Mumbai's famous red-light district, her home and its people her family.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bhatt plays the young vulnerable, starry-eyed Ganga, who decides to elope one day with the man who she thinks loves her and has promised her the stars. On her arrival to Bombay, she is taken to a brothel, sold off and kept captive for two days without any water or food. Guilty of running away from home without informing her parents, ashamed of the place she is has been sold to, Ganga decides to stay back and make prostitution her profession. Over some time, Ganga becomes Gangu, a name to reckon with in the area, who knows her worth and fights for the rights of her people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A terrible encounter with a client makes Gangu go to the local ganglord Rahim Lala (Ajay Devgn) for justice. Impressed by her honesty, the two strike an uncanny friendship, helping Gangu gain prominence in the area, win local elections and become the voice of the people there.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fuelled by theatrics, stunning camera work and detailed screenplay, 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' is an engrossing&nbsp;<br />
film. The plot may be known but the performances, led by Alia Bhatt keep the viewers hooked through its nearly three hours runtime.</p>

<p>The past three releases of Bhansali's have been centred around love and emotions around it. All featured Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in the lead playing historical characters. With 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' Bhansali shifts focus to Mumbai or Bombay in the 1940s-50s and tells the story of an uncanny hero- a mafia queen which is so refreshing from his past releases.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="g" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7c266e45-d97e-4640-a9da-784b8ec548c2" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202022-02-24T112645.780.jpg" /></p>

<p>Bhansali and co-writer Utkarshini Vashishtha give the story a distinct, strong female voice. Gangu is not ashamed of her past, she is not apologetic of her background and knows her rights too well. She is ahead of her time, knows the power a woman holds in her lifetime and only has the men in her life to help her causes. A scene, that is also part of the trailer, has Gangu taking a few young girls- kids of the brothel- to the nearby school for admission. She offers her name as mother's name and when probed to reveal the father's name, nonchalantly declares 'Dev Anand' highlighting the patriarchy that is imbibed in the system. Then a scene where she delivers a long lecture at Azad Maidaan- she uses humour and facts to highlight the importance of prostitutes in society. In another scene, she reasons with the women why do men have so much arrogance when women are the ones who handle everything.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alia is the star of Bhansali's story. She is equal parts vulnerable, equal parts feisty. She exudes power, charm and charisma as Gangubai Kathiawadi and beautifully shows the journey of a young, naive girl making her living in the red light district and eventually becoming a force to reckon with. Many had doubted her casting when the film was initially announced and felt she was too young to play the Mafia queen. But Alia brings in so much gravitas to her character that it is hard to look at anyone else in the film when Alia is around. This is in a film that boasts of great performances by almost every single actor- the screentime notwithstanding.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-exclusive-alia-bhatt-weighs-in-on-the-importance-of-indian-films-going-to-oscars-456198" hreflang="en">Exclusive: Alia Bhatt weighs in on the importance of Indian films going to Oscars</a></p>

<p>The men in the film are all enablers to Gangu's rise and evolution to a godly woman. There is Ajay Devgn, playing the silent, just Mafia lord who helps Gangu gain prominence in her area. TV actor Shantanu Maheshwari makes an impressive debut as Afsan, the man who falls head over heels for Gangu, never crosses the line and gains respect and affection from her in return. Bhatt and Maheshwari's scenes are all about first love and the two beautifully perform to it. Vijay Raaz plays a eunuch with so grace and dignity and is the person who makes Gangu aspire for a political career. Then there Jim Sarbh, who plays a journalist who helps Gangu become a national sensation. The actors fit their role well and deliver to their script, never overstepping Bhatt - who is truly the hero of the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The songs have the Bhansali trademark. Slow soulful numbers- mostly picturised when Bhatt is seen romancing Maheshwari. The fast numbers are traditional Garba numbers- which may remind you of songs of 'Goliyon Ki Rasleela'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Cinematographer Sudeep Chatterjee- a frequent collaborator with Bhansali- makes the film visually so rich. Scenes where the girls get dressed sitting on a bench minutes before they head out to attract possible customers seem like paintings. Chatterjee's frames enhance Bhansali's signature style but are never too opulent because that's not what the script demands.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo">'Gangubai Kathiawadi' has the right amount of melodrama, humour, emotions and dialogue baazi that make for a typical Bollywood blockbuster. The difference is that while such films in Bollywood is mostly led by a male superstar, here it's a heroine who truly makes the film and its character her own.&nbsp;</div>

For the unversed, the advance bookings were not opened for the Akshay Kumar-starrer till Thursday night due to a tiff between the producers and exhibitors on revenue sharing.

'Sooryavanshi' earns Rs 50 crore at the box office within two days of its release

<p>Rohit Shetty's cop universe is undoubtedly problematic. While both 'Singham' (and its sequel) and 'Simbaa' may have been high on theatrics and drama, it can be safely said that the plot was problematic in many ways. Shetty's new film 'Sooryavanshi' starring our new age Bharat Kumar aka Akshay Kumar tries to correct the narrative, even while playing to the gallery. The result is rather middling.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Shetty presents Akshay Kumar as the daredevil,&nbsp;a reckless cop Veer Suryavanshi, who has a problem in remembering names and following protocols. But since he is always successful in nabbing the wrong guy, all is forgiven by his seniors. He also has a problematic relationship with his wife Ria (Katrina Kaif) who is on the verge of leaving him and migrating to Australia with their son.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While his domestic life is not hunky-dory, at work he is given a mission to nab some of the key members of terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba who are planning an attack on Mumbai and conduct a series of blasts across the city - in a similar fashion as the 1993 blasts that had rocked the city. Kumar and his team of extremely well-built men have limited time to thwart a calamity of gigantic proportion but when has time constraint been a problem for our Bollywood hero.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film plays to the gallery from the beginning, stereotypes most Muslim characters and starts blaming the neighbour country almost from the start of the film. Just when you settle down to watch a nationalistic, anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan film, Shetty flips the narrative and tries to show some 'good', honest and patriotic Muslim characters. If there are four scenes where the film bashes a certain community, it quickly tries to correct itself in the next two scenes- explaining that how the film is not anti-religion but anti-terrorism. It's like they are almost trying to justify their jingoistic narrative with constant harping of how unified our country is.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Akshay Kumar looks fit but slightly uninterested in the film. He appears weary, tired in many of the scenes and not in his usual elements. Surprising, because he gets to perform high-octane stunts. He hangs from helicopters and jumps off buildings and speeding cars yet Kumar's performance appears slightly jaded. He looks tired and he is not in his usual elements. The film's leading lady Katrina Kaif usually huffs and puffs in anger or appears sexy and beautiful serenading the hero in songs. There's isn't much for her to do in a Rohit Shetty film and we aren't surprised.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Rohit Shetty sticks to basics. He has his characters breaking into random Marathi on and off, blows of cars and buses, and even gets a tanker in the end. But unlike his previous films, 'Sooryavanshi' meanders too much around the main plot. Till the interval, the film lacks thrills and is quite -dare-I-say- boring. It doesn't help that the film has an extremely jarring background score which can make you go deaf by the end.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The real action begins when Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn join in during the climax playing their cop avatars Simbaa and Singham respectively. Singh hams through his part but still brings in the laughs while Devgn gets to bash the goons in his signature style. It is a delight to watch the three actors together- especially the two action heroes of the 1990s- play their old selves on screen, performing mind-numbing stunts, and bashing up the bad guys.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
'Sooryavanshi' comes at a time when a certain section of the society is quite polarised with its views. And who better than Akshay Kumar to deliver a message of communal harmony while bashing the villains. It could be a coincidence that all of them belong to the minority community or maybe not.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Sooryavanshi' only manages to create half of the impact that it intended to create on its audience. We have seen better Rohit Shetty films, we have seen better films from Akshay Kumar. It does leave you partially deaf, though.&nbsp;</p>

'Sooryavanshi' review: Akshay Kumar's new film tries to please everyone

<p>The release of Akshay Kumar's 'Sooryavanshi' is just a few hours away but the advance booking in most multiplexes still hasn't started. The film has been directed by Rohit Shetty and features Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif along with Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh in extended cameos.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
There is no sign of advance booking in the big multiplex chains in India- namely PVR, Inox and Cinepolis. Considering 'Sooryavanshi' is being billed as the big Diwali release, the new controversy has led to panic in the exhibition and trade sector.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
So what is the controversy about? The distributor of 'Sooryavanshi' and the Multiplex Association of India have been at the loggerheads for a while over the profit share of the film. The two parties have had a number of meetings over the past few days to discuss the revenue share but still have not been able to reach a consensus.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reports state, that the distributor is asking for terms similar to Akshay Kumar’s last release, 'Bell Bottom' while the multiplex association is wanting to get back to the good old days of doing business. For those unaware, National Chains had agreed with the Bell Bottom team to share 60% revenue in week one, 55% in week two, 50% in week three and 45% in week four. This was done at the time when most theatres across the country were running on 50% occupancy.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Rohit Shetty's 'Sooryavanshi' has been billed as the big release of this festive season. Large footfalls are expected for the film, which has seen several delays in release due to the pandemic.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The multiplex owners have reportedly stated that they are willing to share 52.5% in the first week, 47.5% in the second week, 45% in third week and 40% in fourth week. The cinema owners do not want to follow old revenue figures as the association claims that this would set a wrong example for all the releases going forward.<br />
The box office this week is jam-packed with big films. There is Akshay Kumar's &nbsp;'Sooryavanshi', Marvel's 'Eternals' &amp; Rajnikanth's &nbsp;'Annaatthe'.</p>

<br />
Meanwhile, things are complicated in the single theatres as well as the distributor of 'Sooryavanshi' are expecting 100% showcasing of the film while reports state that some 2000 single-screen theatres have committed to Disney to allot one prime slot to the 'Eternals' which is releasing in multiple regional languages along with its original English language.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
This has resulted in a conflict of interest as team 'Sooryavanshi' is at this point of time in no mood to share a single show with the Marvel saga. Things are being worked out amicably on this front too.<br />
<br />
Amid these uncertainties, it is the fans who are suffering the most. Many of Akshay Kumar and Rohit Shetty's fans have waited patiently for 18 months for the release of the film which was initially supposed to hit theatres in March 2020. With the recent squabble between cinema hall owners and exhibitors, the audience is getting the most affected and facing major difficulties in booking tickets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Every time you think that Bollywood cannot get more ridiculous with its content, it unlocks a new level. Filmmaker Abhishek Dudhaiya could have done wonders with the actual story of 'Bhuj: The Pride Of India'. The plot which is based on a real-life incident of how locals in the remote area of Bhuj, Gujarat, built an airstrip overnight under the able guidance of Airforce&nbsp;officer Vijay Srinivas Karnik during 1971 India-Pakistan war holds potential. The airstrip was built overnight mostly by women of nearby villages in order for the Airforce planes&nbsp;carrying the Indian army to land safely. It is truly a story of teamwork, courage and valour that would make for a wonderful film especially during the&nbsp;Indian Independence weekend. But what we get in 'Bhuj: The Pride Of India' is far from inspiring or entertaining.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There is Ajay Devgn, who also serves as one of the co-producers of this bizarre film, playing Squadron Leader Vijay Srinivas Karnik. He has a lot going on when his airbase is attacked by the Pakistani Airforce, leaving many of his men injured or dead and an airstrip damaged&nbsp;for flying operations. In an extremely chaotic narrative- which loses focus of the timeline with a blink of an eye- we understand that Karnik gets able support from a local informer Ranchordas Pagi (Sanjay Dutt), a fighter pilot (Ammy Virk), an Army officer (Sharad Kelkar), a spy in Pakistan( Nora Fatehi) and a local woman(Sonakshi Sinha) who fights panthers nonchalantly with a sickle in one hand,&nbsp;holding a baby in the other, to ward off a catastrophe that could have cost India its western regions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With excruciating details given by glum looking actors on kilometres, distances, various airbases that fly off the head in greater speed than the Pakistani fighter jets bombarding Indian airbases- one's able to understand that the Bhuj Airbase, during the 1971 war, was targeted by the Pakistani army to gain control over western India. This was in retaliation to the Indian army's involvement in the Bangladesh liberation movement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While I may have sat through 113 minutes of the film to understand the crux of the plot so that it saves time for others, the film painstakingly takes more than 90 minutes to make the audience understand the actual story with multiple jump cuts, out of tune songs, kohl-eyed men, dollops of 'Jai Hind' thrown in at regular intervals and overall Islamophobia and Pakistani bashing. At one point, Fatehi's character shouts back at a Pakistani army officer that his country is the biggest traitor of Islam- a line meant for the gallery.&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/n89h4FqDZ6Q" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>The film has laughable CGI. I found myself laughing at the elaborate aerial stunts that the Indian and Pakistan fighters jets are shown to be embroiled in - exchanging missiles back and forth generously but missing the target predictably.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Not just the CGI but the action sequences, the screenplay, the dialogues all are unintentionally funny. The Pakistani characters sporadically break into complicated Urdu terms in the middle of proper Hindi sentences just to reiterate that they are Muslim. Then Sonakshi Sinha's character breaks into the most off-tune bhajan or war song (not sure ) in the history of Bollywood music amid rebuilding a crucial airstrip. Most characters shout but not speak to each other. Much like the screenplay, on several occasions, random extras run across the screen cluelessly. Devgn always sashays around the airstrip with two men by his side. When he is not ramp walking on the airstrip, he is rising from the ashes likes a Phoenix after surviving multiple aerial bombings at the base.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There's also south actress Pranitha Subhash who plays Devgn's wife- who in the two-hour runtime has not got a single dialogue. Her role involves looking at her husband helplessly throughout the film. The film is not just badly written but also has choppy editing. So many scenes just make no sense to an already jarring narrative.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Loud, jingoistic, irrational and borderline ridiculous- 'Bhuj:The Pride of India' is not for the faint-hearted. Keep the bottle of aspirin handy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is streaming on Disney + Hostar.&nbsp;<br />
