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>After all the tall claims of reviving the movie-theatre glory, the producers of 'Sooryavanshi' have struck a hefty handsome deal with Netflix. The film will stream on the OTT platform from the first week of December- probably from December 5.<br />

Clash of interest? 'Sooryavanshi' sold to OTT for this whopping amount

<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>

Akshay Kumar's 'Sooryavanshi' to not release in multiplexes?

<p>The beleaguered project 'Dostana 2', in the pipeline for ten years, is yet to get its final cast. After&nbsp;Kartik &nbsp;Aaryan's exit from the project in April, the strong buzz doing the rounds is that Akshay Kumar has taken over the project and that the other two lead actors in the project Janhvi Kapoor and newcomer Laksh Lalvani are to be replaced.</p>

<p>However, when I touched base with Karan Johar he said, “Not true at all. Janhvi and Laksh are very much part of the film.”</p>

<p>As for the other lead that Kartik Aaryan vacated- is Akshay Kumar taking over?</p>

<p>Karan replied&nbsp;“My lips are sealed. Will announce soon.”</p>

<p>Ridden with problems from the start the project finally took off in &nbsp;2018. Tarun Mansukhani who directed the hot homophobic hit&nbsp; 'Dostana' in &nbsp;2008 &nbsp;was no longer helming the sequel.

After Kartik Aaryan's exit from the project in April, the strong buzz doing the rounds is that Akshay Kumar has taken over the project and that the other two lead actors in the project Janhvi Kapoor and newcomer Laksh Lalvani are to be replaced. However, when I touched base with Karan Johar he said, “Not true at all. Janhvi and Laksh are very much part of the film.” As for the other lead that Kartik Aaryan vacated- is Akshay Kumar taking over? Karan replied “My lips are sealed. Will announce soon.” Ridden with problems from the start the project finally took off in 2018. Tarun Mansukhani who directed the hot homophobic hit 'Dostana' in 2008 was no longer helming the sequel.

Is Akshay Kumar a part of 'Dostana 2'? Karan Johar reacts

<p>Did Rohit Shetty personally request &nbsp;Salman Khan to shift the release date of the latter’s 'Antim: The &nbsp;Final &nbsp;Truth' to a post-Diwali Friday?<br />

<br />
But 'Sooryavanshi' &nbsp;director &nbsp;Rohit Shetty went over to &nbsp;Salman’s house and asked Salman to shift his film’s release date. Salman’s 'Antim', the film that features the superstar with his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma, will now release on 26 November.</p>

<p>Akshay wrote, “Humbled by condolence messages on mom’s passing, thankful to all. Grateful to hon’ble PM for this amazing gesture to take out time and express warm feelings for me and my late parents. These comforting words will stay with me forever. Jai Ambe.”<br />
<br />
In the letter, PM Modi mentioned, “My dear Akshay, It was best if I would never have written such a letter. In an ideal world, such a time should never have come. I was saddened by the demise of your Mother, Smt. Aruna Bhatia. When I spoke to you that fateful morning, you were crestfallen and you encapsulated it emotionally when you wrote, "She was my core. And today I feel an unbreakable pain at the very core of my existence." You tasted success after much hard work and struggle. You have built a name and achieved fame for yourself through your determination and tenacity''.<br />
<br />
Further adding, he wrote, 'When you began your career, I am sure people on the way would have been sceptical, even outright condescending. But, your Mother stood with you like a rock. At the peak of success and the lows of failure, she was there as an anchor. She ensured you remained kind, compassionate and humble at all times. ''</p>

Akshay Kumar's 'Bell Bottom' leaked online hours after theatrical release

<p>There is nothing that Akshay Kumar can't do. He can single-handedly evacuate the Indian population from war-torn Iraq, he can teach lessons on menstruation to the world and he can ward of barbaric Afghans with just a few handful of people by his side. In filmmaker Ranjit M Tewari's 'BellBottom' he rides outside a moving jeep amid a blinding sandstorm and rescues hostages while fighting&nbsp;terrorists.</p>

<p>Based on true incidents and set in 1984, 'BellBottom' has Kumar playing a RAW agent who leads a covert operation in Dubai to rescue an Indian Airlines flight hijacked by the Khalistanis under the instructions of Pakistan's ISI.</p>

<p>Our Bharat Kumar-whose code name is Bell Bottom is called in during an emergency meeting with the then PM of India Mrs Indira Gandhi(Lara Dutta). The union ministers of Defence and Civil Aviation are not very keen on making Bell Bottom in charge or lead of a covert operation because he has been a desk guy with RAW so far. But RAW&nbsp;chief (Adil Hussain) is convinced that Kumar is the man who can bring everyone home safely without negotiations or releasing any of the arrested terrorists. Turns out Bell Bottom has some personal scores to settle with the group who has highjacked the plane as he had lost his mother in a similar highjack a few years back (what are the odds!?)</p>

<p>Armed with limited aids, Kumar and a handful of agents and ministers fly down to Dubai where the high jacked plane has taxied in the hope to negotiate with the Indian govt and get some of their members out of jail . We do not need to tell you how the rest of the story pans out.</p>

<p>While the plot may take a predictable turn, it still manages to keep the viewers engaged throughout its 2 hours of runtime. It's edgy, entertaining and engaging and that's why the film scores.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Akshay Kumar plays Ayush an IAS aspirant whose life changes when his mother dies and he is recruited by the RAW. It is slightly amusing to watch Akshay Kumar play an individual who scores high in mental abilities and IQ but struggles in the fitness test - while he is training at the academy. He though overcomes his shortcomings in a span of a song like a quintessential Hindi film hero and eventually becomes the most dependable man at the academy. So dedicated he is to his job that even on a family holiday in London, he hunts down a handful of terrorists and gets them arrested. Bharat Kumar, after all!</p>

<p>While the film is all about Akshay Kumar and his histrionics, it also has some credible faces playing supporting characters. There's Sunit Tandon plating ISI chief, Adil Hussain as the RAW chief, Huma Qureshi as an Arab woman helping the Indian government and of course Lara Dutta as Indira Gandhi (kudos to her makeup artist). There is also Dolly Ahluwalia and Vani Kapoor as Kumar's mother and wife. Most of the actors have limited screen time and it is an absolute Akshay Kumar show all the way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kumar, of course, doesn't let down. He is the one-man army who saves the nation in every film and 'BellBottom' is no different. He is sharp enough to identify suspected&nbsp;terrorists without any formal training, he is brave enough to withstand sand storms and rescue his countrymen and he is charming enough to sing and romance women half his age. 'BellBottom'&nbsp;of course, takes a nationalist turn which is very unnecessary for a film with such an interesting plot. In the garb of giving a patriotic film writers Aseem Arrora and Parveez Shaikh not just make Pakistan the main villain but also highlight Khalistan and its anti-nationalist activities in the 1980s which eventually led to Mrs Gandhi's assassination.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is interesting to note that 'Bell Bottom' may not offer any thing that we haven't already seen in other Akshay Kumar films, but it still manages to keep you hooked. The 'one-hero-saving-the-country' formula has been perfected by the superstar over the years which other actors haven't been able to adapt as well as him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The makers claim the film is based on true incidents in history but of course take artistic liberties to make the film an interesting watch. It serves many purposes in one go. It highlights Pakistan's role in encouraging terrorist activities in India, it also shows the Khalistan movement (briefly of course) which in recent months has been a topic of discussion during the farmer's protest, it also reiterates India's strong ties with the UAE, which serves as the backdrop for the climax.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film has unnecessary songs and they make Vani Kapoor look like a woman who has travelled back in time to romance the hero in her very contemporary outfits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Does 'BellBottom' work? Despite its flaws, it does and primarily because of Akshay Kumar and a gripping screenplay. You get into the film knowing how the story is going to pan out but still end up enjoying and that makes the film a winner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'BellBottom' is out in theatres on August 19.&nbsp;<br />

There is nothing that Akshay Kumar can't do. He can single-handedly evacuate the Indian population from war-torn Iraq, he can teach lessons on menstruation to the world and he can ward of barbaric Afghans with just a few handful of people by his side.

There is nothing that Akshay Kumar can't do. He can single-handedly evacuate the Indian population from war-torn Iraq, he can teach lessons on menstruation to the world and he can ward of barbaric Afghans with just a few handful of people by his side. In filmmaker Ranjit M Tewari's 'BellBottom' he rides outside a moving jeep amid a blinding sandstorm and rescues hostages while fighting terrorists. Based on true incidents and set in 1984, 'BellBottom' has Kumar playing a RAW agent who leads a covert operation in Dubai to rescue an Indian Airlines flight hijacked by the Khalistanis under the instructions of Pakistan's ISI. Our Bharat Kumar-whose code name is Bell Bottom is called in during an emergency meeting with the then PM of India Mrs Indira Gandhi(Lara Dutta). The union ministers of Defence and Civil Aviation are not very keen on making Bell Bottom in charge or lead of a covert operation because he has been a desk guy with RAW so far. But RAW chief (Adil Hussain) is convinced that Kumar is the man who can bring everyone home safely without negotiations or releasing any of the arrested terrorists. Turns out Bell Bottom has some personal scores to settle with the group who has highjacked the plane as he had lost his mother in a similar highjack a few years back (what are the odds!?)
