<p>Aishwaryaa was recently in the news when she announced her divorce from husband Dhanush. The former couple posted a lengthy statement that goes like: “18 years of togetherness as friends, couple, as parents and well-wishers to each other... The journey has been of growth, understanding, adjusting and adapting. Today we stand at a place where our paths separate... Dhanush and I have decided to part ways as a couple and take time to understand us as individuals for the better. Please do respect our decision and give us the needed privacy to deal with it."&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-time-to-return-to-theatres-as-prabhas-starrer-radhe-shyam-confirms-release-date-449752" hreflang="en">Time to return to theatres as Prabhas starrer 'Radhe Shyam' confirms release date</a></p>

Rajinikanth's daughter Aishwaryaa tests COVID positive, shares post on social

<p>The mighty Rajinikanth who is known to achieve any goal on screen, no matter how impossible, has set his heart on a new mission: he wants to mend his daughter Aishwaryaa's marriage with the superstar-in-his-own-right Dhanush.</p>

<p>Dhanush and Aishwarya announced their separation earlier this month after 18 years of marriage.</p>

<p>However, Aishwarya’s father has not come to terms with the reality.</p>

And who knows? It just may happen. Families of both Aishwarya and Dhunsh are pressurizing the couple to reconcile.</p>

Rajinikanth is urgently trying to save daughter Aishwaryaa and Dhanush’s marriage

<p>By announcing his separation from his wife Aishwaryaa of 18 years, actor Dhanush has risked the wrath of Rajinikanth’s fandom. This could mean all of Tamil Nadu, give or take a &nbsp;few pockets where Dhanush’s attempts to do an anti-Rajinikanth(“I never wanted to be known as a superstar”) impressed an elite audience.</p>

<p>Hours after Dhanush and his wife Aishwaryaa announced the end of their marriage, I was on the phone with a major Tamil actor who placed the blame on the breached marriage squarely on Dhanush.</p>

<p>“This is not a bolt from the blue like Samantha and Naga Chaitanya calling off their marriage. No one, not even their closest friends or even the couple’s parents, had seen that one coming. This is different. Rajini’s fan clubs won’t like it,” the actor said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rajinikanth’s daughters did not marry into happily-ever-after partnerships. The impending separation was killing Rajinikanth for years. When his younger daughter Soundarya separated from her (first) husband Rajinikanth was shattered. He pleaded with his elder daughter Aishwarya to not call off her marriage, if not for the sake of Rajinikanth’s image, then for their two sons who are still young. Yatra is 16 and Linga is 12. If I was their parent I’d keep them away from school for at least the next month.</p>

<p>Sources in the know tell me, Aishwaryaa tried hard to keep the marriage going. She continued to ignore Dhanush’s rumoured adventures outside marriage, as most wives in the Indian entertainment industry do.</p>

<p>I have no clue why this couple decided to call it quits at this point of time. As my Tamil actor-friend snidely suggested, “Maybe Aishwaryaa wants to re-marry, as she has every right to. It can’t be Dhanush. He will never marry again, he doesn’t need &nbsp;to.”</p>

<p>No one who knows anything about the Tamil film industry- is even remotely shocked. This separation was coming for a long time. Dhanush and Aishwaryaa were heading in opposite directions for a while.</p>

<p>In &nbsp;2012, Aishwarya &nbsp;Rajnikant Dhanush(as she called herself) directed a fascinating Tamil thriller called '3'. It was an out-of-the-box experimental film that attained pre-release fame through Dhanush absurdist song &nbsp;'Kolaveri Di'. In hindsight, the song’s success was not only deservingly short-lived but also thoroughly embarrassing for all concerned. Worse of all, it eclipsed the merits of Aishwarya’s film.</p>

<p>If the &nbsp;'Kolaveri Di' lyrics were a hotchpotch mix of English and Tamil, the singing style didn’t conform to any particular style and it was sung by a non-singer — despite all that, it became a super hit.<br />
<br />
Dhanush, who lent his voice to it, says his lack of comfort with the English language helped him in choosing the words to connect with people who are not fluent in the language.<br />
<br />
Said Dhanush, “It’s just a song. Just a phase. It will pass. I am one of those people, who don’t know how to speak proper English. But I manage. Speaking the English language was initially a huge problem for me, so I knew how to connect with people like me. I knew what words to choose so that they connect with people, who are not fluent in English."</p>

<p>The song, composed by &nbsp;Anirudh Ravichander, was a part of &nbsp;Dhanush’s wife Aishwarya’s directorial debut '3'. Dhanush had no illusions about the quality of the lyrics. "It’s not poetry. Whatever silly words came to my mind, I used it in the song. It’s just like any composition, nothing special. A group of us GenNext kids —me, Shruti Haasan, my wife Aishwarya and the composer Anirudh — were open to ideas. The tune was done in 20 minutes. As soon as I heard the song, the words simply came to my mind spontaneously. I wanted the words to be understood by everybody regardless of whether they know English or not," he added.</p>

<p>The actor admitted to me that the song had overshadowed his wife’s film. "It seems the song has become bigger than the film. But the film has a solid and novel script. Once people see the film they’ll see the song as just a part of the narration. Now I’m just going to focus on shooting the song for my wife’s film. Let’s see where it goes from there.”</p>

<p>'3' was released, bombed and there were whispers in the film industry that Rajnikanth had to pay off some of the debts.</p>

<p>Dhanush angrily responded to this rumour, “How I love the stories that are created just because I am married to a particular person's daughter.'3' has suffered no losses. And even if there are losses to be compensated for, God has been kind to me. I can take care of my own financial liabilities, thank you very much.”</p>

<p>This was 10 years ago - during a time when no one imagined Rajinikanth's daughters would both end their marriages. One of them has found love again. One hopes the same for the other. One also hopes that Rajnikanth doesn’t take his daughter’s heartbreak to heart. If anything were to happen to his former father-in-law, things may get uncomfortable for &nbsp;Dhanush.</p>

Dhanush teases first look of his Tamil-Telugu film 'Sir'

<p>Critics are &nbsp;either &nbsp;loving it or hating it Aanand Rai’s unconventional &nbsp;love story 'Atrangi Re'.He says&nbsp;he fine with the divided opinions. “As long as no one is indifferent to it, I am fine.When I &nbsp; set &nbsp;off to make this film I &nbsp;was not thinking &nbsp;of &nbsp;how people would react. I never do. I cannot be tied down &nbsp;to expectations, mine or others. I have to do what I &nbsp;have to do. I had to make a film about this girl who cannot be forced to conform.For the &nbsp;longest time, I wanted to do a film on the father-daughter &nbsp;theme. When my writer &nbsp;Himanshu Sharma came up with this idea I knew I had to make this film.”</p>

<p>As Rinku, Sara Ali Khan is &nbsp;all over the place.And that’s the way Aanand wanted &nbsp;it. “I wanted that uncontrollable personality. That’s why she was cast. I must say it was a delightful experience working with her and with Akshay Kumar and Dhanush who are quite easily among the best talent of Indian cinema. Incidentally, I didn’t know that Rinku was Sara’s grandmother Sharmila Tagoreji’s nickname. Sara told me during the shooting. She was &nbsp;very kicked about it.”</p>

<p>I suspect Aanand wrote Dhanush’s character as a Tamilian to accommodate Dhanush?</p>

<p>Aanand can’t stop singing Dhanush and Akshay &nbsp;Kumar’s praise. “Dhanush is &nbsp;a marvel of nature. What he has brought to 'Atrangi Re' is beyond anything I expected.As for Akshay, you know, like me , he doesn’t think about himself. He thinks &nbsp;only &nbsp;about the film.I didn’t have to convince him to do the role . He wanted &nbsp;to be part of 'Atrangi Re'. I wanted a certain magic in the &nbsp;character he &nbsp;played. Akshay has brought in that magic.”</p>

<p>People &nbsp;are wondering &nbsp;how and why Aanand has shown groom-kidnapping &nbsp;in Bihar &nbsp;in this day and age when it has long been abolished. Aanand &nbsp;in his defence says, “But where have I said that my film is set in present &nbsp;times? My films &nbsp;never follow a timeline. In my film the &nbsp;groom kidnapping &nbsp;and what follows, &nbsp;happens. This is &nbsp;the world I wanted to create with my writer Himanshu Sharma.You may &nbsp;have creative &nbsp;and historic quibbles with my world. But I &nbsp;think discussion is &nbsp;a healthy part of &nbsp;any creative endeavour. I am glad people are &nbsp;talking about 'Atrangi Re', good or bad. I’d be worried if they had &nbsp;nothing to say.”</p>

<p>The &nbsp;film addresses &nbsp;the very serious issue of schizophrenia.And yet nowhere is that word mentioned. Aanand says he &nbsp;wanted it that way. “If as &nbsp;you &nbsp;say it is schizophrenia(that one of &nbsp;the protagonists suffers from) &nbsp;then &nbsp;the people &nbsp;around her &nbsp;do &nbsp;not recognize it &nbsp;by &nbsp;that name.Her grandmother,played by Seema Biswas,calls it madness. &nbsp;The &nbsp;characters in the &nbsp;film &nbsp;have probably never heard of schizophrenia. I &nbsp;wanted it to be that way. Early when I had &nbsp;just started shooting Atrangi I showed some rushes to &nbsp;a friend who laughed &nbsp;and cried.He confessed &nbsp;he felt guilty &nbsp;about laughing at the &nbsp;mental disorder of &nbsp;a &nbsp;character. &nbsp;But the laughter is not meant to &nbsp;take &nbsp;away &nbsp;from seriousness of &nbsp;the situation. &nbsp;It is &nbsp;meant to take away the sting from tragedy.”</p>

<p>As for &nbsp;charges of trivializing mental &nbsp;disorder, Aanand shrugs, &nbsp;“I am &nbsp;used &nbsp;to such accusations. When my Raanjhanaa was &nbsp;released I was accused of legitimizing stalking.These things &nbsp;don’t bother me. I won’t stop making the &nbsp;films I want to. I won’t live in &nbsp;the fear of failure. For half my life I was frightened. &nbsp;I am not going to be &nbsp;frightened as a filmmaker.I want to make the &nbsp;films that will be discussed &nbsp;long after I am gone.”</p>

<p>In the end-credits of 'Atrangi Re' Aanand has paid his team members A R Rahman, Irshad Kaamil,(cinematographer) Pankaj &nbsp;Kumar,(editor) Hemal Kothari &nbsp;and writer Himasnhu Sharma a tribute by designating &nbsp;'Atrangi Re' as their film?</p>

<p>Aanand says he hadn’t planned this as a &nbsp;gimmick &nbsp;to impress the audience on how generous he was. “I genuinely feel the film couldn't have been made without them. Rahman Sir’s music takes my film to another level.I told him I didn’t want &nbsp;single songs that &nbsp;would go up the charts.

Critics are either loving it or hating it Aanand Rai’s unconventional love story 'Atrangi Re'.He says he fine with the divided opinions. “As long as no one is indifferent to it, I am fine.When I set off to make this film I was not thinking of how people would react. I never do. I cannot be tied down to expectations, mine or others. I have to do what I have to do. I had to make a film about this girl who cannot be forced to conform.For the longest time, I wanted to do a film on the father-daughter theme. When my writer Himanshu Sharma came up with this idea I knew I had to make this film.” As Rinku, Sara Ali Khan is all over the place.And that’s the way Aanand wanted it. “I wanted that uncontrollable personality. That’s why she was cast. I must say it was a delightful experience working with her and with Akshay Kumar and Dhanush who are quite easily among the best talent of Indian cinema. Incidentally, I didn’t know that Rinku was Sara’s grandmother Sharmila Tagoreji’s nickname. Sara told me during the shooting. She was very kicked about it.” I suspect Aanand wrote Dhanush’s character as a Tamilian to accommodate Dhanush? Aanand can’t stop singing Dhanush and Akshay Kumar’s praise. “Dhanush is a marvel of nature. What he has brought to 'Atrangi Re' is beyond anything I expected.As for Akshay, you know, like me , he doesn’t think about himself. He thinks only about the film.I didn’t have to convince him to do the role . He wanted to be part of 'Atrangi Re'. I wanted a certain magic in the character he played. Akshay has brought in that magic.” People are wondering how and why Aanand has shown groom-kidnapping in Bihar in this day and age when it has long been abolished. Aanand in his defence says, “But where have I said that my film is set in present times? My films never follow a timeline. In my film the groom kidnapping and what follows, happens. This is the world I wanted to create with my writer Himanshu Sharma.You may have creative and historic quibbles with my world. But I think discussion is a healthy part of any creative endeavour. I am glad people are talking about 'Atrangi Re', good or bad. I’d be worried if they had nothing to say.” The film addresses the very serious issue of schizophrenia.And yet nowhere is that word mentioned. Aanand says he wanted it that way. “If as you say it is schizophrenia(that one of the protagonists suffers from) then the people around her do not recognize it by that name.Her grandmother,played by Seema Biswas,calls it madness. The characters in the film have probably never heard of schizophrenia. I wanted it to be that way. Early when I had just started shooting Atrangi I showed some rushes to a friend who laughed and cried.He confessed he felt guilty about laughing at the mental disorder of a character. But the laughter is not meant to take away from seriousness of the situation. It is meant to take away the sting from tragedy.” As for charges of trivializing mental disorder, Aanand shrugs, “I am used to such accusations. When my Raanjhanaa was released I was accused of legitimizing stalking.These things don’t bother me. I won’t stop making the films I want to. I won’t live in the fear of failure. For half my life I was frightened. I am not going to be frightened as a filmmaker.I want to make the films that will be discussed long after I am gone.” In the end-credits of 'Atrangi Re' Aanand has paid his team members A R Rahman, Irshad Kaamil,(cinematographer) Pankaj Kumar,(editor) Hemal Kothari and writer Himasnhu Sharma a tribute by designating 'Atrangi Re' as their film? Aanand says he hadn’t planned this as a gimmick to impress the audience on how generous he was. “I genuinely feel the film couldn't have been made without them. Rahman Sir’s music takes my film to another level.I told him I didn’t want single songs that would go up the charts. I wanted a soundtrack album where the music and songs carry the story forward. Any regrets about 'Atrangi Re' not being able to release in movie theatres? “Of course I wanted it released in theatres.That’s where 'Atrangi Re' belongs. Having said, I don’t think there was a choice in the matter. The OTT platform doesn’t diminish the impact of my film.”

Kabir Khan narrates the inspiring story of the Indian cricket team which were considered underdogs at the 1983 world cup. With odds against them, the team, headed by Kapil Dev went to win the historic championship. For WION, Shomini Sen writes, "The plot is known to all cricket buffs all too well. India played reigning champions West Indies team at World Cup 1983 in the UK. No one, including members of the cricket board in India and some of the players, believed that the team had a chance to win the coveted cup.

'83', 'Atrangi Re', 'Don't Look Up' and 'Matrix 4' releases this week: Which one should you watch

<p>The lead pair of Anand L Rai's latest 'Atrangi Re' are stark opposites. He is a medical student, she is a vagabond. He is from the south, she is from up north. He is polite, caring, she only listens to her heart. They both are in love with other people but fate forces them to get married.</p>

<p><strong>* This review may contain spoilers.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Both Vishu (Dhanush) and Rinku (Sara Ali Khan) &nbsp;come to an agreement that they will go their separate ways once they reach Delhi. Post their forced wedding, the two have been packed off to Delhi on a train. Vishu has to head to Chennai to get engaged to his college sweetheart and Rinku is waiting for her lover Sajjad (Akshay Kumar) to get back to India from a work trip in Africa. He is a magician, claims Rinku to Vishu.</p>

<p>Things go awry when Vishu's fiance finds out about his secret wedding and he finds himself defending his wife, Rinku in front of his future in-laws. As they head back to Delhi, Vishu realises he is in love with Rinku. But unsettling secrets tumble out and issues of mental health crop up as Rinku realises she is drawn towards Sajjad and Vishu at the same time.</p>

<p>Filmmaker Anand L Rai' and writer and producer Himanshu Sharma, have earlier worked together in films like 'Tanu Weds Manu', 'Zero', Ranjhana. In all these films, female characters are usually rebels, feisty and bossy. 'Atrangi Re' is no different. Rinku is not an easy person to be around which perhaps makes her more attractive for the opposite sex. But the problem in 'Atrangi Re' lies in its treatment of mental health and symptoms related to the various diseases. One of the main characters in the film has symptoms of schizophrenia and instead of treating it with sensitivity, it almost makes it comical, making the writers appear tone-deaf about issues related to mental illness.</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/x3oMm5JGXZM" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>At one point in the film, Vishu and his psychiatrist friend Madhukar (Ashish Verma) are shown seated in a small theatre packed with people, aimlessly clapping at Sara Ali Khan who is on stage supposedly aiding Kumar in performing magic tricks. When Vishu asks his friend who are the people in the audience, Madhukar replies 'they are my patients, all suffering from some ailment like Alzheimer, dementia etc. They will surely clap without questioning much.'The scene may infuriate mental health practitioners. It's is quite cringe-worthy to be fair. That's not all, the absurdities lie in the entire story. How is Rinku allowed to stay with Vishu for days at his college hostel? Why does Vishu and his friends- all final year medic students- indulge Rinku and her whims so much? So many plot points remain sketchy throughout 'Atrangi Re'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
That has been a problem in several of Rais films. They trivialize issues or glorify them in the name of true love or unintentionally (I hope) end up offending a certain section of society.</p>

The film revolves around Sara&nbsp;Ali Khan's character Rinku who is a complex personality. She is rebellious, immature and loves the idea of being in love. It's a difficult role to play and Sara handles it with maturity. At some points, she may come across a bit over the top but it suits the character she plays.</p>

<p><img alt="a" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b7380c3f-d1d3-45da-954a-a66e70538981" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202021-12-24T094151.216.jpg" /><br />

The star of the show is undoubtedly Dhanush. He plays Vishu, a man conflicted because of his feelings but also someone righteous. Dhanush is known for his acting prowess (he has won the prestigious Best Actor National Film Award twice) and Vishu is not that complex a character to play. But the actor brings in effortless charm, a certain vulnerability to his role which stays with you much after the film is over. You know that the story is vague and illogical but you want to play along just like Vishu because you want him to be happy.</p>

<p>Some of the scenes though pull your heartstrings. When Vishu professes his love to Rinku in his mother tongue and minutes later Rinku runs off to welcome her lover while Vishu wipes his tears and walks away is a very special moment in the film and performed very well by the principal cast. Then the climax scene- where there are no dialogues but so much is explained about Rinku and Sajjad's past is a powerful scene.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film has AR Rahman churning out some melodious tunes. 'Rait Zarasi' and 'Little little' particularly stand out. Shot by Pankaj Kumar, the film is visually very pleasing. Some silhouette shots, the 'Chakachak' song are so well shot. So are the scenes featuring Akshay Kumar in a circus, performing magic tricks.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the end 'Atrangi Re' is an indulgent story. Takes ample liberties, leaves several questions unanswered and misses the conversation around mental health by a mile. It deserves a watch only for Dhanush and Rahman's music.</p>

The lead pair of Anand L Rai's latest 'Atrangi Re' are stark opposites. He is a medical student, she is a vagabond. He is from the south, she is from up north. He is polite, caring, she only listens to her heart.

The lead pair of Anand L Rai's latest 'Atrangi Re' are stark opposites. He is a medical student, she is a vagabond. He is from the south, she is from up north. He is polite, caring, she only listens to her heart. They both are in love with other people but fate forces them to get married. * This review may contain spoilers. Both Vishu (Dhanush) and Rinku (Sara Ali Khan) come to an agreement that they will go their separate ways once they reach Delhi. Post their forced wedding, the two have been packed off to Delhi on a train. Vishu has to head to Chennai to get engaged to his college sweetheart and Rinku is waiting for her lover Sajjad (Akshay Kumar) to get back to India from a work trip in Africa. He is a magician, claims Rinku to Vishu. Things go awry when Vishu's fiance finds out about his secret wedding and he finds himself defending his wife, Rinku in front of his future in-laws. As they head back to Delhi, Vishu realises he is in love with Rinku. But unsettling secrets tumble out and issues of mental health crop up as Rinku realises she is drawn towards Sajjad and Vishu at the same time. Filmmaker Anand L Rai' and writer and producer Himanshu Sharma, have earlier worked together in films like 'Tanu Weds Manu', 'Zero', Ranjhana. In all these films, female characters are usually rebels, feisty and bossy. 'Atrangi Re' is no different. Rinku is not an easy person to be around which perhaps makes her more attractive for the opposite sex. But the problem in 'Atrangi Re' lies in its treatment of mental health and symptoms related to the various diseases. One of the main characters in the film has symptoms of schizophrenia and instead of treating it with sensitivity, it almost makes it comical, making the writers appear tone-deaf about issues related to mental illness. At one point in the film, Vishu and his psychiatrist friend Madhukar (Ashish Verma) are shown seated in a small theatre packed with people, aimlessly clapping at Sara Ali Khan who is on stage supposedly aiding Kumar in performing magic tricks. When Vishu asks his friend who are the people in the audience, Madhukar replies 'they are my patients, all suffering from some ailment like Alzheimer, dementia etc. They will surely clap without questioning much.'The scene may infuriate mental health practitioners. It's is quite cringe-worthy to be fair. That's not all, the absurdities lie in the entire story. How is Rinku allowed to stay with Vishu for days at his college hostel? Why does Vishu and his friends- all final year medic students- indulge Rinku and her whims so much? So many plot points remain sketchy throughout 'Atrangi Re'. That has been a problem in several of Rais films. They trivialize issues or glorify them in the name of true love or unintentionally (I hope) end up offending a certain section of society.

'Atrangi Re' review: Dhanush is the star of this indulgent love story

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="28">Actor Dhanush has earned the coveted Best Actor award at the renowned <strong>BRICS Film Festival</strong> for his portrayal in '<strong>Asuran</strong>.'</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="33">Dhanush is an Indian actor, producer, director, writer, lyricist, dancer, and playback singer who works mostly in the Tamil film industry and occasionally in Hindi cinema.</p>

<br />
Another such film, '<strong>Jai Bhim</strong>' was so good that it got better ratings than some of biggest Hollywood movies on Internet Movie Database (IMDb) portal.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/indian-film-jai-bhim-beats-the-shawshank-redemption-to-become-top-rated-on-imdb-429436"><strong>Also read | Indian film 'Jai Bhim' beats 'The Shawshank Redemption' to become top-rated on IMDb</strong></a><br />
<br />
The success of such reality-based and content-driven South Indian films raise the question: <strong>Where does Hindi cinema fit into the picture?</strong></p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="36">Hindi cinema is frequently referred to as Indian cinema by the Indian and international media and film historians.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="37">However, regional cinema, particularly the South Indian film industry, has its own set of languages, customs, and rich cinematic history.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="38">South Indian films, both in terms of quantity and quality, can compete with any in the world.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="39">The Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada language industries have been producing remarkably wonderful films that are far superior to Hindi films.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-from-init="true" data-paragraphid="54">Many blockbusters have been released in the northern territories, ranging from "<strong>Ek Duje Ke Liye</strong>" to "<a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-baahubali-2-gets-100-percent-rating-on-rotten-tomatoes-makes-it-on-their-best-film-list-28501"><strong>Baahubali.</strong></a>"</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="40">Earlier, South Indian films have been criticised for their superstar worship and larger-than-life representations of their heroes.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="41">Extremely humorous and physics-defying action sequences have provided plenty of fodder for memes on social media.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="42">But things have changed for the better now. Over the years, particularly with the dubbing of films in northern Indian languages on TV channels, and later through online streaming with subtitles, the Indian movie industry is evolving-and becoming truly universal-at a breakneck pace.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="43">The quality of the content is always increasing and meets, if not exceeds, global standards. One might assume that the juggernaut that is the Hindi film business is causing this development.&nbsp;That, however, is no longer the case.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="44">While we've recently seen a number of Hindi films that have been praised for their excellent performances, storylines, and technical perfection, it's the South Indian regional films that are currently at the forefront of this shift.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="45">Somewhere along the line, Hindi cinema in general has gotten stuck in a rut.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="46">The biggest production houses seem to be playing it safe and sticking to the same old formula of song, dance, and romance, in the same way that they neglect to push the envelope when it comes to creativity and novelty.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="47">This mantle has clearly been taken over by storytellers and film-makers in Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kochi.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="48">Not only are films coming out of these regional industries making waves in their particular regions, but also overseas and even inspiring the Hindi film industry to remake them. More often than not, it is the Hindi industry that is now remaking southern movies, rather than the other way around.&nbsp;Some of the biggest hits over the years, from <strong>'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' to 'Drishyam'</strong> , were remakes of southern films.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="49">The multiplicity of genres that the Southern film industry is experimenting with is truly remarkable. From the epic storytelling of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/baahubali-becomes-the-first-no-english-film-to-screen-at-royal-albert-hall-receives-a-standing-ovation-257239">'<strong>Baahubali</strong>,</a>' the superhit sci-fi '<strong>Robot/Enthiran</strong>'&nbsp;to the experimental anthology '<strong>Super Deluxe</strong>' and the various thriller experiments that we have witnessed in Malayalam, the message is quite clear.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="50">'<strong>Rocketry: The Nambi Effect</strong>,' a forthcoming biographical drama film, is another excellent example of how Southern movies no longer depend on formulaic approaches to film-making and are poised to challenge international standards on a regular basis.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="51">The same cannot be said of Hindi cinema anymore. Audiences are struggling to tell the latest Salman Khan or Akshay Kumar movies apart from their previous ones, because they have become formulaic and predictable. One can also argue that the proliferation of remix songs is a testimony to the lack of originality plaguing Hindi cinema in the music department.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="52">In many cases, South Indian actors are prepared to leave their high-profile, A-list reputations and play downtrodden or raw characters. Look at any character played by Vijay Sethupathi&nbsp; (he is adept at playing hero and villain, and in '<strong>Super Deluxe</strong>', essayed the role of a transgender) in Tamil or Dulquar Salman in Malayalam (in '<strong>Kurup</strong>', he donned the role of one of the most evasive fugitives in India), and you will know what I mean.</p>

<p data-changed="false" data-paragraphid="53">The upcoming years of Indian Cinema will be game-changing, with the rapid rise of OTT platforms (which allow for easy global reach) and the creation of South Indian films in various languages, including Hindi.<br />

Also read | Indian film 'Jai Bhim' beats 'The Shawshank Redemption' to become top-rated on IMDb The success of such reality-based and content-driven South Indian films raise the question: Where does Hindi cinema fit into the picture? Hindi cinema is frequently referred to as Indian cinema by the Indian and international media and film historians. However, regional cinema, particularly the South Indian film industry, has its own set of languages, customs, and rich cinematic history. South Indian films, both in terms of quantity and quality, can compete with any in the world. The Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada language industries have been producing remarkably wonderful films that are far superior to Hindi films. Many blockbusters have been released in the northern territories, ranging from "Ek Duje Ke Liye" to "Baahubali." Earlier, South Indian films have been criticised for their superstar worship and larger-than-life representations of their heroes. Extremely humorous and physics-defying action sequences have provided plenty of fodder for memes on social media. But things have changed for the better now. Over the years, particularly with the dubbing of films in northern Indian languages on TV channels, and later through online streaming with subtitles, the Indian movie industry is evolving-and becoming truly universal-at a breakneck pace. The quality of the content is always increasing and meets, if not exceeds, global standards. One might assume that the juggernaut that is the Hindi film business is causing this development. That, however, is no longer the case. While we've recently seen a number of Hindi films that have been praised for their excellent performances, storylines, and technical perfection, it's the South Indian regional films that are currently at the forefront of this shift. Somewhere along the line, Hindi cinema in general has gotten stuck in a rut. The biggest production houses seem to be playing it safe and sticking to the same old formula of song, dance, and romance, in the same way that they neglect to push the envelope when it comes to creativity and novelty. This mantle has clearly been taken over by storytellers and film-makers in Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kochi. Not only are films coming out of these regional industries making waves in their particular regions, but also overseas and even inspiring the Hindi film industry to remake them. More often than not, it is the Hindi industry that is now remaking southern movies, rather than the other way around. Some of the biggest hits over the years, from 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' to 'Drishyam' , were remakes of southern films. The multiplicity of genres that the Southern film industry is experimenting with is truly remarkable. From the epic storytelling of 'Baahubali,' the superhit sci-fi 'Robot/Enthiran' to the experimental anthology 'Super Deluxe' and the various thriller experiments that we have witnessed in Malayalam, the message is quite clear. 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect,' a forthcoming biographical drama film, is another excellent example of how Southern movies no longer depend on formulaic approaches to film-making and are poised to challenge international standards on a regular basis. The same cannot be said of Hindi cinema anymore. Audiences are struggling to tell the latest Salman Khan or Akshay Kumar movies apart from their previous ones, because they have become formulaic and predictable. One can also argue that the proliferation of remix songs is a testimony to the lack of originality plaguing Hindi cinema in the music department. In many cases, South Indian actors are prepared to leave their high-profile, A-list reputations and play downtrodden or raw characters. Look at any character played by Vijay Sethupathi (he is adept at playing hero and villain, and in 'Super Deluxe', essayed the role of a transgender) in Tamil or Dulquar Salman in Malayalam (in 'Kurup', he donned the role of one of the most evasive fugitives in India), and you will know what I mean. The upcoming years of Indian Cinema will be game-changing, with the rapid rise of OTT platforms (which allow for easy global reach) and the creation of South Indian films in various languages, including Hindi.

67th National Film Awards ceremony: Kangana Ranaut shares pic with fellow winner Dhanush

<p>The Madras High Court has lashed out at actor Dhanush for having sought Entry tax exemption on a Rolls Royce car that he had imported in 2015. The Court questioned the rationale behind super-rich actors importing ultra-luxury cars and seeking tax exemption, while the common man pays taxes on everything from fuel to soap, without seeking any exemption. This case bears resemblance to that of actor Joseph Vijay who had been called “anti-national’ by the Court for having sought tax exemption on his imported Rolls Royce. Like Vijay had done in his petition, Dhanush too hadn’t revealed his occupation before the Court.</p>

<p><br />
It is understood that the Commercial taxes department had asked Dhanush to pay Entry tax amounting to Rs.60.66lakhs, against which the actor had approached the Court for an exemption in 2015. Back then, the Court had instructed the Regional Transport Office to permit registration of the vehicle, on receipt of 50% of the Entry tax. Later, following the actor’s submission that Rs.30.33lakhs had been paid, the Court permitted the registration of the vehicle as per rules and regulations. Since then, the writ petition has been pending.</p>

<p><br />
When this case came up for hearing before Justice S.M. Subramaniam on Thursday, he said that actors are entitled to buy even helicopters, but they have to pay taxes. He also added that Actors maybe entitled to file cases against tax demand, but they must have paid taxes in full, immediately after the Supreme Court settled the issue a couple of years ago. He also urged actors to act as responsible citizens, rather than continuing to ply their cars on roads laid with public money(taxes), without themselves paying taxes in full.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
When the Dhanush’s counsel informed that the actor was willing to pay the taxes in full and sought permission to withdraw the plea the judge refused, as the matter was pending since 2015. The Judge also made a mention of the Vexatious Litigations, where a case is filed without any serious purpose or meaning(to abuse the Judicial process). He said that cases of this kind prevented the Court from allotting time to genuine cases and issues.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
In 2020, actor Rajinikanth (who is also Dhanush’s father-in-law) had approached the Madras High Court over a Property Tax demand by the Chennai Civic Body. The issue pertains to a Property tax demand of Rs.6.5 lakhs made by the Greater Chennai Corporation for the months April-September on the Raghavendra Marriage hall, which the actor owns.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
His counsel had stated that once the pandemic broke out and lockdown restrictions were imposed by Central and State Government, Rajini’s marrige hall had remained vacant and was not rented out since March 24th.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
It was mentioned that the actor had cancelled all bookings at the marriage hall after March 24th (Lockdown 1) and even refunded the advance money in line with government instructions. The actor stated that he was entitled to vacancy remission and that he had sent a notice in this regard to the Corporation on September 23rd and that there was no reply.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
When the Court warned Rajini of imposing costs(fine), Rajini tweeted out that he could have avoided a mistake and reached out to the Chennai Corportation over a Property Tax dispute, rather than approaching the Madras High Court.</p>
