Bollywood seems to be the flavour in the United Kingdom. After the strong bond of love and togetherness between the yesteryears’ matinee idol Dharmendra and his sons Sunny and Bobby Deol swept cinegoers in UK off their feet over the past weeks, it’s the turn of ‘Naqab’, being promoted as the best thriller from the [...]

Three films released a week ago with different storylines have grossed impressive collections in India and abroad, spiking the belief that multiple releases on a single day spell doom for one another. Trade magazines had their fingers crossed about the success of the Deol starrer “Apne”, the romantic-thriller “Aap Kaa Surroor” besides “Awarapan”, dealing with [...]

Himesh Reshammiya’s Aap Kaa Surroor has got the biggest opening of the year at the box office. The critics had panned the film and wrote it off, but the moviegoers had something else in mind. AKS beat down Awarapan and Apne at the box office by getting a bumper opening in the first 3 days. [...]

 The small-budget films that Bollywood churned out this year were the ones that raked in the money at the box office, not the much-hyped big releases, the industry’s half yearly report card reveals. The report, which is an eye opener of sorts, says that only six of the 50 films released were declared hits and [...]

It was a toss up between “Sivaji: The Boss” and “Jhoom Barabar Jhoom”, and the choice was clear.

The [...]

Small-budget, character-based movies are finally making big bucks in the overseas market and the credit for the trend goes to “Life in a …Metro”. Buoyed by word of mouth, Anurag Basu’s film about flippant relationships in a big city has found takers in the US and Britain. It has earned $144,169 in the US and [...]

Bollywood’s hope of recreating last year’s box office successes has taken a big blow in 2007, with collections of only $5.8 million in the first six months compared to $135 million in 2006. Unlike 2006, which rode on a slew of hits like “Rang De Basanti”, “Don”, “Dhoom:2″ and “Lage Raho Munnabhai” – three of [...]

Imagine being served five varied flavored biryani as you perch on the seat for supper! What does one feast on?

The heat is on. As the mercury soars, Hollywood and Bollywood are trying to make hay with the third instalment of “Pirates of the Caribbean” and Yash Raj Films’ forthcoming release “Jhoom Barabar Jhoom” during the extended holiday period in India before a dull phase sets in. Summer has traditionally been a good season for [...]
