Indian professor compares Lollywood vs Bollywood response to communal riots

Lollywood

Following the Jaranwala riots, where a Christian neighbourhood faced destruction due to blasphemy allegations and ensuing violence, numerous Pakistani celebrities and public figures swiftly criticized the authorities for their failure to control the situation. They called for immediate action against the perpetrators. Ashok Swain, UNESCO International Water Cooperation chairperson and Uppsala University professor, pointed out the contrast between Lollywood condemning communal riots and ethnic violence against minorities, and the notable silence among Bollywood figures regarding rising hate crimes against minorities.

Swain tweeted, “Pakistani film stars have spine. Indian film stars only know how to count money.”

In the wake of these events, Lollywood celebs and other prominent figures like Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, Mahira Khan, and Azekah Daniels expressed their condemnation of the injustice faced by the Christian community in Pakistan. Chinoy, a two-time Oscar winner, utilized her Instagram stories to criticize what she deemed as hypocritical behaviour among Pakistanis. She mentioned how they swiftly respond when the Holy Quran is threatened, yet remain silent when churches are targeted by mobs.

Singer Shae Gill, who is Christian, expressed speechlessness at the incident and hoped for increased awareness to put an end to such atrocities.

Conversely, Bollywood celebrities have been called out for promoting communal violence and Islamophobia through their films. Instances include Akshay Kumar’s film “Sooryavanshi” promoting Islamophobia and Shah Rukh Khan being labelled a “terrorist” by BJP politicians. Additionally, Shah Rukh Khan’s film’s music video faced backlash due to baseless “Love Jihad” theories, which claimed that Muslim men seduce Hindu women to convert them to Islam.

While this doesn’t imply that cinema in Pakistan is inherently progressive, the power of public figures using their platforms to educate the masses about sensitive issues is crucial in combating growing communal violence and hatred.

Manushi Chillar reveals being an outsider Comes with sense of pride

Manushi Chillar

Manushi Chillar made her Bollywood debut in the movie “Samrat Prithviraj” (2022) alongside Akshay Kumar, but unfortunately, the film didn’t perform well at the box office. Despite this setback, Chillar remains optimistic and considers herself fortunate for the opportunity. She acknowledges that being an outsider in the industry brings its own challenges and differences.

According to Chillar, “Being an outsider comes with a sense of pride and believing in yourself. That’s because when you explore something absolutely new in your life, it builds a certain innate confidence that cannot be done if you keep exploring familiar shores.”

While her first film may not have succeeded, the 26-year-old is eagerly looking forward to her upcoming projects such as “The Great Indian Family,” “Tehran,” and “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.” She recognizes that being an outsider in the industry poses challenges, but she believes that the excitement of the journey outweighs the difficulties.

Chillar’s journey into the glamour world began with a beauty pageant, through which she ultimately became Miss World. Winning an international pageant provided her with a substantial platform and exposure. However, she notes the distinctions between the world of pageantry and acting. She remarks, “At the same time, it’s (acting) is a very different field than being in a beauty pageant. There are many good things that Miss World adds, but at the end of the day, you’re an outsider, and you have to start your journey and understand the whole industry from level zero and grow from there.”

Fame has brought its own challenges, particularly in adapting to the newfound public attention. Coming from a reserved student life, dealing with extensive public scrutiny has been an adjustment for Chillar, especially given her relatively young age.

Chillar initially studied medicine, but she chose to pursue acting instead of a medical career. She has no regrets about her choices and is content with how her life has unfolded. While her first passion remains in healthcare, she believes that there are alternative ways to contribute to the healthcare system without being a doctor.

Akshay Kumar Receives Indian Citizenship, Shares News On Twitter

Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar has acquired Indian citizenship, showcasing evidence of the change through official government documents shared on his Twitter account. Prior to this, Akshay held Canadian citizenship, a fact that drew criticism from certain segments. On Twitter, he presented a document listing his name as Akshay Hariom Bhatia, accompanied by a message: “Dil aur citizenship, dono Hindustani. Happy Independence Day! Jai Hind.” His followers congratulated him and extended Independence Day wishes.

He asserted, “Possessing a Canadian passport doesn’t diminish my Indianness. I remain very much Indian. I’ve been here for the past nine years since obtaining the passport. I won’t delve into reasons, the ‘whys,’ what happened, my films weren’t succeeding, and so on — well, that’s okay.”

“Yes, I mentioned it in 2019, I initiated the process. But then the pandemic emerged. For 2-2.5 years, everything came to a halt due to the pandemic. The renunciation letter has now arrived (and) soon my new passport will arrive as well.” He humorously added, “What can I do, I’m not responsible for the pandemic.” Despite the challenging climate, Akshay’s recent release, “OMG 2,” alongside Pankaj Tripathi, has performed well at the box office, even against competition like “Gadar 2.”

Yami Gautam Addresses Talent Marketing In Bollywood

Yami Gautam

Yami Gautam is basking in the success of her recent film OMG 2. When a fan complimented her performance in the movie and labelled her as ‘under-utilised’ in the industry, Yami responded with a note expressing her candid views about the industry’s prevalent dependence on ‘marketing.’ She also highlighted that her focus lies on the ‘depth of the script.’ Yami portrays the role of a lawyer in the film.

The interaction ensued when a fan took to a social media platform to applaud Yami Gautam’s acting in OMG 2. In response, Yami wrote, “Some individuals achieve success overnight, while others persistently prove themselves over years. Some excel at promoting their talent (or lack of it), while others let their talent speak for itself. As an actor, I am skilled at performing and investing significant effort into identifying substantial scripts and versatile characters; that is my talent. I do not fully comprehend or actively engage in marketing my abilities.”

“Unfortunately, for a considerable part of our industry, success hinges upon marketing individuals or projects, rather than the depth of a script or character. Perhaps this is why people perceive me as under-utilised. Regardless, I am truly grateful, Aavishkar, for your kind words. They are genuinely inspiring. I will reach my destination eventually, gradually but steadfastly, one film at a time.”

OMG 2, directed by Umesh Shukla, follows the 2012 film OMG – Oh My God, starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. Directed by Amit Rai, OMG 2 features Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi. The movie garnered ₹10.26 crore on its first day of release and ₹15.30 crore on its second day, accumulating a total of ₹25.56 crore thus far.

Yami made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with “Vicky Donor.” Since then, she has appeared in various films such as “Total Siyappa,” “Action Jackson,” “Badlapur,” “Sanam Re,” “Kaabil,” “Uri: The Surgical Strike,” “Bala,” and “Lost.”

Abhishek Bachchan Reflects On Future ‘Dhoom 4’ Project

Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan recently shared his thoughts on the potential for a Dhoom 4 film in an interview.

During the interview, Abhishek expressed his desire to return to the action genre after exploring experimental roles in films like Dasvi and Bob Biswas. He also discussed the prospects of another instalment in the Dhoom series. Speaking openly, the Housefull 3 actor stated to India Today: “I would love [to do an action film]. It just so happened, the last two years were so busy. I have made like 5-6 movies in the last two years.”

When asked about the possibility of Dhoom 4, Abhishek disclosed that he hasn’t heard any plans for it so far. He mentioned that if Aditya Chopra, the film’s producer, had intentions for such a project, he would have informed him. The actor maintained a neutral stance, neither confirming nor dismissing the possibility of the new film.

“I don’t have any information about it. If ‘Dhoom 4’ was being made, Adi [Chopra] would have told us. I can’t confirm or deny it but I am pretty sure I would have been told if he is making one,” he remarked.

At the beginning of 2023, after the success of Pathaan, rumours circulated that Yash Raj Films was considering reviving the Dhoom franchise, with Akshay Kumar in the lead role and John Abraham as the antagonist. However, YRF dismissed these rumours, according to sources.

With Abhishek Bachchan’s statement, it becomes evident that there are no immediate plans for such a project.

As anticipation builds, “OMG 2″ is slated for release in theaters on August 11th.

Akshay Kumar’s Film: 3200 Advance Bookings

Akshay Kumar's
  • OMG 2, featuring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi, and Yami Gautam, is all set to hit theaters on August 11, 2023.
  • OMG 2 has secured 3200 advance bookings in three major national chains – PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis.
  • Additionally, MovieMax chain added another 100 bookings, bringing the total to 3300 tickets.

After overcoming behind-the-scenes drama with the censor board, Amit Rai’s much-awaited OMG 2, featuring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi, and Yami Gautam, is all set to hit the theaters on August 11, 2023. The film’s advance bookings opened recently, and the initial response has surpassed expectations, thanks to a well-cut teaser and the franchise’s popularity, driving the movement in national chains.

As of Thursday, 10 PM, OMG 2 has secured 3200 advance bookings in three major national chains – PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis. Additionally, MovieMax chain added another 100 bookings, bringing the total to 3300 tickets. Although these numbers might seem modest compared to past blockbusters like Gadar, they are promising enough to ensure a decent initial box-office performance. Earlier concerns about OMG 2 following the fate of Selfiee have been eased by the positive trend in advance bookings, indicating a much stronger opening day performance than Selfiee. The film’s ultimate goal is to approach the success of its predecessor, Oh My God, or even surpass it in the long run.

The word-of-mouth response will be crucial for OMG 2’s success beyond the opening day. While it may not directly compete with Gadar, the film will aim to match or exceed the performance of Oh My God. The release strategy for OMG 2 is focused on multiplexes, with an estimated 1500 screens to showcase the movie.

Expectations are high for OMG 2 to achieve its biggest day since its release on August 15. Such a milestone would indicate a positive reception from the target audience, making it a successful venture for Akshay Kumar and the team. The advance booking movement has been more promising compared to Akshay Kumar’s recent films, and a consistent trend is projected to drive ticket sales in the range of 35,000 to 45,000 across the three major chains. Maintaining momentum over the next few days leading to the release will be crucial.

The true trajectory of OMG 2’s performance will unfold in the coming days, but the initial response has already piqued the interest of moviegoers.

Box Office Clash: Sunny Deol on Gadar 2 vs. OMG 2 Faceoff

Sunny Deol
  • Gearing up for a monumental box office clash, two highly anticipated films, “Gadar 2” starring Sunny Deol.
  • “OMG 2” featuring Akshay Kumar, is set to hit theaters on the same day, August 11.
  • Both movies are sequels to previously successful films, promising an intense battle for audience attention.

Gearing up for a monumental box office clash, two highly anticipated films, “Gadar 2” starring Sunny Deol and “OMG 2” featuring Akshay Kumar, are set to hit theaters on the same day, August 11. Both movies are sequels to previously successful films, promising an intense battle for audience attention. In a recent conversation, Sunny Deol shared his thoughts on the impending clash, reminiscing about a similar situation when “Gadar” clashed with “Lagaan” back in 2001.

During an interview with Times of India, Sunny Deol was asked about his feelings regarding the box office clash. Reflecting on the past clash with “Lagaan,” he emphasized that there should be no comparisons between films, especially in terms of business and likability. He recalled how “Gadar” performed exceptionally well, crossing the 100 crore mark, while “Lagaan” didn’t achieve the same level of success. Despite initial perceptions that “Gadar” was a typical masala film with old-style songs, it went on to become a beloved people’s film. In contrast, “Lagaan” was considered a classic, but the so-called film critics had initially criticized “Gadar.” However, it won over the hearts of the audience, proving its worth.

Sunny Deol further stated that comparisons between films, even when they are vastly different in nature, seem to be inevitable in the industry. He stressed that such comparisons should not be made, as every film has its own unique appeal and should be judged accordingly. He cited his own experiences with clashes between his films, such as “Ghayal” and “Dil,” pointing out that the quality and essence of each film should be appreciated individually.

Moving on to the films in question, “Gadar 2” serves as the sequel to the blockbuster hit “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” one of Hindi cinema’s biggest successes. The period action film has been helmed and produced by Anil Sharma, with Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma reprising their roles from the original.

On the other hand, “OMG 2” takes the form of a comedy-drama and serves as the spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit “OMG – Oh My God,” with Akshay Kumar playing the role of Lord Shiva, supported by Pankaj Tripathi portraying his devoted disciple and Yami Gautam Dhar.

As the release date approaches, fans and industry insiders eagerly anticipate the box office showdown between “Gadar 2” and “OMG 2,” each film carrying its own unique appeal and potential to win over the audience. Only time will tell which movie emerges victorious in this highly-anticipated clash at the ticket counters.
