Ic 814 Controversy: Bollywood, recognized as the world’s largest film industry, has historically served as a vibrant reflection of India’s diverse cultures and narratives. In recent years, a disturbing trend of Hinduphobia has surfaced in mainstream cinema, sparking concerns within the Hindu community about the negative portrayal of their religion and cultural practices. This growing issue has led to increased scrutiny of how Hindu beliefs are depicted on the big screen. This article delves into the implications of these portrayals, particularly focusing on recent controversies that highlight a perceived bias against Hinduism in Bollywood films.

The portrayal of Hindu culture in a negative light is not a novel issue in Bollywood, but its frequency and intensity appear to have escalated in recent years.

Bollywood has witnessed several iconic makeovers that left a lasting impact on both the audience and the industry. Here are a few standout transformations:
Amitabh Bachchan - Paa (2009)
– Amitabh Bachchan’s transformation into a 12-year-old boy suffering from progeria was groundbreaking. His appearance as “Auro,” complete with prosthetics and a childlike demeanor, set a new benchmark for character transformations in Bollywood.
Priyanka Chopra - Barfi! (2012)
– Priyanka Chopra’s portrayal of an autistic woman in *Barfi!* was both subtle and stunning. She underwent an intense physical transformation, adapting a childlike innocence and a softer, more vulnerable look, completely different from her glamorous roles.
Ranveer Singh - Padmaavat (2018)
– Ranveer Singh’s drastic makeover for his role as the ruthless Sultan Alauddin Khilji was a major highlight of *Padmaavat*. From long, unkempt hair to a rugged, menacing look, his transformation reflected the villainy of the character.

Vicky Kaushal, shared poignant memories of his father Sham Kaushal’s struggles in an interview. Vicky revealed that his father, now a renowned action director, faced severe hardships in Punjab before moving to Mumbai in 1978. Despite having a Master’s degree in English literature, Sham Kaushal was jobless and once even contemplated suicide. Concerned for his well-being, Vicky’s grandfather sent Sham to Mumbai with a friend.
In Mumbai, Sham was prepared to take up any job, including working as a sweeper, to survive. His perseverance eventually led him to work as a stuntman, and in 1990, he got his big break as an independent action director with the Malayalam film “Indrajaalam.”
Reflecting on his own career choices, Vicky mentioned that while his parents were pleased with the idea of him securing a stable job after studying engineering and landing a job offer, he felt that a conventional 9-5 job would depress him.

Prabhas continues to spread his magic in North America as Kalki 2898 Ad adds new feathers to its cap.

The advance booking commenced in North American markets much before they began in India.

Nag Ashwin’s “Kalki 2898 Ad” has garnered significant attention, not only for its impressive cast—featuring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan—but also for its rich visual and thematic elements. Released on June 27, the film has sparked numerous discussions online, especially regarding its influences and standout scenes.
One scene, in particular, has resonated with many viewers. Deepika Padukone’s character, Sum-80, aka Sumathi, who is pregnant, walks through fire in a desperate bid to escape. This imagery has led to intriguing comparisons with Daenerys Targaryen, aka Khaleesi, from “Game of Thrones.” In the iconic scene from the episode “Fire and Blood,” Daenerys walks into a fire with her dragon eggs and emerges unscathed. Fans quickly drew parallels, with some even dubbing Deepika as “Khaleesi.”

Filmmakers in Malaysia are predicting more arrests and criminal investigations if the government pushes through proposed guidelines to the country’s censorship system and expands the remit of the Film Censorship Board (Lfp).
Malaysia has in recent years gained itself an intolerant reputation after numerous bans or restrictions on Hollywood and Asian films that have been widely released elsewhere. These have included Pixar’s “Buzz Lightyear” and Marvel’s “Thor: love and Thunder,” apparently due to their LGBT subplots or characters, and 2017 Indian blockbuster “Padmaavat” on religious grounds.
But the Freedom Film Network says that by expanding film censorship the government is undermining the development of the local, Malaysian, film industry that authorities proclaim to support.
“Filmmaking is now a dangerous vocation in Malaysia and far from the internationally competitive industry the Prime Minister imagines,” the organization said this week in an open letter. “With the new Lpf guidelines we...

For two years in a row, Deepika Padukone has kickstarted India’s box office with a bang: In 2023, the acclaimed actor and producer reunited with her Om Shanti Om co-star Shah Rukh Khan for espionage actioner Pathaan, which went on to take $76 million in India and crossed the $100 million global box office milestone without a China release. This year Padukone starred in Viacom/Marflix’s Hindi aviation actioner Fighter (from Pathaan director Siddharth Anand), which grossed $43 million globally in just 30 days.
“Of course, the success of a movie is important, and box office is important, and the awards and accolades are important, but for me, as a person, the time I’ve had with people and the experiences I have on the set of a film are the most important,” Padukone says.

Ranveer Singh and Karisma Kapoor radiate sheer adorableness in the pictures shared by the actress on her Instagram post last Thursday. Karisma donned black attire while Ranveer sported white for the event, creating a delightful contrast. These delightful snapshots were taken at event of a store launch in Mumbai, where the actors are captured happily posing together. Karisma Kapoor captioned the post, “Painted the town blue at the opening of the new Tiffany & Co store with my favorite Ranveer Singh,” accompanied by the hashtags #TiffanyAndCo and #AboutLastNight.
Ranveer Singh, who also serves as Tiffany & Co’s brand ambassador, graced the red carpet in a creation by designer Gaurav Gupta. However, it was his white-heeled shoes by Copper Mallet that stole the spotlight at the event.

Back in 2019, on a visit to Los Angeles, celebrated Indian director Sanjay Leela Bhansali stopped in at the offices of Netflix. In his informal five-minute meeting with CEO Ted Sarandos, Bhansali pitched an idea — it would be an opulent tale of warring courtesans set amid India’s struggle for independence. Sarandos greenlit the project on the spot.
Now Bhansali’s Hindi-language series, “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,” is making its U.S. debut (episodes dropped on May 1). Spanning 1920 through 1947, the lavish story is set in the Heeramandi district of Lahore, British India, the milieu of the tawaifs. As with the geisha of Japan, tawaifs were trained in music and dance and courted by nobility. At the show’s center are Mallikajaan (Manisha Koirala), the scheming queen of Heeramandi, and her vindictive niece Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha), who has ambitions to take her aunt’s place.
The project’s development took somewhat longer than that Netflix visit.

As with any time I try to explain a massive figure in Indian film to the uninitiated, the temptation rises quickly to compare director Sanjay Leela Bhansali to someone in Hollywood.
And, as with any time I actually make these comparisons, everything falls short. Bhansali depicts spectacle evocative of the work of Baz Luhrmann, but even that is a pale imitation (no disrespect to either). There is no one literally anywhere in the world creating cinema with the scale and grandeur that Bhansali has cultivated as his signature, a style so distinct that his own peers pay homage to it while he’s still alive and working.
But at the top of IndieWire’s conversation about Bhansali’s career, he’s quick to shake the larger-than-life visual splendor of his creations, emphasizing — as writer, director and producer, among his many hats — that the stories themselves evoke that scope.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut web show, “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,” is indeed the biggest phenomenon eagerly awaited by the masses.

A day after his deepfake video went viral on the internet, criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi over unemployment and inflation, actor Ranveer Singh has reacted to it, saying, ”deepfake se bacho dostonnnn”.
An AI-generated video of the ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ actor shows him endorsing the Congress for the Lok Sabha polls.
The video is originally from the actor’s recent visit to Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, along with Kriti Sanon for Manish Malhotra’s fashion show at Namo Ghat.
In the deepfake video, we can hear Ranveer’s altered voice, saying, “Modi ji ka purpose yahi hai, unka uddesh yahi tha ki wo celebrate kare hamara dukhi jeevan, hamari berozgaari, or hamari mehengai ko. Kyunki jo bharatvarsh hai wo anyay kaal ki taraf aise badh rahe hain, itni speed se badh rahe hain, lekin hame hamare vikas or nyay ko maangna kabhi nahi bhoolna chahiye.”

Heeramandi Trailer Out: Sanjay Leela Bhansali Breaks His Usual Mould Of Dreamy Tales(Photo Credit – Youtube)
What does a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film mean? A dreamy world, a dreamier story, and poetic shots. The epitome of feminine beauty, grace blended in intricately chosen words and delicately created music. But what happens when Bhansali breaks his mold? He tries to enter reality, and he decides to do this with his Netflix web series, Heeramandi.
Created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, this web series tells the story of a courtesan mohalla that finds its residents in Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, Sonakshi Singa, Richa Chaddha & Sanjeeda Sheikh.
The 3 minutes 12 seconds trailer immediately pulls you in with its magnetic charm of the courtesan galleries, dances, decked-up actresses being called Mujrewaalis and ruling the Nawabs Fardeen Khan, Adhyayan Suman, Shekhar Suman, and others who are the clients of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.

Netflix has unveiled a spectacular trailer for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s series “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.”
The series is set in Heeramandi, Lahore, British India, where Mallikajaan (Manisha Koirala) rules over an elite house of courtesans. She schemes, fearing no one — until the return of her late nemesis’ daughter, Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha), brings tensions in the house to a boil. Outside, the city is also roiling, with revolutionaries demanding India’s freedom from British rule, with Bibbojaan (Aditi Rao Hydari), one of Mallikajaan’s daughters, joining the fight for freedom. Meanwhile, Mallikajaan’s youngest, Alamzeb (Sharmin Segal), dreams of love with the son of a nobleman, Tajdar (Taha Shah Badussha), and yearns to break out of Heeramandi. As betrayal mounts and forbidden desires clash with societal norms, the struggle for pre-independent India’s freedom comes to a boiling point.

Designer duo Rimple and Harpreet Narula, who started their tryst costume making in 2018 with the magnum opus ‘Padmaavat’, have made over 300 spectacular ensembles in a span of two years for filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali yet again for his debut series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’.
Keeping in mind the theme, the designers had to work upon the “historical backdrop and location” for the series to make the outfits.
Harpreet told an entertainment portal: “It’s set in pre-partition India, specifically in the undivided Punjab region, with a focus on Lahore. This resonates deeply with us because my family comes from Gujranwala in Punjab, so I’ve grown up hearing stories about that time from my grandparents and aunts.”

Actors Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth have reportedly tied-the-knot secretly in a temple in Wanaparthy, Telangana. According to reports, the two got married in a quiet ceremony but have not made any official announcement yet.
The two actors reportedly got married on Wednesday morning at the Sri Ranganayakaswamy Temple in Warnapathy’s Srirangapur in Telangana.
Many regional news portals have carried reports confirming the news.
The actors began dating after working on the 2021 film ‘Maha Samudram’. However, the two always kept their relationship away from the public eye.
It was earlier this year, when the ‘Wazir’ actress took to social media to confirm their relationship.
Aditi made her film debut in 2006 with the Malayalam film ‘Prajapathi’, after which she starred in movies such as ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’, ‘Rockstar’, ‘Wazir’ and ‘Padmaavat’. She will next be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’.
Aditi was first reported to be married to Satyadeep Mishra.

Bollywood couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are said to be expecting their first child. The actress is reportedly in her second trimester. A couple of days back, there was a wave of speculation about her pregnancy as she was seen hiding her midriff at the recently concluded 77th edition of the BAFTA Awards.
This is not the first time, however, that Deepika has been the subject of pregnancy rumours.
Not long ago, the actress had shared pictures from promotions of her latest release, ‘Fighter’, and fans went into a frenzy over whether or not she had a baby bump. Many took to the comments section to ask is she was pregnant.
Deepika and Ranveer, who first worked together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2013 film ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’ and reportedly fell in love on the sets of the film, tied the knot on November 14, 2018, at Lake Como, Italy.

Highest Grossing Bollywood Films In Pakistan (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)
It was a series of surprises at the box office when India’s favorite subject, the India Vs Pakistan war, started witnessing a decline. Two superstar releases – Fighter and Tiger 3 were based on the rivalry of the two nations and their armies, and while in a previous decade, this would have been enough to rake moolahs at the box office, both the films seemingly point at the audience’s disinterest in the subject.
However, the topic worked in Gadar 2‘s favor, but it was a common man fighting in Pakistan rather than the armies, and probably that worked. This might be just an observation. However, these films were strongly rejected by not only Pakistan but also many Gulf countries.

New Delhi, Feb 4 (Ians) The Indian diaspora spread all over the world has mostly stayed connected to its roots. And one of the institutions that keeps this connection alive is Indian cinema. These films could be in Hindi or in any of the South Indian languages.
The Indian film market is spread far and wide, but Indian films also have to conform to the local culture and sensibilities, mainly of the religious kind. We do not make films that are against any other country or its culture, but when it comes to religious sentiments, considering the mixed population we have, Indian films feature characters from different religious backgrounds. Yet, Indian films cannot always please all people.
Almost all countries exhibiting films have their own censorship bodies. It is also not uncommon for them to occasionally ban films from theatrical release. The reason could be a vulgarity, nudity or religious sentiments being hurt.

Fighter Box Office Collection: Deepika Padukone’s One Of The Biggest Week One (Photo Credit – Facebook/IMDb)
Within 12 months, Deepika Padukone now has two of her films in her biggest first week ever. Last year, her Pathaan had gone past Happy New Year (her best till then) by a distance as it more than doubled its first-week score.
In fact, at that time, her Top three films were pretty much aligned with each other by hardly a few lakhs, differentiating Happy New Year, Padmaavat, and Chennai Express, with each of these three films in the vicinity of 150 crores.
Then came 2023, and the year was a different beast altogether for big films as more than 300 crores started to accumulate at ease in the first week itself. Pathaan started it all, and while Jawan and Animal followed that up as well, one waits to see which of the 2024 releases manages to do in months to come.

Fighter Box Office Day 2 Vs 26 January Collections ( Photo Credit – YouTube; IMDb )
Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s Fighter had a thunderous roar on the second day of release at the box office. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the action-drama collected almost 41.20 crore on January 26, a National Holiday. However, the advance booking did not ensure such a massive number.
But the mood of the nation for this war film was witnessed clearly with a massive jump from the opening day. The film opened at 24.60 crore on day one and jumped by almost 67% on day 2, which was a National Holiday.
The word of mouth for the film, which was brilliant, also pushed the numbers on the second day. The opening day for Fighter was lukewarm, but if taken into consideration the fact that it was a working day, the gaze for the film’s earnings definitely changed.

Fighter Box Office Collection Day 1 Vs Last 10 Republic Day Releases (Picture Credit: IMDb)
Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s Fighter opened at the box office, and it did not perform as expected. The two main reasons might be the cold wave throughout the north and the day of release being a working day. The film was collected in the range of 21 – 22 crore on the opening day.
However, Dp and Hrithik’s opening at the box office has earned fairly well if compared to the last 10 Republic Day releases in the last seven years. From 2015 to 2023, 11 films were released in this period of 8 years.
Except for Pathaan, which starred Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone and released on Republic Day weekend, 2023, most of the other films have faired decently or poorly. Only a few have managed to earn in the same range as Fighter’s opening-day collection.

Ranveer Singh Replaces Shah Rukh Khan For The 4th Time In Rajinikanth’s Thalaivar 171
Speculations have been rife that after Shah Rukh Khan turned down Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film with Rajinikanth, called Thalaivar 171, the Leo director has approached Ranveer Singh for the extended cameo which surprisingly leaves us with a very valid question – Has Ranveer become Srk’s replacement in the industry?
Well, definitely, he was Salman Khan’s replacement earlier, as he replaced Bhai in Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat as well. The Gunday actor even replaced Ranbir Kapoor in Dil Dhadakne Do, and while he has been the go-to actor for the past few years, his success has definitely been a testimony to the fact that these replacements have not gone wrong.
According to a Pinkvilla report, while Shah Rukh Khan was approached by Lokesh Kanagaraj for an extended cameo in Rajinikanth’s upcoming film, Srk politely passed the offer.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan & Salman Khan’s Cumulative Box Office Collection: A Hypothetical 526.67 Crore Loss ( Photo Credit – Instagram; IMDb )
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan, together, were a fairy tale with the saddest ending. When they first came on screen together, they were the oh-so-perfect pair. People smiled at them and cried with them. Moreover, when they turned their chemistry real, everyone was spellbound, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, since he did it way before Karan Johar started doing it and announcing it – making people fall in love.
As Salman and Aish fell in love on the sets of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Bhansali did not waste time and immediately planned two more films with them. There was also a third one, which Salman Khan was keen on doing. However, plans are made to be ruined mostly. So did this plan as well!

Ranveer Singh’s Day 1 At The Box Office With Band Baaja Baaraat Was Terrible!
It has been 13 years since Bollywood witnessed a boy who was unbelievably convincing and impressively natural on the big screen. He was what he was. One could not love him, but one could not even ignore him. He was the most ordinary-looking boy, who was just one Bhansali away from becoming a superstar! Ranveer Singh.
The Mumbai boy made his debut 13 years ago on December 10, 2010, with Yash Raj Films’ Band Baaja Baaraat opposite Anushka Sharma. Helmed by Maneesh Sharma, this film earned its success rightfully and well-deservingly.
On the first day, the film could not manage to cross even 1 crore as the opening! Yes, you read that right. Ranveer Singh’s opening day of his career at the Box Office was disastrous. Band Baaja Baaraat collected 0.95 crore on day 1, and no one hoped for a miracle...
