Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's 'Stree 2' Shoot Begins With A Twist

Mumbai, July 11 - The much-awaited sequel to producer Dinesh Vijan's blockbuster horror-comedy "Stree" has commenced filming today in Chanderi. Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao return to reprise their roles along with Pankaj Tripti, Aparshakti Khurrana, and Abhishek Banerjee from the first movie. ## The makers announced the commencement of the shoot today with a twist in the plot of "Stree 2". While Stree, played by Flora Saini, brought chaos in the life of Chanderi's people, this time Stree will come to save them from the terror of a head-cutter as the villagers call for "O Stree, protect us".## Amar Kaushik returns to direct the sequel, produced by Vijan's Maddock Films. Raj & D.K., who wrote the screenplay of the first film, are not a part of the movie. The film is a part of Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe which kicked off with "Stree" (2018), followed by "Roohi" (2021) and "Bhediya" (2022). "Stree 2" will feature Varun Dhawan's cameo as Bhediya. ## It is said that the sequel will be heavy on VFX and the makers have collaborated with the same team which done the VFX of Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon's "Bhediya". The plans are to make "Stree 2" a bigger cinematic adventure than the first part which was itself hugely successful and got praise from critics.## "Stree 2" will release on August 31, 2024, worldwide.## Ek baar phir चंदेरी में फैला aatank !😱स्त्री २ filming begins!Aa rahi hai woh- August 2024!@ShraddhaKapoor @RajkummarRao #PankajTripathi @nowitsabhi @Aparshakti @amarkaushik #DineshVijan #JyotiDeshpande #NirenBhatt @sharadakarki #PoojaVijan @maddockfilms @jiostudios… pic.twitter.com/qhZyCBHdLh— Maddockfilms (@MaddockFilms) July 11, 2023 ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan's '72 Hoorain' Scores A Low Opening Weekend

Mumbai, July 10 - National-award winning filmmaker Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan's latest film "72 Hoorain" has had a low opening weekend at the box office as the movie could score approx. 1.25 crores net in three days. ## Starring Pavan Malhotra and Ameer Bashir in lead roles, "72 Hoorain" was hit by controversy even before its release as a section accused the makers of hurting religious sentiments through the movie. CBFC granted the movie 'A' certificate. ## Unlike "The Kerala Story", this kind of controversy failed to hype up "72 Hoorain" as the movie almost went unnoticed at the box office in the opening weekend. It took a low start and netted just 35 lacs, before scoring approx. 45 lacs each on Saturday and Sunday. ## Produced by Gulab Singh Tanwar, Ashoke Pandit, Kiran Dagar, and Anirudh Tanwar, the movie is unlikely to make a miraculous turnaround going forward as word of mouth is almost negligible due to extremely low footfalls in the first three days.## Stay tuned...

A pitch-perfect script backed by great performances — particularly from Ryan Gosling — turns what could be a simple studio comedy into a sharp commentary on our society that makes its nuance palatable for those that may not take it at face value. GG is 3/3. pic.twitter.com/MIVRtkmtbd— Eze (@EzeBaum) July 10, 2023 ## Greta Gerwig’s #Barbie is an ABSOLUTE marvel of a film. She is able to infuse this simple story with so much emotion, excitement, and comedy. Her style shines bright. Margot Robbie and gosling shine brighter then the sun, this is such a great movie. The hype is REAL. pic.twitter.com/Y6cPbT7nHS— brian long (@brianlo16160896) July 10, 2023 ## #Barbie REVIEW: Heartfelt & hilarious! Margot Robbie’s crown jewel performance (Oscars here we come). It’s super fun, endearing & magical with a 3rd act that’ll beach you off. This isn’t just another comedy, it’s Greta Gerwig’s BEST movie ever!! A fitting end setting what’s next pic.twitter.com/qXPM8gSiqs— Atom (@theatomreview) July 10, 2023 ## #Barbie is a cinematic triumph.

Margot Robbie delivers an endearing and memorable performance, though it’s Gosling who stole every scene he was in pic.twitter.com/IU9ZrbKlnq— Jack (@JStepback) July 10, 2023 ## #Barbie is perfection. Greta Gerwig delivers a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and laugh-out-loud funny romp. The entire cast shines, especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in roles they were clearly born to play. 🎀— Katcy Stephan (@katcystephan) July 10, 2023 ## No surprise - #Barbie is a knockout. As a comedy, it’s a total crowd pleaser - as an indictment of capitalistic feminism and urgent call to go ahead and eat our pets if trapped with them following a major earthquake it is devastating. Gosling steals the show - absolutely loved it— Ben Mekler (@benmekler) July 10, 2023 ## #Barbie WOW!!! Greta Gerwig really is one of a kind. One of the best things I’ve seen this year! The technical craft is so detailed and everyone gives a knock out performance. A staggering achievement (I just rewatched the trailer and did not see the movie)— The Film Drunk (@thefilmdrunk) July 10, 2023 ## #Barbie was a deeply cathartic experience. It’s about industrialization of art/iconography forming sensibility instead of individualism, and Greta tells it with so much joy and heart. I was cackling at Gosling’s himbo Ken one scene and bawling my eyes out at the next. A classic— ty (@DennisDuganFan) July 10, 2023 ## Stay tuned...

Makers' Huge Demand For 'Salaar' Theatrical Rights In Telugu States?

Hyderabad, July 9 - After shattering box office records with "KGF: Chapter 2" last year, director Prashanth Neel's next blockbuster "Salaar" with one of the biggest Indian superstars Prabhas is having huge anticipation as the release date getting nearer. ## The teaser of the movie was recently launched which has raised anticipation, not just among the fans, but also in the trade which is expecting the movie to do wonders at the box office. As the pre-release buzz has escalated, the makers of "Salaar" have reportedly started negotiating for the film's theatrical rights. ## As per the buzz in the Telugu trade, the makers are demanding as high as 190-200 crores for theatrical rights in the two Telugu states, including around 70 crores alone in the Nizam region. The asking price for the Ceded area is said to be around 35 crores while the same is around 90 crores in Andhra Pradesh, according to a report from Track Tollywood. ## The aforementioned quoted amount is in the lines of SS Rajamouli's "RRR" starring Jr. NTR and Ram Charan which the movie easily covered and gave the buyers huge profit. However, in the case of "Salaar", the buyers are reportedly hesitant as a couple of recent films of Prabhas didn't do the expected business and ended up as loss ventures in Telugu states. ## There is no doubt "Salaar" will take a huge opening nationwide as the combination of Prashanth Neel and Prabhas, backed by a reputed production house which is Hombale Films, is too big to go unnoticed. However, after facing back-to-back losses, the buyers might find it difficult to commit to the high demand for theatrical rights even though they are aware it is a big box office tentpole movie. ## As confirmed by the makers with the teaser itself, "Salaar" will be released in two parts with the first part, titled "Salaar Part 1 - Ceasefire", slated for September 28, 2023, release in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi languages. The makers will have an eye on the Hindi version which could generate huge profit if received well, just like "KGF" films. ## Stay tuned...

This takes the total net collection to 60.81 crores in 10 days.
