Laal Singh Chaddha Review: Here Is What Public Has To Say

Mumbai, August 11 - Aamir Khan returns to the big screen after almost 4 years with comedy drama Laal Singh Chaddha, which has been released in theaters today. The Advait Chandan-directed film is the official remake of Tom Hanks's classic Hollywood blockbuster, Forrest Gump (1994). ## Laal Singh Chaddha follows the events in India's history unfold through the perspective of Laal Singh Chaddha (Aamir Khan), a dim-witted man who has a great understanding of emotions. Ahmad Ibn Umar plays Young Laal in the movie that also stars Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya (in his Hindi film debut), and Mona Singh in key roles. ## The movie had its premiere yesterday night for the film fraternity and media people. Have a look at what they have to say about the film. ## #OneWordReview...#LaalSinghChaddha: DISAPPOINTS.Rating: ⭐️⭐️#AamirKhan’s comeback vehicle #LSC runs out of fuel midway… Lacks a captivating screenplay to enthrall you [second half goes downhill]… Has some terrific moments, but lacks fire in totality. #LaalSinghChaddhaReview pic.twitter.com/rTuYfJT629— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) August 11, 2022 ## #AamirKhan's passion is visible in every frame of #LaalSinghChaddha.

Allu Arjun's Brand Value Reaches All-Time High

Hyderabad, August 10 - Allu Arjun, whose Pan-India popularity is going up with each passing day post the blockbuster success of Pushpa - The Rise, is witnessing top brands lining up to sign him to endorse them. As reported earlier, Allu Arjun is on a roll with nearly a dozen of commercial ads for popular brands. ## It is an undeniable fact that Allu Arjun's reach in North India has witnessed a massive rise after Pushpa and this has also helped his brand value to reach an all-time high. After the natonwide impact the film made, some of the biggest brands signed the AVPL actor across categories ranging from F&B, FMCG, and travel and lifestyle. ## According to the latest reports, the new Pan Indian sensation has hiked his fees to endorse brands and now, reportedly charges 7.5 crores per day. He recently shot for Astral, while he is already a face for brands like Coco-Cola, KFC, Red Bus, and Zomato. ## Meanwhile, it is not that Allu Arjun is going after everything coming his way. The actor is keeping up with his principles and is not endorsing something in which he never believed. It is said that he has denied 10 crores worth of offers from gutka and liquor brands. ## On the work front, the superstar will soon start filming Pushpa - The Rise, which will be the continuation of the first part. Directed by Sukumar, the movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil in prominent roles while talks to cast a couple of other actors are also on. It will have a grand Pan India release in the second half of 2023. ## Stay tuned...

Opening Day Box Office Prediction For Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' and Akshay Kumar-Fronted 'Raksha Bandhan'

Mumbai, August 10 - There is a lot depending on the upcoming two Bollywood biggies - Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan, as far as the box office is concerned. It would have been nice if they have got a solo release, but that is not happening as both the movies are releasing on August 11. ## Laal Singh Chaddha, which stars superstar Aamir Khan in the title role, is the biggest movie this month and the industry is expecting it to perform according to the reputation it is carrying. However, the advance booking trend is saying something else which might have forced the industry to lower their expectations, at least for the opening day. ## It would have been a huge surprise to see an Aamir Khan's film not able to pick in advance sales. However, things have changed post-pandemic as the trend of box office openings post-pandemic has largely been on the lower side. Irrespective of the star power, Bollywood films haven't been able to take the big opening except for Akshay Kumar's, Sooryavanshi, which opened to over 26 crores on Diwali 2021. ## Laal Singh Chaddha, which has so far grossed approx. 3.50 crores in advance sales, is looking to open around 12-13 crores. The movie will depend on word of mouth, and we are expecting it to be positive which might push the film to around 15 crores net start. The 15 crores opening is not at all good by the standard Aamir has set, but the industry should take it in a positive way as it is having a clash with another big film, that too under current circumstances. ## On the other hand, Akshay Kumar-fronted, Raksha Bandhan is not really dependent upon the advance booking trend and will largely rely on spot bookings. The makers have promised the revive the family drama genre with this Anand L Rai-directorial and the inside reports are also super positive. ## Raksha Bandhan, which is having a perfect Holiday release, matching the vibes of the Raksha Bandhan festival, is very much on track to open around Akshay Kumar's last film, Samrat Prithviraj. Going by the advance booking, the 8-9 crores opening is a sure shot, but we are expecting it to have a better spot booking, which, hopefully, will help the film to open around 10-11 crores net. ## The best thing for both the movies is that they have a long holiday weekend ahead. So, if the critics' reviews and word of mouth is positive, both LSC and RB have all the potential to grow over the weekend, which is likely to happen. In combination, the Bollywood industry can expect 23-25 crores against its overestimated 30 crores net. ## Stay tuned...

New Predator Film 'Prey' Sets All-Time Record Viewership On Hulu

Los Angeles, August 10 - 20th Century Studios' new film in the Predator franchise, Prey debuted directly on Disney's Hulu platform in the United States on August 5. Being a film of the blockbuster franchise, many wondered why 20th Century and Disney didn't open the movie in cinemas exclusively. ## While there is no reason given by the studio, the movie has taken the streaming platform, Hulu by storm. On Tuesday, Disney revealed (via The Hollywood Reporter) that the film scored the No. 1 premiere on Hulu to date, including all film and TV series debuts. ## Additionally, the pic was the most watched film premiere on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ under the Star banner in all other territories, based on hours watched in the first three days of its release, however, Disney did not reveal the viewing hours. ## The development of the film, Prey, began during the production of The Predator (2018), when producer John Davis was approached by Trachtenberg and Aison, with a concept that they had been developing since 2016. The movie was always in production for direct streaming release. ## THR report says that Disney believes that sending the movie straight to Hulu — which, like other streamers, is competing to become a destination for original content — was a smart decision, and it's impossible to say whether Prey would have benefited from a theatrical release. The veteran Hollywood box office analysts also believe that it was a good move from Disney to send the movie on Hulu. ## Stay tuned...

Chennai, August 10 - Tamil star Karthi is busy promoting his upcoming rural family drama film, Viruman, which is produced by his brother Suriya under the banner of 2D Entertainment.

Rashmika Mandanna Opens Up On Her Relationship With Vijay Deverakonda

Hyderabad, August 10 - The heartbeat of millions of fans, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are one of the most loved on-screen pairs and have acted in two superhit films - Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, together. Such has been their chemistry that rumors started making rounds that they are in a relationship. ## Rashmika has often spoken about her bonding with Vijay D but still, people keep on enquiring about the same. During a recent media interaction (vis greatandhra), Rashmika was again asked to comment on her relationship with the actor. ## She said, "Sometimes, I am like 'Arrey yaar (Oh dear), I am doing five films a year, but you are still coming and asking me, 'Who are you dating? What is your personal life?' But I understand that we are actors, and the light is on us, with people wanting to know more about you".## "It has been the case since the beginning of my career... Who is she seeing, or okay, she is with this person? Actors are in the limelight, you can talk about it, but when it comes to me, I would like to tell them to not jump to conclusions unless and until I say it in my own words," the news daily quoted Rashmika saying".## The actress concluded by saying, "You (people) can talk s**t about us, you can say negative things about it. Because in the end, we are public figures. We can't choose just the good bits, thinking people just focus on work and not personal life. So, they are free to talk about anything, just don't come to a conclusion. Till the time you hear from me, that is not true".## Meanwhile, on the work front, Rashmika is busy with multiple films presently and hardly has time to think about other things. She will soon begin the filming of, Pushpa The Rule, which gave her a Pan India recognition. She also has Thalapathy Vijay's, Varisu, along with Hindi films, Good Bye, and Mission Majnu. ## Stay tuned...

Alia Bhatt's 'Darlings' Scores 10.21 Million Viewing Hours In The Opening Weekend

Mumbai, August 10 - Actress Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi was a massive hit on Netflix despite being a non-direct OTT release. It scored approx. 55 million viewing hours, becoming one of the most-watched Indian films on the streamer. ## With the solid backing of Gangubai Kathiawadi, the actress and producer's dark comedy Darlings opted for a direct digital release via Netflix, however, it failed to create the same magic as GB this time around. The Jasmeet K Reen-directed film scored 10.21 million viewing hours in the first three days and landed at number 4 among the most-watched non-English films worldwide during the week of August 1 - August 7.## Interestingly, Gangubai Kathiawadi, which was a non-direct Netflix release, had scored 13.8 million viewing hours in the first three days on the streamer and landed at number 1 in the first weekend worldwide. Darlings is unlikely to match Gangubai's viewing numbers as the reviews are mixed as compared to the super positive response to Gangubai. ## Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Eternal Sunshine Productions, Darlings has been trending in the top 10 in 16 countries, including at number 1 in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and UAE. The movie also stars Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma, and Roshan Mathew in the lead roles. ## Meanwhile, SS Rajamouli's RRR (Hindi) is still trending in the top 10 non-English films worldwide despite completing 12 weeks on Netflix. On its 12th weekend, the movie was watched for 2.55 million hours, which is extraordinary. It has so far scored approx. 70 million viewing hours on Netflix. ## Stay tuned...

'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' Confirms Christmas 2024 Release Date

Los Angeles, August 9 - Paramount Pictures has had great success with its video game adaptation Sonic films, and now, the studio is gearing up for another film in the series. ## Paramount announced the third installment of Sonic in February this year, much before the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The studio has now confirmed its release date as the iconic blue speedster will be hitting theaters on December 20, 2024. ## The first two Sonic films grossed over $720 million worldwide, which is massive for the film franchise as movies adapted from video games tend to bomb at the box office. 2020s Sonic the Hedgehog grossed over $319 million worldwide while its sequel which came out in April of this year went on to gross over 402 million. ## Sonic the Hedgehog 2 opened to a huge $72.1 million in a major boost for the domestic (North American) box office recovery. It scored the biggest opening weekend of all time for a video game adaptation, beating the first Sonic, and was also Paramount's biggest three-day opening since 2014.## Sonic 3, meanwhile, will have tough competition at the box office as James Cameron's mega movie, Avatar 3, will also be hitting theaters around the same time. The cast of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 includes James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Shemar Moore, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Lee Majdoub, and Idris Elba.## Running faster, flying higher, and punching harder. #SonicMovie3 hits theatres on December 20, 2024. pic.twitter.com/DcFGbaKUao— Sonic the Hedgehog (@SonicMovie) August 9, 2022 ## Stay tuned...

Filmmakers Are Making OTT A Challange To Cinema, Says Aamir Khan

Mumbai, August 8 - Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who is gearing up for the release of his most-awaited comedy-drama film Laal Singh Chaddha, said that the digital platforms are not a challenge to big screen cinema but the filmmakers are making it a challenge to the cinema. ## Aamir was recently in Chennai for the promotions of Laal Singh Chaddha. During an interview with Galatta, the superstar spoke about what the Indian film industry needs to do to save cinema. It is a well-known fact that Aamir is a huge ambassador of big screens cinema and his upcoming movie is also designed for the big screen only. ## During the covid-19 pandemic, many films opted for a short theatrical window which has largely backfired. Aamir said that the industry must understand that to save cinema, there must be a bigger gap between theatrical release and OTT premiere. ## The actor went on to say that the industry is not putting effort to bring the audiences to the theaters by keeping a short theatrical window. He said that when a movie will come to OTT within 4 weeks, how can filmmakers expect the audience to come to theaters to watch movies. ## Adding further, the PK actor said that the industry should give a clear choice to the audience that if they want to watch the film on OTT then they have to wait for 6 months. Making a valid point, Aamir said that if the movie is good and being appreciated, then the audience will feel that they should not miss it if the theater window is 6 months. ## For economical and time reasons, films can't come on OTT so fast. If they do, cinema will stand no chance. It's in our hands, we have to decide. My film won't come to OTT for 6 months. Either watch my film in the theater or wait for 6 months, he added.## Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha also stars Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya (in his Hindi film debut), and Mona Singh. It is scheduled to release on August 11 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.## Stay tuned...
