In an impressive opening day feat, Yami Gautam’s latest film “Article 370” soared at the box office with a robust collection of ₹5.7 crore. Directed by National Award-winner Aditya Suhas Jambhale, the film, which also stars Arun Govil and Priyamani in significant roles, capitalizes on the momentum of its controversial subject matter—the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the political thriller registered an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 42.8 percent on its release day, February 23rd. The city of Jaipur led the charge with the highest Hindi occupancy numbers, closely followed by Pune, Delhi-NCR, and Chennai. The ticket sales were undoubtedly bolstered by special discounts offered at most theaters, which likely played a pivotal role in the film’s strong financial showing.

Yami Gautam portrays an intelligence officer in the film, delivering a performance that navigates through the complex and politically charged event of Article 370’s revocation, which stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its special status. This narrative is set against the backdrop of the upcoming General Elections, further fueling public interest in the film’s storyline.

The film clashed at the box office with Vidyut Jammwal’s action-packed “Crakk,” which features Nora Fatehi and Arjun Rampal and collected ₹4 crore on its first day. However, “Article 370” managed to outperform “Crakk,” albeit by a small margin. Even more impressive is the fact that “Article 370’s” opening day figures nearly matched those of Shahid Kapoor’s recent release “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,” which earned ₹6.7 crore on its debut and has since grossed ₹66 crore in India.

This political drama brings to mind other similarly themed films, such as “The Kashmir Files,” which opened at ₹3.5 crore, and Aditya Dhar’s “Uri: The Surgical Strike,” which raked in ₹8.2 crore on its opening day and ultimately amassed over ₹350 crore worldwide. Both films were propelled to success by positive word-of-mouth, and early reviews suggest that “Article 370” may follow a similar trajectory, potentially gaining traction over the coming weekend.

Yami Gautam’s previous cinematic outings include starring roles in the Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi-starrer “OMG 2,” which collected over ₹150 crore in India, and Netflix’s hit Indian original “Chor Nikal ke Bhaga” opposite Sunny Kaushal.

The film’s release has sparked discussions about its political stance. In an interview with the Indian Express, director Aditya Jambhale addressed criticisms labeling the film as “agenda-driven,” stating that he doesn’t concern himself with those who have made up their minds without even watching the movie. He suggests that the true agenda exists in the heads of the critics.

Audience reactions in Jammu have been particularly noteworthy, with moviegoers expressing excitement to see the depiction of Article 370’s abrogation and its impact on the region. Fans in Guwahati echoed this sentiment, prioritizing the film over other commitments, including exams, in anticipation of a truthful representation of events.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has commented on “Article 370” during a rally in Jammu, highlighting the significance of the film and its subject matter.

As the film continues its theatrical run, it stands as a testament to the power of cinema to reflect and perhaps influence the socio-political discourse. “Article 370” not only entertains but also invites its audience to engage with a pivotal chapter in India’s recent history.

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, this action thriller with a touch of black comedy marks Rajinikanth‘s comeback after a two-year hiatus since his last appearance in “Annaatthe” in 2021. The film, slated for release on August 10th, is expected to make a grand opening at the box office, particularly in Tamil Nadu.

As the release of “Jailer” draws near, exciting rumors about the film have begun circulating. One such rumor suggests that Rajinikanth’s remuneration for the film amounts to a staggering 110 crores. Considering the actor’s previous fees of over 100 crores per film, this news seems believable. Additionally, it has been revealed that the total budget of “Jailer” is a whopping 225 crores. By calculating these figures, it becomes apparent that Rajinikanth’s fee accounts for a significant portion, approximately 48.88%, of the film’s overall cost.

In the recently released showcase of “Jailer,” Rajinikanth, also known as “Tiger” Muthuval Pandian, exudes a fierce and no-nonsense persona. Portraying a veteran policeman whose son goes missing, he stops at nothing to find his child and eliminates anyone who poses a threat to his family. Alongside Rajinikanth, the film boasts a star-studded cast including Jackie Shroff, Mohanlal, Ramya Krishnan, Tamannaah Bhatia, and others.

With Rajinikanth’s long-awaited return to the silver screen, fans are anticipating the film’s release with great excitement. Packed cinema halls, milk-bathed posters, firecrackers, and more are expected to accompany the film’s arrival. To elevate the fan fervor, offices in Chennai and Bengaluru have declared a holiday on August 10th, the day of “Jailer’s” release. Furthermore, some companies have even provided free tickets to their employees to prevent them from resorting to pirated content.

Last week, the makers of “Jailer” unveiled the film’s trailer, showcasing Rajinikanth’s character “Tiger” Muthuvel Pandian in two distinct avatars. The trailer highlighted the protagonist’s role as a father of a police officer and revealed his relentless battle against villainous forces using swords and guns. Jackie Shroff, in a never-before-seen avatar, described Rajinikanth’s character with an impactful dialogue, stating, “You have only seen him as a father of a policeman, but I’m familiar with his other face that you are not aware of.”

Helmed by director Nelson Dilipkumar, “Jailer” promises to be an action-packed entertainer, boasting a stellar ensemble cast that includes Priyanka Mohan, Shiva Rajkumar, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Vasanth Ravi, and Vinayakan. Furthermore, Malayalam actor Mohanlal has been roped in for an extended cameo in the film.

Adding to the excitement surrounding “Jailer,” Tamannaah’s song “Kaavaalaa” has also gone viral among fans, further fueling anticipation for the film’s release.

If you are a fan of Nawazuddin Siddique, the versatile and talented actor who has starred in many critically acclaimed movies and web series, you might be wondering what is going on with his personal life. Well, buckle up because it’s a roller coaster ride of drama, scandal and controversy.

It all started in 2017, when Nawazuddin’s wife Aaliya filed for divorce, accusing him of infidelity, domestic violence and neglect. She also claimed that he had an affair with his co-star Niharika Singh, who later confirmed the relationship in a tell-all interview. Nawazuddin denied the allegations and said that he was a victim of a media trial.

The divorce case dragged on for three years, during which Nawazuddin and Aaliya exchanged several accusations and counter-accusations through their lawyers and social media. In 2020, Aaliya changed her name to Anjana Kishor Pandey and accused Nawazuddin’s brother Shamas of molesting her. Shamas denied the charge and filed a defamation case against her.

In a surprising twist, in 2021, Aaliya withdrew her divorce petition and said that she wanted to reconcile with Nawazuddin. She said that she realized her mistake and that Nawazuddin was a good husband and father. She also apologized to him and his family for the trouble she caused.

However, Nawazuddin was not ready to forgive and forget. He said that he was not interested in patching up with Aaliya and that he wanted to focus on his career and children. He also said that he was hurt by her allegations and that he did not trust her anymore.

So, what will happen next? Will Nawazuddin and Aaliya ever get back together? Will they settle their differences amicably or continue to fight in court? Will Nawazuddin find love again with someone else? Only time will tell.

But one thing is for sure: Nawazuddin Siddique’s domestic crisis is more entertaining than some of his movies.
