  • Netflix’s Khel Khel Mein Receives High Praise

    Khel Khel Mein is a comedy drama film

    The 2024 comedy drama film Khel Khel Mein is out on Netflix. The film has been trending on Top 10 on Netflix for the last several weeks now. The film has received critical acclaim and praise from viewers who watched the film on the digital platform. But the film flopped at the box office when it was released theatrically.

    For Netflix (India), Khel Khel Mein is their most successful venture of 2024. It is on the edge to become one of the most watched films on the digital platform. But what’s so special about the film?

    Khel Khel Mein

    Khel Khel Mein is a comedy drama film involving a group of friends. It is a very entertaining and comic film. Khel Khel Mein is an official Hindi remake of the 2016 Italian film ‘Perfect Strangers’.

    Perfect Strangers is written and directed by David di Donatello. Perfect Strangers was a commercially successful film and received critical acclaim. It has been remade in a total of 28 languages including the Hindi remake titled Khel Khel Mein.

    Khel Khel Mein revolves around a group of friends who get to gather for a wedding in Jaipur. On one night they get to gather and play a game where all of the friends have to place their mobile phones on the dining table and every time there is a message, notification, or call the receiver has to share the details with other participants.

    Khel Khel Mein is a highly comedy film and quite enjoyable but it flopped at the box office.

    The film was released on 15th August 2024. Khel Khel Mein released with the drama film Vedaa and the horror comedy film Stree 2 on the release day. Stree 2 emerged as a mega blockbuster and the highest grossing Hindi film in India ever while Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa flopped.

    Khel Khel Mein was directed by Mudassar Aziz and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishnan Kumar, and Vipul D Shah. The film was shot in Mumbai, Udaipur and London.

    The film is reportedly made on a budget of 100 crores including fees of 20 crores for its lead actor Akshay Kumar. Khel Khel Mein earned over 55 crores in India in over a month. The film could have easily earned over 100 crores if it had been released a few weeks later and would have avoided the release with Stree 2 and Vedaa.

    Khel Khel Mein features an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal, Vaani Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Ammy Virk, and Pragya Jaiswal among others. You can watch the film on Netflix.

  • Trailer Review: Singham Again Is A Cringe Feast

    The film is slated to be released on 1st November during

    Popular Indian filmmaker Rohit Shetty is returning with another film in 2024. His last film came in 2021 with the Akshay Kumar led Sooryavanshi. His 2024 mega release is Singham Again starring Ajay Devgn in the title role as Bajirao Singham. It is the fifth installment of the Rohit Shetty Universe. The film is set to release worldwide on 1st November.

    The trailer of the film was released recently in a grand way. With an extent of 4.50 minutes is the longest trailer ever for an Indian movie. As was announced earlier and as seen in the trailer, the other two other actors from the Rohit Shetty Universe, Akshay Kumar as Sooryavanshi and Ranveer Singh as Sangram Bhalerao make an extended cameo appearance in the film. Rohit Shetty’s two new entrants from the his Universe, T Shroff and Deepika Padukone are introduced in Singham Again with an extended cameo appearance. Besides Ajay Devgn, Singham Again stars Kareena Kapoor Khan in the female lead and Arjun Kapoor as the main antagonist. The film also stars J Shroff, Ravi Kishan, and Dayanand Shetty in pivotal roles.

    Singham Again Trailer Review

    The trailer of Singham Again is 4.50 minutes which is quite frustrating. Every actor gets a lengthy introduction scene. The trailer is bursting with cringe dialogues and mindless stunt sequences. The entire film has CGI and VFX graphics.

    Singham Again might come as cringe to many. There are too many guest appearances and too many big stars featuring. And it doesn’t end here as one big superstar is set to make a guest appearance in the post-credit scenes of the film.

    Spoiler Alert: Entry of Chulbul Pandey

    It is indeed true. One of the biggest superstars of the nation Salman Khan is confirmed to make a guest appearance in the film. He will star and reprise his role of Chulbul Pandey from the Dabangg film franchise. Chulbul Pandey is the most iconic movie character in India. Rohit Shetty has often expressed his desire to introduce Chulbul Pandey in his Universe and this time he has done the unthinkable. It may be for a minute or two minutes but Salman Khan is confirmed to star as Chulbul Pandey in the post-credits scene of Singham Again.

    Salman Khan’s Dabanng was released in 2010 to widespread critical acclaim. The film emerged as a major commercial success with Dabangg becoming the biggest franchise. Salman Khan’s Dabangg character became an overnight sensation. It is still one of the most iconic characters in the history of Indian Cinema.

    Followed by Dabangg in 2010, Rohit Shetty brought Singham film in 2011. Singham was a remake of a Tamil film of the same name starring Suriya in the lead role. Besides Dabangg, Rohit Shetty’s Singham became another iconic character. And, today Rohit Shetty is combining both the franchise and brining both the iconic characters together.

    According to the sources, Rohit Shetty recently met Salman Khan on the sets of his upcoming film. It was a short discussion where the director seemed to have convinced Salman Khan to do a cameo in his film. Salman who shares a healthy and great equation with Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn could not refuse. The makers of Singham Again are yet to shoot the post-credit scene of Salman Khan with the film releasing in just 20 days.

    Singham Again vs Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

    Singham Again was earlier scheduled to be released on 15th August 2024 but got postponed due to post-production work. Later, the film was announced to release in November with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was announced to be released in November last year. But now with Singham Again coming in November things have got uglier and this will affect the business of both of the films. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is one of the most awaited films of the year.

    Singham Again is jointly produced by Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, and Jio Studios. Both the films Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are sure shot superhits. But with Salman Khan making a cameo in Singham Again, the makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 would be anxious. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has to be a massive entertaining comedy horror film to become a blockbuster.  While Singham Again is a certified blockbuster even if it receives mixed reviews.

    We predict Singham Again to earn over 300 crores in Hindi and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 to earn over 150 crores in Hindi. If released solo, Singham Again has a chance of earning more than 500 crores in Hindi, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will earn over 300 crores in Hindi.

    Singham Again is set to become the highest grossing film for Rohit Shetty by beating the lifetime collection of his previous films ‘Chennai Express’ and ‘Simmba’.

    Singham Again will release on Amazon Prime Video in January 2025.

    After Singham Again, the next film from Rohit Shetty Universe could be Sooryavanshi 2. But before Sooryavanshi 2, Rohit Shetty and his team would be making Golmaal 5.

  • Is This Akshay Kumar’s Comeback Film In 2024

    Akshay Kumar is struggling to give a big hit since 2022

    He is having the worst phase of his movie career

    Akshay Kumar is one of the biggest actors in India. But in shocking turns and events, his last few films have flopped badly at the box office. The films haven’t just flopped but also harmed his brand value and popularity with everyone wondering what’s next for him.

    Akshay Kumar made his debut in 1991 and delivered several box-office hits. But there was a time when he delivered ten consecutive flops at the box office.

    Akshay Kumar kept working hard and collaborated with Priyadarshan for a comedy film titled Hera Pheri. The film also starred Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty. Hera Pheri is considered one of the best films ever made in India and happened to be a turning point in Akshay Kumar’s life. From 2002 to 2012, Akshay Kumar starred in several comedy hits such as Hera Pheri, Phir Hera Pheri, Mujhse Shaadi Karongi, Hey Baby, Housefull 1, Housefull 2, Bhagam Bhag, Singh Is King, Welcome, Garam Masala, Awara Pagal Deewana, Namaste London, Bhool Bhulaiya, Desi Boyz and De Dana Dan.

    The actor had a great time by doing comedies but his career took off after 2012 and received widespread success until 2021. Between 2012-2021, he delivered consecutive box office successes such as Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore, OMG – Oh My God, Khiladi 786, Special 26, Boss, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara, Baby, Gabbar Is Back, Airlift, Housefull 3, Rustom, Jolly LLB 2, Toilet, Padman, 2.0 and Kesari.

    Akshay Kumar had his best year in 2019 when he delivered three major commercially successful films such as Mission Mangal, Housefull 4, and Good Newwz. However, his career saw a major decline and Akshay Kumar is presently having the worst phase of his film career.

    Post the 2021, Akshay Kumar starred in over ten films, and only one film of his performed well at the box office. In 2021, Akshay Kumar starred in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi, an stunt film from Rohit Shetty’s universe. Akshay Kumar opted to release his films Laxmi and Bell Bottom on OTT platforms. Both the films received mixed to negative reviews.

    Following the success of Sooryavanshi, Akshay Kumar had several major releases from 2022 to 2024 but unfortunately, all his films failed badly at the box office. The films include Bachchan Pandey, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Sethu, Selfiee, Mission Raniganj, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

    Akshay Kumar’s first release of 2024 was Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The film is directed by Sultan, TZH, and Bharat director Ali Abbas Zafar and also stars T Shroff and Prithviraj Sukumaran alongside Akshay Kumar. The high-octane stunt film was made on a budget of over 300 crores. But the film flopped miserably at the box office andd] didn’t even collect 100 crores.

    Now Akshay Kumar’s second and next release of 2024 is a film titled ‘Sarfira’.

Gopinath who founded a low-cast airline in India. Soorarai Pottru was released in 2020 on an OTT platform and received widespread critical acclaim. The film even won five awards at the 68th National Film Awards. The same director of Soorarai Pottru is directing the Hindi version titled Sarfira. Owning to the success of Soorarai Pottru and its story, Sarfira is expected to do well at the box office and might be Akshay Kumar’s comeback film. The trailer of Sarfira has been received well by the audience. However, the film somehow has to do at least 100 crore business in India to be considered a success.

    Post Sarfira, Akshay Kumar will star in the films Khel Khel Mein and Sky Force. Khel Khel Mein is an official remake of a 2016 Italian film called Perfect Strangers. Perfect Strangers is a comedy drama film that has been remade in over 20 languages.

Alongside, the film also stars Veer Pahariya, Nimrat Kaur, Sara Ali Khan, Sharad Khelkar, and Suniel Shetty. The film is shot in the USA, and India and is set to release on 2 October 2024.

    After Khel Khel Mein and Sky Force, Akshay Kumar will reprise his role of Sooryavanshi by making a special appearance in Rohit Shetty’s release Singham 3 from the universe. Akshay Kumar will also be seen doing a guest appearance in the Telugu fantasy film Kannappa.

Akshay Kumar is also expected to star in Hera Pheri 3 with Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty. Hera Pheri is one of the most awaited films in India. Upon its release and if well made, Hera Pheri could emerge as one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever and the most successful film for Akshay Kumar.

  • The Surprising Decline Of T Shroff

    The last many films of T Shroff have flopped

    He currently has no film in hand

    Jai Hemant Shroff popularly known as T Shroff is the son of noted film actor Jackie Shroff. T Shroff has been a popular face of Bollywood since his debut film. With no struggle, he has been fortunate enough to taste success in his early days of Bollywood. But presently, the actor is facing a massive fading in his movie career. T Shroff has to take accountability to stay relevant since every film of his can’t work only with stunts.

    T Shroff debuted in 2014 with Sajid Nadiadwala’s Heeropanti. The movie was also the debut film of actress Kriti Sanon. Heeropanti went on to become a massive commercial hit and became a massive film franchise for producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Sajid Nadiadwala went on to make Heeropanti 2 as well. For Heeropanti, T Shroff won several awards for the Best Debut Male 2014. T who is quite keen on bodybuilding, and stunt skills was praised in the movie. However, he was severely criticized for his acting performance and dialogue delivery.

    In 2016, T Shroff and Sajid Nadiadwala collaborate once again for another film titled Baaghi. The film starred Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead. Baaghi was another film for T Shroff where he displayed his outstanding stunt skills but was criticized for his acting performance. Though Baaghi was a major success and became another big film franchise for the makers.

    Post Baaghi, T Shroff had a bit of a struggle at the box office with flop films such as A Flying Jatt, Student of The Year 2, and Munna Michael. But then a fairy-tale kind of affair happened in his career. T was signed for Yash Raj Film’s massive film titled ‘W1’ which also starred Hrithik Roshan. Released in 2019, W1 became one of the highest-grossing Hindi films and the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2019.

    T Shroff once again collaborated with Sajid Nadiadwala in 2020 and released Baaghi 2. Though the film did pretty well business at the box office but the film received poor reviews from the critics. Baaghi 2 remains T Shroff’s last box office success till date.

    Now, the taste of Indian audience has changed. They want to see something new.

    In 2022, T Shroff went on to star in Heropanti 2 with Kriti Sanon and Sajid Nadiadwala as producers. The film was a massive flop for T Shroff and Sajid. They tasted their first flop film together and understood that the audience was looking for something new.

    After Heropanti 2, T Shroff and Kriti Sanon went on to star in Ganapath with the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan in a supporting role. Opened generally to negative reviews, Ganapath happened to be a big box office flop. Made on a budget of 190 crores, the film could not even manage to cross over 10 crores at the box office. The film was directed by Vikas Bahl and produced by Jackky Bhagnani.

    In 2024, T Shroff starred in Jackky Bhagnani’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The film also starred superstar Akshay Kumar in the lead.

    Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was also directed by Sultan and TZH director Ali Abbas Zafar. The expectations were high for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan since it was a large-scale film made on a budget of 350 crores. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was also considered as Akshay Kumar’s comeback film. Even he is witnessing a massive decline in his Bollywood career with continuous flops.

    With massive expectations, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was released on 11 April 2024. Opened generally to negative reviews, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan collected 15 crores on Day 1. By the end of its run at cinemas, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan could not even collect more than 80 crores in India and became a major flop for T Shroff.

    Post Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, critics have criticized T Shroff since he is repeating stunts in every film and there is no improvement in his acting and gripping story in his films. T Shroff has also been advised to reduce his fees by the critics. T who used to charge 25-30 crores per film has been suggested to take home 8-10 crores per film. He even has no films in the pipeline.

    Earlier Pathaan and W1 director Sidharth Anand had announced Rambo remake with T Shroff. The remake film was set to be directed by Rohit Dhawan and produced by Sidharth Anand. But post Ganapath and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, the makers are doubting T’s box office pull and reportedly Rambo has been shelved.

    Though T is set to play a cameo appearance in Rohit Shetty’s Singham 3. Rohit Shetty’s Singham 3 is another film of him from the universe. Ajay Devgn is the first actor in Rohit Shetty’s universe. Rohit later went on to feature Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh in the film Sooryavanshi and Simmba. In Singham 3, Rohit Shetty is introducing two new actors in his universe, and that is T Shroff and Deepika Padukone. Both the actors will play a cameo role in the film.

    The reports also suggest that T Shroff and popular filmmaker Karan Johar can collaborate on a large-scale film. T and Karan earlier collaborated for Student of the Year 2 which was a decent hit at the box office. While some reports also suggest that T Shroff is set to star opposite Sara Ali Khan in an film titled ‘Eagle’. Though there has been no official announcement yet.

    Besides a guest appearance in Singham 3, T Shroff has no films in their hands. The makers are doubting the film. However, one good film with an engaging story and screenplay can change to fate of T Shroff.
