Smartest move of the year? Maddock Films' decision to delay Chhaava by 2 months and avoid a clash with Pushpa 2: “Both films would have lost out on Rs. 150 to 200 crores of business”

At one point, Chhaava was all set to release on December 6 and thereby clash with Pushpa 2. The trade experts thanked Maddock Films for averting the clash and releasing their film more than two months later, on February 14. They feel that both films would not have done such blockbuster business had they been released on the same day. Moreover, the negativity surrounding the epic clash between Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is still fresh in everyone’s minds. Many felt that the clash of the titans, that took place during November 2024, was easily avoidable and would have further benefited both these biggies. Coming back to Chhaava, trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “It’s good that they avoided the clash with Pushpa 2. It would have harmed both films. Both Pushpa 2 and Chhaava would not have realized their true potential.” Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst agreed, “Releasing Chhaava with Pushpa 2 would have been a hara-kiri. If it had happened, the industry would hav...

In the note, she said, “If your boyfriend/husband ever says anything disrespectful to you, tell him to write it down on a piece of paper, get in his car, drive and deliver it to his mother, or simply hand it to his daughter. If he can’t say it to his mother or doesn’t want another man to one day say it to his dau...

Trade experts and consumers SLAM PVR for showing ads for 25 minutes, misleading claims about Public Service Announcement ads: “Theatres need to make money and pay the bills. But showing so many ads FRUSTRATES the viewers”

The moviegoing experience at one point was cheaper and far more pleasant. The tickets used to be sold at reasonable prices and shows used to start dot on time as mentioned on the printed ticket, or 5 or at the maximum, 10 minutes late. With the advent of multiplexes, especially PVR cinemas, a new trend began – the shows began commencing 15 minutes late. Many had reservations about this idea but accepted it. Some perennial latecomers even hailed this strategy as they could now finally see a film from the beginning. But soon, PVR began to stretch this window further. Since a few years, it has been common to see films starting 20 and even 25 minutes late. It angered every section of the viewer, including the late lateefs. Hence, the recent ruling by the Bangalore (Urban) District Consumer Commission was welcomed with open arms. A patron complained that his Sam Bahadur show at PVR, Orion Mall, Bengaluru started 25 minutes late, leading to massive inconvenience in his work life. The consum...

Trade experts SLAM the Buy-One-Ticket-Get-One-Free offer: “Its charm has faded; picture dhang ki banao, aur yeh drama kam karo. Ek-pe-ek offer se Myntra chalta hai, cinema nahin!”

Post-pandemic, the trend of Buy-One-Ticket-Get-One-Free or BOGO has become quite common. While some filmmakers and distributors wait for a few weeks before implementing the offer, there are times when producers have made the offer available within a few days of release. It happened with Fateh and Deva last month. The recently-released film Mere Husband Ki Biwi meanwhile had the BOGO offer on the day of its release. Despite such an enticing offer, all these films didn’t work. There’s also a perception that a film is not up to the mark and hence, these offers are being implemented. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, said that the offer appealed to the patrons when it began with Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023) but now, it has lost its sheen, “If you do something over and over again, the charm fades.” He thundered, “Kuch aur karo ab. Why BOGO; why not give tickets for free? Or else, give money to patrons for watching the film. That might help!” On a serious note, he...

Tillotama Shome on signing Paatal Lok Season 2, "It was a fairly easy decision a few minutes into reading the script"

Tillotama Shome played the character of senior cop Meghna Barua in the second season of Amazon Prime Video’s much acclaimed show Paatal Lok. She spoke about the show and her reason for signing the same in an interview with us. I know you are very picky. So, what made you decide to be part of Paatal Lok’s Season 2? It was fairly easy to make a decision to play the cop Meghna Barua a few minutes into reading the script by Sudip Sharma. The script was so dense and there were so many threads. It was exhilarating to see how each thread got woven into the other. Besides, I am a fan of season 1 and it was a dream to be asked to join a team that I had heard only good things about. From Avinash Arun, the director and cinematographer, to Naren and Benedict’s music, this is a dream team. I am so grateful that I got to journey with them. What according to you makes Paatal Lok stand apart from the other series that swamp the OTT platform? I can only share something about t...

Mere Husband Ki Biwi director Mudassar Aziz on the clash with Vicky Kaushal; says, “What the film does in the presence or absence of Chhaava isn’t in my control”

Mere Husband Ki Biwi takes you down the rib-tickling route again. How difficult is comedy? It’s always very, very tricky to try the rib-tickling route sir. Humour is a very personally varied emotion. Comedies rarely bring its makers their due credit, but I stick to it to see smiles on faces perhaps! Your Pati Patni Aur Woh was also a love triangle. Are you fascinated by that format? I’ve never really thought that a triangle fascinates me. It’s just that the complicated nature or love and marital relationships in our fast changing world, makes me want to explore humour in its layers. These are dark times. Do you feel laughter is the best antidote? I agree with you 100%, Sir. The times are dark, emotionally stirring and even polarised the world over. I wish laughter would be the “cure” but I’ll live with calling it the medicine also. Audiences have begun to stay away from movie theatres. Does that scare you? Yes, Sir. It scares me. And it scares me on...

My eyes are not working?" He went o...

Starring Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar, the movie is a love triangle told in a comic way. Pednekar speaks about the movie and her experience of shooting it in an interview with us. Mere Husband Ki Biwi looks like a laugh riot. Did you have fun shooting it? Well, comedy is something that I enjoy thoroughly. I've done quite a few. Maybe the tone of Mere Husband Ki Biwi is a little different. But if I look at it, this is more social comedy with a more slice of life feel to it. Mere Husband Ki Biwi is definitely different. The tone is a little front-footed. And also, I have not done a comedy where I get the punchlines. I have not done a comedy where I get to do physical comedy, which was very, very refreshing. I feel that women usually don't get an opportunity to do that. So, it was extreme amounts of fun. And I really, re...
