The fact that you said Assi and Dhurandhar in the same breath is good enough-Anubhav Sinha
3:01 PM
As Assi drops online, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha gets candid about its box office reception, making unpopular choices, and why he believes films like The Kerala Story and The Kashmir Files have a right to exist
Priyanka Sharma (MID-DAY; May 3, 2026)
Stationed at a city hotel, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha is busy recording long media interactions about his latest film, Assi. If one didn’t know better, the director’s enthusiasm would give the impression the film is about to release. But the Taapsee Pannu-starrer released two months ago, and began its streaming run last week. For Sinha, though, it feels like a re-release.
“The film dropped on Zee5 on Thursday night (April 17). Friday was a little quiet. So, I thought maybe OTT release is like this. But, Friday night onwards, it became viral — whether it was Instagram Reels or Whatsapps or DMs from filmmakers, friends, bichhde hue dost Mathura aur Jaipur se. So, for me, it’s feeling like a re-release,” he smiles.
Still, two months is a long time for a maker to observe the reactions that a film received during its theatrical run, agrees Sinha. “Largely, things that are said about the film are in appreciation. There are a slim percentage of people who find Kumud’s [Mishra] character, Kartik, to be an outsider to the story. But that’s all that I have heard as a critique. The other observation is that the film is very disturbing, which it was intended to be,” he says.
It feels the right time to register a feedback that one felt while watching the movie that works both as an investigation and an introspection centred around the rape of a school teacher (played by Kani Kusruti) in the capital. The feminist intent notwithstanding, the execution in parts feel preachy, we share with Sinha. The director replies, “I respect this observation and if I looked at the film from that viewpoint and it’s not absolutely unfounded.”
Sinha, consistently, has been among the voices in the industry who remain open to dialogue and dissent. So, we ask him how he views Pannu’s widely-discussed Instagram post, before Assi’s release, where she appealed to the audience to be louder in their support for films that aren’t cut from the cloth of mainstream. “You deserve good cinema only when you value it,” reads a sentence from her post. Doesn’t it put an unfair amount of responsibility on the audience, which is an outsider to the rooms that decide what gets made in the industry?
“The responsibility of the audience is directly proportional to the expectation of the audience. So, Tapsee is probably coming from a place where she very regularly hears that good cinema is not made. Even though, I don’t agree much with this because how do I assume my cinema is good? People will decide that. But Tapsee was probably trying to talk about real cinema, real stories. So, if the audience has expectations and demands from cinema, then it becomes your responsibility as well [to support it] because making such films is an unpopular choice. People have no idea what it takes to get these films off the ground,” he says.
But another argument arises that the audience merely reacts to the visual assets of a film or to a star, if it’s a star-fronted feature. If a filmmaker fails to ignite excitement among the viewers, the onus shouldn’t fall on them to still pay to watch a film, howsoever well-intentioned it is. Sinha agrees that the responsibility lies more on the industry to churn out diverse stories on a regular basis, even if it fails at times, in an attempt to reach out to the audience and eventually condition it to give a chance to “unpopular films”.
How does one restore the balance that an Assi and Lapataa Ladies can co-exist with a Dhurandhar and a Pathaan [2023]? “Yes, the balance has become very lopsided. But the fact that you said Assi and Dhurandhar in the same breath is good enough. Around 13 lakh people went to see Assi in the theatres. If I draw an analogy, 40–50 thousand people sit in a stadium to watch a match. Now, three crore people went to Dhurandhar, but its stakes and ambition were different. Assi’s ambition was not that three crore people should go to see me,” he argues.
But Sinha is a producer as well and the commercial ambition of Assi will have a number attached to it. “It should have done much better than what it did for it to fall into that [success] category. But that’s one of the later metrics that I look at. In the real world, it seems that the math of a film is very urgent. But it takes a backseat, not only for the filmmaker but for the whole team, including the stars and the studio. Years later, it doesn’t matter how much money did Satya [1998], Chandni [1989] or Lamhe [1991] make. On an urgent basis, Lamhe was a flop. But today, it is a hit.”
What remain urgent are Sinha’s stories. So, we mention our recent conversation with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who said that stories on screen are being weaponised to push people away from each other.
“As an audience, you can choose one story over the other but all of them have the right to exist. The Kerala Story [2023] has a right to exist, and so does The Kashmir Files [2022],” Sinha says.
So, where does an artiste’s responsibility lie? “Artistes will make their own choices and then history will place them on shelves. It’s not my job to place another artiste on a shelf or myself on another shelf. We are making films, and today there is a knee-jerk response. Twenty years later, when a smart girl writes a massive article about what happened in this era in India, we will all be judged much later. If you are fortunate, you will be judged, otherwise you will most likely be ignored by history.”
Shekhar Suman reacts to relief in 16-year-old court case: "Justice prevails"
2:58 PM
Natasha Coutinho (HINDUSTAN TIMES; May 3, 2026)
Sixteen years after a complaint over a joke on the show Comedy Circus Ka Jadoo led to a case against actor and TV host Shekhar Suman and comedian Bharti Singh, the Bombay High Court has quashed the FIR, bringing relief to the two artistes.
The case dated back to 2010, when an FIR was filed over allegedly offensive remarks made on the Sony TV show. Apart from Suman and Singh, the channel and a scriptwriter were also named as accused. The complaint, filed by a representative of Raza Academy, alleged that Singh had cracked a joke about a Quranic verse on the show, and that Suman, who was associated with the episode, had repeated the verse.
The court has now clarified that the role attributed to Shekhar and Bharti was “too remote” to bring them within the alleged offences, and that no material had been found to show deliberate or malicious intent on their part.
Reacting to the verdict, Suman tells us, “I did not even know about it. It was Bharti who had said something innocuously, with no religious connotation. I wasn’t even part of it, but was unnecessarily dragged into the matter to gain publicity.”
The actor says he is relieved by the court’s decision. “I’m extremely thankful to the honourable judge who trashed the case,” he says, adding that he was unaware the matter was still going on. “It came as a surprise. I had long forgotten about it. I wasn’t sent a notice or asked to appear for my stand. Thank God for that. Imagine how some people waste the precious time of court and hassle innocent citizens. Justice prevails.”
After Rajasthan, Sonakshi Sinha and Gulshan Devaiah shift gears to Mumbai for action-packed scenes in Dahaad Season 2
2:57 PM
Mohar Basu (MID-DAY; May 3, 2026)
The makers of Dahaad 2 aim to scale up the Sonakshi Sinha, Viineet Kumar Siingh, and Gulshan Devaiah-led series. After wrapping up the Rajasthan schedule, director Reema Kagti and her team will now move to Mumbai for the next leg.
According to sources, the Rajasthan leg — shot across multiple small-town locations — focused on establishing the new case and its socio-cultural context. “The Rajasthan schedule was about building the world again, getting the mood, and the investigation in place,” says a source close to the production.
With that groundwork completed, the unit is gearing up for a more physically demanding schedule in Kurla. The three-week stint will feature crowd-heavy scenes alongside action set-pieces. “There are multiple action blocks lined up from chases, confrontation scenes, to some high-intensity moments involving the police unit,” shares the source.
To ensure tighter execution, the team will shoot across controlled environments as well as select real locations in and around Kurla.
The source adds, “These scenes require timing, movement, and coordination. The idea isn’t to suddenly make it larger-than-life. But as the case progresses, the stakes naturally escalate. The Mumbai schedule reflects that progression.”
Ek Din collects 1.75 cr in 2 days; Raja Shivaji 19.75 cr; The Devil Wears Prada 2 earns 5 cr on Day 1 + previews
2:42 PM
Box Office India Trade Network
The period is seeing a good turnout in the cinemas despite the ongoing IPL tournament. This week saw films like EK DIN, RAJA SHIVAJI (Marathi) and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 (Hollywood). Although the Hindi film EK DIN was poor with just 1 crore nett and that too on a part holiday, it was the Marathi film RAJA SHIVAJI which managed to smash records for a Marathi film. EK DIN is a huge disaster as costs are so high even though the film had no face value.
RAJA SHIVAJI has collected around 7.50 crore nett in Marathi which is almost double the previous record Marathi holder SAIRAT which was 3.75 crore nett. RAJA SHIVAJI also collected well in its Hindi version with around 3 crore nett with Maharashtra leading and surrounding states like Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh having good collections. The Maharashtra holiday helped its cause as the state probably picked up around 8 crore nett in both versions including centres which fall in circuits of CP Berar and Nizam/Andhra.
The film is by far the biggest budget Marathi film ever with a cost of around 75 crore. So basically, it has to beat the 90 crore nett of SAIRAT to get near recovery. Non theatrical revenue is limited for Marathi cinema though this would have got more than the regular film.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 did well collecting 3.50 crore nett on its first day adding to the 1.50 crore nett apprx in paid previews. MICHAEL did well in its first week with 25.50 crore nett apprx and its second Friday is around 3.25 crore nett. It means the film could be at 40 crore nett after two weeks. PROJECT HAIL MARY is the only HIT in India this year from Hollywood. Though MICHAEL may not reach that status it is a success and has done well.
----------------------------------
EK DIN is a huge disaster as it collected 75 lakhs nett on the second day taking its total to 1.75 crore nett in two days. The costs of this film are huge and there will practically zero theatrical recovery. It means its only revenue will be non theatrical and with these results, even that will not be much.
The collections of EK DIN are as follows.
Friday - 1,00,00,000
Saturday - 75,00,000
TOTAL - 1,75,00,000 apprx
The Marathi film, RAJA SHIVAJI, is doing extraordinary business in Maharashtra not just the Marathi version but the Hindi version is also scoring extremely well in parts of the country. The film collected a similar figure as to day one and has a collection of around 20 crore nett in two days. The contribution from the Hindi version in two days is 6 crore nett. No Marathi film has collected even this much in Hindi before.
The collections of RAJA SHIVAJI are as follows.
Friday - 10,25,00,000 (Hindi - 3 cr / Marathi 7.25 cr)
Saturday - 9,50,00,000 (Hindi - 3 cr / Marathi 6.50 cr)
TOTAL - 19,75,00,000
Bhooth Bangla collects 119.44 cr in 15 days
2:26 PM
Box Office India Trade Network
BHOOTH BANGLA had a good second week collecting 36 crore nett but it has been supported by the Buy One Get One Free offer over the last two days which looks set to continue. This would have given the film around 50 lakhs extra over the last two days and it hardly matters if the film collects 35.50 crore nett or 36 crore nett as its the same thing. So, its really hard to understand why its done.
There were good advances of the Marathi film RAJA SHIVAJI and it could be to counter act that but eventually however well that film does, it is a Marathi flick which will stay mainly in one state while BHOOTH BANGLA has a market outside the state. It is also sometimes done to reach a figure for a better digital deal.
Overall, the film has held steady in week two showing a drop of under 55% from week one and stands at almost 115 crore nett which is what JOLLY LLB 3 did in its lifetime business. The Thursday bump was because its a holiday on Friday and in Maharashtra, its like a national holiday. So, the film will go up again on Friday.
The collections of BHOOTH BANGLA till date are as follows.
Paid Previews - 3,50,00,000 apprx
Friday - 11,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 18,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 21,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 6,15,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 5,50,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 5,00,00,000 apprx
Week One - 78,40,00,000 apprx
Friday - 5,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 11,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 3,50,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 3,75,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 36,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,14,65,00,000 apprx
------------------------------------
BHOOTH BANGLA did very well on its third Friday as it collected 4.25-4.50 crore nett as it was a holiday for May Day along with Maharashtra Day which is a big holiday in Maharashtra. The stronger collections were in Maharashtra and Mysore as the holiday factor probably worked better in these two circuits.
The holiday factor will mean limited growth on Saturday but eventually, if the film comes out with a 13-14 crore nett weekend, that is a superb result. The total collections now stand at almost 120 crore nett and it actually has a shot of 150 crore nett lifetime business especially if the film can continue to do well on the weekdays.
The film is likely to cross 40 crore nett in Mumbai circuit today while Delhi/UP stands at 28 crore nett and East Punjab is 11 crore nett. There will be Saturday growth in the North but in Mumbai, it may drop which will curtail the Saturday growth.
The collections of BHOOTH BANGLA till date are as follows.
Week One - 78,84,00,000
Friday - 5,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 11,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 3,50,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 3,75,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 36,25,00,000 apprx
Friday - 4,35,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,19,44,00,000 apprx
Dhurandhar The Revenge first film to cross 10 million mark in Canada
2:21 PM
Box Office India Trade Network
DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE smashed all records in Canada as it has collected almost $10.8 million till date which is a record by a distance and the first $10 million Indian film in the country. The film beat the record of DHURANDHAR by over $3 million and ANIMAL, by $3.7 million which are second and third best.
The market has grown by leaps and bound post the pandemic and is the fastest growing market for Hindi films in Overseas. There was a time 8-10 years back when $2 million was a big mark in Canada and here you have a film crossing $10 million. The share of Canada from the US/Canada market is 31% for DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE. This is roughly the average today though if the film has less of a gentry audience, then Canada can go up as USA has a bigger market for gentry films.
DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE has not beaten the BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION record in USA alone as that was $19.9 million and DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE will be $17.5 million. But BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION was only $275k in Canada while DHURANDHAR's sequel will be $7.9 million (USD) giving it $25.4 million total as compared to $20.175 million of BAAHUBALI 2.

Evelyn Sharma splits from husband Tushaan Bhindi
9:50 AM
Rishabh Suri (HINDUSTAN TIMES; May 2, 2026)
Actor Evelyn Sharma, last seen in the 2019 film Saaho, is parting ways with her husband, Indo-Australian dental surgeon Tushaan Bhindi, we have exclusively learnt.
Confirming the development, the actor tells us, “Yes, we have decided to go our separate ways romantically but are focused on raising our children together. We would appreciate privacy and assure that this is as amicable as it can be. We are building this new chapter on a lifelong friendship and co-parenting.”
The couple tied the knot in May 2021 in an intimate ceremony in Brisbane, Australia. Evelyn announced her first pregnancy two months later, and the couple now share two children — daughter Ava Rania, 4, and son Arden, 2.
Evelyn was a familiar face in Hindi cinema between 2012 and 2019, featuring in films such as Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013), Yaariyaan and Main Tera Hero (both 2014), before stepping away from the screen following her engagement to Tushaan in 2019.
Why are women constantly asked to justify how they look, while men aren't?-Malaika Arora
9:49 AM
Actor-entrepreneur Malaika Arora on shutting down age stereotypes and why men are rarely questioned about their appearance
Sonal Kalra (HINDUSTAN TIMES; May 2, 2026)
Fitness goals, fashion goals… You name any benchmark in showbiz, and chances are Malaika Arora has already achieved it. As the actor approaches three decades in the industry, she continues to remain relevant. This week on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, Malaika opens up about why she chose not to pursue full-fledged acting roles, her entrepreneurial journey, and her close-knit girl gang. Excerpts:
Looking the way you have for decades, we are sure there’s a lot of happiness and joy around it. But are there moments when you sit by yourself, and a fear creeps in that age might catch up and things could be different?
Now that’s a double-edged sword. There are days when it does cross my mind, when I do wonder or question the obvious. And then there are days when I don’t. Ultimately, I don’t care because I am doing what I love and I feel like I am in my prime. I am hungry and want to do so much, so it doesn’t really affect me. I feel women are constantly asked questions like, ‘At your prime, you were like this, and now you are at this age, how does it feel? Do you still feel beautiful or desirable?’ Very rarely is a man asked such a question. Women are always subjected to this test of looking a certain way, and we have to constantly justify how we look. People often go, ‘Oh my God, at this age she looks so amazing. Oh my God, at this age she’s so fit.’ Why? I was like this then, I am like this now, and I’ll be like this 20 years hence, because I feel good. As women, we have got to wear that on our sleeves as a badge and enjoy it, and not feel threatened or pressured by what society has to say.
At the end of the day, it’s not just the physical appearance. Yes, that’s what the world sees, but I feel you have to balance it out with how you are feeling mentally and emotionally. What is it that drives you? What is it that pushes you out of bed every single day and makes you go, ‘Go out there and seize the day?’ It’s not that every time I look in the mirror, I am thinking, ‘Oh, wow, I look good.’ I just have to wake up every day and say, ‘Today is a new day, and I want to make the most of it, and build some sort of legacy that I, my child, and family are proud of.’
How does it feel to spend nearly 30 years in the industry? What’s the journey been like?
It has been ‘wow’. That’s exactly how I would say it. For me, it’s been like a Hindi movie for over 30 years. There’s been a little bit of everything — fun, sadness, highs, lows, heartbreak, love, personal upheavals, and professional highs. One has experienced a little of all in these 30 years of being in the business, and it’s been amazing. I have loved every moment and look forward to the next 30 years.
Why would you not consider doing a full-fledged lead role all these years?
I think I am different. I didn’t want to do what everybody is doing; I didn’t want to be put into a box. Somewhere, I just felt maybe I needed to pivot and do something different. I was very lucky to get some amazing offers. People kept asking me why was I not doing them, but I was never really drawn or attracted to it. But I have always said ‘never say never’. Maybe one day I just might turn around and say, ‘I want to do this. Maybe this is my calling.’ Somewhere, I was happy doing what I did. Back then, I wasn’t sure I had the bandwidth to carry an entire film, and being part of something impactful felt amazing. Maybe a part of me chose the easier path, but over time, I realized this is what I truly enjoyed.
You call your life a Bollywood film and handle tough moments with humour. How do you do it?
I would like to say I have the last laugh. People may have an opinion, or they may want to ridicule or pull you down about something. But with all the good, there comes bad. There’s so much love and appreciation, which balances things out. At the end of the day, I am the one who sits and has the last laugh.
You’ve worn many hats — from entrepreneur to running a restaurant, now joined by your son, Arhaan Khan. What drives you to keep pushing as a businesswoman?
Well, I could just sit back and say, ‘I’ve had fun, I’ve been blessed to have that kind of career, and I am financially secure, so I don’t need to do anything beyond that.’ I could put my feet up and say that’s that, but I am not that person. I am greedy and hungry when it comes to work and opportunities. I feel all these opportunities have been given to me, and it is important for me to make the most of it. At some point, I didn’t realize that this was the path I was going to go down. I realized, why not throw myself into the deep end? Right from my first venture in collaboration for fashion, and now, a lot has happened. Each one has been a stepping stone.
Out of all the qualities you have, which one do you think your son has inherited the most?
I think it’s his sense of discipline and work ethic. When it comes to the way he leads his life, he’s very disciplined, he’s conscious and has a certain work ethic — always be on time and do things, which I think he’s got from me.
You receive a lot of love on social media, but it’s also a mixed space where people say whatever they want. Does that affect you in any way?
I have said this dozens of times: you don’t just take it with a pinch of salt, take it with a handful of salt. It is a platform. You are there, and it’s very simple. Either you choose to stay away from it, or you strike a balance. For me, I keep things out that I don’t need to engage with. I use social media purely as something that is good in terms of our work. At the same time, you use it in the right proportion, where you put out however much you want, and people get that much glimpse into your life. Enjoy it, have fun with it, and leave it at that. Don’t take it too seriously or get too bogged down by it. Don’t let it govern your life. You have to draw these lines somewhere, and then you are good.
Your girl gang (Amrita Arora Ladak, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor) also gets talked about a lot. In a hypothetical crisis situation, who would you call first?
Family, goes without saying. The girls that we hang out with, they are a phone call away, literally. They are a call away, and I know they will all be there. We stand up for each other and are each other’s support system. There are days where we don’t even connect; we may not talk, but we’ll always be there for each other.
Which actor from the current crop do you admire or really enjoy watching on screen?
I’ve grown up on a staple of Amitabh Bachchan’s films. I have loved his films during my growing-up years, and we keep watching them over and over again. Then, of course, I have always been a Shah Rukh Khan fan. I love his cinema. As you go along, there are so many others who do amazing work and are brilliant actors. But these are the ones I have always been a fan of.
What advice would you give to the people who sometimes feel low?
Being resilient or being able to build a solid inside (inner self) takes a while; it doesn’t happen overnight. There are numerous instances that push you against the wall, where you feel there is no way out. But then you work on yourself. You get strong physically and mentally, and I continue to do that because that’s part of life and learning. There are days where I feel completely bogged down, but I also then dig into my reserves, which are pretty strong, which help me tide over difficult times. If I have to say something, I would always tell people to listen to their body. It may sound silly, but love yourself. As women, we always feel so pressured about so many things. If you are working, there’s always a section of society that will make you feel what you are doing is not good and will tell you, ‘Who’s at home taking care of the kids?’ If you look a certain way, they’ll be like, ‘Isn’t it time for her to give up?’ There’s always something to justify, always a system pushing back. So I just want to say: love yourself.
Trolled for recent Reels, Rahul Roy says it was ‘a compulsion’
11:18 PM
Rishabh Suri (HINDUSTAN TIMES; May 1, 2026)
Why, Rahul Roy? This is a question many have been asking on social media since Tuesday. It all began when several Reels featuring the actor alongside a content creator went viral, raking in millions of views.
One clip in particular (see inset left) shows Rahul and Instagram user @dr_vanita_ghadhage_desai dancing to Tere Dar Pe Sanam (Phir Teri Kahaani Yaad Aayi, 1993), which originally featured him opposite Pooja Bhatt. Comments ranged from “Aisi kya majboori hai yaar” and “Seems as if he was forced” to “cringe content”.
When we speak about the response to his viral video, the 60-year-old admits he wasn’t too keen on doing the video at first. “Viral toh nahin hua... but compulsion ho gaya tha. Now I am not going to do that again. Thank you to all,” he tells us.
Later, in an Instagram note, Rahul elaborated, “I do my work with honesty and modesty. I have some legal matters to pay for, and these are not from today — they are from before the brain stroke happened.”
He further wrote, “If you mock my simplicity or make fun of my struggles, it says less about me and more about you... At least I am earning through hard work, not by mocking others.”
The actor had suffered a stroke in 2020 while shooting for the film LAC: Live The Battle (2022). At the time, he was diagnosed with aphasia, a condition affecting speech. He later shared that actor Salman Khan had helped him clear his medical bills.
Karan Tacker, Kalki Koechlin’s paranormal series gets season 2; shoot to start in November
11:17 PM
Vishakha Pandit (HINDUSTAN TIMES; April 30, 2026)
Actors Kalki Koechlin and Karan Tacker were recently seen in the paranormal series, Bhay - The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery, released in December last year, it is based on the life of Gaurab Tiwari, India’s most popular paranormal investigator.
Now, we have learnt that the series is set to return with a second season, with shooting to kick off towards the end of the year.
A source close to the development tells us, “Karan Tacker and Kalki Koechlin, who played Gaurav and Irene respectively in the first season, are expected to reprise their roles.” The source adds, “Shooting is expected to start in November.”
When contacted, the actors chose to remain tight-lipped about the development and did not comment on the reports. We reached out to director Robbie Grewal, who confirmed the news. “Yes, season 2 is in progress. We are working on it. Can’t confirm the exact day of shooting, but it will go on floors by the end of this year,” he says
