Guns and Gulaabs 2: Ahead of New Year 2024, Netflix announces the second season of the Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan starrer

December 28, 2023 Den Mark

‘Kasam paida karne waale ki’, Netflix is all set to spread some holiday cheer with exciting news for fans. The streaming service has announced that the return of the uproarious world of Guns & Gulaabs as the series will make a spectacular comeback with its second season and perhaps answer the burning question, ‘Babu Tiger ne Gangaram ke kaan mein kya bola?’. What’s more? The creator duo Raj and DK are already stirring up a storm with the new season currently in the works! The filmmakers have already captivated audiences…

Bollywood Hungama went through the listings of Mumbai’s single-screen cinema halls and learned that none of them are sharing shows. The theatres playing Dunki are PVR Le Reve Bandra, MovieTime Star City, Ajanta Cinema Cinex Borivali, Kasturba Malad, Gold Dadar, Roxy, Inox Thakur Movie, MovieMax Andheri East, MovieMax Goregaon West, Chitra, Regal and Bahar. Meanwhile, Maratha Mandir, Citylight, Inox Nakshatra Dadar, Mukta A2 Orion Santa Cruz, Premier Gold, Plaza, Paradise, Gold Thane, Gold Borivali, Anand Cinema Thane, Movie Time Dahisar, New Excelsior, Movie Time Suburbia and MovieMax Kandivali have opted for Salaar. A similar scenario was seen across most centres in India. And in an amusing move, Gopi Cinema in Dombivali has shunned both the films. Instead, it is playing two shows of Animal and two shows of the Marathi film Jhimma 2! An exhibition source told Bollywood Hungama, “The team of Salaar were okay with sharing shows. But the distributors of Dunki were clear – you have to screen all shows of their film and not a single show can be given to Salaar. Hence, exhibitors had no choice but to opt for one film.” A single-screen exhibitor from North India spoke on the condition of anonymity, “I am screening Dunki and it’s doing well. But I wish I could have played Salaar. I have been getting so many enquiries since yesterday. It’s a film that suits the taste of my target audience. When Gadar 2 and OMG 2 clashed and shared shows peacefully, the same could have been done for Dunki and Salaar as well.” Meanwhile, in a shocking development, the afternoon show of Dunki in Maratha Mandir was not played as the KDM wasn’t issued. Executive Director Manoj Desai refunded the amount to the patrons. He then played Animal in the evening and night shows and from today, Salaar will be played in 3 shows. He told us, “Agar distributors aisa karenge, toh hamare sab ke din bhar gaye hai.” An industry insider commented, “The exhibitors are suffering in this clash. Salaar is distributed by AA Films. Those who opted for Dunki now fear that AA Films won’t let them play the next big film that he’ll distribute. In the past, AA Films had distributed Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees which clashed with Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil. Mumbai’s Chandan Cinema and Central Plaza opted for Kaabil. They had to suffer when AA Films didn’t allow them to showcase Baahubali 2. That film was pulling in the audience in hordes and these two theatres had to bear losses.”

Dhootha review: Naga Chaitanya, Parvathy Thiruvothu’s thriller series is marred by clichés, overreliance on the supernatural

December 6, 2023 Den Mark

After a Mumbai-based serial killer sent shivers down the spines of corrupt film critics (in R Balki’s Chup: Revenge of the Artist), a new journo slayer is on the loose, haunting tainted scribes. However, unlike Danny (Dulquer Salmaan) in Chup, the new serial killer is far more notorious and primarily targets those near and dear to the corrupt ones, instead of attacking the journos directly. Wow. This definitely is not a good time to be a journalist, huh? Well, it isn’t; but not just because films and shows want manipulative…
