’12s Baker’s Dozen
So here we are, bringing out our last issue of the year.
Quite appropriately, we head to press with the fabulous news that the year’s last major release, Dabangg 2, has literally rocked the box office, waltzing into the Rs 100-crore club in its very first week!

Jodi No. 1
The latest Jodi No. 1 in Tinsel Town seems to be Ajay Devgn and his director Sajid Khan. And this is pretty evident on the sets on their film Himmatwala, which also features Tamanna Bhatia in the lead. The positive feeling, among the cast and everyone on the sets, is ...

It’s A (Wo)Man’s World?
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
That could well summarise the situation our leading men have found themselves in over the nearly century-long history of our industry’s existence. And with every poor box-office performance that a star delivers, he finds himself subject to much theorising and many ...
“My Best Is Yet To Come”
Today, Indian cinema is all about making it to the 100-crore club, and more than content, everyone is talking about how much money a film makes. Among the lucky actresses who have been part of these 100-crore blockbusters is Asin – from her first Bollywood film Ghajini to Ready to ...

Contrarian Bet, Anyone?
Our industry has often been criticised for exhibiting a certain herd mentality. In droves, filmmakers latch on to the last hit film or star and then try to create multiple clones of that success.
While it is easy for outsiders to deride this trait, the fraternity itself would justifiably ...

“Making people laugh is the toughest job”
Every so often, when a film sweeps the box office, it is the actors who walk away with the accolades. The people behind the scenes simply don’t get enough credit, like scriptwriters Farhad-Sajid, who have delivered five blockbusters to date. This week, Box Office India shines the spotlight on this ...

There were two releases this week – Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Wide Frame Pictures’ Bittoo Boss and Sai Prasad Media’s Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein.

Housefull 2: So Far, So Good
Sajid Khan’s Housefull 2 enjoyed a good run during the weekend but Monday morning saw a major drop in collections . Unfortunately for the film, the on-going IPL has played spoilsport.
