Just Entertainment!
They call him the ‘The Mass Maharaja’ down South. But thanks to the dubbed (Hindi) versions of his movies airing on satellite channels, he’s popular across
the country too. Why, Rowdy Rathore, which was a big success in Bollywood, was a remake of one of his films Vikramarkudu. Soon, we’ll ...

Small Is BIG
2012 saw a number of successful films, many of them breaching the Rs 100 crore mark. But the real success stories came wrapped in small budgets – high-concept films that surprised us all. So, whether Vicky Donor, Kahaani, Gangs Of Wasseypur or Barfi!... it was a profitable 12 months for ...

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 ...

Short Takes
• After Prakash Raj began doing film after film in Bollywood, it’s another South star’s turn to do the same. Nasser, who we saw in Rowdy Rathore as Baapji, is carving a niche in the industry. After the massive success of Rowdy Rathore, Nasser has been signed by Nikhil Advani for ...

Now Rowdy Rathore 2
Well, director Prabhudheva and actor Akshay Kumar aren’t making Rowdy Rathore 2. As we know, the original, Vikramarkudu (in Telugu), was made by genius filmmaker SS Rajamouli and he’s decided to make the sequel in Telugu.
The sequel will be produced by Rajamouli but it will not be directed ...
Lucky Date For Akshay Kumar
Considering his success with Rowdy Rathore, it seems Akshay Kumar will have a release every year post-IPL, a la Salman Khan during Eid. So next year, it will be Naam Hai Boss, which will release the week after the last ball of the IPL is bowled.
Jointly produced by ...
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 ...

Mind Your Language
The Hindi film industry likes to think of itself as being synonymous with the Indian film industry. And it therefore often views the regional cinema industry like one treats one’s distant, not-so-well-off relatives: with a mix of amusement and condescending patronisation.
However, taking the same analogy further, over time, ...
