Bigg Boss 13: Rashami Desai breaks down ahead of Arhaan Khan's eviction

Image
Basically, Bigg Boss 13 has been quite an unpredictable ride so far. The latest to get evicted from the house is Arhaan Khan, whose romance with Rashami Desai made quite a lot of news. While everyone dropped hints on how Arhaan might not be the right guy for Rashami and host Salman Khan busted some serious facts about his personal life, Rashami seemed to give two hoots and stuck to Arhaan. A day back, however, Salman announced that one among Arhaan, Shefali Bagga and Madhurima Tuli would be evicted since they were at the bottom. This got Rashami emotional and the two could be seen at the confession room while she hugged Arhaan and broke down in tears. She is also seen telling him how she was feeling heavy from inside. Such emotions are infectious and Arhaan is also seen hugging her back, looking all emotional. Soon after his eviction, Arhaan also slammed the show in an interview and said that his past was unnecessarily dug up. Salman had earlier shockingly revealed that Arhaan is a

#2019Recap: Salman’s supremacy, Akshay’s dominance, rise of Hrithik, Shahid, Vicky – a look at the notable box office trends

Image
Another year has ended but this one was different. It had too many twists and turns. Several films that were not expected to work or were to be average grossers became huge hits. On the other hand, a few films that could have easily been biggest grossers of the year, underperformed. In this Bollywood Hungama Special Feature, we take a look at sixteen interesting trends of the ticket window in 2019: 1. Underperforming year for Salman Khan Salman Khan had two films, both of which failed to really impress the audiences. His Eid release, Bharat , was met with mixed response, which affected its overall box office outcome (Rs 194 crore). His Christmas offing, Dabangg 3 , was poorer and has failed to reach even the Rs. 150 crore mark. 2. Even underperforming films of Salman Khan go over Rs. 100 crore Despite Bharat, Dabangg 3 and even 2018’s Race 3 not doing well, Salman Khan is still a force to reckon with. Even if his films don’t impress, they still manage to cross the Rs. 100 cror

Watch: Varun Dhawan has a hilarious fall while rapping and ice-skating at the same time

Image
Ever been in a fix when you are on a holiday but can't simply switch off from work mode? Something similar happened to Varun Dhawan. He is presently holidaying in Switzerland, and the frosty mountains are enough to keep him occupied. Much funnily, however, Varun's last released song is called ‘ Garmi !' And then, he thought of performing the rap portion of his song while ice-skating. The multi-tasker that he is, the actor rapped, skated and also took a selfie video at the same time. And this unique amalgamation ended with a great fall...LOL! "RAP and ICESKATE  #Sd3 Watch till the end so u know why you should never try this!! Sorry @badboyshah I tried," he wrote, sharing the video on Instagram. This sent everyone including Varun's Street Dancer 3D co-star Nora Fatehi and friend Jacqueline Fernandez into a fit of laughter.   View this post on Instagram   RAP and ICESKATE ⛸ ☃️ #Sd3 Watch till the end so u know why you should n

Why Aamir Khan-starrer Dangal is the BIGGEST hit of this decade of INDIAN CINEMA!

Image
The decade is about to end and box office-wise, a lot new benchmarks were created by various films that released in India. The Southern films made a mark in a big way, especially the 2017 flick Baahubali 2: The Conclusion . It’s Hindi version collected a mind-boggling Rs. 510.99 crore, surprising trade and industry. No Hindi film has even crossed the Rs. 400 crore mark and here was a Telugu film that did the unthinkable. Even in overseas and in other versions, it did extremely well and the total collections stand at more than Rs. 1000 crore! However, there’s one film that has gone beyond this monstrous blockbuster. And that movie is none other than the 2016 sports drama Dangal , starring Aamir Khan in a leading role. It was the Christmas release that year and had quite a few challenges. It was not the typical Bollywood entertainer – it had Aamir playing an overweight, senior citizen for most part of the movie. There was no romantic angle. Songs are beautiful but weren’t chartbusters.

7 reasons why Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 underperformed at the box office

Image
Salman Khan’s much awaited cop drama, Dabangg 3 opened on 20 th Dec 2019 across the globe with mixed reviews, tilted towards the negative zone from the audience and critics alike. The film was expected to be another blockbuster from Salman Khan, however the underperformance has come across as a shock to the industry as well as to the team of the film. There are several factors which went against the cop franchise, some of which were under their control and some external factors, which was nothing but sheer bad luck. Economically, the film is a profitable venture for both producers due to the sale of satellite and digital rights, while there isn’t even an issue of loss for the distributors as the film was released by Salman Khan himself. None the less, despite the profits, there is no denying the fact that it’s an underperformer of epic proportions considering that the lifetime collections would be in the same zone to what Dabangg and Dabangg 2 did almost a decade back. The lifetime co

Joker: Did Arthur Fleck kill Sophie? Deleted scene from Joaquin Phoenix & Todd Phillips' reveals Zazie Beetz' fate
