ZUBEIDAA (2001) — dir. Shyam Benegal 

[bollywoodirect]

Remembering legendary actor #ShashiKapoor on his 86th birth anniversary (18/03/38). Shashi Kapoor, remembered as a gentleman in his personal life, was a distinguished and accomplished actor on both stage and screen, known for his natural talent and versatility. He was also a visionary who had a clear sense of purpose, and his impact on India's social and cultural rejuvenation was unmatched. From producing films for acclaimed directors such as Shyam Benegal and Govind Nihalani to revitalizing Mumbai's Prithvi Theatre, Kapoor left an indelible mark on the country's artistic landscape. During a time when women directors were a rare sight in the film industry, Kapoor played a pivotal role in launching Aparna Sen's directorial career by producing her debut film, 36 Chowringhee Lane. This decision helped to pave the way for other women filmmakers to follow in Sen's footsteps, and it exemplified Kapoor's commitment to supporting emerging talent and promoting diversity in Indian cinema.

Hera Pheri (2000) Hera Pheri stands as a quintessential Bollywood comedy, earning a dedicated fan base over the years. The plot centers on Baburao, Shyam, and Raju, who become entangled in a hilariously botched kidnapping scheme. With sharp dialogues and standout performances by Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, this film is a comedic classic.

Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003) Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. combines humor with heart, following a local thug, Munna Bhai, who joins medical school to realize his father's dream. The film is beloved for its original premise and the memorable Circuit, played by Arshad Warsi, whose comedic flair adds charm to the story.

3 Idiots (2009) More than just a comedy, 3 Idiots delivers a powerful critique of the Indian education system. This film tracks the lives of three engineering students, featuring Aamir Khan in a standout role. Known for its blend of humor, touching moments, and a strong message, it’s a must-watch.

Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006) As the inaugural entry in the Golmaal series, Golmaal: Fun Unlimited is a riot of laughter. The film follows four friends who stumble into a series of hilarious predicaments. With a stellar cast including Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, and Sharman Joshi, the film is a comedic gem.

Dhamaal (2007) Dhamaal features four friends on a quest for hidden treasure, leading to a series of laugh-out-loud situations. The film shines with the chemistry of its lead actors—Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Javed Jaffrey—ensuring plenty of comedic moments.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007) Blending comedy with horror, Bhool Bhulaiyaa follows a psychiatrist unraveling a mystery in a haunted mansion. Akshay Kumar’s impeccable comedic timing, coupled with a suspenseful storyline, makes this film a unique and entertaining watch.

Welcome (2007) Welcome offers a hilarious look at a man who falls for a woman whose brothers are notorious gangsters. The film is full of witty dialogues and showcases the comedic prowess of Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, and Akshay Kumar.

Phir Hera Pheri (2006) The sequel to the iconic Hera Pheri, Phir Hera Pheri continues the comedic misadventures of Baburao, Shyam, and Raju. With another get-rich-quick scheme gone awry, this film delivers more of the humor that made its predecessor so beloved.

Chup Chup Ke (2006) In Chup Chup Ke, a man drowning in debt pretends to be deaf and mute to evade his problems. The film is notable for its heartwarming story and the comedic performances of Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, and Rajpal Yadav.

Hungama (2003) Hungama features a web of misunderstandings and comedic chaos as various characters’ lives intersect in humorous ways. With an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Aftab Shivdasani, and Paresh Rawal, this film is a rollercoaster of laughs.

These top 10 Hindi comedy films offer a delightful escape with their humor and engaging stories. Whether you're seeking a good laugh or a fun movie night, these films are sure to brighten your day.

Exclusive/ Adipurush Box Office Collection Day 1 Estimates: Prabhas’ Film Off To A Thunderous Start

Prabhas, Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush is finally here and has seen a great start on its opening day. But can it keep up the momentum? Read to find out!

The highly-anticipated Om Raut directorial Adipurush released on June 16. The film has been in the news ever since its announcement nearly three years ago. The buzz only intensified after the official trailer release in May. The Prabhas-starrer Adipurush comes after Saaho (2019) and Radhe Shyam (2022) didn't live up to expectations. In spite of the mixed response to Prabhas’ previous films, Adipurush is expected to open to a terrific response at the box office, as per early estimates

Om Raut’s mythological venture Adipurush is a 21st century retelling of the epic Ramayana.

It features Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh. 

The cast also includes Devdatta Nage as Bajrang and Sunny Singh as Shesh, among others. 

Adipurush opens big in Hindi

Republic Digital spoke with trade analysts regarding the early estimates of the opening day collections. Their estimates are almost in the same range regarding Hindi market collections, with slight differences. While film trade analyst Sumit Kadel puts it at ₹40 cr, tracker Ramesh Bala expects Hindi collections to be in the range of ₹40 to 45 cr. Manobala Vijayabalan quotes a slightly lower range at ₹30 cr plus. Exhibitor Akshaye Rathi feels that the collection from Hindi market alone will be ₹30 cr. “The all India net collection is expected to be around ₹80 cr across languages. Out of this, ₹30 cr is expected from Hindi alone,” says Rathi told Republic Digital's Roktim Rajpal. 

Film’s Telugu version to score big

Trade analysts were also asked about Adipurush's Day 1 opening day estimates of the film's Telugu version. Here too, their opinions varied, with Manobala Vijayabalan quoting a gross figure of ₹40 cr plus for the Telugu version, and Ramesh Bala quoting ₹40 cr to be the net collection on the first day. Additionally, Bala also told Republic Digital's Mugdha Kapoor that the opening day estimates for the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka would be around ₹10 cr. 

Exhibitor Akshaye Rathi further confirmed that apart from the Hindi market, Adipurush’s collections will also come “from other markets, especially Telugu”. He quoted the non-Hindi market collection of Adipurush to mint around ₹50 cr in total on the opening day. “For Adipurush, it would not be right to talk only about the Hindi collections. Its collections will also come from other markets, especially Telugu. The all-India net collection is expected to be around ₹80 cr across languages. Out of this, ₹30 cr is expected from Hindi alone,” said Rathi.

How Adipurush will fare on an all-India level?

In this case too, there appears to be a difference in opinions among trade analysts. Sumit Kadel puts the numbers at ₹80 to 100 cr while Ramesh Bala quotes a slightly higher figure between ₹90 to 100 cr. However,  Manobala Vijayabalan differs quite a bit on this count as he puts the “very early estimate” for nett India collections at ₹75 cr.  On the other hand, exhibitor Akshaye Rathi opines, “The all-India nett collection is expected to be around ₹80 cr across languages.”

Prabhas to score third Rs 100 crore opener?

There has been much speculation regarding how the Prabhas-starrer will fare at the box office and whether his superstar image will particularly augment the film’s success. According to Manobala Vijayabalan, though the word of mouth about the film is “not that good” right now, it is estimated to collect ₹100 cr plus around the world. “Although word of mouth is not that good, film is looking solid to post a total of ₹100 plus cr from around the world”, says the analyst. 

It is worth noting that Baahubali 2 and Saaho had previously collected ₹100 cr globally on the first day. Meanwhile, the advance booking for the first weekend looks promising. This suggests that Adipurush is set to have a good Saturday and Sunday. The real test, however, starts on Monday. Will it pass the test? Only time will tell.

Remembering legendary actor Shashi Kapoor on his 85th birth anniversary (18/03).

Shashi Kapoor, remembered as a gentleman in his personal life, was a distinguished and accomplished actor on both stage and screen, known for his natural talent and versatility. He was also a visionary who had a clear sense of purpose, and his impact on India's social and cultural rejuvenation was unmatched. From producing films for acclaimed directors such as Shyam Benegal and Govind Nihalani to revitalizing Mumbai's Prithvi Theatre, Kapoor left an indelible mark on the country's artistic landscape.

During a time when women directors were a rare sight in the film industry, Kapoor played a pivotal role in launching Aparna Sen's directorial career by producing her debut film, 36 Chowringhee Lane. This decision helped to pave the way for other women filmmakers to follow in Sen's footsteps, and it exemplified Kapoor's commitment to supporting emerging talent and promoting diversity in Indian cinema.
