Alia Bhatt’s Raazi all set to cross the Rs 100 crore mark

alia bhatt raazi
Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal starrer Raazi is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office today. The film’s total collection until Saturday stands at Rs 98.08 crore, with 4.20 crore earning on Saturday. It is almost certain that the film will enter the coveted Rs 100 crore club today. After releasing on May 11, the film has shown no signs of stopping and has managed to take on three big Hollywood releases: Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2 and now Solo: A Star Wars Story and come out unscathed.
Raazi, a political thriller directed by Meghna Gulzar, opened its account at a sum of Rs 7.53 crore. It upped its game soon after, riding on positive reviews and good word-of-mouth promotion. It ended its opening weekend at an impressive Rs 32.94 crore. Now in its third week, the film has not flagged behind and people are still going to the theatres to watch this film. The nuanced look at patriotism and intelligence gathering of the film has found appeal among Indian audiences.
Inspired by true events, Raazi narrates the story of a 19-year-old Kashmiri student Sehmat who embarks on a mission to relay classified information from Pakistan to help India in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War. It is based on the novel Calling Sehmat by Harinder Sikka.

While achieving the ₹ 100 cr figure may not be a cause for celebration for series, or [since the costs are very high], it is indeed BIG NEWS when films like and achieve those numbers... Or gets there.

The Indian Express film critic Shalini Langer had given a positive review of Raazi. She said, “Meghna paces the film well, fleshing out the characters who make up the Sayed family, into which Sehmat is married, and then gradually turning up the tension as the bride’s cover wears thin. While the ease with which Sehmat sends messages across the border, duping so many people at so many levels, in one of the most high-security houses in the country, is a little dubious, the film is at least professional and thorough about it. It covers most details economically, and doesn’t spare Sehmat the dirt,” her review read.”

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Dhadak review: There is no ‘dhak dhak’ in this Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter starrer

Dhadak movie cast:  Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Kharaj Mukherjee, Aditya Kumar Dhadak movie director:  Shashank Khaitan Dhadak movie rating:  One and a half stars Remaking Sairat for mainstream Bollywood was always going to be a tough ask. The edges of that searing 2016 tale of love-in-the-time-of-caste were necessarily going to have to be blunted and softened, because too much ‘realism’ is hard for us to handle. There isn’t a filmmaker working in India who can match Sairat director Nagraj Manjule’s appetite for recreating raw slap-in-the-face directness for the screen: the only one who can match him is Sanal Sashidharan, and neither of them work, for obvious reasons, in Bollywood, where dirt needs to be proffered up in pretty ribbons. What I was expecting from this  Karan Johar  production, I got– a polish-up-the-muck aesthetic to make it palatable for mainstream audiences. What I didn’t get, was feeling. That sense of playfulness ...
