Race 3 box office collection day 9: The Salman Khan starrer continues its dreamy run

Race 3 box office collection day 9: Salman Khan’s Race 3 has slain the box office like a boss, and expecting anything else from a Salman Khan film would be undermining the star power of the actor. On its first day itself, the action-drama had minted a collection of Rs 29.17 crore. And in merely three days, the movie had joined the Rs 100 crore club.

While a big part of the film’s success has been attributed to Salman, it cannot be denied that the Race franchise itself, Race and Race 2, had been a success. The film recently crossed the Rs 150 crore mark.

Despite its stupendous success at the box office, the film has, by and large, failed to impress critics. The Indian Express’ film critic Shubhra Gupta had given a negative review to the film and had called it a snoozefest.

“Given our experience of the Race franchise, we are fully prepared for bad guys, fast cars, faster gals, dazzling foreign locations, shiny dance-floor moves, locomotives that cost more than a good sized 2BHK flat, supersize mansions, and a thin plot spiced by a twist or two. It’s a template, but we are always up for tales with all of the above if they are smart and pacy enough. The trouble with this third part is that it is neither. At two and a half hours, it is a scattershot snoozefest, perking up only when Salman Khan shows up,” a section of her review read.

Race 3 stars Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Daisy Shah, Jacqueline Fernandez, Bobby Deol and Saqib Saleem in significant roles. It has been directed by Remo D’Souza.

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 ...
