Race 3 worldwide box office: Salman Khan starrer crosses Rs 250 crore mark

Race 3 worldwide box office: Race 3 is rocking not just the Indian box office. It is also making its presence felt all over the world. The Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor starrer has grossed Rs 255.52 crore at the global box office just within a week. In India, too, this Remo D’Souza directorial is inching towards the Rs 150 crore mark. Its current Indian haul stands at Rs 148.05 crore.

On its opening day itself, the action-thriller had begun breaking records. It became the highest opening Bollywood film of the year yet with Rs 29.17 crore earnings. Race 3 marks Salman Khan’s entry into the Race franchise. Salman replaced Saif Ali Khan in the lead role. The film also stars Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah, Saqib Saleem and Freddy Daruwala.

While in terms of box office performance, Race 3 is record-breaking, it did not receive too many favourable reviews. The Indian Express’ own Shubhra Gupta had given a scathing review of the film, noting, “Race 3 is nothing but a recycled bin of too many car chases, explosions, buffed up characters strutting in slo-mo, and wilted lines. The same character who had a ‘bad feeling’, also uses the word ‘so tacky’. Well, what else would you call a film which doesn’t do justice to its finest asset, Anil Kapoor? The superbly fit Kapoor is a left-over from the previous Race flicks, and he was an absolute hoot in both.”

But of course, Salman Khan films are never affected by reviews. Race 3 also does not have any major competition for a whole week in India. Until Sanju hits theatres on June 29, the film will have an uninterrupted theatrical run and even Sanju may not affect it much.

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.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
