Sanju box office collection Day 21: Will Dhadak release affect Ranbir Kapoor starrer?

The Sanjay Dutt biopic Sanju has maintained its numero uno position at the box office for the last 20 days. But with new films releasing this Friday, will the film continue to enjoy its smooth run? Sanju has already made its entry into the Rs 300 crore club. However, the film, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Paresh Rawal, Vicky Kaushal and Sonam Kapoor among others, might face competition from Dhadak.

Film trade analyst Girish Johar thinks Dhadak may have a little edge over Sanju. “I think there is 60 per cent chance that Dhadak will lead the weekend. But more of it will depend on the word of mouth,” opined Johar.

Sanju also found favour with critics. Giving Sanju a thumbs up, Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta in her review wrote, “Once you’ve made your peace with the Sanjay we get, and there was no way of getting any other in a Hirani movie, you can sit down and enjoy the film. I had a blast all the way till the half-way mark. Ranbir Kapoor is wholly believable as Sanjay-Sanju, channeling not just his (Dutt’s) distinctive body language and ‘lehja’, but his internal confusion. Paresh Rawal, playing Sunil Dutt with exemplary restraint, matches Kapoor step for step, even striding ahead in places. Manisha Koirala, as Nargis, makes you wish there was more of her. Jim Sarbh, as the guy-with-the-bad-influence, is very fine and dandy, and Vicky Kaushal as Sanju’s faithful New York-based Gujju friend who teaches him life lessons, is absolutely terrific. And Hirani is in top form, getting all his reel characters to riff off the real characters, in the pursuit of a solid, entertaining tale.”

Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroop 2 distributor Reliance Entertainment suffers a Rs 25-30 crore loss

Vishwaroop 2, the Hindi version of Kamal Haasan's latest spy-thriller, has failed to make a mark in the Hindi belt. The movie, which was released in theatres on August 10 after hitting several roadblocks and overcoming financial hurdles, got derailed at the box office because of its confusing storytelling and unpleasant screenplay. While some reports suggested that the Vishwaroop 2 managed to earn a mere Rs 90 lakhs on the opening-day, trade analyst Girish Johar said that the movie has earned around Rs 1.5 crores over the weekend. Speaking about the average business of the Kamal Haasan starrer, Johar told Pinkvilla, "What I believe is Kamal Haasan is sure shot a big icon in Indian Cinema but I think the film had similar kind of fate in the first part as well. The audience in the second time around were also not that keen because last time also the film did quite an ordinary business in Hindi version. So probably, this kind of storytelling he is trying to bring, Hindi a...

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.
