Sanju gives Ranbir Kapoor his career-best opening at the box office

ranbir kapoor's sanju box office
Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju has opened at the box office with a gigantic figure of Rs 34.75 crore. The Rajkumar Hirani film has struck gold at BO on the opening day itself, but this was to be expected, thanks to the combination of names like Hirani, Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt behind the movie.
Apart from being the highest opening grosser of Bollywood for 2018, Sanju is also the biggest film of Ranbir Kapoor’s career in terms of its opening. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh recently took to Twitter to share the figures of Sanju, “Non-holiday… Non-festival release… Yet, #Sanju packs a PHENOMENAL TOTAL on Day 1… Emerges the BIGGEST OPENER of 2018 [so far]… Also, Ranbir’s HIGHEST OPENER to date… Expected to cross ₹ 100 cr in 3 days, as per trends… Fri ₹ 34.75 cr. India biz.”

Sanju is Ranbir Kapoor’s biggest opener at the box office 

The second film to have an opening even a little close to Sanju in Kapoor’s career is Besharam, which had opened at the box office with an impressive number of Rs 21.56 crore. Besharam is widely considered as Ranbir’s least impressive film. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, in which Kapoor had starred along with Deepika Padukone, had opened at the box office with Rs 19.45 crore. Ranbir is now collaborating with his Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani director Ayan Mukerji for Brahmastra.
Karan Johar’s film Ae Dil Hai Mushil had also received a warm welcome with Rs 13.30 crore. The film was a Diwali release and also starred Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in lead roles. Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha had an opening of Rs 10.94 crore. Tamasha got a lot of critical appreciation and it starred the hit pairing of Deepika Padukone and Ranbir.
The Sanjay Dutt biopic Sanju has mostly received a positive response from film critics. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Dia Mirza, Anushka Sharma and Vicky Kaushal in pivotal roles. The film has been directed by Rajkumar Hirani.

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...
