Sanju set to join Rs 300 crore club, first for a Ranbir Kapoor film

New Delhi: The Rajkumar Hirani-directed biopic Sanju, which stars Ranbir Kapoor as Bollywood’s “bad boy” Sanjay Dutt, is on its way to become the highest grossing Bollywood film of 2018. Sanju has already clocked over Rs 280 crore at the box office and is poised to join the Rs 300 crore club, a first for Ranbir Kapoor, to the record of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. Having opened to rave reviews from critics, Sanju’s opening weekend recorded Rs 120 crore and by the end of the first week itself, Sanju had crossed the Rs 200 crore mark.

Amid talks of a sequel of Sanju for Sanjay Dutt fans who still want to know more about the ups and downs in the life of the controversial actor, the star has announced that he is penning his autobiography. To be released next year on his 60th birthday on 29 July 2019, the memoir promises to reveal interesting stories that he “never had the chance to tell before”.

Sanju is already in the list of top 10 highest grossing Bollywood films of all time. Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion, which created a new record with Rs 510 crore at the box office, is at No. 1 followed by two Aamir Khan films Dangal and PK while Sanju stands at No. 9 now.

In theatres, meanwhile, Salman Khan starrer Race 3 is struggling to survive after crossing Rs 160 crore in three weeks while Padmaavat (Rs 302 crore) remains the highest grosser of 2018.

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 ...
