Revisiting The Box Office Failure Of Cirkus(Photo Credit –Facebook)
In the post-pandemic era, Ranveer Singh isn’t having the best of his time. Except for one successful film in the form of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, the actor has failed miserably with all other releases. Out of all, the box office failure of Cirkus was indeed a nightmare for the makers, with its theatrical deficit well above 100 crores. Keep reading to know more!
Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film was an official remake of Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma’s Angoor (1982). Upon its release in 2022, the film opened to mostly negative reviews from critics, and for Shetty fans, it was a shocker as the biggie lacked humor and was unbearable, something which doesn’t happen with Shetty’s films.

As the country celebrates Bihar Diwas on Friday, Ians has compiled a list of actors from the state who have made it big on the big screen and are making waves in Bollywood.
Manoj Bajpayee: The National Film Award winner, who is from village Belwa in West Champaran district, applied for admission into the National School of Drama (Nsd) four times, but got rejected on each occasion. That did not stop him from pursuing his celluloid dreams and attaining the fame he could never have dreamt of.
He made his film debut with a one-minute role in the 1994 Naseeruddin Shah-Om Puri-starrer ‘Drohkaal’, followed by a minor role as a dacoit in Shekhar Kapur’s much-acclaimed ‘Bandit Queen’.

Bhakshak (Netflix)
Starring Bhumi Pednekar, Sanjay Mishra, Aditya Srivastava, Sai Tamhankar
Directed by Pulkit
From its prologue where a young girl is brutalized and then left to die, to its closing monologue where investigative journalist Vaishali Singh looks straight into the camera and asks us if we have lost all compassion… Bhakshak resonates with the corruption and brutality of our times.
Bhakshak is set in a hell-house camouflaged as a shelter home in Munnawarnagar, a thinly veiled reference to the shocking gruesome crime in Muzaffarpur that had shaken the nation’s collective conscience in 2018. But what did we do? Did we go beyond out tsk-tsks in our living rooms?
Pulkit’s film does much more than make polite noises. It is a film of smothered shrieks and chilling recriminations. It is partly a true-crime thriller that Costa-Gavras would approve of, and partly a severe docu-dramatized condemnation of our socio-political reality...

What Happened At The Shelter Home?

Bhakshak is a brand-new Netflix India original film by debutant director Pulkit, produced by Red Chillies Entertainment. The trailer suggested that the film would be about a journalist’s crusade against the system, which is making sure she is not given the chance to report on a certain crime being carried out involving young girls. The movie pores over the journalist’s hustle to find answers about the crime, and how the government has hardly moved a finger to put an end to it. The movie is based on the true story of a shelter home for girls in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, where many allegations of abuse came out after the survey was conducted. Bhakshak is loosely based on this incident from 2018.

Bhakshak by writer-director Pulkit seems to have been reverse-engineered to quite a degree, which is why the result isn’t as engaging as it should have been. What is the issue here? It’s hard to pinpoint in a single viewing, but there is an instinct that points to the answer. The movie, written by Jyotsana Nath alongside Pulkit, has a significant idea at the center of it, but how best to show it becomes the issue. You have to have the right scenario and a carefully planned-out sequence of events that invites the audience into the world of Bhakshak. The film stars Bhumi Pednekar, someone who has quite boldly chosen films with something to say. She seems to be the one figure in the film that the audience can see and then can immediately be on board with the plot of the film. As far as having a relatable figure is concerned,...

Copenhagen (Denmark), Aug 26 (Ians) The fantastic run of India’s H.S. Prannoy in the Bwf World Championships came to an end in the final as he went down to former world junior champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn in a hard-fought men’s singles semifinal on Saturday.
The world No.9 Indian began the semifinal clash on a strong note and clinched the opening game with an aggressive approach.

Actor Vikam Pratap, who is known for his work in the streaming film ‘Darlings’, and has worked as a dialect coach, with Sanjay Mishra, Tillottama Shome, Pankaj Tripathi and Neetu Kapoor, will be soon seen in the upcoming streaming show ‘Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo’. For his part in the series, the actor starved himself and spent nights in the biting cold.
The character proved to be quite draining both mentally and physically for the actor.
Talking about the show’s story, Vikram said, “The story depicts two gangs of drug dealers out of which one gang is headed by Savitri (played by Dimple Kapadia) compromising her bahus and the another gang headed by Deepak Dobriyal of which I’m a part of. So I basically work for him along with my brother. That’s all I can say for now. I bagged this role through an audition by Casting Bay.
