Maidaan Worldwide Box Office Collection! (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Ajay Devgn led Maidaan released on the occasion of Eid but could hardly benefit from the festival. The film was expected to witness a big box office clash with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, but unfortunately, that is not the case. The biographical sports drama has even remained lower than Akshay Kumar starrer in terms of worldwide collections at the box office. Scroll below for all the details!
Maidaan is based on the life of Syed Abdul Rahim, a pioneering football coach in India between 1952 and 1962. We have previously seen sports biopics perform well in India. Whether it was Ms Dhoni: The Untold Story, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Chak De! India or Dangal, these films attracted a lot of footfall at the ticket windows. But in the case of Ajay Devgn’s film, the pre-release buzz in itself was not upto the mark.

When nothing works, how to make things work? No filmmaker, nor trade pundits have ever been able to predict this. In fact, there have been many instances of some film critics who could not predict a film’s success after watching it! Let alone film critics, even distributors who rejected a film after seeing it, have been proved wrong. In those days, a film was open for all distributors to watch during various stages of its making or even when completed. Many a time, a film thus rejected went on to become a blockbuster.
There were no buyers for ‘Zanjeer’, the Amitabh Bachchan blockbuster. The producer had to sell it for a song where the terms let the distributor keep the entire profit, instead of sharing it 50-50 with the producer as per the norm.

‘Bhed Chaal’ is a Hindi proverb very much used in relation to the Hindi film industry. It means that one huge success is followed by numerous other attempts. Original ideas are at a premium in the Hindi film industry. The makers either depend on a foreign film, or a novel, or a South Indian film for a subject.
Filmmakers always want to play safe because the risk factor is always high. The distributor, while being wined and dined, gets a sales pitch, like “Zanjeer se kam nahi hamari picture…” and such. Many smaller-budget imitations of ‘Sholay’, ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Deewaar’ and other such films flooded the market. That is to say, if one action film worked, many more were certain to follow.
With the introduction of the video format followed by CDs, the trend changed to copying Hollywood films. A star was sent two videos or discs to watch, and they were...

Look, no one is doing a favour by giving credit to a lyricist. It is our right, not a prize. I am not talking it for myself because I always got my credit.

Actor Kumud Mishra feels all the clamour around the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has turned a tragedy into a Bigg Boss-type drama, which is tarnishing his memory.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his apartment on June 14. Since then many theories have emerged -- from nepotism and blind items to drugs -- as the media circus around the actor's demise gets murkier. Currently, the death is being investigated by the Cbi, along with the Ed and the Ncb.
Kumud Mishra, who featured with Sushant in his 2016 superhit "M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story", feels one should wait for the Cbi to complete the investigation.
"Seriously, I don't know where we have come? When will we be quiet? When will we be silent? I don't know what to say because the tragedy of losing a young star is so big," Kumud Mishra told Ians when asked about the turns in the case.

Since the time Sacred Games released on the Ott streaming platform Netflix, there has been a debate on whether the content on these platforms should be kept in check or let to run loose.
The series had never-seen-before morbidity, unnatural sex, filthiest of foul language and yet delivered nothing that one could take home. Taking home was a phrase much related to films as there were times when one walked out of a cinema hall humming one of the film's songs or repeating its dialogue. What do you take home from, say, Sacred Games, Pataal Lok, Mirzapur, Mastram and such?
This column just recently discussed the limitations of the Cinematograph Act by which the authority of the Central Board of Film Certification (Cbfc) extends only till rating and certifying a film product that is meant for public exhibition.
In such an event, there is no check on what passes as Ott content.
