Your queries replied by KOMAL NAHTA..
Which between Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan will take a bigger opening on 11th August?
– Since 11th August is the day of the Raksha Bandhan festival, it will be a holiday. So let us pray that both, LAAL SINGH CHADDHA and RAKSHA BANDHAN, open to bumper houses.
Why does the trade always say that it is better for two big films to not clash on the same day?
– Big films need more number of shows per day. If two big films hit the screens on the same day, shows get divided. In other words, none of the two films gets the optimum number of shows it deserves. Also, there are already running films too which need to be accommodated along with the two big releases.
Does Bollywood need to worry about the rate at which films are flopping?
– Definitely, Bollywood needs to worry. And not just about the rate at which films are flopping but also at how terribly they are bombing. Shows being cancelled at cinemas owing to absence of audience is becoming routine, and that’s not a good sign.

Now all the eyeballs are on the reviews and box-office collection of the movie #Shamshera. Bollywood is going low, let’s hope Shamshera shall do some good bussiness. Director #karanmalhotra is sure about the output. Sanjay Dutt is also quite optimistic. While the film is not his first work after recovering from cancer, he filmed portions of the film after he was declared cancer-free. Recalling Sanjay’s spirit on the sets, ‘Shamshera’ director Karan Malhotra called him a superman.
Truly ! Sanjay Dutt isn’t a normal human being. We all are witness of his struggle and severe sufferings, since his childhood, he was born to the busiest parents ie Sunil Dutt and Nargis, they were the best parents but were really very busy with their shootings and social works, they had not enough time for their kids, I am not blaming them for bad parenting. Sunil Dutt and Nargis tried their best to give their children all they needed, but these two were also committed to their profession and social work as well, Priyanka was growing cool but Sanjay Dutt missed his parents, being a boy he was more exposed to the bad boys of the Bandra. He was mislead by filthy guys, drugs addiction happend, then rehab episode wasn’t an easy one. However, he came out of it but he suffered alot. He lost his mother very early. He can’t even shared his happiness of the success of his debut film ‘Rocky’ with her mother. Then Tears were his true friend, after that illegal arms episode came, then unsuccessful relationships gave him shocks. His wife Ekta lost the battle with Cancer. His girl friend Riya Pillai left him amid his worst days. Then Sanjay lost his father, he was the only true support for him. Sanjay’s daughter wasn’t with him. A daughter not accepting his father, is a pain only a father facing the same situation can better understand. Then came the worst period.. Conviction and then Prison. Jail was hell for him. Even then he survived… Is he a normal human being ? No, a normal person had died very early by heart attack or brain hammurrage or suicide But against all odds and corns he not only survived, also, he came back with all the makeover on his face just to restart his career.
Superman is just a fiction, infact Sanjay Dutt is an angel, a powerful angel to whom God gave all the problems in one life just to examine his favorite soul. Now God have bestowed him a good wife, kids and moments to relax. Hats off to you man ! You are a real SUPERMAN, Love you loads.

actor Sushmita Sen’s relationship with a controversial businessman Lalit Modi. When Mr. Bhatt directed Sushmita in her first film, Dastak, then she wasn’t aware of the new medium cinema at all, Mahesh Bhatt gave her initial and very important tips, he almost trained her how to face the camera, how to deliver her lines, he also taught her the body language of the character. This isn’t new for Mahesh Bhatt, he always do serious extra work on his actors, that’s why we are able to watch actors with extra grace in his movies. Sushmita Sen was lucky enough to debut under the direction of Mahesh Bhatt, She became one of the top most stars during her active days. Mahesh Bhatt recently to a journalist that once upon a time she was very near and dear to the director Vikram Bhatt. Now once again she is in news for another reason. Recently, Lalit Modi took the internet by storm, when he announced that he is dating Sushmita Sen. She hasn’t confirmed the relationship in as many words, but has since said that she’s happy and would appreciate it people stopped nosing around in her business.
Yes, rightly said Sushmita, we respect your privacy, may God bless you with happiness all around you.
