#2019recap: From Priyanka Chopra's MET Gala look to Bollywood's selfie with PM Modi, moments that stormed the internet

A much eventful year comes to an end. 2019 was full of pleasant and disappointing cinematic experiences, achievements and controversies, among other newsworthy developments. As we head towards a brand new year, we looked back at some of the most viral moments and photos from Bollywood that took the internet by storm. Check out below! Bollywood's iconic selfie with PM Narendra Modi A bunch of A-listers from Bollywood flew to New Delhi to discuss the role of cinema in the building of the nation. From Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana to Rohit Shetty, Rajkummar Rao and Sidharth Malhotra, everyone was there!

5 Bollywood Weddings In 2020

2019 was the year of heart-breaking no big splashy weddings in Bollywood in 2019. In the coming year we hope to see some high-profile couples tie the knot in lavish extensively covered weddings. Here’s assessing the marriage potential of 5 in-the-news couples. 1.  Malaika Arora-Arjun Kapoor : No wedding plans for this just-happy-to-be-together couple for various reasons. While Malaika has her hands full of her responsibilities as a single mother (which she would not want to share with anyone else) Arjun’s sister Anshula must be married before he thinks of his own. Hence in 2020, this forever-clicked couple would just be happy being a couple. Any problems with that? 2. Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor : The cynics didn’t give this relationship for more than six months. His commitment-phobic record spoke for itself. But Ranbir has grown older and wiser. He is not the same heartbreaker who dated and dumped Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and other unmentionable names.  He wants to settle dow

Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek reveals how playing Freddie Mercury influenced him in James Bond - No Time To Die

2019 was a phenomenal year for Rami Malek who starred as Queen singer, late Freddie Mercury, in Bohemian Rhapsody. While his performance was highly applauded by the critics, he is moving ahead with yet another interesting role and this time as a villain in James Bond: No Time To Die.  This will be the final installment for Daniel Craig who takes on the 007 role for the last time. Speaking about his villainous role Safin in the upcoming Bond film, Rami Malek revealed how Bohemian Rhapsody taught him to avoid being a carbon copy while prepping for the role. “If I went in there and tried to make a carbon copy of someone, what joy or fun would that be for anybody? I guess that may be a lesson I learned from Mr. Mercury,” he told Empire Magazine. “If it’s not original, then why bother? I’ve pocketed some things from some of my favourites. But I tried to every day imbue this character with something I thought made sense for the character, but might also at the same time be shocking and

Why Aamir Khan-starrer Dangal is the BIGGEST hit of this decade of INDIAN CINEMA!

The decade is about to end and box office-wise, a lot new benchmarks were created by various films that released in India. The Southern films made a mark in a big way, especially the 2017 flick Baahubali 2: The Conclusion . It’s Hindi version collected a mind-boggling Rs. 510.99 crore, surprising trade and industry. No Hindi film has even crossed the Rs. 400 crore mark and here was a Telugu film that did the unthinkable. Even in overseas and in other versions, it did extremely well and the total collections stand at more than Rs. 1000 crore! However, there’s one film that has gone beyond this monstrous blockbuster. And that movie is none other than the 2016 sports drama Dangal , starring Aamir Khan in a leading role. It was the Christmas release that year and had quite a few challenges. It was not the typical Bollywood entertainer – it had Aamir playing an overweight, senior citizen for most part of the movie. There was no romantic angle. Songs are beautiful but weren’t chartbusters.

Shocking! Ramesh Sippy’s film Shimla Mirchi goes straight to OTT

While producers RSVP’s colourful musical extravaganza  Bhangra Paa Le  was wrongly being reported as going to the streaming platform, it is being released on January 3 in theatres across India, another talked-about film is not quite that lucky on the same Friday.   Unknown to anyone associated with the film the producers Viacom 18 have decided to release Ramesh Sippy’s  Shimla Mirchi , Sippy’s first directorial venture in 24 years, on Netflix.  Neither the director nor the principal members of the cast Hema Malini and Rajkummar Rao were taken into confidence on the release platform.  A source close to Ramesh Sippy says the veteran director of  Sholay  is mighty miffed, “Viacom 18 has taken the decision (to release Shimla Mirchi  on the digital platform) on their own.

7 reasons why Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 underperformed at the box office

Salman Khan’s much awaited cop drama, Dabangg 3 opened on 20 th Dec 2019 across the globe with mixed reviews, tilted towards the negative zone from the audience and critics alike. The film was expected to be another blockbuster from Salman Khan, however the underperformance has come across as a shock to the industry as well as to the team of the film. There are several factors which went against the cop franchise, some of which were under their control and some external factors, which was nothing but sheer bad luck. Economically, the film is a profitable venture for both producers due to the sale of satellite and digital rights, while there isn’t even an issue of loss for the distributors as the film was released by Salman Khan himself. None the less, despite the profits, there is no denying the fact that it’s an underperformer of epic proportions considering that the lifetime collections would be in the same zone to what Dabangg and Dabangg 2 did almost a decade back. The lifetime co

BREAKING: CBFC passes Deepika Padukone-starrer Chhapaak with ‘U’ certificate and ZERO cuts

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), since 4-5 years, has become too conservative or regressive at times. A lot of unfair cuts have been enforced on certain films, which has led to numerous controversies over the years. But one can’t deny that there have been also instances when the CBFC has understood the intent behind a film and have not gone for any kind of censoring in such films, despite the presence of disturbing scenes or dialogues. Chhapaak , one of the first films of 2020, is one such film that has escaped the wrath of CBFC. Starring Deepika Padukone, it tells the story of an acid attack survivor. The powerful trailer is laced with some scenes that can be difficult to sit through for audiences. However, thankfully, the CBFC understood the motive behind those scenes in this Meghna Gulzar-directed film. And surprisingly, they have passed the film without any cut. Moreover, it has also been awarded a ‘U’ certificate! A source close to the project says, “Though Chhap

Joker: Did Arthur Fleck kill Sophie? Deleted scene from Joaquin Phoenix & Todd Phillips' reveals Zazie Beetz' fate
