In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Siddharth spoke about Doctors, Maharaj and a lot more. You have earlier made shows on TV like ‘Dill Mill Gaye’, ‘Sanjivani: A Medical Boon’ etc which were also about doctors. What is it about medical fraternity that interests you?

Prominent film producer, journalist, writer and poet Pritish Nandy passed away earlier this week at the age of 73. In an interview with us, veteran filmmaker and producer Mahesh Bhatt went down memory lane on his association and friendship with Nandy and how the latter helped him during the release of his films Arth and Saaransh. Were you in touch with Pritish Nandy in his final years? We were dear friends, we drifted apart, as people do. The years moved us apart. But I saw him once more at a tribute to Kaifi Sahib at the Nehru Centre. I walked up to him. “I owe you so much,” I said. He smiled. Just smiled. That was all, but it carried the years between us, the weight of what he had done for me. Last night, after the call, I sat with it all. Pritish, standing beside me in those days when the struggle felt endless. Pritish, lifting me to see the horizon I didn’t believe in yet. He’s gone now, but what he did remains. He shaped the world I walk in. He gave me Arth. Goodbye, Pritish. So...

For over a decade, the Christmas holiday period in Bollywood was synonymous with big-budget blockbusters and box office records. However, the last seven years have seen a consistent downturn in the fortunes of films released during this festive season. The last truly successful Christmas release was Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai in 2017, which emerged as a blockbuster with a lifetime collection of ₹339.16 crores. Since then, Bollywood has struggled to replicate the same magic, with flops, average earners, and outright disasters marking what used to be a lucrative release window. Between 2008 and 2016, Aamir Khan turned the Christmas period into his personal fortress. His films, such as PK (2014) and Dangal (2016), both achieved the rare distinction of being All Time Blockbusters, earning Rs. 340.8 crores and Rs. 387.38 crores respectively. These films not only dominated the domestic box office but also set global records for Indian cinema. Aamir's ability to deliver content-dr...

Starring Alia Bhatt in the lead role, the young actor played her younger brother. In an interview with us, Vedang got talking about his career so far and the box office failure of Jigra. You were hailed as the best newcomer of 2024. Do you feel the heat? I never think of it this way. I definitely see the year as progress towards where I want to be. Still a very long way to go. How did Jigra change the course of your career? I’ll be honest, I didn’t really have any career plans when Jigra was being made. I only saw it as the best thing that could’ve happened to me at that point in my life, after The Archies, and I attempted to give it my best shot. Did the failure of Jigra affect you? When it didn’t perform to what was expected, it definitely broke me. It was something I personally had so much faith in. I felt for the whole ...
