The Independence Day weekend has been hogged by the veterans of the Indian screen. Be it on Hindi, Tamil or Telugu screens. This weekend is one of the special few in a year that filmmakers seek for the release of a new film. The other sought-after weekends are Republic Day (January 26), Diwali, Eid and Christmas.
Some of the biggest hits were released during one of these periods and it is universal knowledge that Hindi cinema’s historical blockbuster, ‘Sholay’, was released on August 15, 1975.
Actors have their favourite release slots like the Eid week is Salman Khan’s. Shah Rukh Khan chose January 26 this year for ‘Pathaan’.
If the holiday for any of these special days falls on a Friday, it assures a film of a decent opening and the rest depends on its merits. But for any film, if the holiday for one of these occasions comes mid-week, it works...

New Delhi, Aug 17 (Ians) August 16 may have been a working day, but Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer’ and Sunny Deol’s ‘Gadar 2’ not only did well, but also left the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Omg 2’ and Chiranjeevi’s ‘Bholaa Shankar’ way behind.
At the end of Day 6, ‘Gadar 2’ was sitting on a worldwide collection of Rs 338.50 crore.
Interestingly, Tara Singh’s one-man war against Pakistan seems to have touched a chord in Chennai, for the southern metropolis saw a 73.75 per cent occupancy in theatres for ‘Gadar 2’. Pakistan-bashing, clearly, works as much in the south as it does in the north, that too on a working Wednesday.
‘Jailer’, being a Tamil film, doesn’t have as big a footprint as ‘Gadar 2’, yet with Thalaiva Rajinikanth headlining it, by its seventh day, it had amassed Rs 420 crore.
Of course, the film’s domestic collections have come mainly from the four southern states,...

Review‘Bholaa Shankar’ would probably remain one of the few remakes that made an already terrible film – Ajith’s 2015 Tamil film ‘Vedalam’ – look better.If Balakrishna had brought back the boring ‘sister sentiment’ trope in his last film Veera Simha Reddy, it is Chiranjeevi’s turn to exploit the cliche in Bholaa Shankar. Directed by Meher Ramesh, Bholaa Shankar stars Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah, and Keerthy Suresh in the lead roles. Ramesh, notwithstanding his dismal record, is back to directing a film after a long gap of 10 years. Bholaa Shankar is the remake of the 2015 Tamil film Vedalam, which starred Ajith. Expectations for the film plunged after it was revealed that it is a remake of Vedalam. I mean, why would people be interested in a remake when the original version itself was poor. Chiranjeevi plays the title role. He works as a taxi driver in Kolkata. Similar to the auto driver...
