Kangana Ranaut on Hindi language debate after Kichcha Sudeepa and Ajay Devgn's comments: 'Whatever Ajay sir said is right'

Image
The trailer for Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film Dhaakad was released on Friday. At the press conference, Kangana was asked a bunch of questions regarding her project and the entertainment industry. She also chimed in about the ongoing debate on Hindi language that led to Ajay Devgn and Kichcha Sudeepa's Twitter spat when former asked why South language films are being dubbed in Hindi if it is not the national language. Kangana Ranaut weighed on the controversy. "There is no direct answer to this question. We are a country with a lot of diversity, multiple languages, and cultures. Everybody has a birthright to take pride in their language and their culture. I am a Pahadi, and I take pride in it," Kangana said. “If you ask me which language should be the national language, then I think it should be Sanskrit. Sanskrit is older than Kannada, Tamil, Gujarati, or Hindi. All these languages have come from Sanskrit. Then why hasn’t Sanskrit become the national language and

Box Office: Tiger Shroff starrer Heropanti 2 takes a fair opening, KGF: Chapter 2 (Hindi) crosses Rs. 350 crores

Image
6 weeks after the release of Bachchhan Paandey , finally a Bollywood film has taken some sort of a opening. Otherwise by and large it has been a sad scene with Bollywood films just not enticing audiences enough. In fact at the single screens especially it has only been south films doing well so from that perspective, at least Heropanti 2 has penetrated into the mass belts to some degree. Incidentally, both Bachchhan Paandey and Heropanti 2 are Sajid Nadiadwala productions and at least on the opening day these enticed the gentry. Of course, a bigger number would have helped the cause as Rs. 8-10 crores would have been an ideal start for the Tiger Shroff starrer. Still, the fact that it got Rs. 7 crores* on the opening day has given it come sort of a platform from where it can at least grow. This is what would decide how the five day extended Eid weekend look like. Meanwhile, Runway 34 struggled to get any sort of opening as merely Rs. 3.50 crores* came in. Frankly, more was expec

Now, in this report, we look at some of the benchmarks KGF 2 has accomplished in its run, in terms of box office collections. Crosses Rs. 50 cr: Being one of the most anticipated, promoted and hyped releases of recent times KGF – Chapter 2 was expected to open with a bang. However, surpassing expectations and predictions, the Yash starrer opened on a thunderous note crossing the Rs. 50 cr. mark on its first day. In fact, the film managed to rake in a staggering Rs. 53.95 cr. on Day 1 making it the all-time highest opening day grosser, as well as the all-time highest single day grosser.

Image
The Marathi historical film Sher Shivraj directed by Digpal Lanjekar released a week ago. Being a regional language release, the film saw a limited release within the state of Maharashtra.

Given the total collection of Rs. 3.25 cr. in its first week alone, Sher Shivraj which is the fourth release in the Mratha history universe looks set to enjoy another good weekend. Though the big releases will eventually steal the spotlight, the smaller Marathi venture is expected to hold steady with collections re

A Khan lead film or Kumar lead film or all kinds of big hero films, and everyone looked at me like 'why am I wasting my life.' But when you have a vision for your future, and nobody else does, they think that there is something wrong with the person." Kangana further talked about receiving calls on rejecting calls and attending award functions. She said, "I used to be amazed at them thinking that why do think that I'm wasting my life.
