Will Do Patti be the game-changer for actresses who turn producers?

While we wish Kriti Sanon the best of luck with her debut film, Do Patti, which will be available on Netflix on October 25, we can only hope that it will be the first of many game changers: a huge success among actress productions!

We say this because, thus far, there has been an alarmingly high rate of flops when women become film producers. Even the few actresses who have turned filmmakers have had a dismal track record at the box office (Simi Garewal's Rukhsat, Hema Malini's Dil Aashna Hai and Tell Me O Kkhuda, as well as the telefilm Mohini and five films directed by Pooja Bhatt from Paap to Jism 2).

There are some exceptions. The exceptions in this list are insignificant, as we will see. Reena Roy's home productions, Muqabla (1979) and Sanam Teri Kasam (1982), were both hero-driven films, whereas Juhi Chawla's co-production, Chalte Chalte, was co-produced with an actor—Shah Rukh Khan—and directed by Aziz Mirza. Yes, Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika performed similarly. Priyanka Chopra Jonas' regional films, beginning with her smash-hit Marathi début, Ventilator, were profitable, while her Hindi film, The Sky is Pink, was not.

And the Rule! The list of flops is indeed voluminous, extending from Shashikala's Karodpati way back in 1961 (which, according to the late actress, "turned us into kangalpatis or broke!"), Nargis' Raat Aur Din and Sharmila Tagore's Tyaag to the aforementioned films as well as Neetu Singh's Chorni, Raakhee's Pugli, Taaqat (1982) and Zindagani, the Madhuri Dixit home productions, Dil Tera Aashiq (despite Salman Khan!), Yaraana (1996), Mohabbat (1997) and Padmini Kolhapure productions, Dav Pech and Rockford, and (according to rumor) the Zeenat Aman-backed Baat Ban Jaye are also examples.

As is customary, many of these films were "officially" produced by frontmen such as family members, relatives, or secretaries. "But the money obviously came from the star concerned!" says one industry source.

In the millenium, Lara Dutta's Chalo Dilli (albeit a wonderful film), Raveena Tandon Thadani's Stumped!, Manisha Koirala's Paisa Vasool, and Preity Zinta's Ishqk In Paris joined the list of flops. Shilpa Shetty's Dishkiyaoon, Anushka Sharma's highly anticipated NH10, Phillauri, and Pari (after which she chose the safe, OTT route with Bbulbul and Qala), Deepika Padukone's Chhapaak, and Taapsee Pannu's Blurr and Dhak Dhak (all excellent films). As evidenced by some of the examples above, it was not necessarily necessary for the actresses to appear in all of their productions. But that didn't change the situation!

Alia Bhatt made a spectacular debut with Darlings last year, which, like Do Patti, was streamed on Netflix, raising expectations for her next (this time theatrical) co-production, Jigra. However, that film, along with Kareena Kapoor Khan's The Buckingham Murders, collapsed like a house of cards.

The Trade View According to veteran distributor-exhibitor Raj Bansal, "Actresses are not as familiar with the commercial aspects as they should be." Filmmaking is about bringing something positive to the table, and they have their own perspectives on this."

He stated that there will always be stories that no one else wants to produce, but actresses believe they can create the best film for them! "It is always content that will hold, and if that does not, no film is going to work, however big the star," stated the director.

However, Bansal emphasizes the importance of budgeting. "A film like The Buckingham Murders has recovered its investment before the release through non-theatrical avenues and so it does not really matter if collections are not good!" He makes the case. "However, the terrain should be evaluated, and the target audience should not be limited to metropolitan areas. Also, if we look closely, directors such as Hansal Mehta (The Buckingham Murders) and Vasan Bala (Alia Bhatt's Jigra) do not cater to the masses."

“Tota Roy Chowdhury’s character in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is borrowed from Karan Johar’s childhood,” reveals latter

In an interview, Karan Johar discusses the slurs he received in college for having an effeminate body language. 

Filmmaker Karan Johar has spoken up about being called names in college for having a lewd body language. The latest film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani marked Johar's return to directing, and he claimed that the event has remained in his heart ever since.

Johar claimed that he was "very effeminate" as a child and used to dance in his room to Hindi songs in an interview with Film Companion. He claimed that his father, Yash Johar, frequently observed him dancing and clapping and felt it was "great".

When he entered college, things did, however, alter. He insisted, "No one told there was anything wrong at that time. So I grew up thinking (that) this is fine. Much later when you go to college you realise when you carry that through and do those moves, and people look at you and laugh."

Then Karan Johar said, "You're called all kinds of things. There are terms used and it's still in my heart because I grew up with that feeling that I was laughed at for my body language or way of being. Somewhere Tota's character is borrowed from my childhood. When he says ‘Hunar ka koi gender nahi hota (talent has no gender)’, I believe that."

Even though Karan didn't think it was a traumatic event, he did question why other people couldn't accept him for who he was while his own father did.

For the uninitiated, Tota Roy Chowdhury portrays Rani's father, a Kathak dancer who suffers humiliation since his profession is connected to femininity. Rocky's son Ranveer soon joins him and picks up Kathak, responding appropriately to those who made him feel bad. On "Dola Re Dola," Tota and Ranveer give a solid performance.

After getting death threats, Shah Rukh Khan requests police protection and is elevated to Y+ security

After Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan has been receiving death threats, due to which Mumbai Police and the superstar’s team have jumped into action. Bollywood confronting the wrath of the mafia was a very infamous phenomenon in the 1990s, and it appears that it has returned to haunt the superstars, particularly Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. While the blackbuck case resulted in death threats for Salman and his family, the threats for Shah Rukh Khan appear to have reappeared following his phenomenal success with Jawan and Pathaan. And the actor is now protected by Y+ security.

Readers would be known that Shah Rukh Khan achieved unprecedented success in 2023, becoming the only Indian star to garner two huge blockbusters in a row. Following that, the actor appears to have approached the Mumbai police for protection, revealing that he had been receiving death threats, after which the police sprung into action and provided him with Y+ security cover, which includes six armed personnel around the clock, as opposed to his previous security, which only included two officers. After Salman Khan obtained the same security earlier this year after receiving death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang, Shah Rukh Khan is the next actor to receive it. Previously, in a post published by Sanjay Gupta, the filmmaker praised Shah Rukh Khan not just for his performance in Jawan, but also for his capacity to stand up and speak out against wrongdoing. He also recounted how, in the 1990s, Bollywood, particularly Shah Rukh Khan, faced multiple threats from the mafia, and how the superstar refused to back down. In his tweet, he stated, "I watched JAWAN. I felt obligated to share this. When the underground bullying of movie stars was at its apex in the 1990s, @iamsrk was THE ONLY star who refused to give in. "Goli marni hai mar do, tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga," he says. Pathan hoon main." He stated. He's still the same today. Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, depicts the superstar as a police officer who takes severe measures to pursue justice by assembling an army to fight the battle in the most unexpected methods.

BREAKING: Veer-Zaara to re-release in more than 600 screens overseas on November 7, making it the BIGGEST Bollywood re-release ever; Shah Rukh Khan-starrer to release in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman for the first time

Last week, Bollywood Hungama was among the first to report that Veer-Zaara (2004), starring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, will be re-released in foreign markets on November 7. Additionally, the song 'Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hai Kahaan' has been included to the print. The song was omitted during its original release, therefore this is the first time it can be experienced in its entirety on the big screen. Bollywood Hungama has recently revealed more, intriguing facts about the re-release, which will take place just 5 days before its 20th anniversary.

Bollywood Hungama has heard that Veer-Zaara will debut in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman. The producers, Yash Raj Films (YRF), have even published a poster commemorating this accomplishment.

And that is not all. A source told Bollywood Hungama that YRF has gone all out with Veer-Zaara's re-release. It will be shown on over 600 screens in international countries. This is perhaps the biggest re-release of a Bollywood film overseas."

Apart from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman, Veer-Zaara will be published in the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Africa.

Interestingly, the re-release of Veer-Zaara has sparked excitement among fans of the film. Bookings for the film in Germany began a few days ago, and the response has been positive. As a result, it will not be surprising if Veer-Zaara draws large numbers around the world this weekend.

November 2024, it appears, will be a big month for Shah Rukh Khan. On November 2, he turned 59. This will be followed by the re-release of Veer-Zaara overseas, and on November 22, his other outstanding picture, Karan Arjun (1995), will be re-released worldwide, that is, in India and foreign regions.

Veer-Zaara, directed by Yash Chopra, tells the story of a Squadron Leader in the Indian Air Force who falls in love with a young Pakistani girl while visiting India. Things take a turn when he travels to Pakistan to meet her and is detained on incorrect accusations. He spends 22 years in prison before receiving assistance from a fierce Pakistani lawyer. The epic love drama also starred Rani Mukerji, Divya Dutta, Kirron Kher, and Manoj Bajpayee, with extended cameos from Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini.
