*Trailer Launch Event of "Srikanth - Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne" Leaves Audiences Feeling Inspired!*
_T-Series Breaks New Ground in Accessibility with Srikanth Trailer Launch: Pioneering Government's Standards for the Hearing and Visually Impaired_
The trailer launch event of T-Series and Chalk N Cheese Films' much-anticipated film, "Srikanth - Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne," held in Mumbai, had audiences feeling inspired. Present at the launch was protagonist Rajkummar Rao, along with Sharad Kelkar, director Tushar Hiranandani, and producers Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani. However, the highlight of the evening undoubtedly was the presence of real-life hero, Srikanth Bolla and his wife Veera Swathi, whose inspirational journey serves as the cornerstone of the film.
What also made this event a highlight was that T-Series took the Government initiative ahead and also played an audio trailer for "Srikanth- Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne" at the trailer launch. This came to action after the recent guidelines regarding accessibility standards in the Public Exhibition of feature films in theaters for people with hearing and visual impairments were issued by PM Narendra Modi and the I&B Ministry. This is the first time a film trailer has also been played in an audio format in a theater.
"Srikanth - Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne" promises to be an extraordinary journey, encapsulating themes of determination, resilience, and triumph. The trailer offered a tantalizing glimpse into the remarkable portrayal of Srikanth Bolla's indomitable spirit by the versatile Rajkummar Rao. The trailer not only showcases the journey of a visually impaired man but also a story of his unique character and wittiness and how he goes on to make his disability his strength and not a weakness.
Directed by Tushar Hiranandani, "Srikanth" is set to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience, offering audiences an intimate glimpse into the extraordinary life of a true hero. Alongside Rajkummar Rao, the film boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Jyotika, Alaya F, and Sharad Kelkar, each contributing their unique magic to the narrative.
Gulshan Kumar and T-Series Presents a T-Series Films & Chalk N Cheese Films Production LLP, ‘Srikanth - Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne’ is directed by Tushar Hiranandani, is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar & Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani. The film releases nationwide on the 10th of May 2024 on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya.

From Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 to Singham Again: 7 sequels releasing in 2024!
Just as 2023 was inundated with sequels (10 in all, including the Netflix Lust Stories anthology film), 2024, as of now, is set to have eight of them, plus a spin-off. As of now, as per reports, only two—Stree 2 and Raid 2—are likely to be true sequels, just like Gadar 2 and Tiger 3 last year. Last year, these sequels were crowded between June and December, but this year, they will begin from February itself. And this time, T-Series and Jio Studios are involved as producers in three movies each.
Tumblr media
Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 (earlier film in 2010) The next in the Balaji Telefilms’ bold franchise that introduced Rajkummar Rao and was Nushrratt Bharuccha’s first hit, the film was to release in February itself, but has now been postponed to April 19. Dibakar Banerjee is writer-director and co-producer again. As of now, Nimrit Ahluwalia, Anupam Joardar and the foreign actress Rossana Elsa Scugugia are the only cast known.
Singham Again (earlier films in 2010 and 2014) The iconic Rohit Shetty character of Singham will be back after Singham (that started Rohit’s Cop Universe) and Singham Returns, on Independence Day. Kareena Kapoor Khan also ‘returns’ as his wife from the latter film. Deepika Padukone is the newest (and first female) addition to Rohit’s Cops, while the other members of his Cop Universe—Simmba a.k.a. Ranveer Singh and Sooryavanshi a.k.a. Akshay Kumar will also feature here. Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and (if buzz is true) Tiger’s father Jackie Shroff will come into this patriotic saga!
Jio Studios co-produces this spectacular production. But more importantly, this is a chance for Rohit to redeem himself after Cirkus. A small point: Singham also made a mark in cameos in Simmba and Sooryavanshi, so he will be seen for the fifth time here!
Stree 2 (earlier film in 2018) The new film once again features all the five loved characters in Stree—Shraddha Kapoor in the title role, Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi and Abhishek Banerjee. Stree was the first film in the Dinesh Vijan Horror Universe, and the sequel is again directed by Amar Kaushik. This Jio Studios co-production will also be an August release.
Tumblr media
Metro…In Dino (earlier film in 2007) This year’s sequels will be known for their ensemble casts. Anurag Basu repeats only Konkona Sen Sharma from the nine lead players of Life In A…Metro, and adds Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Pritam, his constant music composer, is in again. The first film had an unusual concept and theme and its music too was employed in an unusual way. The same is expected with this T-Series Films co-production.
Badass Ravikumar (earlier film, The Xpose, in 2014) This can be called a spin-off, or a sequel with a different title! Prabhu Dheva actually plays antagonist to Himesh Reshammiya’s lead character of Ravikumar, reprised from the earlier movie. The film is also produced and co-written by Himesh and has music by him, but it also marks the all-rounder’s debut as a director!
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (earlier films in 2007 and 2022) Anees Bazmee, director of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (which netted Rs. 185 crores in India) is helming the third part of the franchise that started with Priyadarshan’s cult horror comedy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which was his last Hindi hit, in 2007. He repeats his 2022 lead pair, Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan, with Madhuri Dixit Nene, Vidya Balan from the first film in the franchise, Naseeruddin Shah and Elnaaz Nouruzi as co-star. The music for this November release is likely to be scored by the franchise’s composer, Pritam. The film is again produced by T-Series Films.
Raid 2 (earlier film in 2018) Ajay Devgn once again plays an upright Income-Tax official in this sequel to Raid (a Rs. 100 crores grosser), which is helmed again by Raj Kumar Gupta. Vaani Kapoor is the new leading lady, while Riteish Deshmukh is the antagonist. This is yet another T-Series franchise.
Tumblr media
Welcome to the Jungle (earlier films in 2007 and 2015) Ahmed Khan directs this multi-star adventure that will try and reprise the whacky mood of its predecessors. Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, child artiste Vrihi Kodvara, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade and more are in the cast, including singers Daler Mehndi and Mika Singh. Jio Studios join Firoz Nadiadwala in producing the third part in his franchise of Welcome and Welcome Back, with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal repeated from the earlier movie. What remains to be seen is whether they will be playing the same iconic characters of Rajiv and Dr. Ghunghroo, which they had done earlier, with Paresh featuring in both instalments though Akshay was only there in the first.

Blind But With A Vision: SRIKANTH - Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne!
Tumblr media
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to achieve great things despite a disability? The new movie "Srikanth" tells the true story of Srikanth Bolla, a blind entrepreneur who overcame incredible obstacles to build a successful company. Rajkummar Rao delivers a powerful performance as Srikanth, taking viewers on a journey of perseverance, determination, and the challenges of success. Many have seen apples falling from trees but the Law of Gravity occurred to Newton only! As a matter of fact, to visualize the Law of Gravity in a falling apple, one needs to utilize his brain, not eyes. Presenting Rajkummar Rao in the titular role of Srikanth Bolla: Track "Papa Kehte Hain 2.0" Featuring Jyothika, Alaya Furniturewala, and Sharad Kelkar! https://youtu.be/uN7vjc7deuA?si=IdDW3AfB__a7R7jh A blind young genius whose vision changed his destiny from a simple villager to a flourishing entrepreneur, the founder of Bollant Industries! Get ready to witness the life story, struggles, and sacrifices of a visually impaired guy in his journey to achieve his pillars of success. Produced by Bhushan Kumar and directed by Tushar Hiranandani, Bollywood brings you award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao in the titular role of Srikanth a.k.a industrialist Srikanth Bolla in an emotional and family-friendly biopic of this visually impaired genius. Srikanth (2024) Official Trailer: https://youtu.be/OMeuJP5iBWY?si=PNIsdHL6CRr-jCQ3 The Good: The narrative of Srikanth is impressive. This is an extraordinary biopic where when the titular character gets emotional, you will see the magic of tears rolling down from the eyes of the audience. Rajkummar Rao in the eponymous role has given a stupendous performance. The film completely rests on his shoulders and after seeing his acting, I must say that there couldn’t have been any other actor fit for this role. Besides, Alaya Furniturewala as Srikanth’s wife, Jyothika as his mentor, Jameel Khan as former Indian President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, and Sharad Kelkar as investor Ravi Mantra have lent massive support throughout. Bollywood spices up any movie it makes in its unique style. As such, the dialogues in Srikanth have been cooked to match up to the taste of Hindi cinema! “Main Bhaag Nahi Sakta, Sirf Lad Sakta Hun” meaning, “I can’t run, but can only fight”. Just feel the booming impact of this simple dialogue! Rajkummar Rao and Alaya Furniturewala in the beautiful romantic track “Tumhe Hi Apna Maana Hai” (I Consider You Only Mine) from Srikanth https://youtu.be/81q-l3OmVfY?si=sDssjThFgdQ5GkXV Srikanth is a truly inspiring story with a beautifully written emotional screenplay. When one loses his ability to see, he gains the superpower to visualize the world! Srikanth glorifies that by depicting the perseverance and achievements of industrialist Srikanth Bolla. The brilliant guy, despite scoring an astounding 98% in his 12th grade, was denied admission to India’s hyped technology institution, The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). He even had to file a court case as he was denied admission to study science as a subject owing to his blindness. However, he overcame every obstacle and became the first international visually impaired student to obtain a scholarship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Recyclable Waste: The Foundation of a Remarkable Success Story! https://youtu.be/aqo_Ibs40XQ?si=h2iykRKmjF3JrUwS The story of Srikanth does raise awareness among every disabled person. It doesn’t matter if destiny has physically suppressed you. Each one of us has the superpower to touch the sky, and that superpower is our determination. Srikanth Bolla’s Bollant Industries, founded in 2012, is a groundbreaking achievement that exemplifies the capabilities of the differently-abled. This one-of-a-kind company provides employment to unskilled and disabled people to create eco-friendly products. By doing so, it shows that even if a person is physically disabled, he or she has the potential and talent to be on par with normal people. The visuals in Srikanth are pleasant and captivating. What took the show away is the remixed version of the 90s era evergreen inspirational song “Papa Kehte Hain”, remastered as “Papa Kehte Hain 2.0”. https://youtu.be/-jzfRN5D0vs?si=gmQRqTCFx_Hm6y8_ The Bad: The visually impaired genius entrepreneur character of Srikanth Bolla might have won your hearts after going through his impressive endeavors. But wait! During the second half of the movie, our hero turns into a villain! Upon reaching the height of his career, he gains arrogance. He starts misbehaving with people and even misbehaves with those like investor Ravi Mantra (Sharad Kelkar). With his help, he achieves success and glory. After seeing his arrogance and bad behavior in the second half, you will lose sympathy for his character. You may even start wondering, “What an impudent person!” Does he really deserve a biopic in his honor?” I bet Srikanth might have forgotten Spiderman's popular quote, “With great powers comes great responsibility”. Truly disappointing, but that’s how the real-life Srikanth Bolla happens to be and the makers have shown exactly that in his biopic. Might be the sudden fame and wealth got a bit too much of him. https://youtu.be/djNW5-tnbfU?si=edEN_JqIeG9Os0K2 The Verdict: Overall, Srikanth is an engaging movie. The only complaint I have is that it ended suddenly. I guess certain scenes in the end got jumbled up to shorten the duration of the film while editing and that’s the reason the climax happened abruptly. By the way, this is no tragedy biopic like most biopics that I have reviewed so far. Srikanth Bolla is a 32-year-old young Indian entrepreneur who despite being blind is very much alive and affluent. He told Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam that he dreams of becoming India’s first visually impaired President. Let’s wait and see if his dream comes true because this enterprising young man has miles to achieve in the years to come. He may be blind but he will surely act as an eye-opener for all!

Bollywood Movies Part CCVIII
Tumblr media
Inspector Jatil Yadav (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) investigates the murder of the influential Raghubeer Singh (Khalid Tyabji) on his wedding night to his young second wife Radha (Radhika Apte). As Jatil investigates, he learns more about Raghubeer’s proclivities and about family secrets long left undisturbed, including the truth about the death of Jatil’s first wife (Natasha Rastogi).
CW for movie: human trafficking, rape, sexual abuse of a minor, some gore. Raat Akeli Hai is a good whodunnit that gives us a satisfying ending, while also being a love story. I enjoyed Jatil and Radha’s interactions, but I loved the performances of Shivani Raghuvanshi and Padmavati Rao as the combative Vasudha (Raghubeer’s niece) and the reprehensible Pramila Singh (Raghubeer’s sister-in-law) respectively. Ila Arun was also good as Jatil’s mother who wants him to get married. Favorite song is Ghoom Charkhya (no subtitles).
Tumblr media
Kaajal (Bhumi Pednekar) moves out from her cousin Dolly’s (Konkona Sen Sharma) place when Dolly’s husband Amit (Aamir Bashir) makes a move on her and leaves her hated factory job. To make ends meet, she starts working at an adult call center as Kitty and begins an affair with “Pradeep” (Vikrat Massey), one of her callers. Meanwhile, Dolly deals with trying to make ends meet for her and Amit’s new luxury apartment that under construction and with the backlash against her son Pappu (Kalp Shah) liking girly things.
CW: corporal punishment. Dolly Kitty aur woh Chamakte Sitare is a good film about two cousins and their lives. It does a good job talking about women experiencing sex and desire without punishing them for it. It also doesn’t shy away from showing the realities of the society they live in, but doesn’t make those realities disheartening. A great example of this is the call center and how all the women there support each other. Favorite songs are Neet Ve and Khwabida (audio only). Neither song has subtitles.
Tumblr media
Akash (Aditya Roy Kapur) goes to local crime lord Sattu Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) to help take down a sex video made of him and his ex-girlfriend Shruti (Sanya Malhotra) without their knowledge. Meanwhile, Aalu (Rajkummar Rao) tries to help the woman he loves, Pinky (Fatima Sana Shaikh), when she comes to him to help get her husband out of jail for being prime suspect in a murder Sattu Bhaiya committed. After being released from prison, Bittu (Abhishek Bachchan), Sattu Bhaiya’s former second in command, meets Mini (Inayat Verma) who has run away from home and agrees with her plan to pretend to kidnap her to get her parents’ attention. Rahul (Rohit Saraf), after being taken by Sattu Bhaiya for being near the murder, manages to get Sattu Bhaiya’s money with the help of nurse Sheeja (Pearle Maaney), but Sattu Bhaiya sends his goons after them to get his money back.
Ludo is an entertaining dark comedy that is structurally based on the board game ludo (more recognizable to Americans as Parcheesi). It was quite entertaining and funny, while also being heartwarming. I loved Bittu and Mini’s story because of how cute it was, especially when Mini prompts Bittu on how to make ransom calls to her parents. Overall, a fun romp. Favorite songs are Qismat Ki Hawa Kabhi Naram (originally from Albela), Aarbaad Barbaad, and Meri Tum Ho. None of the songs have subtitles.

The White Tiger (2021)
Tumblr media
The White Tiger might teach a dubious lesson but the fact that - even for a fraction of a second - you’d consider following in the lead's footsteps says a lot. For outsiders, it’s a compelling story (whose satyrical nature might fly over their heads). To someone living in India, it might be revolutionary.
Growing up in Laxmangarh, Balram Halwai (played by Adarsh Gourav) never finished school and watched his father die because their town did not have a doctor. As an adult, he aspires to be a chauffeur for the son of the town’s “landlord”. Being close to Ashok Shah (Rajkummar Rao) allows him to escape his village but as he becomes more worldly, he grows increasingly dissatisfied with his position.
I don’t know if the movie's poster is genius irony or false advertising. We see a smiling photo of Balram sitting down, wearing a cartoon crown while his masters Ashok and his wife, Pinky (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) place their hands on his shoulders. All that cyan and yellow makes this movie look cheery and uplifting. It isn’t.
We’re introduced to Balram’s world through a wraparound story of him writing a letter to Chinese premier Wen Jiabao (the story takes place in 2010). Balram compares the Indian underclass to roosters trapped in a chicken coop. They see other birds getting butchered but make no attempt to escape. It’s the perfect analogy because when Balram says he aspires to be a chauffeur… you assume it’s so he can worm his way into a higher circle. Actually, he’s trapped in a mindset of servitude. He never objects to the beatings and insults but slowly, you can see his blinders peel away. Now, he's ready to take advantage of someone else for a change and his persistent loyalty makes him unsuspecting. The question is whether he will realize how little everyone else cares about him early enough to escape from his cage.
Calling this “an extraordinary journey of a self-made man from a tea-shop worker in a village to a successful entrepreneur in a big city” isn’t an incorrect description, but it is misleading. You’d never guess from those words that Balram is kept in check with the knowledge that if he betrays the Shahs, Ashok’s father (Mahesh Manjrekar) will murder his entire family killed. There are a lot of shady characters in the film. Even those who are “good” make dubious choices. If former doormat Balram abuses them, you’re not going to shed any tears. It helps that Adarsh Gourav is very charismatic. I hope this is the first of many films we see him in.
Writer/director Ramin Bahrani offers the talented cast a great screenplay and they all do it justice. The film is stylish, tense, and thought-provoking. You might need to do a bit of research to overcome the cultural barrier but this is one of those movies where you won’t mind doing the extra homework. I think I’d like it even more a second time. (April 29, 2021)
