As Ramayana faces capacity issues, cinemas add UNBELIEVABLE number of midnight shows amid Diwali rush; fans can watch Ranbir Kapoor-Yash starrer even at 4:50 am!
November 9, 2026 at 10:12PM

The craze for Ramayana seems to be reaching another level as the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer has started getting an unusually high number of post-midnight shows in several cities. Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad, in particular, are witnessing an extraordinary demand for the mythological epic. Usually, shows between 12:00 am and 6:00 am are added during the first weekend of a big-ticket release, especially when advance bookings are phenomenal and theatres struggle to accommodate the demand. However, Ramayana has followed a different trajectory. The film was released on Thursday, November 5, just ahead of Diwali. The pre-Diwali period traditionally sees subdued footfalls as many moviegoers are occupied with shopping, preparations and festivities. As a result, a significant section of the audience was unable to catch the film during its initial days. Now, with the holiday season kicking in, audiences are heading to cinemas in huge numbers. This has created capacity issues at several proper...

Delhi High Court rules Doosra infringed Sourav Ganguly's personality rights, directs makers to deposit Rs. 2 crores
November 7, 2026 at 01:40PM

The Delhi High Court has ruled that the film Doosra infringed upon former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly’s personality and publicity rights. In its directions, the Court has ordered the film's makers, Ramesh Deo Productions Private Limited, to deposit Rs. 2 crore and display disclaimers in both Hindi and English at the beginning and end of the film. The ruling comes in connection with a lawsuit filed by Sourav Ganguly along with Luv Films over the unauthorised use of his identity and life events in the film. The Court has also restrained the makers from releasing Doosra on OTT platforms or through any other medium. According to the Court's observations, elements of Ganguly's personality and incidents from his life are closely connected to the film's narrative. This makes it difficult to remove the portions in question from the final cut. The Court, therefore, directed the makers to include prominent disclaimers to clarify the nature of the film's association...

November 6, 2026 at 05:53PM

Bollywood Hungama has been at the forefront of reporting developments surrounding Salman Khan’s much-awaited Maatrubhumi. The film was initially announced as Battle Of Galwan before being rechristened Maatrubhumi earlier this year. Based on the 2020 conflict between India and China, the film reportedly encountered hurdles over its content and references to China, especially in light of the improving diplomatic relations between the two countries. Recently, we reported a major development wherein the film reportedly received clearance from the government. Yesterday, we further mentioned that earlier, Maatrubhumi’s makers were planning to release the film on November 13. But since there was a delay in getting a censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification, Maatrubhumi’s makers are now eyeing a release on either November 20 or December 11. We have now learned that the release date of Maatrubhumi has been locked. The Salman Khan starrer will release in cinemas this mont...

Gaiety-Galaxy made stars feel like SUPERSTARS; where are they now? Bollywood's RADIO SILENCE raises eyebrows as Manoj Desai pays FULL salaries despite ZERO revenue for 2 months
November 6, 2026 at 03:00PM

On November 7, it will be exactly two months since Mumbai's iconic cinema complex, G7 multiplex, popularly known as Gaiety-Galaxy, shut its doors. What began as a minor dispute escalated after the police intervened. According to reports, during the course of their investigation, the police also examined the theatre's documents and discovered that its license had not been renewed since 2021-22. As a result, the authorities directed the management to shut down the premises over non-compliance. Many expected the theatre to resume operations within a week or two. However, what has astonished film lovers and industry members alike is that nearly two months have passed, and the issue remains unresolved. Gaiety-Galaxy has always been synonymous with the quintessential big-screen experience, where audiences whistle, clap, cheer and hoot to their hearts' content, especially during mass entertainers. Two such films, Drishyam The Conclusion and Jailer 2, were released last month, but...

November 6, 2026 at 01:33PM

After the record-breaking success of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge, Ranveer Singh has begun shooting for Pralay. However, the film has already landed in controversy after permission was granted to shoot at Mumbai’s iconic Azad Maidan, triggering a tussle. As per a report in Mumbai Mirror, the Government of Maharashtra’s Sports Department granted the makers of Pralay permission to shoot in Azad Maidan for six hours. This angered the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) as it disrupted the schedule of Under-14 and Under-16 interschool cricket matches. The report further claimed that due to Pralay’s shoot, the MCA was compelled to postpone the matches even though it was planned in advance. The Mumbai Mirror report also revealed that this is the first time a film shoot has been permitted at Azad Maidan. The MCA has now expressed its displeasure over the decision by writing a letter to the Deputy Director of Sports. MCA Apex Council member Nadim Memon spoke to the tabloid and said, “Th...
