Ranbir rides in to rescue Yash Raj Films
2008-08-16 09:05:00 Yash Raj Films was Bollywood's most powerful production house until only a couple of years ago, spawning one blockbuster after another. But its luck seems to have run out, what with only a couple of hits in recent years. The last hit from its stable was Chak De India in 2007, which coasted to box-office success on superstar Shah Rukh Khan's shoulders rather than on the banner's strength. The year before wasn't all that lucky either, with Dhoom 2 being its only hit in 2006.

Quality cinema doesn?t mean intellectual films: Amol Gupte

Before we say that we don?t have quality films that are also intellectual in nature, in Bollywood, we need to sit and quantify the quality of cinema first,? Gupte told IANS in an interview.Aamir Khan at Tare Zameen Par DVD Launch in Darsheel_s School on July 25th 2008(10).JPGGupte pointed out that ?Taare Zameen Par? (TZP), of which he was creative director, was not intellectual, but managed to win many hearts with its human touch. ?I would not say ?TZP? was an intellectual film. It was a human film that dealt with emotions. Yet people say it makes for quality cinema. I think any film that provides entertainment and has a purpose can fall under ?quality cinema?,? he said.Starring Darsheel Safary as the protagonist, the m...

Shah Rukh Khan, makes more money from television than from films Rs 75 cror
2008-05-21 16:10:00 In the mid-80s Shah Rukh Khan started on the small screen before graduating to Bollywood to become a big star. Now with the advent of satellite television, top stars are cashing in, making a lot more here than in movies and for much less effort.BELIEVE it or not, India’s number one star, Shah Rukh Khan, makes more money from television than from films. He reportedly earned Rs 75 crores (RM57mil) last year from endorsements of various products and services in television ads.This was more than what he made in fees as a Bollywood hero. From endorsing cellular phones to cellular phone service providers, King Khan can be seen marketing cars and cola drinks. And in between those ads, he appears on the small screen anchoring a much-hyped show for which he is paid a humungous amount.The actor who began his career on the small screen back in the mid-80s and successfully graduated to Bollywood to become a household name is now seen more in television commercials than on the big screen.T... |
