Is Obsession getting more shows impacting Main Vaapas Aaunga, Bandar and other Hindi releases? Trade experts weigh in

Published by Parlour News

The success of the Hollywood horror film Obsession has become a case study in world cinema, but in India, it has had an adverse effect on Hindi films. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently called out how theatre chains have been giving more shows to Obsession over Hindi releases, including his film Bandar and films releases the past Friday – Main Vaapas Aaunga, Governor and others. Obsession is running with more shows than new Hindi releases like Main Vaapas Aaunga We spoke to trade experts on how this move impacts Hindi film industry and the business at the box office, and the consensus is that it boils down to what the audience wants. Trade analyst Komal Nahta says, “Nothing is coming in the industry except bad content. If Anurag Kashyap thinks it is because of Obsession that Bandar is not doing well, he should see the collections. Bandar is not doing well even otherwise, so the number of shows isn’t going to make a difference. Critical acclaim is not the same as the box office, and when …

During a routine training session, I was chasing the ball at my usual pace when, all of a sudden, my breathing became unusually heavy. Within moments, it turned into a harsh bout of coughing, and the breathlessness kept getting worse. I had never experienced anything like it before, and for a while, I could not understand what was happening to my body. A visit to the doctor brought some …

In shooting, where success depends on precision, calm and fine motor control, weather can quietly become the biggest opponent. At one level, the impact is uneven. Ten-metre events are conducted indoors, so the effects are limited. But in outdoor disciplines like 25 and 50 metres, conditions play a decisive role. Winters, especially in northern India, bring their own …

Under the executive orders signed on February 1st, Canada and Mexico will face a 25 percent tariff, while goods from China will be subject to a 10 percent tax. Energy resources from Canada will also have a lower 10 percent tariff. Trump positioned the tariffs as a way to “halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the United States,” referring to fentanyl. The change will have a big impact on the cost of a wide variety of goods imported from each country, including electronics, produce, clothing, and much more.

“There is no `EV mandate,’” Harris said in a statement, “but Trump’s move to repeal existing standards and federal investments would be a huge blow to the U.S. auto industry – and bad news for American drivers. Fat-cat oil executives are the only ones cracking open the champagne about this one. “Still, this is not the end of this story. The administration will need to follow the facts and the law in making any changes to the electric vehicle incentives or the federal vehicle standards and state waivers. Our lawyers are watching.

Are OTT platforms impacting releases of movies like Chiyaan Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran and Mohanlal’s Thudarum? REPORT

Published by Parlour News

Chiyaan Vikram’s movie Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 is slated to release on March 27, 2025, after initially being announced as a release in January. Now, a report claims that the decision to postpone the film hitting the big screens was based on the OTT platforms it may potentially be streamed. In a recent report by industry tracker Sreedhar Pillai, it was claimed that the Chiyaan Vikram starrer decided to postpone its release to March due to the OTT rights being sold. As per the report, a leading streaming platform agreed to buy the rights to the film’s post-theatrical streaming if only it was released in the last week of March. Apparently, this led to the movie postponing the release to the end of March. Similarly, Mohanlal starrer Thudarum was initially announced by the makers to be released on January 30, 2025. However, recent speculations indicate that the movie would likely postpone its release to the month of May. The makers are reportedly eyeing this option as the movie is yet to sign its OTT …
