Are paid previews back in Bollywood, with Bhooth Bangla opting for them after Dhurandhar The Revenge? Experts react

Published by Parlour News

This Thursday is set to see the return of one of Bollywood’s most formidable director-actor jodis- Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. With the release officially set for Friday, it’s the paid previews which begin from Thursday evening onwards, 9pm to be precise at most screens. Dhurandhar The Revenge, Bhooth Bangla Paid previews used to be a staple of the industry pre-Covid. A film conventionally releases every Friday, but paid previews allow a film to start garnering buzz an evening prior to the D-day. Many blockbusters, such as Stree 2 (2024) and Chennai Express (2013) in the past held paid previews, which not only catered to fan demand, but also raised massive hype, contributing to a big day 1 total the next day. However, post Covid, only a handful of films- Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2 ( ₹9.40 crores) and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar The Revenge opted for paid previews. Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG grossed ₹23 crores. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh says, “Paid previews used to happen very regularly earlier, for the keenly awaited films. Dhurandhar brought …

End Of Rohit Sharma, The Test Cricketer? What ‘Opting To Rest’ From Do-Or-Die 5th Test vs Australia Means For India Star Future

Published by Webster

Is Rohit Sharma‘s journey as an Indian cricket team Test star over? After he ‘opted to rest’ (in stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah’s words) from the India vs Australia 5th Test in Sydney, all indications point towards one direction: We may have seen the last of Rohit Sharma in India Test whites. From the time India coach Gautam Gambhir remained non-committal about the place of Rohit Sharma in India playing XI in the pre-match press conference on Thursday morning, the rumours had started gathering pace. By evening, sources told NDTV that Rohit Sharma would be rested and Jasprit Bumrah would be the captain. On Friday morning, all rumours were officially confirmed. Rohit Sharma is one of the first sitting India captains to be dropped on account of poor form. His abysmal return of 31 runs from five innings in Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy ultimately became his undoing. Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Anil Kumble walked into Test retirements mid-series as their bodies could no longer take the rigours of the longest format. However, …

Two changes, Rohit has opted to rest and Akash Deep is injured so Prasidh comes in,” Jasprit Bumrah said at the toss. “We’ve played some really good cricket in this series.

IPL Auction: Opting for rebuild, strong attack and middle-order headlines RCB new-look squad | Cricket News

It was a strange couple of days for Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the auction table in Jeddah. With their head coach Andy Flower getting a clear look at the team last season, they wanted to start fresh as it was evident when they retained only three players in Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal. And after two days of intense bidding, this is how their squad looks: Batsmen Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Tim David, Manoj Bhandage, Devdutt Padikkal, Swastik Chikara. Wicketkeepers Phil Salt, Jitesh Sharma. All-rounders Liam Livingstone (spin), Krunal Pandya (spin), Swapnil Singh (spin), Romario Shepherd (pace), Jacob Bethell (spin), Mohit Rathee (spin). Spinners Suyash Sharma, Abhinandan Singh. Fast bowlers Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal (retained), Rasikh Salam, Nuwan Thushara, Lungi Ngidi. First impression At times it was hard to understand what RCB were up to, especially when they let go off KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. Getting one of them would have definitely added more strength to their local talent. And strangely, they didn’t even use the …
