‘Ra.One was a flop in 2011, today it’s praised’

‘Ra.One was a flop in 2011, today it’s praised’

To an outsider, it may seem that a film’s box-office performance weighs heavily on a filmmaker’s mind. But Anubhav Sinha insists that a story’s commercial outcome is rarely an urgent concern for a director. Sinha, whose last release Assi earned just over R11 crore at the box office, tells mid-day that conversations around money lose relevance with time. “Years later, it doesn’t matter how much money did Satya [1998] or Chandni [1989] or a Lamhe [1991] make. Lamhe was a flop [back then]. But today, it is a hit. Ra.One was a flop in 2011,” he says. Today, however, the Shah Rukh Khan-led superhero actioner continues to draw praise, particularly for its visual effects.

Ben Affleck praised for surprisingly sharp take on AI: ‘Actually very intelligent’

Ben Affleck is being praised online for what people are saying is a surprisingly thoughtful and balanced take on the artificial intelligence revolution. During his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, the American actor challenged the hype around AI and its impact on creative fields like writing and filmmaking. Ben Affleck earns praise for his take on AI during the Joe Rogan podcast. (REUTERS) The Good Will Hunting actor said that the hype around AI is exaggerated to justify the massive investment and valuations of AI companies. Ben Affleck on AI “If you try to get ChatGPT or Claude or Gemini to write you something, it’s really sh***y. And that’s because, by its nature, it goes to the mean, to the average, and it’s not reliable,” said Affleck during his appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast. He argued that AI is unlikely to produce truly creative or groundbreaking content and cannot replace human creativity in filmmaking.

Why Abhishek Sharma’s father praised Arshdeep after India took the series lead 2-1 | Cricket News

Why Abhishek Sharma’s father praised Arshdeep after India took the series lead 2-1 | Cricket News

Abhishek Sharma has been Indian T20 batting’s brightest spot – his consistency unflailing, and his impact on wins humongous. He’s almost been as rock steady as Jasprit Bumrah as bowler through India’s numerous ups and downs. He is averaging 35 over 1080 runs, striking at 188, and above 40 when batting first. When chasing it’s 29 striking at 192, and always with a SR of 190+ in India wins. But even the most dependable batsman cannot do it all alone, and India has had to derive contributions from others to allow Sharma to do his thing. Father Rajkumar Sharma was ecstatic after his 18-ball 35 with 3 sixes (at 194 SR) helped India go past the South African target at Dharamshala and score an emphatic win.
