Drishyam 3 Telugu OTT release halted by Madras High Court after remake’s director claims rights to Mohanlal-starrer

Published by Parlour News

There is bad news for Drishyam 3fans, as the OTT release of the film’s Telugu dub has run into legal trouble. According to Gulte, the Madras High Court has restrained the makers of Drishyam 3 from releasing the Telugu-dubbed version of the movie on OTT platforms after filmmaker Sripriya’s film production company, Rajkumar Theatre Pvt Ltd, filed a petition seeking to restrain the film’s OTT release. Drishyam 3 is written and directed by Jeethu Joseph. What did the court say? The Telugu version of the film was supposed to land on OTT platforms on June 18.

The court said, “It is to be noted that, in spite of service of private notice on them, none of the respondents has entered appearance or is present before this Court. Their names have also been printed in the cause list. In such view of the matter, there shall be an order of interim injunction, restraining the Respondents/Defendants, their servants, agents, employees, assignees, licensees and everyone claiming under or …

Akele Hum Akele Tum had ‘verbatim’ scenes from Kramer vs Kramer; Aamir Khan, Mansoor Khan defend remakes | Bollywood News

Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan has had two releases so far, but he is still waiting for his big Bollywood break, and Aamir is pinning all his hopes on his production Ek Din, which also marks the Hindi film debut of Sai Pallavi. But, Ek Din is another remake from Aamir’s production house after Laal Singh Chaddha, Sitaare Zameen Par, and many other remakes that Aamir has done in the past. Even after the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir has gone on to produce two more remakes — RS Prasanna’s coming-of-age sports dramedy Sitaare Zameen Par (remake of Javier Fesser’s 2018 Spanish film Champeones) and the upcoming Ek Din (remake of Banjong Pisanthanakun 2016 Thai film One Day). But Aamir isn’t concerned about making another one with his son. “You must understand Ghajini was also a remake. So, I have nothing against remakes. I’d do it again,” argued Aamir, referring to AR Murugadoss’ 2008 Hindi blockbuster, a remake of the director’s 2005 Tamil film, which turned out to be the first member of the …

9 Remakes, 1 Record: How Prabhu Deva’s ‘accidental’ directorial debut became the most remade film in Indian history | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

21 years ago, Prabhu Deva refused to direct it, till producer M.S. Raju convinced him to step behind the camera for the first time. The budget was Rs 10 crore, the hero was a young actor most people knew from a single film, and the heroine was making her Telugu debut. Nothing about Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana suggested it was about to become the most remade Indian film in history. And then the remakes began, one language at a time, until nine different film industries made their own version of the film. Producer M.S. Raju brought in Prabhu Deva, who had choreographed the song “Nuvvostanante” in his earlier production Varsham, to direct the film, even though Deva was hesitant to take on a directorial role. Siddharth was cast after Raju admired his debut performance in Boys and wanted someone who was underexposed in the industry. The screenplay was written by Raju himself, and what he gave the film was a structure that never stayed still for too long. The story follows Santosh, a wealthy NRI raised in …

From Shalini and her sister Shamlee to Geetu Mohandas, Nazriya Nazim, Pranav Mohanlal, Manjima Mohan, Sanusha, and Arun A Kumar, there are several who transitioned from child artistes to adult actors in Malayalam cinema. Although not all of them achieved the same level of success when they began taking on mature roles, they all remain beloved to Malayalees, thanks to their notable performances as kids. Among those who left a lasting impression on audiences both as child artistes and as adult actors is Sujitha Dhanush. Interestingly, she faced the camera for the first time when she was just 41 days old and remains active in show business even after four decades. In her debut movie Abbas (Tamil), the newborn played the grandchild of legendary actor KR Vijaya. The daughter of a couple from Thiruvananthapuram, settled in Chennai, Sujitha’s parents, TVS Mani and Radha, had no connection to cinema whatsoever.

If one South remake works, let’s make another. Actually, let’s make many more. Out came Salman Khan’s Wanted, which also roared into the 100 crore club. Warner Brothers tried their hand at producing in India, and got severely burnt, because Chandni Chowk To China, starring Akshay Kumar, was dead on arrival. Zoya Akhtar makes her debut in Luck By Chance, an insider look at Bollywood’s machinations, giving brother Farhan a chance to play the lead, deftly navigating the outsider-insider nexus while being aware of its meta-ness. I remember thinking when I first watched it that it needed to have been a bit sharper, but in hindsight, to have two legacy kids lending this hard-to-get-off-the-ground project even this much edge, and with Konkona Sen Sharma playing the true outsider, given her own legacy, feels radical.

Lilo & Stitch Flops On Rotten Tomatoes—Is It Time For Disney To Stop Live-Action Remakes?

Lilo & Stitch Flops On Rotten Tomatoes—Is It Time For Disney To Stop Live-Action Remakes?

Published by Webster

Disney’s Lilo & Stitch Live-Action Bombs With Critics (Photo Credit – Instagram) Lilo & Stitch live-action remake is here to make Disney more money in its opening weekend than the original 2002 animated classic did in its entire lifetime. But does that mean the movie is good or an excuse for the House of the Mouse to capitalize on the nostalgic sentiments exuded by a somewhat gullible audience, mainland millennials who turned to the studio during its renaissance era in the ‘90s? Many have compared Disney’s half-hearted attempts to those of a babysitter rather than an animation studio. Critics formed a consensus that, despite the social media hype and social media reactions unveiled by influencers, Lilo & Stitch is another bland attempt in a long line of failed Disney remakes. The movie has accumulated mixed reviews, which, though not horrible, and its Rotten Tomatoes score illustrates it. Critics Say Lilo & Stitch Carries All the Horrors of A Bad Disney Remake Lilo & Stitch’s Rotten Tomatoes score of a mere 72%, well short of the …
