Alia Bhatt Starrer is Only 4.13 Crore Away From Beating Udta Punjab!

Alpha Worldwide Box Office Day 12 Update! (Photo Credit: Instagram/Youtube) Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor, is now aiming for a century at the worldwide box office. Shiv Rawail’s directorial is witnessing a lukewarm response. But it will soon beat the global lifetime of Udta Punjab. Scroll below for the day 12 report! Alpha Worldwide Box Office Day 12 According to estimates, Alpha stands at 92.90 crore gross at the worldwide box office in 12 days. It has amassed 56 crore net, which converted to 66.08 crore gross from India. The international circuits have collected a total of 26.82 crore gross. One expected a far better fate for a YRF spy action thriller. But the mixed word-of-mouth soon led to a crash. There’s hardly any hope left for the Alia Bhatt starrer, which may clock a century at the maximum. Inches away from Udta Punjab’s global haul In its lifetime, Udta Punjab earned 97.03 crore gross worldwide. Alpha is now only 4.13 crore away from surpassing it. But it will not …

How Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor saved Udta Punjab from collapse | Bollywood News

Ten years ago on this day, June 17, 2016, it was a rare, refreshing sight to see three A-list stars — Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt — lend their star power to Abhishek Chaubey’s crime drama Udta Punjab. Revolving around the drug menace in Punjab, the film endured a tough road to release and ultimately managed to make money, aided in part by its lead actors agreeing to halve their fees. That adjustment is unimaginable today, when star salaries continue to soar. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Chaubey revisits the film, his creative choices, and how its censorship battle is a part of its legacy. Do you remember where the first seed of Udta Punjab came from? Everything before the pandemic seems like ancient history now (laughs). But ya, I do remember meeting Sudip Sharma back in 2013. I’d already read the script of NH10, which I really liked. So, I really wanted to work with him. I had a vague idea about doing a drugs film. But it wasn’t set in …

25 years of Indian Cinema: 2016 was the year of Dangal, Fan, Udta Punjab and Pink | Bollywood News

25 years of Indian Cinema: 2016 was the year of Dangal, Fan, Udta Punjab and Pink | Bollywood News

Two sports or sports-related films, both featuring wrestling, both set in Haryana, both top-lined by superstars admitting to their age, became the top grossers in 2016. Dangal, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, and starring Aamir Khan, along with Fatima Sana Shaikh, Zaira Wasim, Sanya Malhotra, Sakshi Tanwar among others, pushed the envelope of gender empowerment, with the famously rallying line: mhari choriya choro se kam hai ke? Aamir is the strict-but-loving father going the mile for his daughters, as they train hard to become champions, and even though he gets a crucial climactic scene when the girls are doing the winning– for which the film was slammed– there is no doubt that a star fronting a film became a strong statement. Salman Khan in Sultan. Sultan, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, is that rare Salman Khan outing which actually submits to a plot. This is not just Bhaigiri, but being a character, in which he fails, falls, and gets up again, showing us the sweat and blood that goes into winning. One of Salman’s better films, …
