The box office failure of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan , two high-profile festival releases from Bollywood, has had a cascading effect on the exhibition sector, say theatre owners impacted by the poor showing of the movies. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan , starring big stars like Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff and Ajay Devgn, respectively, were released during the festival of Eid, a traditionally good period for theatrical releases, but failed to live up to expectations. Bihar-based exhibitor Vishek Chauhan said the situation is “alarming” in the first and second quarters of the financial year. “An exhibitor earns money when a film runs houseful. Almost 90 per cent of the business is down. This year has been a complete washout. Exhibitors are in red. The cost of running a cinema hall daily comes to around Rs 30,000. To just break even, we need sales of Rs 1 lakh but currently, the sales are ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000. So, you can imagine what the situation is like,” Vi...

How much pain can one endure to relish a sunrise in an independent nation? The new song Azadi from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-awaited series Heeramandi encapsulates the indomitable spirit and resilience of the Lahore-based courtesans who will go to any extent to ensure a free nation. The video begins with a voiceover by Sonakshi Sinha saying, " Aap aur hum mit jaye, hume koi gham nehi. Par Heeramandi ki wajood mit jaye, yeh hume manjoor nehi (If you and I die, I won't have sorrow. But if the entity of Heeramandi gets extinct, I won't tolerate it)." The song documents the tumultous time during a freedom movement where the Heeramandi courtesans are at war with the British soldiers. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's aesthetic grandeur captures the beauty of the scene in which the courtesans lead a march as torch bearers. The song ends on a heart-wrenching note where a captive Aditi Rao Hydari can be heard shouting a slogan of Azadi in unison with her other mates, wa...
