Amala Paul and Jagat Desai ring in their ‘first meet’ anniversary, celebrating it with their son’s two-month birthday

Amala Paul and Jagat Desai are among the most beloved pairs in South cinema. They are proud parents to a son named Ilai. Recently, the couple celebrated the anniversary of their first meeting with a cozy gathering at home. To make the occasion even more special, they also celebrated their son Ilai’s two-month birthday.

On her Instagram account just a while back, Amala Paul dropped a bunch of photos that featured her husband Jagat Desai and their son, Ilai. The happy parents enjoyed the twin celebrations at home by cutting a yummy cake and cuddling their baby boy. Moreover, Amala and Jagat even posed together candidly for the camera.

Along with the pictures, Amala penned a caption. Expressing her happiness on the twin occasions, she wrote, “Our first Meet anniversary and Ilai’s two months celebrated together 11-08-24.”

For the unversed, Amala Paul married the entrepreneur Jagat Desai in 2023. About a year later the couple embraced parenthood with the birth of their son Ilai. 

Interestingly, Amala Paul has been one such actress who has been able to perfectly balance her role back home as a mother as well as a popular actress in cinema. However, she often becomes a victim of criticism from naysayers. 

For instance, during the promotion of her film Level Cross at St Albert’s College in Kochi, the diva grabbed attention for wearing an apparently revealing outfit. Well, she simply wore a black LBD with a deep neckline.

In the wake of the criticism that came her way for her alleged inappropriate dressing sense, Amala, during a press conference instead pointed out how it was the angle of the camera which was inappropriate. 

She further said, “I wore what was comfortable for me. My dress was not inappropriate for the function. What was probably inappropriate was the way the camera projected my attire. I have no control over that.”

On the work front, Amala Paul was last seen in the Malayalam psychological thriller  film Level Cross which was directed by debutant filmmaker Arfaz Ayub. The film released theatrically on July 26, 2024 and received mediocre response at the box office.

Up next, Amala would be a part of the film Dvija co-starring Neeraj Madhav.

Javed Akhtar confirms reunion with Salim Khan for ‘ek picture’; says ‘iss zamane mein toh bohot hi zyada…’

The trailer for the documentary series Angry Young Men was released on August 13, 2024. The series focuses on the legendary writer duo Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, celebrated as one of the most iconic pairs in Indian cinema. Their collaboration, which began in the 1970s, transformed Bollywood with groundbreaking scripts and memorable dialogues. Now, four decades since their last project together, Javed hinted at the trailer launch that the duo might reunite for one more film and also mentioned that the prices would be higher than before. 

During the trailer launch, Akhat stated, “We are going to write now. I have spoken to Salim, ek picture hum aur likh de. Uss zamane mein bhi humari price zyada thi, iss zamane mein toh bohot bhi zyada hogi. Woh dekh lijiyega. (we will write one more film. Even back then, our price was high, and in today’s time, it will be even higher. Just wait and see.) 

Check out the trailer here: 

A 2:43 mins trailer showcases real-life chronicles of the legendary writer duo Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar. The clip opens with Salman expressing unprecedented “nervousness,” followed by remarks from Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, Aamir Khan, Shatrughan Sinha, Jaya Bachchan, Yash, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Karan Johar and others, who discuss the legendary writers.

During the interaction, Zoya mentioned that the duo worked on 24 films, with 22 of them being blockbusters. Salim, in a light-hearted comment, expressed his belief that after watching their work, Hollywood should be calling him to say they were short of stars. Aamir Khan elaborated on their significance, noting that people would flock to watch films simply because of their names. 

Akhtar also discusses the reactions they encountered when people were astonished by the writers insisting on receiving their credits. The docuseries will explore the journey of the legendary writers, highlighting their work on iconic films. 

Salim-Javed, celebrated for their work on classics like Deewar, Sholay, and Zanjeer, revolutionized the action genre with their incisive and impactful storytelling. Their partnership not only shaped cinematic history but also inspired numerous writers and filmmakers.

Their significant box office successes include blockbusters that set new standards for storytelling and dominated the Indian film industry during their time. Angry Young Men will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on August 20, 2024.

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Lifetime Box Office: Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer reaches fag end of theatrical run; Grosses a devastating Rs 14 crore worldwide

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha directed by Neeraj Pandey and starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Saiee Manjrekar, Shantanu Maheshwari and Jimmy Shergill is at the fag end of its disastrous theatrical run. The movie will be out of all theatres across India in just 13 days and that is tragic. Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha‘s lifetime collections will be in the Rs 9 crore net range (Rs 10.80 crore gross) despite incentivising of tickets and that’s devastating for a film with such a credible cast and such an acclaimed director.

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Ends Its Worldwide Collections With A Gross Of Just Rs 14 Crore

The film’s numbers internationally paint an even sorry picture as it has managed to only collect around 400 thousand dollars (Rs 3.35 crore gross). The worldwide total of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is around Rs 14 crore gross and the worldwide producer share after the treatment of the incentives will be just around Rs 5 crore. Rs 5 crore is just a half of the print and advertising expenses of the film. In short, releasing the film in theatres was costlier than not releasing the movie at all. If at all Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha has done something, it is to affect the credibility of those associated or involved with the film.

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Is A Major Loss-Making Proposition For Everyone Associated

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha was modestly budgeted but the involvement of Ajay Devgn and Neeraj Pandey, who share a combined worth of Rs 80 crore per film, made the project bigger. Estimating Rs 150 crore to be the budget of the film including Ajay Devgn and Neeraj Pandey’s assumed remuneration, the publicity and advertising, and the interest on money invested, the movie is a major loss making proposition as the combined theatrical and non-theatrical recoveries won’t come anywhere close to matching the budget. The losses are in the north of Rs 60 crore even in the most optimistic scenario.

Ajay Devgn’s 2024 So Far Has Been A Mixed Bag; High Hopes Are Pinned On Singham Again And Raid 2

Ajay Devgn, after a massive hit in the first quarter with Shaitaan, has delivered a disaster each in the subsequent quarters. Maidaan is among the biggest disasters in terms of losses and Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha doesn’t lag much behind. There is hope that Singham Again and Raid 2 will do very well at the box office and help the actor finish his turbulent year on a high note.

About Auron Mein Kahan Dum

The story of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha runs parallelly in two different timelines: one in 2001 and one in the present day, that is 2024. Krishna (younger version played by Shantanu Maheshwari, older version played by Ajay Devgn), who had been jailed for the alleged murder of 2 civilians, is all set to be released from jail after 22½ years. He is afraid to step out since he doesn’t know whether he wants to see his old love Vasudha (the younger version played by Saiee Manjrekar, the older version played by Tabu) outside the jail on the day of his release or not.

Gradually, we understand the kind of relationship Krishna and Vasudha shared and how they ended up being lovers who were circumstantially torn apart. Watch Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha to learn what went behind Krishna’s arrest and how Vasudha spent her life waiting for Krishna.
