The 200 Crore Box Office Club: Tiger Shroff youngest to enter, followed by Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh & Kartik Aaryan

Nov 13, 2024 · 3:23 PM Blog

When it comes to big box office clubs, we often think of A-listers from the 90s who are still ruling the industry. However, there are many new-gen actors who have not only proved their acting abilities but also succeeded at the box office. Be it Ranbir Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao hitting into the Rs 500 crore club, or Kartik Aaryan marching into the Rs 200 crore club, here’s taking a look at the top 4 youngest actors to breach the Rs 200 crore club in India.

Tiger Shroff is hands down the youngest actor to enter the popular Rs 200 crore club. His two-hero spy action drama War was released in 2019 when he was 29 years old. Thanks to the superlative word-of-mouth, the Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff movie netted around Rs 292 crore in India and ended up being a blockbuster.

Besides the Baaghi actor, it’s Vicky Kaushal, who was just 31 years old when he broke through into the Rs 200 crore club. His 2019-released movie Uri: The Surgical Strike was a mayhem at the box office. The Aditya Dhar-directed movie collected Rs 244 crore net in its full run in India, emerging as a Super Blockbuster. Before URI: The Surgical Strike, Vicky Kaushal was also a part of the Rs 300 crore club movie Sanju, where he played an extended cameo role.

Ranveer Singh is the third-most youngest actor to enter this coveted club, not once but twice. The immensely talented actor breached the Rs 200 crore club with his 2018 released movies, Padmaavat and Simmba. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie was the first one to release in cinemas and it ended up collecting Rs 282 crore net in India. When these two movies were released, Ranveer Singh was 33 years old. Interestingly, he is the only young actor to give back-to-back two Rs 200 crore net grossers in a single year.

Kartik Aaryan is the latest entrant into the Rs 200 crore club. His movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 crossed this milestone on its 13th day of release, and it is still running successfully in cinemas. The 33-year-old actor becomes the fourth youngest actor to breach this coveted club after Tiger Shroff, Vicky Kaushal, and Ranveer Singh.

Besides the above-mentioned actors, Ranbir Kapoor was 36 years old when he entered this popular club with his 2018 released movie, Sanju.

Tom Brady Admits He "Screwed Up" as a Dad

Nov 13, 2024 · 3:23 PM Blog

Tom Brady, retired NFL superstar, has acknowledged that parenting hasn’t always been his strong suit. In a recent conversation, Brady shared his reflections on fatherhood and admitted he’s made mistakes while raising his three children: Jack, 17, whom he shares with Bridget Moynahan, and Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

Speaking at the Fortune Global Forum in New York City on Nov. 12, Brady confessed that “being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have,” admitting he’s “screwed up a lot” in his journey as a father. The 47-year-old emphasized that he doesn’t claim to be a parenting expert, but strives to be “dependable and consistent” for his kids. He also shared that he encourages them to pursue their passions, a value instilled in him by his own parents, Galynn and Thomas Brady, who supported his dreams from a young age.

Reflecting on his upbringing, Brady recalled how his parents never discouraged him, even when he was a “long shot” as a young backup quarterback. That unwavering support has shaped his own parenting approach, especially with his eldest son, Jack, who has dreams of becoming a basketball player. At 6-foot-5, Jack has his dad’s support despite a lighthearted joke from Brady about their shared low jump height. Brady said, “Whether he dunks or not, who cares? I want him to know his dad’s got his back.”

Brady also recognizes the unique pressure of growing up as the son of an NFL icon. He empathizes with the challenges his kids face, noting how they’ll have to overcome obstacles just as he did, with him supporting them every step of the way.

Brady’s reflections on fatherhood reveal his commitment to growing as a parent and supporting his children through their own journeys. As he learns alongside them, he draws on the values of resilience and support that his own parents modeled, hoping to pass those same lessons on to Jack, Benjamin, and Vivian.

“Find Your Own Identity”: Team Ajit Pawar Can’t Use Sharad Pawar Pics

Nov 13, 2024 · 3:24 PM Blog

The Supreme Court on Wednesday instructed the Ajit Pawar-led faction of the Nationalist Congress Party to refrain from using photographs or videos of party founder Sharad Pawar – from whose side Pawar junior orchestrated a split in July last year – during campaigning for next week’s election.

“Learn to stand on your own feet…” a bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan said, as it heard a plea by Pawar senior to stop his nephew using the symbol of a clock – the former undivided NCP’s logo – to represent his party in this election.

The court’s jab came after senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi said an old video of Sharad Pawar was being circulated – by the Ajit Pawar camp – and could be misunderstood as stating the two Pawars are not rivals, which would allow the nephew’s faction to pick up extra votes.

Dismissing objections by the Ajit Pawar camp, represented by senior advocate Balbir Singh, who said the video is not part of current campaign material, Justice Surya Kant said, “Whether or not it is old video… you have an ideological difference with Sharad Pawar and are fighting against him. Therefore… you should try to stand on your own legs.”

The court directed Ajit Pawar’s office to issue a circular to party leaders and workers to not use the video in question or any other photograph or video of Sharad Pawar. “Find your own identity as a separate and distinct political party…” Justice Kant said, asking for a notice of compliance.

Earlier in the hearing Mr Singhvi criticised the Ajit Pawar camp for “piggybacking” on Sharad Pawar’s popularity, particularly for 36 seats in which the two NCP factions are direct rivals.

“Voters will get confused. He (Ajit Pawar) knows he has to piggyback on Sharad Pawar’s goodwill and, as we get closer to the election, he is repeating, egregiously and blatantly, the same felony…”

“The idea (behind circulating the video of Sharad Pawar) was to show linkage… that we are one (and) when you vote for (Sharad) Pawar (you) vote for the Pawar family as a whole… that we are not divided and that Ajit Pawar is (still) close to Sharad Pawar,” Mr Singhvi argued.

He also pointed to a tweet by a lawmaker to make his point, telling the court, “The question is simple… you (the Ajit Pawar faction) are under an injunction (to not campaign using the name of Sharad Pawar) by this court… then why on earth does an MLC post my (Sharad Pawar’s) photo?”

Today’s hearing follows a protracted tussle over the clock symbol; the court had earlier said the Ajit Pawar camp could use the logo but had to declare publicly that the final ruling is pending.

Last week the Ajit Pawar camp was rapped for failing to comply with that order; the Deputy Chief Minister was given 36 hours to do so. The court took a dim view when Pawar junior’s party claimed to have issued 52 notifications but could not identify the statement in hoardings.

Use of the undivided NCP’s clock symbol has been a contentious issue in the build-up to the November 20 election, with the Ajit Pawar faction eager to shake off poor results in the April federal election.

It won just one of four seats contested. Sharad Pawar’s NCP won eight seats.

That result underlined, for many, Pawar senior’s hold on the NCP voter base, a hold his nephew must somehow crack if he is to truly step out of his uncle’s long shadow in Maharashtra politics.

Ajit Pawar broke from his uncle’s side in July 2023, leading over two dozen MLAs into the arms of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena group led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who, 12 months earlier, engineered a similar break of Uddhav Thackeray’s formerly undivided party.

Since then, the two Pawars have exchanged several sharp barbs as they jostle for the NCP’s voter base, including Ajit Pawar fielding his wife, Sunetra Pawar, from the family stronghold of Baramati in the Lok Sabha election. Ms Pawar lost to Sharad Pawar’s daughter, Supriya Sule.

The Pawar vs Pawar electoral rivalry in Baramati will renew next week after Ajit Pawar, the five-time and incumbent MLA, faces Sharad Pawar’s grandnephew, Yugendra Pawar.

Last week, in comments on the Baramati contest, Sharad Pawar seemed to play down the family vs family angle, declaring, “I have no grudge against him (Ajit Pawar) … he led you for nearly 30 years… ” but also pitching the message of a generational change in leadership.
