EXCLUSIVE: Awarapan 2 sparks distributor frenzy; Dharma, Zee Studios, AA Films and others meet Mukesh Bhatt for theatrical rights

-
Awarapan (2007) underperformed at the box office during its theatrical run but went on to achieve cult status over the years, thanks to its unforgettable soundtrack, touching storyline, memorable dramatic and action moments and, of course, Emraan Hashmi in an intense, never-seen-before avatar. As a result, the trade and industry are confident about the prospects of Awarapan 2. Last week, some of the biggest distributors in the Hindi film industry were seen at the Vishesh Films office, keen to acquire the film’s all-India theatrical rights. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “You name it and that distributor was seen at the Vishesh Films office last week – be it Zee Studios, Anil Thadani’s AA Films, Pen Marudhar, Jio Studios, Star Studio18, Cinepolis, etc. That’s not all. Dharma Productions, which now has its own distribution arm, also met Mukesh Bhatt. Lastly, Ananya Birla’s Birla Studios plans to not only produce but also distribute films in the future.

British media reported bags of cash handed over by the Sheikh of Qatar to Prince Charles

-
Prince Charles received two large full of cash from Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, who performed as Prime Minister of Qatar between 2011 and 2015. It is reported by the Daily Mail. The Prince of Wales was given €3 million in cash, with Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani handing over €1 million in a suitcase and £820,000 in travel bags. Prince Charles transferred the cash to Coutts, a private bank whose clients included Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Later they were transferred to the account of the Charitable background of Prince Charles (Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund - PWFC). Representatives of the foundation said that the legality of the actions of Prince Charles is beyond doubt. "We confirm that the former trustees of PWFC have discussed the management relationship with the donor and have confirmed that the donor is a legitimate and verified counterparty. Furthermore, our auditors have certified the donation after a special audit," Sir Ian Cheshire said. It is noted that the actions of the heir to the throne were not illegal, but receiving cash calls into question his ability to correctly assess how ethical it is to accept large sums from a foreign citizen. Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani was the prime minister of Qatar from 2007 to 2013 and is considered a good friend of the British royal family. Earlier it was reported that Kate Middleton, in camouflage, congratulated the British military on Armed Forces Day. In addition, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, addressed the congratulations to the British military on social networks. Today, June 25, a post was published in the official account of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in honor of the British Armed Forces Day.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
