EXCLUSIVE: Inox R City Ghatkopar at it again; after viral Mission Impossible fiasco, theatre now cancels Khuda Gawah’s special screening: “Patrons were angry; some had come all the way from Andheri, Panvel”

-
In the post-pandemic era, there has been a renewed interest to watch re-releases or special screenings of older classics on the big screen. Hence, many such shows often get sold out or have high occupancy. And when patrons travel from one part of the city to another only to realize that the show has been cancelled, one can imagine the frustration. This is what happened on Saturday, June 14, during the special show of Khuda Gawah (1992), starring Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi, held at Mumbai’s Inox R City Ghatkopar. The show was scheduled for 5:30 PM in the 160-seater audi of Screen 7. Just around the show time, the management informed the patrons that the show had been cancelled as the content hadn’t been delivered to the cinema hall. As per reports, the show had an occupancy of nearly 90%, that is around 140-145 people were present. As expected, the patrons created a ruckus. Bollywood Hungama spoke to Sriram Jay. He revealed how things unfolded, “I had booked the tickets of Khuda Gaw...

Kiara Advani replaces Katrina Kaif; will now feature as the face of Slice

-

For the past few years, each summer the popular fruit-based drink Slice has featured none other than Katrina Kaif as its brand ambassador. However, Bollywood Hungama has now learnt that the brand has made a change. If what we hear is true, then Kiara Advani who is currently on a high with the success of Shershaah, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and JugJugg Jeeyo will be replacing Katrina as the face of the brand.

Kiara Advani replaces Katrina Kaif; will now feature as the face of Slice

Commenting on the change a source close to the brand informed Bollywood Hungama, “Katrina Kaif has been the face of the brand for a while now. However, things change, and Kiara, who has been enjoying a lot of success at the box office, has now become rather popular with the audience as well. Given this, the brand felt that re-aligning their image and position with Kiara Advani as their new face of the brand was perfect.” Ask the source for details about the TVC and he continues, “Right now, Kiara Advani has only been signed on as the brand ambassador, the TVC is yet to be shot. As per schedule, Kiara has allocated dates to shoot for the TVC next week, once completed a formal announcement of Kiara now being the brand ambassador will be made along with the advertisements being unveiled”.

Now with yet another brand name under her belt, Kiara Advani seems to be doing rather well. Back on the work front, the actress is currently gearing up for her soon-to-release film Govinda Naam Mera followed by the Kartik Aaryan starrer Satyaprem Ki Katha and the Telugu film with Ram Charan tentatively titled RC15.

A lot of Bollywood films have re-released off late but when it comes to Hollywood, a handful of classics have had a re-run in cinemas.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
