Chaos at the box office: Scary Movie postponed; Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Peddi, He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe face screen-sharing issues

-
The first Friday of June will see several films releasing in cinemas like Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Bandar and Ram Charan-starrer Peddi. Two Hollywood films were also scheduled for release – He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe and Scary Movie. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the latter won’t be able to make it to cinemas this Friday, June 5. An exhibitor told Bollywood Hungama, “We don’t know what the reason is for the delay. It may be due to too many films this week. Last week’s Obsession is also going strong and it’ll take up some shows. Or it could be due to censorship issues. It now remains to be seen whether Scary Movie arrives next Friday, June 12.” Meanwhile, as expected, the screen-sharing issues have cropped up between Peddi in the Hindi-speaking markets and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The former, which also stars Janhvi Kapoor, releases in cinemas on June 4. A trade source told us, “The non-national multiplexes have thrown open the bookings of Peddi. The issue ha...

Karan Johar says Shah Rukh Khan was the first man to make him comfortable with his sexuality: "He didn't make me feel lesser"

-

Filmmaker Karan Johar and superstar Shah Rukh Khan have been friends for decades. Karan addresses SRK as 'Bhai' and has worked with him on several projects. In a recent conversation, Karan opened up about his sexuality and how SRK helped him come to terms with it.

On the show Be A Man Yaar, Karan Johar said, "He was born and raised in a very progressive environment. He comes from the theatre. He had worked with all kinds of people. My parents, perhaps, weren't able to understand things. My feminine side that was coming out so strongly was only met with laughter or with being made fun of. And then when I grew a little older, people got quieter about it. But I could tell whether there was a slight chitter-chatter about the way I was walking or speaking. I remember Shah Rukh Khan was the first, kind of like, man that didn't make me feel lesser for some reason. I feel like he accepted what in those days were considered being pansy, being effeminate or walking funny. He was just so cool about anything. He even had a lot of open chats with me. Whenever I had to say the biggest thing about my personality and sexuality, I spoke to him first. He was that one sense of support. Even he doesn't realise what he's been to me."

"It's what he didn't say. It's what he didn't bring up. It's what he normalised, that I sat funny or walked funny. Whenever I said campy things, he laughed. He would hang out with me, laugh with me. It isn't what he said, it's what he didn't say. It's all that matters," Karan added.

Meanwhile, Karan Johar last directed Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly among others. ALSO READ: SCOOP: Sunny Deol to return on Karan Johar’s Koffee with Karan after nearly 20 years

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...
