Saiyaara vs Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 3: Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions CLASH for the first time ever; limited shows of Mohit Suri-directorial in Gaiety-Galaxy raises eyebrows

Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions have been two of the most respected production houses of Indian Cinema and have always been each other’s support. Karan Johar started his career with Aditya Chopra; for a long time, YRF distributed films of Dharma and hence, their bond goes back a long way. Hence, both banners have never released their film on the same day. As a result, July 18, 2025, is a landmark date for films backed by these banners, which will be clashing in cinemas for the first time ever. Saiyaara, produced by Yash Raj Films, will be released on July 18. Meanwhile, the Marathi comic caper, Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 3, also arrives in theatres on the same day. The film is presented by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla and Apoorva Mehta of Dharma Productions and is also distributing it worldwide. In fact, the Marathi film has given a tough fight to the Mohit Suri-directorial in some areas, though Saiyaara has an upper hand in terms of the advance booki...

Sooraj Barjatya reveals his golden rules while making films: "No villains, just circumstances; and exactly 14 punches!"

Sooraj Barjatya had an interesting conversation with Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day, during which he spoke about his films, his journey and also that of his production house, Rajshri Productions, started by his grandfather, Tarachand Barjatya. The films of Sooraj and also his recently released maiden web series, Bada Naam Karenge, don’t have a villain. Action also needs to be minimal, if required. Sooraj Barjatya spoke about this and also that his family follows a rule book: There can't be a (conventional) villain, and the number of punches cannot exceed 14!

Sooraj Barjatya revealed, “My father (Rajkumar Barjatya) and grandfather knew that the villain is a must. But it's best if the villain can be a circumstance so that we don’t have too much violence. In Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994), the death of the bhabhi is a circumstance. In Maine Pyar Kiya (1987), bechare ke note bheeg jaate hai. That is the circumstance. In Uunchai (2022), the protagonists want to climb the mountain and, in their case, age is a circumstance.”

As for the 14-punches rule, Sooraj said, “You know how action directors are? They can go on and on (laughs). They’ll be like ‘Aise maarenge’. They’ll go on and on until you stop them from fighting. Hence, we came up with this idea that ’14 punches ka fight chahiye; bas itna hi maarenge’!”

He further explained, “The idea was that the families should be able to see the film together. That used to be the core. At times, we have gone out and broken these rules. Somehow, they have not worked, and we keep coming up. The films that have worked for us are the ones that have stuck to these values.”

Sooraj Barjatya also spoke in-depth about making Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003) and how its underperformance brought him back to his roots.
