Dabangg 2 Second Sunday Box Office Collection 20.95 cr nett. Good.

December 31, 2012 | 14
Dabangg 2 has collected around 9.25 crore nett on 2nd Sunday at the box office. Actual may vary. Dabangg 2 total collection after 10 days is around 127.65 crore nett mark. Very Good. Dabangg 2 registered a big jump of around 40% on average from 2nd Saturday. Jump is even more praiseworthy as there is a Cricket Match for whole day.

Occupancy was excellent specially for the Evening and Night shows after the match. Overall occupancy for the day was around 50% on average. Dabangg 2 is on course to be the 2nd biggest grosser of the year in quick time. But ETT lifetime record looks a good distance right now.

My Most Awaited Bollywood Films Of 2013!

December 31, 2012 | 17

Most Awaited

INKAAR: Contemporary films are always welcome, especially from seasoned directors. Sudhir Mishra’s Inkaar, dealing with sexual harassment at workplaces, seems immensely interesting from the promos and the poster and Arjun Rampal and Chitrangda Singh’s sizzling chemistry will make for a great watch hopefully.

RACE 2: Race was one of the best suspense thrillers to have come out of Bollywood. No wonder that Race 2 is being hugely awaited. The promos lacked the Race-type factor and so did the songs. But with Abbas-Mustan at the helm of affiars and talented and glamorous stars comprising the principal cast, here’s hoping Race 2 turns out to be as good or even better than part 1 in terms of action, glamour, humour and most importantly, suspense!

DAVID: A well-edited and presented promo can go a long way in creating excitement for a film, even if the movie doesn’t boast of A-listers. David confirms this fact and its first look trailers have blown away the viewers. Its director Bejoy Nambiar showed his brilliance with Shaitan and with David, he seems to have gone a step higher. Neil Nitin Mukesh looks dashing in a role that reminds one of his smashing debut film, Johnny Gaddaar. Tabu, Chiyaan Vikram, Isha Sharvani and others form the rest of the cast.

I’d beat the Delhi rapists to death with my bare hands-John Abraham

December 31, 2012 |

http://cdn.epaper.dnaindia.com/EpaperImages//Mumbai//31122012//31122012-md-ente-3-26959-1-small.jpg

As told to Aakanksha Naval-Shetye (DNA; December 31, 2012)

 

I have never ever endorsed capital punishment in my life. But I think these rapists deserve to die. And if it were to me, I’d probably beat them to death with my bare hands. I worry that I may end up taking the law in my own hands if I see any woman being sexually harassed in front of me. I really fail to understand how many innocent souls should be lost to such rapists before the government takes the issue of safety for women seriously. I am appalled and I just don’t have the words that can convey the anger I am feeling about what happened. I am so distraught that I actually feel like crying. I had read somewhere that we are mere inhabitants and not civilians and I agree. I am angered, embarrassed and ashamed of what is happening in our country. I was recently in Kochi shooting for Madras Cafe, and there were a couple of foreigners on the sets. They said they won’t visit Delhi as they don’t want to be raped. The system needs to realise that women’s safety is not an option, it’s a basic right. Stricter laws and fast justice are the need of the hour. Self-empowerment for women is important, but we cannot shrug away our responsibility to ensure that women around us are protected. They need not be our family members, or acquaintances, but we are humans and should behave like one.

Apoorva Lakhia saves David Dhawan’s life

Pc0290600 Apoorva Lakhia saves David Dhawan’s life

It was a close shave for David Dhawan at Bunty Walia’s wedding reception on Friday night. The filmmaker, who had forgotten to eat the mandatory sweet food article after his insulin injection, collapsed at the party. Help came from unexpected quarters in the form of Apoorva Lakhia, who rushed Dhawan to Lilavati Hospital in the nick of time.

Back home on Sunday morning, Dhawan told Mirror, “Apoorva was wonderful. My family and I can’t thank him enough for what he did.“ Reliving the Friday nightmare, he said, “I went to Bunty’s party after taking my insulin injection for my diabetic condition. But I forgot to take the compulsory sweet thereafter. Four to five hours passed and my stomach was empty. Suddenly, I started shivering and broke out into a sweat. My wife arrived after ten minutes. In the meantime, I was fed some chocolate. At Lilavati tests were done immediately. All is well now.“

Strangely, no one other than Apoorva and Kunal Kohli came forward to help that night. Apparently, they were too shocked to react at Dhawan’s sudden collapse. Needless to say, Dhawan has a lot to thank Apoorva for. We hear his two sons will be personally visiting Apoorva to thank him for saving their dad’s life. Just as well…

December 30, 2012 | 24

“I am so sorry that I am a part of this society and culture”, and “I am so sorry that I am a man”, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan said on Saturday following the death of a 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist who was brutally gang-raped and tortured in the national capital.

“(1) We couldn’t save you but what a big voice you have, you brave little girl. That voice is telling us that rape is not an aberration, not a mistake,” Shahrukh Khan tweeted.

“(2) Rape embodies sexuality as our culture and society has defined it. I am so sorry that I am a part of this society and culture.

“(3) I am so sorry that I am a man. I promise I will fight with your voice. I will respect women so that I gain my daughter’s respect,” added Shahrukh Khan, father to two children – son Aryan, 15, and daughter Suhana, 12.

Raped at eight, hers is a lonely battle

December 29, 2012 | 3

Hyderabad: At 16, Sonal (NOT her real name) has few friends, does not attend school in Hyderabad and does not meet any relatives other than her parents and brother.

When she was eight, she was sexually assaulted by a relative. Her parents – financially weak and dependent on social support from relatives – ignored advice and warnings to accept a financial settlement from the alleged rapist. They were determined to get justice for their daughter.

It has been a stark and lonely fight. Taunts by other children forced Sonal to leave school. Her neighbours won’t let their children interact with her because they say as a “loose character” she could be a “bad influence on their child”.

“My daughter’s life and ours was ruined. We are fighting for justice. Why isn’t anyone helping us? Neither the government nor anyone else?” asks her mother in the two-room rented home where they live.
