That's my takeaway from this film.'

Dipika Kakar's 2-Year-Old Son Ruhaan Was 'Patient' During Her Cancer Surgery
Last Updated: Dipika Kakar recently underwent a 14-hour-long surgery at a Mumbai hospital. She was in ICU for three days and is still hospitalised. Shoaib Ibrahim has revealed that his 2-year-old son, Ruhaan, was patient while Dipika Kakar was in the hospital for her cancer surgery. In one of his recent YouTube vlogs, the former shared how Ruhaan was keeping without Dipika around and shared that the toddler has been spending time with the rest of the family members at home. 'It is commendable to see that Ruhaan has been fine. It is only a blessing that Ruhaan was patient and spent three days away from Dipika. He stayed without his mother, though Ammi, Beti Khala, Riza and everyone were there at home. But I am grateful that he was fine, he cried a lot yesterday night so we got him here. He met Dipika and played with her so he went back home happy with his Nani," Shoaib said. The former Ajooni actor then expressed gratitude towards fans and added, 'I am extremely grateful to everyone who has showered blessings and prayers for Dipika. Dil se bohot bohot shukriya. Her surgery was successful and she is safe now. Her tumour is completely out. Dipika's tumour is now taken for biopsy and the reports will come in a few days. Please pray that Dipika gets completely recovered and hopefully, in a few days, Dipika will also get discharged." Last month, Dipika revealed that she is battling stage 2 liver cancer. The television star, known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, shared the heartbreaking update through an emotional Instagram note. After suffering intense stomach pain, doctors discovered a tumour 'the size of a tennis ball" in her liver, which was later confirmed to be cancerous. Following this, Dipika underwent a 14-hour-long surgery at a Mumbai hospital. She was in ICU for three days and is still hospitalised. Previously, Shoaib also shared an emotional video on their YouTube channel, calling it 'the toughest phase" of their lives while remaining hopeful about her recovery. 'Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, the scan report came out clear. The virus or its cells have not spread anywhere else in the body. Whatever is there is confined to the tumour, and once the tumour is surgically removed, Inshallah, things will get better," he said. First Published:

Thug Life box office collection day 2: Kamal Haasan film sees big drop, Hindi version wiped out by Housefull 5
Thug Life box office collection day 2: Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan's much-hyped reunion after 37 years has not quite panned out the way the two stalwarts would have hoped for. Thug Life, their new film, has opened to lukewarm reviews and is not faring too well at the box office. On Friday, the second day of its release, the film saw a major drop. (Also read: Mani Ratnam fans get nostalgic for Nayakan, Thalapathi, Guru after lukewarm response to Thug Life) According to Sacnilk, Thug Life earned ₹7.50 crore in all languages on Friday, a steep 55% drop from its opening day figure of ₹15.50 crore. This takes its two-day India total to ₹23 crore. Interestingly, Akshay Kumar's comedy Housefull 5, which released on Friday, earned that much on its opening day itself. The release of Housefull 5 was also detrimental to Thug Life's business in the Hindi-speaking regions. Billed as a pan-India film, Thug Life was heavily marketed in the north as well. However, it opened its Hindi business at a paltry ₹65 lakh. Trade insiders predict the number for day 2 to be somewhere in the ₹25-30 lakh range. This means that Thug Life may struggle to even reach ₹5 crore net in Hindi in its lifetime, a rather disappointing figure for a star of Kamal Haasan's stature. But Thug Life is not doing too great in Tamil either. Its ₹23-crore two-day haul is far below Kamal Haasan's last box office hit, Vikram. The Lokesh Kanagaraj film had earned ₹60 crore net in its first two days upon release in 2022. Even Indian 2, the box office disappointment that was released last year, had fared better, netting ₹44 crore in its first two days at the ticket window. Clearly, Thug Life has a lot of catching up to do if it wants to stay afloat. Thug Life has notably suffered due to a non-release in Karnataka following Kamal Haasan's controversial statement on the Kannada language. Thug Life also features Trisha, Silambarasan, Joju George, Ashok Selvan, Nasser, Abhirami and others. The music for the film is by maestro AR Rahman while the cinematographer is Ravi K Chandran and editor is A Sreekar Prasad.
