'It is not a spa': Paresh Rawal slams luxury culture in multiplexes. Calls out reclining seats, high ticket prices amid 'Hera Pheri 3' comeback
In a candid podcast interview, Paresh Rawal confirmed his return to Hera Pheri 3 while sharply criticizing Bollywood's current trajectory. He expressed concern over overpriced multiplex tickets, indulgent recliner seating, and filmmakers' failure to evolve with viewers' refined tastes. Urging sincerity in storytelling, Rawal called for cinema that serves the people—not just the privileged. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Too Pricey for the People? 'It's a Film, Not a Spa!' Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The Content Disconnect Hera Pheri 3: No Room for Complacency Upcoming Line-Up Just as fans of Hera Pheri breathed a sigh of relief after Paresh Rawal confirmed his return to the iconic franchise, the veteran actor took a break from comedy to get real. In a fiery and unapologetically candid conversation on The Himanshu Mehta Show , Rawal didn't mince words as he called out some of the most glaring issues in Hindi cinema today—from bloated ticket prices to the bizarre luxury experience of watching a film while nearly lying on the rising costs of watching a film, Rawal lamented how cinema outings have become inaccessible for the middle class. Using an everyday example, he pointed out that a family of five could easily shell out ₹5,000 to ₹6,000 for one movie night—without even being guaranteed satisfaction from the film itself. Add popcorn, ice cream and soda to the mix, and the cinema seems less like entertainment and more like a luxury.'If the aam janta shuns your film and only the rich class endorses it, then it's wrong,' Rawal said, pointing to the disparity between the content offered and the price being paid. He applauded South Indian cinema for sticking to a more structured pricing system, where ticket prices rarely go beyond ₹200, making entertainment accessible and the actor saved his sharpest barbs for the 'Gold Class' experience—recliner seats, pillow-laden lounges, and waiters wandering around mid-scene with snack trays. 'You are supposed to watch a film while sitting, not lying down. You haven't come to a spa, you've come to see a film!' he quipped, clearly unimpressed by the 'platinum-plus' upgrades now being passed off as standard the kind of wit only Paresh Rawal can deliver, he said, 'Waiters keep roaming around. We have to tell them 'hatt, hatt!' Arre it's a film, not a wedding event!' His critique was less about comfort and more about distraction and dilution of what going to the movies used to also pulled focus to a much deeper issue—the disconnect between Hindi filmmakers and the audiences they're trying to reach. The post-pandemic OTT boom , according to him, has refined viewer tastes, exposing them to high-quality narratives from across the world. 'The audience has evolved, but filmmakers haven't,' he said, making a strong case for content that meets contemporary expectations rather than resting on the laurels of star power and this critique, Rawal's confirmation of Hera Pheri 3 was a silver lining for fans. However, he offered a thoughtful reminder to the team: when something is deeply loved, it must be handled with care. 'You can't take things for granted,' he said, adding that while he's excited to reunite with Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty , the team must work sincerely to give audiences what they truly rumours had hinted at Rawal's exit from the film, but he clarified that all differences had been resolved. 'It's all sorted—nothing happened,' he stated, bringing much-needed clarity to months of from Hera Pheri 3, Rawal is also gearing up for his next release, Nikita Roy , the directorial debut of Kussh S Sinha. The film, which also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Arjun Rampal, has now been postponed to July 18. He also has projects like Bhooth Bangla, Welcome To The Jungle, and Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi in the pipeline.

This actress flew 8,849 miles to marry Salman Khan after watching Maine Pyar Kiya; later dated him for eight years; Her name is…
Somy Ali, a former Pakistani-American actress, writer, filmmaker, model, and activist, recently offered her unfiltered opinions on the three Khans of Hindi cinema—Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan—in a candid chat with IANS. Reflecting on their journey, talent, and impact, she blended praise with nostalgia, emotion, and honest critique. She flew miles just to marry him! You won't believe what she revealed about Salman Khan! Despite a famously turbulent past with Salman, Somy lauded his evolution and said, 'Salman plays angry roles so well because it comes from his real-life intensity. He was the perfect lover in Tere Naam . After watching Maine Pyar Kiya , I flew 8,849 miles just to marry him! (laughs)' She continued, 'What sets him apart is that he keeps improving with every film. His work ethic is unmatched. He can wrap a shoot at 3 AM and still hit the gym afterwards. Apart from Akshay Kumar, I haven't seen such discipline in anyone.' She further added, 'Early on, Salman's looks helped him in roles where his acting wasn't very mature. But when I watched his heartbreak scene in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam , I cried. It shows how far he's come as an artist. In my eyes, among the three Khans, Salman has shown the most growth.' Was Somy Ali in a relationship with Salman Khan? According to several media reports, Somy Ali was in a relationship with Salman Khan for eight years, from 1991 to 1999. The relationship ended due to alleged infidelity on Khan's part, according to Ali. SRK can be a hero, villain, and everything in between Calling Shah Rukh her favourite actor, she praised both him and his wife, Gauri. She said, 'I've never seen such kindness, grace and beauty in anyone as I've seen in Gauri. And it all makes sense because Shah Rukh is the same kind of person.' Elaborating on SRK's versatility, she added, 'Shah Rukh can be a villain, a hero, a revenge-driven son, or play an unusual role like in 'Darr'. Whether it's a small or lead role, he delivers powerfully. No one can do romance like him. Nothing seems impossible for him. What amazes me the most is how audiences accept him in every type of role. If I could start life all over again, I'd be ready to become his shadow, just to learn acting and become a better person.' Somy wrapped up with a nostalgic nod and said, 'I still remember watching Maine Pyar Kiya , Baazigar , and Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak . When you love Hindi films, time just flies.' Aamir reminds her of Chintu Uncle Speaking about Aamir Khan, Somy said, 'Aamir is a perfectionist. He reminds me of Chintu Uncle (Rishi Kapoor). His acting is so natural, it feels like he's not acting but talking directly to you. I've only done one photoshoot with him, but he gave off a wise, professor-like vibe. Secretly, I had a crush on him. He deserves much more praise than he receives. He's incredibly talented and a genuinely good human being.'
