Kannada is ancient, living language, says Banu
Deepa Bhasthi, who won the accolades for the translation of the Kannada work into English, told reporters, 'This is a silly argument, any language for that matter does not get its status from how ancient the language is, and such debates are meaningless and unnecessary because all languages are important, and every language has its own status.' Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, said, 'Literature has the power to unify and it should be a tool to bring society together rather than divide it. Banu Mushtaq has elevated the global recognition of Kannada literature. Her achievement is a matter of pride for the entire Kannada speaking world.' The CM said the state government will fund the translation of renowned Kannada literary works into English to promote the state's literary heritage. He also declared Rs 10 lakh each for Banu and Deepa Bhasthi in recognition of their contributions to literature.

This film faced 34 legal cases, still earned 225% profit, made lead actress an overnight star, movie is..., lead actor was... There are several films in Bollywood that have landed in legal controversy prior its release. Today, we will talk about one such movie that really underwent through trouble seas, and dealt with 34 legal cases. Despite being in bad publicity, the film did exceedingly well and turned out to be a box office hit. Released in 1982, the film we are referring to is BR Chopra's Nikaah . Starring Raj Babbar, Deepak Parashar, and Salma Agha, the film was based on the concept of triple Talaq. According to IMDB, the film was initially titled, Talaq Talaq Talaq. However, the makers later changed it to Nikaah. During that time, the film as well as the storyline didn't settle well with the certain section of Muslims, and as a result the makers of Nikaah faced shocking 34 court cases. Many people intervened during the screening, and asked to stop the film. While, some just threw the posters out on the road in anger. Not just this, lead actress Salma Agha was threatened and harassed. There were several outrageous letters sent to her, warning to leave India and move back to London. Despite all the controversy, the film did surprisingly well and became a box office success. Made on a budget of Rs 4 crore, Nikaah earned Rs 9 crore, making a 225% of profit. The success of the film catapulted Salma to overnight stardom, leading to several offers for many other films. Other than Salma, Raj Babbar, and Deepak Parashar, the cast also consisted of Tanuja, Hina Kausar, Iftekhar and Asrani. Those who wish to watch the film, you can catch it on YouTube, Hotstar or Amazon Prime. Nikaah is surely way ahead of its time, showcasing a quite bold theme out and out.

Saunkan Saunkanay 2 Box Office: Set to be a HIT in India passing Monday test, nears 17cr worldwide in 4 days
Punjabi film Saunkan Saunkanay 2 held well on Monday, collecting approximately Rs. 1.35 crore at the Indian box office. This represents a 43 per cent drop from its opening day on Friday, which had the advantage of a partial holiday. Adjusted for the holiday factor, the real drop is closer to 35 per cent, indicating a healthy hold. The film has amassed Rs. 9.35 crore in India over its four-day run so far. Overseas, it has grossed another Rs. 7.40 crore (USD 875K), bringing its worldwide total to Rs. 16.75 crore The Box Office Collections of Saunkan Saunkanay 2 at the Indian Box Office are as follows: Saunkan Saunkanay 2 is on track to gross over Rs. 12 crore in its first week in India. Some good daily holds could push it closer to Rs. 13 crore, which will be a very good result. There will be competition in the form of Housefull 5 next week, but that shouldn't hurt it much in mainland Punjab. Subject to how it sustains against the competition, the film is on track to gross over Rs. 20 crore in India. That will make it the first HIT Punjabi film in India, in nearly nine months since Ardaas 3. During the period, there were a couple of HITs overseas, some even did BLOCKBUSTER business, but domestically, it's been a drought. That said, the overall sentiment around the film remains somewhat muted. The business is expected to fall significantly short of the original Saunkan Saunkne, which is less than ideal for a sequel, especially in Punjabi cinema, where sequels often outperform their predecessors. The relatively underwhelming trailer and music, along with mixed reception to the first film, likely contributed to this. Nonetheless, it's good to see numbers being back for Punjabi films. End of the month will see a big release in Sardaar Ji 3, hope will be for it to set the box office on fire and set some new benchmarks.
