Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Amitabh Bachchan recalls how he would gatecrash weddings during his college days; says 'hum dhoondhte the kahin shaadi toh nahi horaha, phir khaa peeke aaramse bahar aate the'
The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 starts with host Amitabh Bachchan welcoming the audience. He resumes the game with rollover contestant Shruti Jain from Mumbai, Maharashtra. He teases her that since she has not invited him to her wedding, he won't come. Later, Big B asks her about how she plans to tie the knot and Shruti reveals that she is going to opt for court marriage because she doesn't want to spend money on wedding. She says, "Mujhe apni wedding nahi marriage acchi chahiye." Mr. Bachchan gets impressed after knowing about her thoughts and calls her sorted. He says, "I have learnt a new term these days, 'she is very sorted." The megastar then recalls his college days and shared a hilarious anecdote about gatecrashing weddings. He says, "Hum jab college mein the toh rupaya paisa toh hota nahi tha humare paas, shayad 2 rupaya pocket money milta tha.. toh jab bhook lage shaam ko toh samajh mein nahi aata tha kya karen? Toh hum log dhoondhte the ke kahin shaadi byaah toh nahi horaha... hum log aise jaate the jaise baarati jaa rahe ho andar. Toh darban humko poochta tha, toh hum peeche aarahe hain aise bol ke aage chale jaate tha. ..(laughs). Khaa peeke aaramse bahar aajate the. Agar aap court marriage karengi toh hum jaison ka kya hoga..." (Back then, we hardly had any money, maybe just ₹2 as pocket money. So, whenever we felt hungry in the evenings, we would look around to see if any wedding was happening nearby. We would sneak in pretending to be part of the baraat. If the gatekeeper stopped us, we'd say we were coming from behind and walk right in,' he shared with a laugh. 'We would eat to our heart's content and walk out happily. That's why I say, if you go for a court marriage, what will happen to people like us?') His hilarious anecdote left the audience in splits. Shruti admitted feeling extremely nervous, adding that it still hasn't sunk in for her that she is sitting on the hot seat, playing the game of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Big B starts the game and reads the question for Rs 3,00,000. Which saltwater lagoon, located along the Coromandel Coast, is shared between Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu? As Shruti is not aware of the answer, she uses her lifeline 'Audience Poll' and selects Option D) Pulicat Lake. Shruti next faces the question for Rs 5,00,000 and she again uses a lifeline. She uses her last lifeline 'Sanket Suchak'. The flag of which ofthese countries features a seven-pointed Commonwealth Star, symbolising its six states and its territories? Even after getting the hint, Shruti is not able to guess the answer and she decides to quit the game. After quitting the game, Big B asks her to take a guess and she selects Option C) New Zealand. The correct answer is Option B) Australia. Shruti takes home Rs 3,00,000. Amitabh Bachchan Breaks Silence on His 'Changed' Look in KBC 17 | Here's What He Says

Big banner films still fail to deliver bang for the buck
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The disappointing performance of big-budget and multilingual films War 2 and Coolie on their opening weekend, especially after the unexpected and extraordinary success of the low-budget Saiyaara, has reignited concerns about the box office revival, said producers, exhibitors and 2, the sixth offering of the Yash Raj Spy Universe , released across more than half of India's total screens (including IMAX), recorded the lowest opening of ₹29 crore for the Hindi version in the Spy Universe, according to data from Sacnilk. Similarly, Coolie recorded a 45.8% drop in its collection across languages on Monday, compared to that on Sunday, the data in the first four days, War 2 and Coolie collected ₹165 crore and ₹195 crore respectively in India. Both films were made with a budget of ₹350-450 crore each."The disappointing performance of War 2 and Coolie is a reminder that hype and stars cannot guarantee longevity to films," said Suniel Wadhwa, co-founder and director, Karmic Films. "This tendency to create pan-India offerings through stars merely provides a high opening day collection. But sustained success is dictated only by content."Industry executives said one of the factors responsible for the progressive decline in collection on the opening weekend was the lack of freshness and entertaining elements in the scripts of both films."I cannot differentiate one film from the other in the six films of the Yash Raj Spy Universe. It is the same story which is repeated with different stars. Dialogues are dull. There is no thrill or engaging quality to the confrontation between the two central characters in War 2," said Ameya Naik, founder, Fantasy Films, an event management company. "Coolie has benefited considerably from Rajnikanth's stardom. Though Coolie may be better than War 2, its screenplay falters and it does not entertain you."Audiences and distributors also mentioned the glaring lack of visual richness, especially in War 2, as another disappointing factor."A large portion of War 2's budget is invested in actors' fees. The film's visual effects do not justify its budget at all. This makes the viewing experience even more dull as the story lacks freshness and conviction. The film has benefited more from the holiday period," said Shaaminder Malik, a film distributor and trade on the other hand, said they were concerned about the increasing tendency among producers to treat films as "projects"."These films would recover investments. In recent years, things have become so formulaic. Makers are making 'projects'. "We have lost our model of success. Today, big producers with large distribution networks are interested in recovering money through sale of rights and other assets," said Yusuf Shaikh, CEO and founder, Janta Cinema, an exhibitor which showcases films at affordable prices."Producers will recover their money as the formula is working. But the audience is disappointed."
