When Dimple Kapadia said she's seen Nana Patekar's dark side and called him obnoxious: 'But when I see talent like him, sau khoon...'
Dimple Kapadia
and
Nana Patekar
have worked together in many movies like '
Krantiveer
', 'Prahaar: The Final Attack' and more recently '
Welcome Back
'. Nana is always known to be very different from other Bollywood actors, even as a person and a while ago, in an interview, Dimple had called him 'obnoxious', however, praised his
acting skills
and talent.
As she called him 'obnoxious', she was asked if she meant it in a good way or bad way. Reacting to it, she had said during a chat with NDTV, "In a good way, and a bad way. As far as his talent goes, there's no match to him. He is an extremely talented man. When I see talent like him, sau khoon bhi maaf hai. Sab kuch maaf hai. Meri jaan bhi lelo (A hundred murders, everything is forgiven. In fact, take my life too). That's the effect he has on me. But, as a person, with me, he has been very, very nice, kind, and a good friend. But I have also seen his terrible side…the dark side. We all have a dark side which is nicely and safely kept aside."
On work front, while Nana was last seen in 'Vanvaas', Dimple has been a part of many good movies lately. Her project, '
Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo
' on OTT was also largely appreciated. She was seen in '
Murder Mubarak
' and Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon starrer 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya'.

Top Advance Bookings At Major National Chains For Opening Day In 2025: Housefull 5 secures 3rd spot among Bollywood movies with 90,000 tickets
The advance bookings for Housefull 5 have wrapped up for its opening day, and the numbers are in. The Akshay Kumar fronted comic caper has sold 90,000 tickets in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis. This places Housefull 5 as the third highest-selling Bollywood film in advance bookings for 2025, trailing behind Chhaava (223,000 tickets) and Sikandar (143,000 tickets). However, these figures are, at best, mediocre for a franchise known for its mass appeal and star-studded cast. Fans and trade analysts expected much stronger advance numbers, given the brand value of the Housefull series. Other Bollywood releases like Raid 2 (86,000 tickets), Sky Force (52,000 tickets), and Badass Ravikumar (47,500 tickets) are behind Housefull 5, but the gap isn't as wide as one would hope for a film of this scale. Films like Kesari 2 (33,000 tickets), Emergency (27,000 tickets) and Jaat (20,000 tickets) round out the list. We had reported that Raid 2 sold 93,000 tickets in top national chains for the opening day in our listicle. To clarify, Raid 2 had sold 93,000 tickets by morning of the day of release. At midnight, the total ticket sales were 86,000. 1. Chhaava - 223,000 tickets 2. Sikandar - 143,000 tickets 3. Housefull 5 - 90,000 tickets 4. Raid 2 - 86,000 tickets 5. Sky Force - 52,000 tickets 6. Badass Ravikumar - 47,500 tickets (Rs 99) 7. Kesari 2 - 33,000 tickets 8. Bhool Chuk Maaf - 30,000 tickets 9. Emergency - 26,000 tickets (Rs 99) 10. Jaat - 20,000 tickets Outside the top national chains, Housefull 5 has performed better, especially in single-screen theaters and smaller centers. However, even these numbers are also not as impressive as they should be for a franchise that thrives on family audiences. The film's advance bookings for the weekend show a ray of hope. Families, eager to enjoy a light-hearted comedy during the festive holiday, have driven relatively stronger ticket sales for Saturday and Sunday. This could give the film a much-needed boost over the opening weekend. Financially, Housefull 5 is in a decent spot before its theatrical release. The makers have already recovered 60 percent of the film's budget through non-theatrical revenues, such as satellite, digital, and music rights. For Housefull 5 to be declared a hit, it needs to aim high at the ticket counters. It must net atleast over Rs 200 crore in India and gross over Rs 325 crore worldwide to be in contention to get a hit tag. Given the franchise's track record, this target is achievable but will depend heavily on positive word-of-mouth and sustained footfalls over the festive period. The Housefull series has always been a crowd-pleaser, banking on its mix of humor, star power, and family-friendly entertainment. But with only 90,000 advance tickets sold in top chains for the opening day, the film hasn't generated the buzz it needed. If Housefull 5 delivers on laughs and entertainment, it could overcome this average start. For now, all eyes are on its opening day performance and how it holds up over the crucial festive weekend.

Top 5 Bollywood Openers of 2025 So Far: Chhaava tops; Where will Housefull 5 land?
Housefull 5 led by Akshay Kumar is all set for a grand theatrical release. The film's advance bookings are almost about to end as we are less than an hour away from the film's release. The bookings of Housefull 5 point towards an opening in the vicinity of Rs 20 crore net and that would make the comic-caper the year's 3rd biggest Bollywood opener, only behind Chhaava and Sikandar. Chhaava opened to Rs 28.50 crore net and went on to do all time blockbuster level business across India. Sikandar, the Salman Khan star-vehicle opened with roughly Rs 25 crore net. The film was panned by fans and critics and it ended up sealing a sorry fate. Housefull 5 should have targeted an opening above that of Sikandar but that shall not happen owing to slower than expected advance bookings. Had the bookings been on par with the previous Housefull film that released in pre-Diwali, it would still have opened to a number above Rs 25 crore and closer to Rs 30 crore. Moving on, Raid 2 currently is the year's 3rd biggest opener with day 1 collections of around Rs 19 crore net. The movie emerged a bonafied hit at the box office despite competition from Retro, Hit 3 and Tourist Family. Sky Force and Jaat have currently occupied the 4th and 5th place in the list of top Bollywood openers of 2025 but that shall change tomorrow. Here Are The Top 5 Biggest Bollywood Openers Of 2025 So Far 1. Chhaava - Rs 29.50cr 2. Sikandar - Rs 25cr 3. Raid 2 - Rs 19cr 4. Sky Force - Rs 13.75cr 5. Jaat - Rs 9cr All eyes are on the film's word of mouth. If the word of mouth among the target audience is good, it will play well in theatres for the next few weeks and cross the Rs 200 crore net mark atleast. If the word of mouth is unfavourable, it will result in lesser than expected growth over the Eid weekend and then the numbers will come tumbling down in the weekdays. The family audience continues to remain vital for the success of Housefull 5. The industry is observing and monitoring the reception of Housefull 5 very closely. It will give the producers the courage to produce more ensemble comedies of the slapstick nature. Housefull 5 plays in theatres in just a few hours. Have you booked your tickets for the movie yet?

'She was not married but was just like...': Mumtaz reveals Rajesh Khanna loved another actress, not Dimple Kapadia, she is...
Rajesh Khanna was that star of stars. In the Bollywood industry, where stardom often fades with time, it was Rajesh Khanna's fame that remained evergreen. From Aradhana, Anand, Amar Prem, to Namak Haraam, Avishkaar, The Train, among others, Rajesh Khanna delivered superhit movies that the industry still remembers. Fondly called Kaka, Rajesh's professional life always remained in the headlines. However, it was his personal life that made fans curious too. Rajesh Khanna's controversial love affair was known to all. From marrying Dimple Kapadia at a young age to having a relationship with Tina Munim (now Tina Ambani), Kaka's love life was famous in every state of the nation. However, do you know that there was a person in Kaka's life who, though not married to him, remained with him just like a wife? Yes, the person here in discussion is veteran actress Anju Mahendru. Rajesh and Anju lived together like husband and wife for a long time, which is today called live-in. Rajesh Khanna's co-star Mumtaz revealed this secret relationship of Rajesh Khanna. In a podcast, Mumtaz clearly stated that Rajesh and Anju did not consider themselves less than husband and wife. Mumtaz said, 'Rajesh and Anju lived in the same house like husband and wife, they used to get up and sit together, eat and drink together — their relationship was no less than that of a husband and wife.' The veteran actress added, 'Yes, both of them were not married, but this relationship was no less than a marriage. They both loved each other very much.' It is worth noting that Rajesh's mother wanted him to get married soon, because he was 27 years old at that time. But when Rajesh proposed to Anju in 1971, she said that she wanted to postpone their marriage because she wanted to focus on building her career as an actress.
