Sunny Deol reveals the industry doubted Gadar: Ek Prem Katha: ‘They didn't even like the songs'
Actor Sunny Deol's Gadar: Ek Prem Katha is remembered as one of Bollywood's most iconic blockbusters, but few know that the film was met with skepticism before its release. In a recent interview with Zoom, Sunny revealed that the industry not only doubted the film's success but also dismissed its now-iconic music. Despite initial doubts from the industry, Sunny Deol's Gadar: Ek Prem Katha became a cultural hit.(PTI) Sunny opens up about how industry reacted to Gadar Reflecting on how disconnected the industry was from the audience's pulse, Sunny said, 'Whenever I used to play the songs for people, they didn't like them at the time. But now, the film takes itself along; it carries itself. Nobody can stop it. This happens because the industry and the audience are not in sync. When you get more, you forget. You drift apart from your craft.' Sunny also shared that he was initially unsure about doing the film when director Anil Sharma approached him with the script. But everything changed after that first narration. 'When he narrated the subject, I just fell in love with it. The whole night we listened to the narration, and the discussion happened. And my only thing was that it had to look like that period. Because if that period is not shown, then the story won't feel real. Working on it was a great experience throughout the film. I enjoy all my films, whichever one I do, because there are so many memories attached to them,' Sunny added. Despite doubts from the industry, Anil Sharma-directed Gadar, which also starred Ameesha Patel, became a cultural phenomenon and a box office juggernaut. It earned ₹133 crore in 2001. Its 2023 sequel, Gadar 2, repeated history, becoming one of the highest-grossing Hindi films ever, earning ₹691.08 crore. Sunny's upcoming project Sunny Deol is set to return in Border 2, the sequel to the 1997 war epic directed by JP Dutta. He also has Lahore 1947, produced by Aamir Khan and co-starring Preity Zinta. Sunny will also play Lord Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana.

'War 2' Box Office collection day 8: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani's action film crosses Rs 200 crore mark in India; trails behind Rajinikanth's ‘Coolie'
'War 2', starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR , arrived in cinemas on 14 August with sky-high buzz. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the spy thriller also features Kiara Advani in an important role. The film is part of growing spy universe and was expected to make waves at the box office. 'War 2' clashed with none other than superstar Rajinikanth 's 'Coolie', which released on the same day. 'War 2' crosses the Rs 200 crore milestone On its second Thursday (day 8), 'War 2' added around Rs 5 crore to its India collections, according to early estimates by Sacnilk. This took the film's total to a strong Rs 204.25 crore. Crossing the Rs 200 crore mark in just over a week is no small feat, and it shows the pull of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR at the box office. 'War 2' day 8 occupancy On Thursday, 21 August, the film saw mixed occupancy across cinemas. Hindi shows recorded an overall 9.19%, Tamil shows stood at 16.85%, and Telugu shows at 14.25%. However, the numbers also reveal a slowdown compared to its opening weekend highs. After a powerful start, the film is now settling into a steady but more modest pace. 'War 2' day-wise box office collections Here's a look at how 'War 2' has performed at the box office so far: Day 1 [Thursday] Rs 52 Cr [Hi: 29 Cr ; Ta: 0.25 Cr ; Te: 22.75 Cr] Day 2 [Friday] Rs 57.85 Cr [Hi: 45 Cr ; Ta: 0.35 Cr ; Te: 12.5 Cr] Day 3 [Saturday] Rs 33.25 Cr [Hi: 26 Cr ; Ta: 0.3 Cr ; Te: 6.95 Cr] Day 4 [Sunday] Rs 32.65 Cr [Hi: 27 Cr ; Ta: 0.3 Cr ; Te: 5.35 Cr] Day 5 [Monday] Rs 8.75 Cr [Hi: 7 Cr ; Ta: 0.15 Cr ; Te: 1.6 Cr] Day 6 [Tuesday] Rs 9 Cr [Hi: 7.75 Cr ; Ta: 0.1 Cr ; Te: 1.15 Cr] Day 7 [Wednesday] Rs 5.75 Cr [Hi: 4.65 Cr ; Ta: 0.1 Cr ; Te: 1 Cr] Day 8 [Thursday] Rs 5 Cr (early estimates) Total: Rs 204.25 Cr The first four days were huge, powered by the extended Independence Day weekend. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo But from Monday onwards, the film has seen a sharp drop, with single-digit collections. 'War 2' clash with 'Coolie' If 'War 2' had been a solo release, the story might have been different. But going up against Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' was always going to be tough. On day 8, 'Coolie' earned Rs 6.25 crore, higher than the Rs 5 crore brought in by 'War 2'. With this, 'Coolie' reached a total of Rs 229.75 crore, well ahead of Hrithik and Jr NTR's spy film. About 'War 2' Hrithik Roshan is back as Kabir, his popular character from the first 'War'. This time he is joined by N. T. Rama Rao Jr., making his debut in this universe, along with Kiara Advani. The film is is directed by Ayan Mukerji. 'War 2' road ahead The big question now is whether 'War 2' can maintain steady numbers in its second week. Crossing Rs 200 crore is a major achievement, but staying strong against a rival as big as 'Coolie' is no easy task. With its current pace, the film may continue to add to its total, but the battle for the top spot is clearly in favour of Rajinikanth's film for now. As both films move into their second weeks, all eyes will be on whether Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's spy outing can regain some momentum or if 'Coolie' will continue to rule the box office.

State norm for prime-time theatre slots for Bengali films debuts today
Kolkata: The new rule of slotting at least one prime-time show, between 3 pm and 9 pm, to a Bengali film at all screens in the state will have to be implemented from Friday. While the move will ensure lesser-known Bengali films secure programming slots, show allocations may get complicated as many Bengali producers and distributors avoid state-wide releases or do not give films to all theatres. Almost all theatres and multiplexes in the city have already implemented the govt notification. Currently, six Bengali films — 'Dhumketu', 'Tobuo Bhalobashi', 'Dear Maa', 'Putulnacher Itikatha', 'Goodbye Mountain' and 'Bhutopurbo' — are screening in Kolkata. While Kaushik Ganguly's 'Dhumketu' is being screened at 160 properties in Bengal, Rabindra Nambiar's 'Tobuo Bhalobashi' has also got prime-time shows at many multiplexes here. A committee formed by minister Aroop Biswas, comprising Tollywood stakeholders, convened a meeting to determine how to prevent Bengali films from competing against each other at the box office. "Four Bengali films are slated for puja release. Future festival releases will be decided at the coming meetings," said 'Dhumketu' distributor Satadeep Saha.

Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo "This notification has given viewers the choice of watching Bengali films at suitable shows instead of Hindi movies. After two days of release, the number of shows of 'Dhumketu' increased from 460 to over 550," said co-producer Rana Sarkar. Navina cinema's owner Navin Chowkhani said, "This notification puts an end to any dadagiri of Hindi movie distributors at Bengal's cinemas. With Bengali movies doing phenomenally well, I am screening 'Dhumketu' at all three shows." But some theatres are yet to show Bengali films in prime time. Among such a hall is New Empire, where all four shows are devoted to 'War 2'. "Some theatres in Kolkata, such as Pradip, Society and Moonlight, have no taker for Bengali films. We have been told exceptions will be considered for them. New Empire is not showing 'Dhumketu' but it did not refuse to screen it. We had talks about film's New Empire screening before the notification was issued, and back then, we had decided against it. In future, no exhibitor will refuse to release a Bengali film in prime time," said distributor Saha. "At the same time, no distributor can refuse to release a Bengali film at a theatre if an exhibitor wants it." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
