Meet actress, who had only 3 hits in 19 years, got rejected for.., director felt she was too..., her name is...
Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha is a prominent name in Hindi film industry. Before garnering fame, she used to work full-time in television industry. She started her career with the serial Kittie Party in 2002. Apart from Hindi, she also starred in many TV shows in Telugu language. However, she got real limelight after appearing in films.
In 2006, she started her career in Hindi film industry with the film Jai Santoshi Maa . After doing couple of movies, she got her breakthrough with Love Sex Aur Dhokha in 2010.

It turned out to be a success, earning Rs 88 crore at the box office.
After that, her films weren't gaining commercial and critical successes, until in 2018 Luv Ranjan's rom-com Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety happened, where she worked with her Lucky Charm Kartik Aaryan again, along with Sunny Singh. She gained immense popularity for playing a grey-shade character in the film.
Nushrratt once spoke about loosing out a role in 2008 Oscar-winner film Slumdog Millionaire. In a chat with Bollywood Bubble, she revealed that she was called 'too pretty' for the role. However, she was left totally confused when the makers broke this news to her. Nushrratt recalled, 'When I was told this on the phone, I wasn't understanding what it meant. But I said, 'Okay,' because they're people working at a different level and their thought is very different. Maine kaha theek hai hoga bhai kuch, kuch toh socha hoga aapne (There must be something there, they must have thought of something). No problem, sure. But ya, it was a little difficult to hear ki yeh kya hota hai, yeh kya hai (what kind of a reason is that).'
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Nushrratt was last seen in Chhorii 2 with Soha Ali Khan.

‘Tuk Tuk' makes big impact; takes OTT by storm with massive viewership
Sometimes, a film doesn't need big stars or massive budgets to leave a lasting impression. Proving this point once again is the small-budget Telugu film Tuk Tuk, which has become an unexpected hit on OTT. Recently released on Amazon Prime Video, the film has quickly climbed the charts and currently holds the No. 3 spot on the platform's trending list, surprising audiences and industry insiders alike. According to reports, Tuk Tuk has already crossed 100 million views—a remarkable feat for an indie project. What makes this achievement even more impressive is the film's lack of a star-studded cast or flashy production values. Instead, it relies on a heartfelt story, natural performances, and a director's unique vision to win over viewers. Directed by a debut filmmaker, Tuk Tuk blends drama and humour seamlessly, creating a screenplay that is both engaging and emotionally resonant. The film's strength lies in its simplicity and the honesty in storytelling. Every element—from direction and acting to music and narrative—works in harmony to make the film stand out. The actors, many of whom are newcomers, have received widespread recognition for their authentic performances. In particular, some of the younger cast members have become social media sensations, thanks to their dialogue delivery and screen presence. Tuk Tuk is yet another reminder that content is king. Its success proves that honest filmmaking backed by a compelling narrative can find its audience, regardless of budget or star power. The film has not only brought well-deserved attention to its cast and crew but also lit a beacon of hope for aspiring filmmakers and actors in the Telugu industry. If you haven't watched Tuk Tuk yet, it's streaming now on Amazon Prime Video—a must-watch underdog story.

‘Detective Ujjwalan' box office collections day 10: Dhyan Sreenivasan's murder mystery crosses Rs 5.56 cr worldwide
(Picture Courtesy:Facebook) Dhyan Sreenivasan is finally celebrating a box office success this year with the murder mystery 'Detective Ujjwalan'. As per the Sacnilk reports, the film has collected Rs 5.56 crore worldwide in ten days, with Rs 4.96 crore from India net collections. Dhyan Sreenivasan scores his first hit of 2025 While the movie opened modestly, it has shown a steady run across weekdays and weekends, steadily building its audience and word-of-mouth. The film's growing collections signal that audiences are enjoying this crime comedy blend, marking a positive turning point for Dhyan's 2025 releases. A lighthearted detective faces a darker challenge 'Detective Ujjwalan' revolves around Ujjwalan, a quirky librarian who moonlights as the village detective, helping solve small-time problems like lost gold or missing goats. Plachikavu village is so peaceful that even the police lean on Ujjwalan's skills to handle petty crime. But the tone shifts when a series of brutal murders shock the quiet village, leaving everyone to wonder whether their local amateur sleuth can rise to the challenge of catching a dangerous criminal. As tension builds, Ujjwalan must stretch beyond his usual comic charm to crack a case that threatens the entire village's safety. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Detective Ujjwalan - Official Trailer ETimes verdict ETimes gave the movie a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review read, 'There are some rules that a detective story needs to make it work and for the effect to stay with us. Some red herrings that will confuse the audience so that we are emotionally and intellectually caught up in the story, a detective who uses logic that will baffle us with its brilliance and a final revelation of the culprit that will shock us. Detective Ujjwalan does not use any of these devices in a forceful enough manner. The period settings are interesting and the village characters are loveable enough, though some of the superb comic talents from social media, Ameen, Nihal Nizam, Nibraz and Shahubas, are barely utilised. The film seems to go in the direction of most Dhyan films; a bit of an anti-climax.' What's next? With Rs 57 lakhs collected on its tenth day, 'Detective Ujjwalan' continues to draw crowds despite facing competition from new releases. Given the current momentum, the movie is likely to continue adding to its box office tally in the coming weeks.
