The International Film City is being developed in Sector 21 under the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA). The construction of the Film City will be carried out by Bayview Bhutani Film City Pvt Ltd—a consortium led by renowned Bollywood filmmaker
and the Bhutani Group.
In its first phase, the project will cover 230 acres and involve an investment of Rs 1,510 crore. It will include the construction of multiple studios and the film institute, expected to be completed within the next three years.
"The film institute will be one of its kind. In the first phase, it will be built over an area of 3 lakh square feet. The institute will have modern classrooms, studios, editing suites, and a VR lab equipped with the latest technologies. Students will get hands-on experience working on real film projects and will also have access to the latest film-making technologies," said Rajeev Arora, general manager of the company.
He added, "Local youth will be given priority in both training and employment. Special preference will be given to the youth from the Yamuna Expressway region and nearby areas, while young people from other parts of Uttar Pradesh will also benefit."
He also mentioned that training local youth and offering them jobs will be more cost-effective than hiring staff from Mumbai. This will help create jobs within the film city in areas like studios, production, and more.

The institute will offer courses in acting, story writing, script writing, editing, camera operation, lighting, spot boy duties, VFX, fashion, and mass communication. In addition, it will provide training and facilities related to film music. There will be workshops, internships, and guest lectures in partnership with production houses, allowing students to learn directly from industry experts.
The Film City will also host movie premieres, so that production houses don't have to travel to other cities to launch their films.
A comprehensive resource centre will be set up with films, scripts, and academic materials, which will serve as a valuable asset for both students and filmmakers.
The institute will also organise film festivals, exhibitions, and competitions, giving students opportunities to showcase their talent.
The campus will also include facilities like hostels, a cafeteria, a health centre, and recreational areas for students.

(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.

Mission Impossible 8 Box Office Day 16: Tom Cruise's Film Bounces Back, Mints Rs 90 Crore
Last Updated: Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has grossed Rs 90 crore in India. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film marks Cruise's final outing as Ethan Hunt. Tom Cruise is back to doing what he does best — defying gravity and box office expectations. On Day 16, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One pulled off yet another high-octane stunt at the Indian box office. After a mid-week slowdown, the film has bounced back with style, raking in a cool Rs 90 crore so far. Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 8 entered the third week in India on a strong note. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and co-written with Erik Jendresen, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning marks Tom Cruise's final outing as the legendary spy Ethan Hunt. The film also stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. The film pocketed Rs 3.65 crore on Day 15 (third Saturday) and followed it up with a slightly better Rs 3.75 crore on Day 16 (third Sunday), according to early estimates. That pushes the total India collection to a solid Rs 90.45 crore across all languages. The final chapter in the Mission: Impossible saga kicked off with a decent run when it hit theatres on May 17. Fans rushed to catch Tom Cruise back in action as Ethan Hunt, pulling off gravity-defying stunts and intense fight scenes like only he can. The film had a strong start, bringing in Rs 54.4 crore in its first week. All eyes are on whether The Final Reckoning can keep up the pace and cruise its way to the Rs 100 crore mark in India. Ahead of the release, Tom Cruise had left Indian fans delighted by speaking in Hindi during a promotional video. 'Main aap sab se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mujpe bharosa karo, ek akhri baar (I love you all a lot. Trust me one last time)," he said. He also shared his fond memories of visiting India, adding, 'I feel so much love for India. I have to say the whole experience has been etched in my memory. Every single moment. From the moment I landed, going to the Taj Mahal, and spending time in Mumbai, I remember each moment quite vividly." A part of News18's review of the film read, 'But what truly sets The Final Reckoning apart is its tone. It's not just an action blockbuster. It's an elegy. A goodbye. A thank-you. And somehow, despite all the chaos, it's also a reckoning with legacy, with sacrifice, with what it really means to be a hero when the world keeps moving the goalpost. The Final Reckoning is the most fitting, heart-racing, gut-wrenching finale Ethan Hunt could've asked for. If this really is the last mission, then hats off, Mr. Cruise. You didn't just complete it. You aced it." First Published:

Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Day 10: Rajkummar Rao's Film Inches Closer Towards Rs 60 Crore
Last Updated: Rajkummar Rao's film Bhool Chuk Maaf, also starring Wamiqa Gabbi, crossed Rs 50 crore at the box office. Rajkummar Rao's latest film Bhool Chuk Maaf has crossed the Rs 50 crore mark at the box office. It is having an impressive run at the ticket windows. Also starring Wamiqa Gabbi, Bhool Chuk Maaf had released in theatres after multiple delays last week. The film opened to Rs 7 crore on May 23. Surprisingly, the Karan Sharma-directorial pulled in Rs 44.3 crore during its first week in theatres. On its tenth day in theatres, the film collected around Rs 6.25 crore, with overall occupancy reaching close to 32 per cent, and the highest footfall seen during the evening screenings. The total earning now stands at Rs 58 crore. On its second Sunday, the film's occupancy varied throughout the day — 9.02 per cent in the morning, 27.80 per cent in the afternoon, 31.65 per cent in the evening, and 18.95 per cent at night. Among cities, Chennai stood out with a remarkable 80 per cent occupancy, while Chandigarh, Jaipur, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad also showed strong turnout. Though the film's box office performance were expected to be much better, the lead cast received praise for their on-screen presence. News18 rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars. 'The concept is fairly new for Bollywood, with straightforward storytelling, though certain characters could use more arch and layers that could have unfolded over the course of the film. Nonetheless, Karan Sharma deserves credit for his debut effort and we can say, 'Karan, Bhool Chuk Maaf".While Rao excels in these roles, it's also time to see him in a new light and a fresh avatar. His portrayal of small-town heroes is commendable, but his talent extends beyond this niche. And we can't wait to see him in other projects. Gabbi, on the other hand, fits naturally into the role of Titli, delivering her lines with precision and showcasing excellent comic timing. It's likely she'll continue to shine in rom-coms in the future," read a part of our review. First Published:
