THIS film was Shah Rukh Khan's Rs 11-crore disaster: Film bombed, one co-star went to jail, another received threats
In 1995, Shah Rukh Khan, Jackie Shroff, and Anil Kapoor starred in Trimurti, a highly anticipated action film. Despite a record-breaking opening, the movie quickly flopped due to poor reviews, becoming one of Bollywood's most expensive failures. Casting issues and behind-the-scenes drama further plagued the film, which was also the last completed project of director Mukul Anand. At the peak of his stardom in 1995, Shah Rukh Khan teamed up with Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor for Trimurti—a film backed by big names and an even bigger budget. Touted as a sure-shot blockbuster, it opened to record-breaking numbers but quickly crashed due to poor reviews and word of mouth. What was meant to be a cinematic triumph turned into one of Bollywood's most expensive flops. SRK at the Height of His Powers In 1995, Shah Rukh Khan was riding high on a wave of back-to-back successes. With Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Karan Arjun turning into massive blockbusters and Guddu earning the label of a semi-hit, SRK had firmly cemented his position as the top draw at the box office. By December, even Ram Jaane had emerged as a hit, further solidifying his dominance. A Big-Budget Dream with a Star-Studded Cast So when he teamed up with Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor for Mukul Anand's Trimurti, expectations skyrocketed. The star-studded action film was touted as a casting coup and came with enormous hype. Backed by Subhash Ghai's production house, Trimurti was mounted on a staggering budget of Rs 11 crore—making it the most expensive Indian film at the time, surpassing previous record-holders Shanti Kranti and Ajooba. A Record-Breaking Opening… and a Quick Crash Trimurti hit theatres on December 22 with sky-high expectations—and it delivered a record-breaking start. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The film opened to a historic Rs 1 crore on day one in India, the biggest opening for any Indian film at the time. Its global opening weekend haul crossed Rs 5 crore, and all signs pointed to a blockbuster in the making. However, the dream run was short-lived. Despite the grand opening, Trimurti quickly collapsed at the box office. Poor reviews and negative word of mouth led to a sharp decline in footfalls, and within weeks, the film had vanished from theatres. In the end, Trimurti managed to collect less than Rs 9 crore in India—falling short of its Rs 11 crore budget. According to India Today, the film had been sold at an eye-popping Rs 2 crore per territory, leading to losses of over Rs 6 crore. What started as a surefire hit ended up being one of the most costly misfires in Bollywood history. Casting Chaos Behind the Scenes Trimurti was originally set to feature Shah Rukh Khan, Jackie Shroff, and Sanjay Dutt in the lead. In fact, Dutt had already shot a few scenes before he was sentenced to prison in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. With Dutt out, director Mukul Anand turned to Aditya Pancholi to fill the role. However, producer Subhash Ghai had a different vision—he pushed for Anil Kapoor, who eventually landed the part. The casting change didn't sit well with Pancholi, who reportedly began making threatening phone calls to Anil Kapoor over losing the role. The situation escalated to the point where the police had to intervene. Pancholi ultimately apologised, bringing an end to the off-screen drama that nearly overshadowed the film itself. A Bittersweet Legacy for Mukul Anand Trimurti holds a bittersweet place in Bollywood history as the last completed film of acclaimed director Mukul Anand, who tragically passed away in 1997 while filming Dus. That project was ultimately shelved, leaving Trimurti as his final release. The film also featured notable performances by Priya Tendulkar, Mohan Agashe, and Anjali Jathar in pivotal roles. While Trimurti failed to make a mark at the box office, its music struck a chord with audiences. Composed by the legendary duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal, the soundtrack featured six songs, with 'Very Good Very Bad' and 'Bol Bol Bol' emerging as chartbusters that continue to be remembered fondly.

Red Bull Bean Mixed With Poster Whitener And A Mystery Chemical: Fake Paneer Factory Busted
Fake paneer racket busted in Noida: 14 quintals seized, 4 arrested. Made with chemicals, the product poses serious health risks If you regularly buy paneer (cottage cheese) from your local market, it's time to be extra cautious. A major food safety operation in Noida has uncovered an interstate racket producing and distributing fake paneer, posing serious health risks to consumers. Fake Paneer Racket Busted In Noida The Noida Police, in collaboration with the Food Department, has dismantled a large-scale food fraud operation producing fake paneer. Acting on a tip-off, officers from Sector-63 police station arrested four individuals and seized 14 quintals of fake paneer. The fraud came to light when a Mahindra pickup van carrying a large quantity of suspicious paneer was stopped. The driver, 32-year-old Gulfam, was detained and interrogated, revealing an entire network behind the racket. His information led to the arrest of two more suspects from Aligarh, Afsar and Guddu alias Rish. Police also raided their factory, recovering paneer -making equipment, raw materials, and dangerous chemicals. How Fake Paneer Was Made According to DCP Shakti Mohan Awasthi, the gang used a shocking method to replicate paneer. They boiled starch-heavy beans called Red Bull Bean (Sortex Clean) soaked in a liquid called saprota, then mixed in poster whitener and a mystery chemical stored in a blue container. The mixture was torn into a paneer -like texture, cooled in water, and pressed in cloth. In another method, they boiled Dholpur milk powder in water, added tearing chemicals, and used Nutrilive refined oil to mimic creamy paneer. This fake paneer was sold to local vendors for Rs 180 per kilo. Severe Health Risks Officials have warned that the ingredients such as palmoline oil and poster colour pose serious health risks. Samples have been sent for laboratory testing, and legal action will be intensified based on the results. First Published: July 03, 2025, 12:09 IST

Man kills friend, hides corpse in room,dumps it next day with father's help
Agra: A 35-year-old man from Aligarh allegedly murdered his friend, slept next to the corpse through the night, and then dumped the body on a roadside garbage heap with the help of his father the next morning. Guddu, who runs a barber shop, bludgeoned his friend Rajeev (45), an electrician, with an iron rod over an argument at his house on Saturday night. The murder came to the fore after CCTV footage captured them transporting the body on a rickshaw. After killing him, Guddu stuffed the body inside a bed storage box and spent the night in the same room. The next morning, he informed his father, Mehraj. Together, they transported the body on a rickshaw and dumped it in a garbage pile. Deputy SP Sarvam Singh confirmed their arrest under relevant BNS sections after police identified the body and reviewed CCTV footage. Both have been sent to jail, Singh said. Guddu admitted during interrogation that he and Rajeev were good friends and Rajeev often visited his shop, police said. His father went to Ahmedabad to meet brother, so the house was vacant. Guddu informed Rajeev that the house was empty and suggested they spend the night there. Both of them became drunk and started arguing over a trivial matter.

1,400 kg fake paneer seized in Noida, big racket linked to Aligarh factory busted
A big racket of fake paneer (cottage cheese) being transported to Uttar Pradesh's Noida has been busted by the police, and around 1,400 kgs of the counterfeit product has been seized by the police. Around 1,400 kgs of fake paneer was seized by the Noida Police. (Shutterstock) According to a Lallantop report, the racket is linked to a factory in Aligarh, and was behind the supply of fake paneer in parts of Delhi-NCR over the last six months. It had reportedly been ongoing for about six months, and fake paneer was sold at ₹ 180-220 per kg, significantly cheaper than real paneer, and supplied to vendors, roadside stalls, and eateries across Delhi‑NCR. Big bust in Noida, a raid in Aligarh The Noida Police received a tip-off about fake paneer being brought to the city in a pick-up truck. Acting on the input, the Noida Sector-63 Police stopped a vehicle for a check, and found 1,400 kgs of fake paneer inside it, the news report further said. The driver, 32-year-old Gulfam, was taken into custody and revealed during questioning that the paneer was being transported from a factory in Aligarh. Following the factory link revealed by the pick-up truck's driver, police visited a plant located in Sahajpura village of Aligarh. A variety of raw material and other items needed for making fake paneer was found: 25 kg of fresh skimmed milk powder Artificial white colour Sacks with starchy material, labelled 'Red Bull Sortex Clean' Two tins of 15 kg refined palm oil Blue box weighing 4 kgs, containing chemicals 11 blue drums Fake paneer making machine. After a raid at the factory, police arrested three more people -- 36-year-old Guddu, who operated the the plant, a 30-year-old helper named Ikhlaq, and one Naveed. Process behind making fake paneer During a police questioning, those arrested at the Aligarh factory detailed the process that goes into manufacturing fake paneer, the Lallantop report said. The starchy powder or 'Red Bull Sortex Clean' was mixed with water and chemicals, and boiled. An artificial white colour was then added to this mixture to give it an appearance of a dairy product. It was then curdled to look like paneer, tied inside a cloth to remove excess water and later mixed with some palm oil for a more "creamy look". Apart from the 1,400 kg paneer, the raw material and equipment used for making the fake product has also been seized by the police. Police are now on the lookout for the buyers and sellers of the fake product.
