Kabir Singh is unstoppable at the box-office

Shahid Kapoor's latest Bollywood offering Kabir Singh has set the box-office on fire. The film, which opened to massive audience response, has been minting a lot of moolah ever since hitting the silver screen on 21st June. Kabir Singh opened its account with ₹ 20.21 crore and has continued maintaining its box-office figures in a range of ₹ 16 crore - ₹ 18 crore per day.

On Day 6, the movie clocked ₹ 15.91 crore approximately, taking its grand total to ₹ 120.81 crores at the domestic box-office. The film has now crossed the extended weekend collection of Akshay Kumar’s Kesari (₹ 105.86 crore), Gully Boy (₹ 100.30 crore) and Total Dhamaal (₹ 94.55 crore) in just six days.


Kabir Singh has emerged as Shahid Kapoor's first solo film to enter the much-coveted club of ₹ 100 crore. His 2018 film Padmaavat earned over ₹ 300 crores at the domestic box-office, but it starred Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh in lead roles, while Shahid Kapoor played the second lead. Kabir Singh has also become the ninth highest grossing Bollywood film of 2019.

Trade analyst and movie critic Taran Adarsh writes that Kabir Singh is doing well across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.  "Additionally, Kabir Singh is attracting repeat audiences, which is a rarity in today's times. The youth, in particular, has embraced the film and it is this segment of the moviegoing audience that's playing a key role in driving its business to greater glories," reads his tweet.

Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Kabir Singh is an official remake of Telugu hit Arjun Reddy (2017). The film stars Shahid Kapoor as a surgeon who goes on a self-destruction rampage after his girlfriend marries someone else. Actress Kiara Advani plays his girlfriend in the film. Both the actors have received great response for their terrific performances in Kabir Singh. Trade experts believe that the film may join the much-publicized ₹ 200 crore club soon if it maintains the momentum.

A source claims the actor called the trip “embarrassing” and “ridiculous” during a heated exchange, leaving Perry hurt and confused by the lack of support.

As he turns 51 on June 22, it is the perfect time to look beyond the superstardom and revisit seven standout performances that reveal the powerhouse actor beneath the mass-hero persona.

Ed Sheeran teams up with John Mayer and Dave Grohl for rock anthem in Brad Pitt’s 'F1' movie

British singer Ed Sheeran is shifting lanes musically. Known for his emotional ballads and acoustic pop, Sheeran has taken a bold turn into rock territory with Drive, a gritty new single written for Brad Pitt’s upcoming Formula One film, F1. The track, released ahead of the film’s 27 June global premiere, shows the singer ditching his usual gentle strumming for loud guitar riffs, pounding drums, and full-throttle energy.

A rock track built for speed and the screen

Sheeran shared that he was invited to write a song for the film and immediately knew he wanted it to feel like a proper “driving song”, something loud, intense, and worthy of the speed and thrill of Formula One. He teamed up with guitarist John Mayer and producer Blake Slatkin to bring that vision to life. The result? A track with Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl on drums, Pino Palladino on bass, and Rami Jaffee on keys. It’s an all-star crew of rock musicians who helped Sheeran hit the accelerator.

The remake era is dead: Aamir Khan’s 'Sitare Zameen Par' proves Bollywood must move on

This week sees the release of Aamir Khan’s new film Sitare Zameen Par. Marketed as a ‘spiritual sequel’ to the multi-award-winning 2007 drama Taare Zameen Par, the film is in fact a remake of the 2018 Spanish movie Campeones — and it appears to be packed with copied moments from start to finish.

Social media users have already forensically compared the trailer with the original and pointed out identical scenes, alerting Hindi cinema fans to the 2023 American remake (Champions) and a 2022 German version (Weil wir Champions sind).
