Karan Johar on 3 years of ADHM: A film closest to my heart

Karan Johar’s last directorial was 2016 release Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The movie starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Fawad Khan. Shah Rukh Khan had a cameo in the film. It was a super hit at the box office and was a Diwali release.

Today, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil completes three years of its release and Karan Johar took to Instagram to thank the team of the film. He posted, “A film closest to my heart....had the best time filming it and have indelible memories! Thank you to the entire cast and crew that made this experience so memorable. ...it’s about the liberation of a broken heart.... @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb @anushkasharma #ranbirkapoor @dharmamovies.”


The movie had received mixed to positive reviews. Moviegoers had praised Ranbir’s chemistry with both the actresses, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The latter played a super-glamorous role in the movie and though she had only 20-25 minutes of role in the film, her performance was one of the highlights in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While it has been three years, the songs of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil are still loved by the audiences.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil had faced a lot of controversies as it starred Pakistani actors Fawad Khan and Imran Abbas. In September 2016, Pakistani terrorists had attacked Uri because of which Pakistani actors were banned from working in Indian movies. However, Karan had cleared that he had shot with the actors before the attack.

Meanwhile, Karan is now all set to start shooting for his next directorial titled Takht. The movie stars Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. The movie is slated to release in December next year.

Pub hotel group beat luxury chains in UK guest satisfaction survey

Highlights

  • Coaching Inn Group scores 81 per cent customer satisfaction, beating Marriott and Hilton.
  • Wetherspoon Hotels named best value at £70 per night.
  • Britannia Hotels ranks bottom for 12th consecutive year with 44 per cent score.
A traditional pub hotel group has outperformed luxury international chains in the UK's largest guest satisfaction survey, while one major operator continues its decade-long streak at the bottom of the rankings.
The Coaching Inn Group, comprising 36 relaxed inn-style hotels in historic buildings across beauty spots and market towns, achieved the highest customer score of 81per cent among large chains in Which?'s annual hotel survey. The group earned five stars for customer service and accuracy of descriptions, with guests praising its "lovely locations and excellent food and service.
"The survey, conducted amongst 4,631 guests, asked respondents to rate their stays across eight categories including cleanliness, customer service, breakfast quality, bed comfort and value for money. At an average £128 per night, Coaching Inn demonstrated that mid-range pricing with consistent quality appeals to British travellers.
J D Wetherspoon Hotels claimed both the Which? Recommended Provider status (WRPs) and Great Value badge for the first time, offering rooms at just £70 per night while maintaining four-star ratings across most categories. Guests described their stays as "clean, comfortable and good value.
"Among boutique chains, Hotel Indigo scored 79 per cent with its neighbourhood-inspired design, while InterContinental achieved 80per cent despite charging over £300 per night, and the chain missed WRP status for this reason.

Budget brands decline

However, Premier Inn, long considered Britain's reliable budget choice, lost its recommended status this year. Despite maintaining comfortable beds, guests reported "standards were slipping" and prices "no longer budget levels" at an average £94 per night.

The survey's biggest disappointment remains Britannia Hotels, scoring just 44 per cent and one star for bedroom and bathroom quality. This marks twelve consecutive years at the bottom, with guests at properties like Folkestone's Grand Burstin calling it a total dive.
