Aamir Khan’s last release, Secret Superstar did not just receive love and praise in the superstar’s home country, India, but it has also entered the prestigious Top 5 list of all time grossing films worldwide. Even though Aamir Khan only had a cameo in the film, yet his loyal fans thronged the theatres to watch it because of their faith in the content that he brings to the table.

With the entry of Secret Superstar in the top 5 list, 3 of Aamir Khan’s films are now part of it. It is not an easy feat for any actor to have 3 of his films on the list of Top 5 Indian grossing films worldwide but Aamir Khan has managed to do that. With Dangal collecting 1908 crores, Secret Superstar collecting 874 crores and PK gathering 831 crores, Aamir Khan is the only Indian actor ever to set such a massive record with his films.

It’s not just about delivering superior content but it is also about doing that consistently. While all these above-mentioned films did phenomenally well in India, they also received humongous response overseas, especially in China.

Dangal: 1908 cr
Bahubali 2: 1700 cr
Secret Superstar: 874 cr
PK: 831 cr
Bajrangi Bhaijaan: 698 cr

In fact, according to Chinese IMDb, Aamir Khan is the top-ranked foreign actor there and Dangal is the top ranking film. The other two films apart from Aamir’s in the list of Top 5 Indian films worldwide are, Bajrangi Bhaijaan (5th rank) and Baahubali 2 (2nd rank).

With Rs 114.93 cr, Salman Khan sets new single-day record on Sunday With a business of Rs 45.53 crore; scores highest opener after Baahubali: The Conclusion

It was a merry Christmas for Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, who are sure to kick-start 2018 on a high note, considering Tiger Zinda Hai is ruling the box office. With a business of Rs 45.53 crore on Sunday, the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial venture set a new single-day record for Bollywood. The film raked in Rs 114.93 crore over the weekend, becoming the second highest grosser after Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which collected Rs 128 crore in its first weekend (only the Hindi dubbed version).

Khan’s Tubelight didn’t light up at the box office, but trade experts feel the superstar is back with a bang. Distributor-exhibitor Akshaye Rathi says, “Salman is critic and box-office proof. One bad film cannot deter his stardom. Everyone expected Tiger Zinda Hai to get a huge opening, but the numbers are insane.” Though the movie didn’t hit screens on a holiday, the positive word of mouth helped, says Rathi.

Trade analyst Komal Nahta feels Tiger Zinda Hai is “rewriting the box-office history in Hindi cinema”. “There is no stopping Salman and the film. Since Christmas was a holiday in India and abroad, the movie crossed Rs 150 crore on the fourth day. With the festive season and New Year next weekend, it’ll certainly earn Rs 200 crore.” Besides the film setting a record, Khan has also become the first B-Town actor to be part of 12 films that belong to the 100-crore club.

Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan are getting along like a house on fire. The newest bffs in Bollywood are giving major friendship goals to everyone. Sonam and Bebo who are currently shooting for their upcoming film ‘Veerey Di Wedding’ took some time off to relax.

Shikha Talsania, who is also starring in the film posted a video on Twitter, where we see Kareena and Sonam making fun of each other’s diets. We hear Rhea Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania in the background who are also pulling Sonam’s leg. Sonam is seen asking, “What do you want me to say?”, to which Swara replies, “What is your favorite dessert?”. Sonam replied, “It shouldn’t have calories.” Bebo joins in saying, “She shouldn’t eat desserts so she has just eaten a box of pringles.” Sonam then calls out Kareena for being ‘mean’ to her.

Hindi films now portraying women in a progressive way: KareenaKareena believes a modern Indian woman plays diverse roles in her life and she considers herself to be one

Kareena Kapoor Khan says she is proud and happy that Bollywood filmmakers are now showing women in a progressive way in movies. The actor attributes this change to the influx of young writers in films. In an interview to PTI, Kareena says, “One can definitely see a change in the way women have been portrayed on screen in the Hindi film industry.

“The roles are now written by young directors, who have been successful in highlighting the personality of women who are hardworking and successful. Films have now been portraying women in a more progressive manner.” The 36-year-old actor, who was last seen in “Udta Punjab”, welcomed her first child, Taimur Ali Khan, in December last year. Talking about balancing her work and motherhood, the actor says, “I have always maintained a personal and professional life but now it’s more difficult as Taimur is too young. I try to strike a balance. I have a great support system with (husband) Saif and my family.”

Kareena believes a modern Indian woman plays diverse roles in her life and she considers herself to be one. “She is a multifaceted woman, lives her life to the
fullest and fulfils her choices with confidence and style. I am proud to be a married, independent and working woman. I carry that with great honour and pride. Despite being married, I work and have my own identity.” Kareena is all charged up to begin work on her next project “Veere Di Wedding” alongside Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar.

However, she did not comment on the reports of her signing a biopic by Omung Kumar, another movie with Salman Khan and Karan Johar’s next. Meanwhile, the “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” star is the muse of designer Anita Dongre’s autumn winter campaign #IamAND, which celebrates the multifaceted personality of the modern Indian woman.

“AND is one brand that has changed the fashion scenario in the country. With its new campaign, the brand conveys a very strong message of celebrating the multifaceted personality of the modern Indian woman, which I truly identify with,” says Kareena.
