Do You Need to Watch the First Two Parts to Enjoy ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ and ‘Singham Again’?

November 3, 2024, 2:37 pm

This Diwali, fans have plenty of options with the release of two major Bollywood films: Rohit Shetty’s cop drama Singham Again, featuring Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor, and Anees Bazmee’s horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan. Both films are the third entries in their respective franchises, raising the question: Do you need to watch the first two parts to enjoy these threequels independently?

Singham Again

The original Singham, released in 2011, introduced Ajay as the titular police officer, a role he reprises in this new installment. Kareena, who appeared as his love interest Avani in the sequel Singham Returns (2014), returns as well. However, viewers can enjoy Singham Again without prior knowledge of the earlier films. It’s only essential to know that Bajirao Singham, a cop, is married to Avani, a Cultural Ministry official, and they have a son.

Singham Again is more closely related to Sooryavanshi, the 2022 film that introduced Jackie Shroff’s character, Omar Bashir, who is one of the main villains in the new film. His backstory helps viewers understand the chief antagonist, Danger Lanka (Arjun Kapoor). Although Simmba (2018) is part of Rohit Shetty’s cop universe, it’s not necessary to watch it before viewing Singham Again.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

The first Bhool Bhulaiyaa premiered in 2007, directed by Priyadarshan and featuring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan. The connection to the threequel lies solely in the character of Manjulika, portrayed by Vidya Balan. Audiences only need to know that she is a Bengali witch who was formerly a celebrated dancer in a royal court. In Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Vidya’s Manjulika comes from a different lineage, kingdom, and contemporary identity.

The film also connects to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), directed by Anees Bazmee, through the character Ruhaan, aka Rooh Baba, played by Kartik Aaryan. He returns with a new mission and a new love interest, portrayed by Triptii Dimri. While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 revisits characters from the previous films, it is designed to stand completely on its own.

WATCH: Arjun Kapoor Visits Siddhivinayak Temple, Prepares for Villainous Role in ‘Singham Again’

November 1, 2024, 2:51 pm

In anticipation of the release of his upcoming film ‘Singham Again’, actor Arjun Kapoor visited the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, walking barefoot to seek divine blessings. Videos of Arjun, dressed in traditional ivory attire, circulating on social media show him entering and exiting the temple after his darshan.

In a recent interview, Arjun revealed that he took a step back from the public eye for nearly a year to fully dedicate himself to his role as the antagonist, Danger Lanka, in the film directed by Rohit Shetty. “I had the biggest film of the industry to shoot, and I didn’t want to be distracted. Sometimes when you go missing for a few days or lay low, people may remember you and see you in a new light,” he explained.

The actor emphasized that he completely immersed himself in preparing for his character. “I just switched off to focus on this one particular film, treating it almost like my debut all over again.” He aimed to be “so clear and available” for *Singham Again* that it took precedence over everything else. According to him, the character emerged from Rohit’s vision, which allowed him to fully embrace the role.

Working alongside Ajay Devgn has been particularly impactful for Arjun. “If I may dare to say so, he’s someone I admire so much that I’d love to emulate even 5 percent of what he’s achieved. I would be amazed and incredibly proud of myself,” he remarked.

The third installment of the *Singham* franchise features a star-studded cast, including Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham, Ranveer Singh as Simmba, Akshay Kumar as DCP Veer Sooryavanshi, Kareena Kapoor as Singham’s wife Avni, Deepika Padukone as police officer Shakti Shetty, along with Ravi Kishan, Jackie Shroff, and Tiger Shroff.

Singham Again, which offers a contemporary twist on the Ramayan, premiered today in celebration of Diwali.

While many celebrated Khan’s return, not all fans were satisfied with his cameo.

Setting Up for More

Salman Khan’s cameo in Singham Again serves as a teaser for the upcoming sequel, Mission Chulbul Singham, leaving fans eager for more. The film has certainly set the stage for the next chapter in Shetty’s cop universe, blending excitement with a touch of nostalgia for one of Bollywood’s beloved characters.

Saudi Arabia Bans Singham Again & Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: Here’s Why

October 31, 2024, 9:28 pm

This Diwali season, Bollywood titans Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 were set to battle it out at the box office with immense anticipation surrounding both films. However, fans in Saudi Arabia will miss out on the excitement as both films have been banned in the country.

Saudi Arabia’s Strict Censorship Policies

Saudi Arabia is known for its stringent film censorship regulations, focusing on content that aligns with the country’s cultural and religious values. Content with themes of violence, nationalism, and certain religious portrayals may face restrictions, which has impacted several international films in recent years. Sources indicate that Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 did not meet these regulatory standards, leading to their ban in Saudi theaters.

Not the First Time for Bollywood Films

This isn’t the first instance of Bollywood movies facing restrictions in Saudi Arabia. Last year, Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 was banned in Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar due to alleged negative portrayals. Similarly, Fighter starring Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan, faced restrictions due to its patriotic theme.

Tamil Film Amaran Also Barred from Release

Alongside these Bollywood releases, Tamil film Amaran, based on the valor of Major Mukund Varadarajan, will also not be screened in Saudi Arabia. Known for its patriotic narrative, Amaran is reportedly banned under similar guidelines, although it will still premiere in other parts of the UAE.

Selective Film Edits: A Common Practice

In some cases, films with controversial themes are selectively edited to align with Saudi regulations. However, when edits cannot sufficiently conform to local guidelines, films may face outright bans, as in the case of Singham Again, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, and Amaran.

For Bollywood and Tamil cinema fans in Saudi Arabia, this Diwali may lack the cinematic spark, but these movies remain accessible in other regions across the UAE.

October 31, 2024, 12:36 am

Advance ticket sales for the Diwali films of this year: Rohit Shetty’s action- packed Singham Again and Anees Bazmee’s horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. According to a report in News18, the price of the tickets has gone up by over ₹2,500 in major metropolitan cities, including Mumbai and Delhi.
Costliest Tickets

Maison PVR: Mumbai’s Jio World Drive is charging the highest sum of ₹2,700 for both Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. In Delhi’s Ambience Mall, both films are at the same price of ₹2,400 at PVR Director’s Cut.

According to The Indian Express, Singham Again is likely to open at ₹35 crore on Friday, November 1, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is estimated to rake in ₹25 crore on the same day in India. Advance bookings for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 had started earlier, but multiplex chains like PVR INOX and Cinepolis have opened advance bookings for both films together on Wednesday morning.

About This Year’s Diwali Releases

Both films are franchises’ third films, and the Singham Again film is the franchise of Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn’s Singham film franchise, as the original film by Rohit was released in 2011 and the sequel that also starred Kareena Kapoor made it to the big screens in 2014. Kareena will reprise the same role, a wife to Ajay again. Singham Again is the part of Rohit’s cop universe, starring Akshay Kumar as Sooryavanshi, Ranveer Singh as Simmba, and Deepika Padukone as “Lady Singham” Shakti Shetty, and the movie also features Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Ravi Kishan, and Jackie Shroff. The movie is produced by Rohit Shetty Picturez and Reliance Entertainment and written by Milap Zaveri.

On the other hand, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is a sequel, as the first film was made in 2007. Vidya Balan once again plays the role that had become iconic for her in the first film- Manjulika-and Kartik Aaryan plays Rooh Baba of the 2022 film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Cine1 Studios and T-Series produced this third installment, featuring Madhuri Dixit, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, and Vijay Raaz, among others.

Arjun Kapoor Confirms He Is Single Right Now

October 28, 2024, 10:34 pm

Arjun Kapoor‘s recent appearance at politician Raj Thackeray’s Diwali bash on Monday stirred up major buzz around his relationship status with Malaika Arora. Attending the gathering with the cast of his upcoming film Singham Again, Kapoor responded to an audience question that led to an unexpected revelation: he is “single.” This statement has indirectly confirmed the ongoing breakup rumors that have surrounded the couple over the last few months.

Arjun and Malaika‘s relationship, which began in 2018, has been under the spotlight but rarely addressed openly by the pair. They had previously offered fans glimpses into their romance through shared vacation photos and birthday wishes on social media. Their relationship was notable in Bollywood, given both their high profiles and the fact that Malaika, previously married to actor Arbaaz Khan, is twelve years older than Kapoor. Together, she and Khan co-parent their son, Arhaan, since their divorce in 2017.

For months, fans have speculated about a possible split, which gained traction as Malaika chose to skip Arjun’s birthday celebration in June. Reports and paparazzi sightings indicated that the couple avoided each other at several public events, fueling rumors of their separation. In an interview earlier in October, Malaika indirectly hinted at changes in her life, sharing that she harbors “no regrets” and views all her life choices as valuable learning experiences. While she didn’t directly mention the breakup, her words have since been interpreted as a subtle acknowledgment of the end of her relationship with Kapoor. Additionally, Malaika unfollowed several of Arjun’s family members on social media, adding to fans’ suspicions about their split.

Meanwhile, Arjun has kept his feelings guarded, only recently posting a cryptic Instagram story that seemed to reflect on personal pain and resilience. The post read, “It was once the answer to your prayers,” which many followers took as a sign of his introspective take on the recent breakup. These subtle indications, coupled with his Diwali bash admission, strongly suggest that the two have chosen to part ways.

Professionally, both actors have a busy slate. Arjun Kapoor is set to play a villainous role in Singham Again, a highly anticipated third installment in Rohit Shetty’s Singham series, which has seen success with its earlier releases in 2011 and 2014. This latest movie, slated for a Diwali release, includes a star-studded cast featuring Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Deepika Padukone. Malaika, meanwhile, has continued to make headlines with her fashion and fitness endeavors, and her statement about “living without regrets” points to her focus on personal growth and new beginnings.

The public’s response to this development reflects the curiosity around their relationship’s journey, given its notable influence on discussions around age differences and social expectations in celebrity relationships. While neither Arjun nor Malaika has offered extensive commentary beyond subtle hints, their individual stances hint that both are moving forward with positivity and resilience, each in their own way.

World’s Costliest TV Show Has $1 Billion Budget, Outspending Brahmastra, Singham Again, and Jawan Per Episode

October 24, 2024, 2:55 pm

Television has traditionally been viewed as the less glamorous sibling of cinema, often overshadowed by the larger-than-life scale of films, both in India and the West. However, the rise of streaming services has transformed this perception, allowing TV shows to boast significantly larger budgets and more expansive storytelling. One such show has set a new record, eclipsing even the priciest films ever made.

World’s Most Expensive TV Show

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ holds the title of the most expensive TV show in history. Premiering on Amazon Prime Video in 2022, it cost Amazon Studios an astonishing $1 billion (₹8,300 crore), according to Deadline. This figure encompasses the rights acquisition and promotional expenses for the first season. Collider reported that the production costs alone reached around $465 million (over Rs. 3,800 crore), with each of the eight episodes costing an eye-watering $58 million (Rs. 480 crore).

How ‘Rings of Power’ Towers Above Big Films

In comparison, the most expensive film to date, ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’, had a production budget of $447 million, which is still less than that of ‘The Rings of Power’. Notably, the original ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy had a combined production cost of just $260 million for all three films, highlighting how far the spinoff has advanced in financial terms.

When it comes to Indian cinema, the gap is even wider. The most costly Indian films, including ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, ‘RRR’, and ‘Adipurush’, have budgets ranging from $70 to $75 million, a mere fraction (1/15th) of ‘The Rings of Power’s season 1 total cost. Remarkably, the per-episode production cost of $58 million surpasses the budgets of major Indian films like ‘Brahmastra Part One’ ($45 million), ‘Singham Again’ ($42 million), and ‘Jawan’ ($36 million).

All About Rings of Power

Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s appendices, ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ explores the rise of Sauron, the main antagonist in Tolkien’s lore. Set centuries before the events of ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’, the show introduces new characters alongside beloved favorites. While the first season received mixed reviews, it garnered solid ratings, and a second season, which received a better reception, was released earlier this year.

‘Blockbuster Alert’: Salman Khan’s Chulbul Pandey Cameo To Be Seen In Singham Again

Salman Khan is refusing to let security concerns derail his career, as confirmed reports indicate that he will make a special cameo in the much-anticipated film Singham Again. This announcement comes from Rohit Shetty Films, exciting fans and raising expectations for the film’s release.

Chulbul Panday Returns

In Singham Again, Salman Khan will reprise his iconic role as Chulbul Panday, the charismatic cop from the Dabangg franchise. Fans have expressed enthusiasm over the news, with many believing that Khan’s involvement will significantly enhance the film’s box office potential. One fan remarked, “Salman Khan’s cameo will give it unimaginable push at the box office.” Another added, “If it’s happening, that’s insane! Blockbuster alert ???! Chulbul meets Singham.”

Ranveer Singh also shared that Deepika was pregnant while filming Singham Again and introduced their daughter as “baby Simmba.” He added, “This is my baby’s debut. Wishing you all a Happy Diwali from Simmba, baby Simmba, and Lady Singham.”

The Singham Again trailer opens with Kareena Kapoor’s character, Avni Kamat, narrating to her son how Ram traveled 3,000 kilometers to rescue Sita.

“Singham Again” Trailer Sparks Divided Reactions Over Ramayana References

October 7, 2024, 6:16 pm

The trailer for “Singham Again,” directed by Rohit Shetty, has ignited a heated debate online, particularly regarding its references to the Ramayana. While some viewers praised Shetty for presenting a more compelling interpretation of the epic in just five minutes, others argue that Mani Ratnam’s “Raavanan” remains superior.

Ramayana Parallels in the Trailer

In the trailer, Shetty draws clear parallels between the characters and the Ramayana. Ajay Devgn’s Bajirao Singham and Kareena Kapoor’s Avni Kamat are likened to Ram and Sita, while Tiger Shroff’s Satya represents Lakshman, Ranveer Singh’s Simmba takes on the role of Hanuman, Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi is cast as Jayatu, and Arjun Kapoor’s Danger Lanka embodies Ravan.

Social media reactions varied widely, with some users on X (formerly Twitter) asserting that “Rohit Shetty showed better #Ramayana than Om Raut in this 5 min trailer!” Another user commented, “Rohit Shetty could have made a better Adipurush than Om Raut.” Deepika Padukone’s role as Ahalya was also noted, with fans expressing excitement over her character’s portrayal.

Despite the enthusiasm, not all viewers were impressed. Critics expressed disappointment, with one stating, “If you want to watch a cop movie that is a loose modern-day adaptation of Ramayana, then don’t watch Singham Again. Instead, just sit at home and watch Mani Ratnam’s Raavanan.” Another user lamented, “Man I had huge hopes for Singham Again. But as per the trailer, it is a cringe fest, bad acting, mediocre VFX, and unnecessary Ramayana references.”

However, fans of Deepika Padukone celebrated her role, with one writing, “Centre of attraction, the lady lead of the #SinghamAgain, she is too good in just 5 minutes. Can’t wait for the movie, queen she is!” Additionally, Arjun Kapoor’s portrayal as the antagonist garnered positive feedback, with viewers noting his potential ‘redemption arc.’

About “Singham Again”

Released on Monday, the “Singham Again” trailer hints at a storyline where Bajirao must rescue his wife, Avni, after she is kidnapped by Lanka. The film, featuring an ensemble cast, is set to hit theaters on November 1, coinciding with Diwali celebrations.

SINGHAM AGAIN RELEASE IS BACK THIS DIWALI

Rohit Shetty’s highly anticipated film Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, will no longer hit theaters on August 15, 2024, as initially planned.

According to reports, Shetty and Devgn want to ensure the film’s quality isn’t compromised by rushing through the shoot.

A trade source revealed that while the team has been working tirelessly, the project needs more time to meet its vision. Discussions with Jio Studios led to the decision for a Diwali release, which has been a successful time for previous collaborations between Ajay and Rohit. This move also avoids a potential clash with Pushpa: The Rule, making Diwali 2024 a promising release window for Singham Again.

The Build-Up to the Big Diwali Clash

Reports had surfaced earlier about the possibility of the two films avoiding a clash. Allegedly, the producers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 reached out to Singham Again‘s team, requesting a delay in their release. At the same time, rumors swirled that Rohit Shetty’s team was considering postponing the release due to the recent success of Stree 2, which also falls within the horror-comedy genre. However, both production teams seem adamant about their respective Diwali releases, setting the stage for a major face-off.

Anees Bazmee’s Take on the Clash

Director Anees Bazmee, who helms Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, has expressed his confidence in the film, despite the impending competition. In a conversation with Mid-Day, Bazmee shared, “Clashes are never ideal, but I am incredibly confident about what we’re creating. While Singham Again is sticking to its Diwali release, we announced our date a year in advance. At the end of the day, a good film doesn’t need a specific release date to succeed.”

Singham Again Sticks to Diwali Launch

Despite the speculation, it has been confirmed that Singham Again will not be moving its release date. According to an insider, the team behind Singham Again is firmly sticking to their Diwali release plan. “The trailer launch is expected to take place on either October 2 or 3, and they are not considering any changes,” the source said.

A Clash of Titans at the Box Office

With both Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again locking in their Diwali release dates, the box office showdown is set to be a massive event. While industry experts believe the clash could impact the final box office numbers for both films, the excitement surrounding both releases is undeniable. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how these two much-anticipated films will fare during one of the busiest weekends of the year.

This Diwali, audiences will have to choose between two blockbuster films — will it be the spooky, comedic thrills of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, or the high-octane action of Singham Again? One thing is for certain: it’s going to be a Diwali to remember.

Kareena Kapoor Khan Receives Court Notice For Using Term ‘Bible’ in Her Pregnancy Book Title

May 11, 2024, 11:23 pm

Kareena Kapoor Khan has been served a notice by the Madhya Pradesh High Court regarding her book title, ‘Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible,’ which includes the word ‘Bible.’ NDTV reported that an advocate named Christopher Anthony filed a petition objecting to the title and urging a ban on the book.

The advocate argued that the use of ‘Bible’ in Kareena’s book title is offensive to the Christian community’s sentiments and accused her of seeking “cheap publicity.” “Bible is the holy book of Christianity worldwide, and it’s inappropriate to compare Kareena Kapoor Khan’s pregnancy with the Bible,” he stated.

Justice Gurpal Singh Ahluwalia, a single-judge bench, issued the notice to Kareena Kapoor, demanding an explanation for the use of ‘Bible’ in the book’s title. Additionally, the notice was sent to the book’s sellers.

Initially, the advocate attempted to file an FIR against the actress, but the police declined. He then approached the lower court, but his plea was rejected, as he failed to demonstrate how the term “Bible” in the title was offensive. Subsequently, he appealed to the Additional Sessions Court, but his petition was dismissed there as well.

On the professional front, Kareena Kapoor recently starred in “Crew,” released in March this year, alongside Tabu and Kriti Sanon. The film revolves around the lives of three flight attendants in a financially struggling airline sector, entangled in a web of lies and deception.

Next, Kareena is set to appear in Rohit Shetty’s highly anticipated “Singham Again,” alongside Ajay Devgn, Arjun Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Tiger Shroff. In a conversation with Variety, she discussed her and Deepika Padukone’s pivotal roles in the Bollywood blockbuster.

Deepika Padukone has returned to the set of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’, despite being pregnant with her first child. Photographs taken by the paparazzi show the actor in full costume, shooting alongside Rohit and other cast members. Deepika was dressed in a police uniform, with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing sunglasses to complete the look. Although she announced her pregnancy in February, her baby bump was not visible in the photos shared by Zoom on Wednesday.

Fans expressed surprise at Deepika’s return to work, with one Twitter user asking, “Isn’t she pregnant?” Another user responded, “She can still shoot until she feels comfortable.” There was also a lighthearted comment, “Mother isn’t mothering yet?”

In ‘Singham Again’, Deepika plays Shakti Shetty, alongside Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, and Kareena Kapoor. The film brings together the major names from Rohit Shetty’s cop universe, with Arjun Kapoor portraying the villain.

Deepika and Ranveer announced their pregnancy in February through an Instagram post featuring baby shoes and clothing with the caption “September 2024.” The couple, both 38, got married in an intimate ceremony in 2018 in Lake Como, Italy. They also attended the pre-wedding functions of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Jamnagar, Gujarat, where Ranveer joked about becoming a dad.

Apart from ‘Singham Again’, Deepika will also be seen with Prabhas in the sci-fi fantasy movie ‘Kalki AD 2089’.

Will ‘Singham Again’ be rescheduled for Diwali 2024 to avoid conflict with ‘Pushpa: The Rule?’

April 13, 2024, 2:27 pm

Ajay Devgn starrer Singham will presumably avoid conflicting with Pushpa: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, as the movie is expected to be delayed till Diwali 2024.

There has been a lot of talk in the professional circles and on social media about the much-anticipated clash between Singham Again and Pushpa: The Rule on August 15. These two films are aimed at the same audience and are among the largest of the year. But according to the most recent rumors, Singham Again is not ready and will probably be delayed, thus the fight might not take place.

Singham Again to be rescheduled for Diwali 2024?

Singham Again needs additional time to be finished and isn’t ready for release on August 15. According to the source, the makers now intend to release the movie on Diwali 2024, so there’s less chance that it would conflict with Pushpa: The Rule, also known as Pushpa2.

It has been reported by a trade source that, “Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, and the team have been shooting day and night for Singham Again with the will to bring it during the August 15, 2024 weekend. However, the shoot is taking longer than expected as a film like Singham Again requires a lot of attention. Rohit and Ajay don’t want to rush through the proceedings only to make it to a certain release date. They want the scale and vision to come out exactly as fleshed on the paper without any compromise.”

According to the reports, Ajay and Rohit had already discussed and received approval to postpone the movie with Jio Studios. “Jio has suggested a Diwali 2024 release to Rohit and Ajay, and the duo is also considering the date. The timelines of VFX and background score are now being reworked keeping the Diwali 2024 deadline in mind. Diwali has also proved to be lucky for Ajay and Rohit combo,” the source mentioned.

About the Starcast

The third entry in the beloved Singham series and the fifth picture in the Rohit Shetty police universe is Singham Again. In addition to Ajay Devgn, the movie stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor.

Deepika, Tiger, and Arjun are newcomers to the cop universe, while Akshay, Ranveer, and Kareena have always been there. Arjun will be viewed as a villain, while Deepika and Tiger will portray police officers.

There are not many restrictions and I love that place. You stay there in the studio and you shoot there..it’s kind of boarding school… there is discipline..within two minutes you are on a set.”

Talking about the role of Ajay Devgn and whether he will reprise the character of Inspector Bajirao Singham, Shetty said, “He is upgraded now, although he is playing an officer but on a bigger level. He has a different mission altogether from the government.”
“Then there is Ranveer and Deepika,” he said
“They all come from a different region. It’s not like in one police station. The film travels. It travels from Mumbai to South till Rameswaram and forward from that,” reveals Shetty.
