Kangana Ranaut never shies away from expressing her opinions on anything she wishes, whether it's stating her point directly or taking an indirect jab at something. Kangana has always been vocal. Now, she has posted a note on her Instagram story amid the release of Alia Bhatt's 'Jigra'. Kangana Ranaut pens note on Jigra's release day Kangana wrote in her Instagram story, “When you destroy women-centric films and make sure that they don't work, they don't work, even when you make them. Read that again. Thanks.” Though the 'Emergency' actress didn't name anyone, it appears she is referring to Alia Bhatt's 'Jigra', as the film had a modest box office opening, according to reports by Sacnilk. The reported box office numbers suggest that 'Jigra' earned around ₹3.58 crore (net) on its first day across all languages in India. If Kangana's post is indeed aimed at Alia, this wouldn't be the first time she has taken a dig at her. In the past, she made strong statements about Bhatt during the release of 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. Before the release of 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', Kangana wrote, “This Friday, ₹200 crore will be burnt to ashes at the box office... for a papa (movie mafia daddy) ki pari (who likes to keep a British passport) because papa wants to prove that rom-com bimbo can act... the biggest drawback of the film is wrong casting... yeh nahi sudhrenge (these people won't change). No wonder screens are going to South and Hollywood films... Bollywood is destined for doom as long as movie mafia holds power...” About Kangana Ranaut's Work Front Kangana will next be seen in 'Emergency'. Written and directed by Kangana Ranaut, 'Emergency' stars her in the lead role and also features Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik in pivotal roles. The movie has received a U/A certificate from the CBFC, although the release date has yet to be announced. The release date will be revealed soon. About Alia Bhatt's 'Jigra' Director Vasan Bala, who previously helmed films like 'Monica O My Darling', the crime thriller 'Peddlers', and 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota', is the director of 'Jigra'. Produced under the banner of Dharma Productions and presented by Viacom18 Studios and Eternal Sunshine Productions, 'Jigra' is co-written by Debashish Irengbam and Vasan Bala. The film is set to hit theatres on October 11, 2024.

Banu frequently reminisces about the good old days, but today, October 11, is something special. For Saira Banu, it's not just another day—it’s her wedding anniversary. She penned a long note as she misses her better half, Dilip Kumar, on this special day. The actress took to Instagram and dropped four pictures.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saira Banu Khan (@sairabanu) She also penned a long note in the caption, describing the day of her union with Dilip Kumar in great detail. She started off her note as she wrote, “A nostalgic reminisce from the hospital bed of my dream wedding 58 years ago. ‘Do Sitaron Ka Zameen Par Hai Milan Aaj Ki Raat’, that’s what played on the radio all night on the 11th of October, our wedding anniversary, a day I wish had never ended. If someone had told me, ‘O Saira, you’ve got wings for real, you can fly’, I would have believed them without hesitation. That’s how surreal that day felt, 58 autumns ago. Our wedding, as beautiful as it was, was wonderfully chaotic. It was nothing extravagant”. Saira Banu’s wedding lehenga was stitched at the local darzi She shared that her wedding lehenga was stitched at a local darzi’s shop, and their families didn’t even have time to print the wedding invitations as everything happened so quickly. She further mentioned, “Had we had more time, my mother, Pari Chehra Naseem Banu, would have left no stone unturned, it would have been a parade of designers, jewellers, and what not. Originally the Nikaah was supposed to happen in November, but due to certain reasons, we had to rush. Dilip Sahib, phoned my mother from Kolkata, and said ‘Aap Ek Maulwi Ko Bulwaiye aur Nikaah Padhwa Dijiye’. Nevertheless, the day was filled with humorous little moments”. Fans self-invited them at Saira and Dilip Kumar's wedding She continued, “Dilip Sahib and I lived very close to one another, and when the Baraat arrived at my bungalow, his Ghodi began descending a slope, causing the umbrella on it to keep brushing against Sahib’s Sehra. As we proceeded with the rituals, hordes of fans self-invited themselves into my home upon hearing that their beloved actor was getting married”. She shared that there were so many people that she took two hours to descend from the upper floor just to perform the Nikaah rituals. Saira Banu recalls running out of food on big day “And, believe it or not, we even ran short of food. Imagine, the wedding of one of the greatest actors had a shortage of food! And the self-invited fans were collecting wedding souvenirs from downstairs whatever they could find: a spoon, a fork. Oh, it was hilarious", she added.

11 October,2024 06:26 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentRamayana: The Legend of Prince Rama', conceived by Yugo Sako and directed by Koichi Sasaki and Ram Mohan, is recognised as one of the earliest anime adaptations of an Indian epic. Completed in 1993, this remarkable film revolutionised the animation landscape by introducing Indian mythology to global audiences through the lens of Japanese anime, marking a significant milestone in animation history and fostering cultural ties between India and Japan. It also depicted Indian storytelling in a unique format, blending the artistic traditions of two countries in a way that had never been done before. 'Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama' is a landmark in storytelling, weaving together themes of enduring relationships, the triumph of good over evil, the harmonious connection between nature and living beings and, above all, the values of friendship and trust. With anticipation running high following the release of the teaser and posters, the filmmakers have made the decision to reschedule the release, ensuring the film reaches a wider audience and makes the impact it deserves. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Geek Pictures India (@geekpictures_india) In an official note shared via social media, the team confirmed that the film’s release, originally scheduled for October 18th, will now be adjusted. The announcement reads. Yugo Sako's Ramayana and why it is special Yugo Sako's journey of creating Ramayana was fueled by his deep admiration for Indian culture. He made several visits to India while working on a documentary film about archaeological excavations and found the perfect story in Ramayana to adapt into an animated feature, leading to the creation of 'Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama'. Sako saw the universal themes of love, friendship, and loyalty as the heart of the epic and believed that animation could help bring these values to children and adults across the world. With a team of 450 artists, the film was animated using nearly 1,00,000 hand-drawn cells. Sako chose traditional hand-drawn animation over computer animation because he believed it best captured the warmth and humanity of the Ramayana. His team’s dedication to this labour-intensive process gave the film an emotional depth, helping it achieve global acclaim. Many of the animators who worked on the project later contributed to iconic productions such as 'Pokémon', 'Dragon Ball Z', 'Doraemon', and films from Studio Ghibli, further cementing the film’s influence on the animation industry. 'Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama' will have a Pan-India release 'Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama' will be available in Hindi, English, Tamil, and Telugu. This cinematic masterpiece combines the richness of Indian culture with the brilliance of Japanese anime. Distributed theatrically across India by Geek Pictures India, AA Films, and Excel Entertainment, the film promises to captivate audiences nationwide.
