Chand Mera Dil Advance Booking: Lakshya and Ananya Panday starrer sells approx. 5,400 tickets across the Top 3 National chains

Chand Mera Dil, starring Lakshya and Ananya Panday, is showing good early signs with advance bookings. As of Wednesday at 12:30 PM, the film has sold around 5,400 tickets across the top three national chains—PVR Inox and Cinepolis. It's a romantic story produced by Karan Johar.

This film is a mid-budget movie with a new and fresh cast.
 Directed by Vivek Soni, it aims to sell about 25,000 tickets across the top three chains. That should help it open with around 4 crores, and the team hopes to build on that success.

The film is managing its costs well, and the music is getting good reactions.
 Positive word of mouth could help it do well in the long run. The strong start sets the stage for decent business down the line.

Chand Mera Dil is not a franchise film, and it's Lakshya's second movie after Kill.
 The opening could be 400% better than his first film, which is a great sign for his career in the Hindi film industry.

The film is also benefiting from its affordable pricing strategy.
 Now, it depends on the content to deliver a good performance.

Dhurandhar The Revenge lands in legal trouble over alleged disclosure of defence details; Delhi HC asks government and CBFC to take informed decision

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday told the Union government and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to look into claims that the movie Dhurandhar The Revenge, which stars Ranveer Singh, might have broken the Official Secrets Act by sharing confidential military information.



The case came up in court when a Division Bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia heard a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Deepak Kumar, a Head Constable with the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB).
 He was worried about the film’s content and said some scenes and references could be dangerous to the country’s security and integrity.

According to the plea, the film shows real military locations and characters based on high-ranking officials and deceased soldiers in a way that might not serve the nation’s interests.
 It also claimed the movie reveals information about drugs being tested by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

During the hearing, the court agreed that the movie is mostly fictional and meant for entertainment, but said the concerns raised in the petition couldn’t be ignored.
 “Even if the movie is just made up and for fun, the effect it might have can’t be ignored,” the Bench said.

The court also said that problems with exposing military details and tactics should be considered carefully.
 “The censor board should have some rules. We are just telling you to take the petition seriously and make a smart decision,” the court said.

Instead of stopping the film directly, the High Court closed the case by telling the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) and the CBFC to treat the petition as a formal request and make the right call on the issues mentioned.


“Given the nature of the issue and the concerns raised, we think the petition needs to be looked at seriously.
 We are ending this case by telling the MIB and CBFC to treat the entire petition as a formal request and make the right choice on the issues that were brought up,” the court ordered.

Dhurandhar The Revenge has already been getting a lot of attention because of Ranveer Singh’s role and the film’s big action scenes.
 But this new legal issue has added more attention to the movie, especially about how movies show military and intelligence topics.

The case also brings back the bigger discussion about whether filmmakers should have freedom to create or if national security should come first in movies based on military actions and real events.
 Filmmakers often draw from real life to make their stories more believable, but courts and certification bodies still struggle with balancing storytelling with national interests.

Rajkumar Hirani’s first web show Pritam and Pedro to stream on JioHotstar from July 3

Sometimes, the biggest stories start with the strangest clues. Imagine an old ATM on a beach, two men who don’t seem to fit together standing next to it, and a mystery that makes you want to know more right away. *Pritam and Pedro* is Rajkumar Hirani’s first streaming show, and it marks his big debut on JioHotstar. This project brings his special style of storytelling—full of warmth, emotion, and human connection—into the world of long-form streaming for the first time. It’s also a big step for mixing great cinema with modern streaming entertainment, offering viewers something new and exciting to experience.

*Pritam and Pedro*, directed by Avinash Arun, has just the right amount of charm to draw people in.
 It shows a world that feels real and full of surprises, while keeping the main story a mystery.

Alok Jain, Head of Hindi & English Entertainment Business at JioStar, said: “At JioHotstar, we believe in stories that feel personal yet universal.
 They should have warmth, humor, emotion, and a real connection to people. Rajkumar Hirani has shaped this kind of storytelling in a unique and consistent way. We are really excited to work with him as he starts his streaming journey, and we can’t wait to bring his special voice to our audience across the country.”

Speaking about the project, Rajkumar Hirani said: “I love stories where people from very different backgrounds end up together and have to deal with life in surprising ways.
 *Pritam and Pedro* has humor, heart, and a lot of fun. The long-form format let us spend more time with the characters and really get to know their journey. It was a great experience, and I’m happy to be working with JioHotstar on this.”

Main Vaapas Aaunga trailer launch: Naseeruddin Shah makes a RARE appearance; jokes “Maine kayi filmon mein bahut bura kaam kiya hai; my sons watch such films at 3 am on YouTube”

The trailer of the film Main Vaapas Aaunga was launched at a multiplex in Mumbai.
 The event was attended by director Imtiaz Ali, music composer A R Rahman, and actors Sharvari, Vedang Raina, Anjana Sukhani, Rajat Kapoor, Sanjay Suri, Manish Chaudhari, casting director Mukesh Chhabra, Girish Kumar, and Kumar Taurani from Tips, among others. Naseeruddin Shah made a special surprise appearance, which pleased everyone because it's not very common to see him at such events.  

When asked about his role in the film, Naseeruddin Shah started by joking, “Dekh hi lijiyega na film mein (laughs)?
” He then turned serious and said, “I believe that the credit for an actor's success should go to the writer and the director. If the writing is poor, even the best actor in the world can't do much to save the day. I am a living example of it. Maine kayi filmon mein bahut bura kaam bhi kiya hai. My sons (Imaad Shah and Vivaan Shah) watch such films at 3 am on YouTube. They wake me up and tell me, ‘Baba, aapki ek film chal rahi hai’! And I would rather sleep (laughs).”  

Naseeruddin continued, “Imtiaz has written a lovely script comprising beautiful dialogues and powerful situations.
 I have loved the films that he has made before. He has worked with a lot of love and honesty with the actors. Bahut hi kam aise directors mile hai jo actors ki performance ki wajah se retakes lete hai (laughs). And Imtiaz is one of them.”  

Imtiaz Ali was asked to speak about the veteran actor.
 He asked, “Taarif kahan se shuru karoon aapki?” Naseeruddin again joked, “Shuru se!”  

Imtiaz laughed and continued, “I went to meet him at his residence.
 I was told that he is a very serious actor. But when I met him, his whole concentration was on why I was not drinking tea. He wondered, ‘Kya chai acchi nahin hai?’. That's when I realized ki zyada serious lene ki zaroorat nahin hai. Normal banda hai!”  

He then told him, “I was very excited and fascinated to see you in a turban and play a Sikh gentleman, which I had never seen in my life.
 Everyone who watches the film's rough cut loves you the most in the film.”  

Once this was done, Naseeruddin Shah made a quick exit.
 Main Vaapas Aaunga releases in cinemas on June 12.
