Rajkumar Hirani, an Indian filmmaker, is known for his works in Hindi films. He is the recipient of several accolades, including four National Film Awards and 11 Filmfare Awards. Hirani is referred as one of the most successful filmmakers of Indian cinema. His movies are often lighthearted but revolve around significant societal issues with humor and emotional intelligence.
Some of his most notable works include:
Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003): a comedy-drama starring Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Boman Irani, Gracy Singh, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Sunil Dutt in lead roles. The film received positive reviews from critics upon release and emerged as a commercial success at the box-office. Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006): the second installment of the Munna Bhai franchise, which retained some of the original cast, including Sanjay Dutt, Warsi, and Boman Irani, and added Vidya Balan as the female lead replacing Gracy Singh. The film proved to be Hirani’s highest-grossing release to that point.

For veteran Bollywood filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, his latest film “12th Fail” is the gift that keeps on giving.
Based on the 2019 book of the same name by Anurag Pathak, the film tells the true story of Manoj Kumar Sharma who conquered extreme familial poverty to pass one of the world’s toughest examination processes and become an Indian Police Service officer.
Distributed by Zee Studios, the modestly budgeted “12th Fail” released theatrically in October 2023 in a Bollywood market where only big-budget action spectacles were working and many smaller films were taking the easier route to bowing directly on a streamer. The lead cast of Vikrant Massey (Disney+ Series “Criminal Justice”) and Medha Shankr, while extremely competent, were not marquee names.
The film struck a chord with audiences and has grossed $8.5 million to date, more than three times its budget. “Each film has its own God, and it’s always...

Rajkumar Hirani’s Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Dunki’ is a comedy-drama film based on ‘donkey flights’ (termed as ‘dunki’ in Punjabi), an illegal immigration activity used for unauthorized entry into countries like the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This method has gained notoriety among migrants, particularly those from Indian states such as Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat. Apparently the title of the film only works as its curiosity factor, as the film has nothing much about the ‘Dunki’ business and touches just the surface!
‘Dunki’ marks Shah Rukh Khan’s maiden collaboration with Raj Kumar Hirani, who had (reportedly) earlier offered him roles in his films Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003) and 3 Idiots (2009) which Srk had rejected. Dunki is Taapsee Pannu’s first onscreen collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan whose Red Chillies Entertainment had earlier produced Taapsee starrer ‘Badla’.

Sanjay Dutt Aims to Bring Heroism Back to Bollywood With Three Dimension Motion Pictures (Exclusive)
Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt is launching production company Three Dimension Motion Pictures with a view to bringing back the golden age of heroism to the industry.
Dutt cites the recent pan-Indian box office success of South Indian film “Pushpa” and the films of “Baahubali” filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli as examples of the vanished larger-than-life heroism in Bollywood.
“We’re trying to get back what we had, what the South Indian films are doing now,” Dutt tells Variety. “When we entered the film industry, we started off with the heroism, the heroic roles, the mass love and everything, and I just saw that stopping. And I am trying to revive that.”
Dutt, 62, the son of respected actors turned politicians Sunil and Nargis Dutt, debuted with “Rocky” (1981), in an era where leading men of mainstream Indian cinema were written as a complete heroic package. In the Bollywood of today that genre is reduced to a niche,...

New Delhi, Jan 19 (Ians) Critically acclaimed actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui says he loves playing dry characters that do not go overboard with emotions, even though the audience rarely roots for such roles.
The actor has been in business for over two decades, and he has his favourites when it comes to his characters. Surprisingly, they are not the ones that brought him fame.
"The characters that are my favourite, are not liked by people much. My favourite character was the one that I played in 'Photograph' (street photographer Rafi). I had done a film called 'Patang'. I like that character (wedding band-singer Chakku) too because there wasn't much acting involved. While doing these roles, the intention was to show an ordinary man with no special qualities, and less drama," he told Ians.
"But these kind of characters are generally not liked by the audience. I am not saying that the audience is wrong.
New Delhi, Jan 19 (Ians) Critically acclaimed actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui says he loves playing dry characters that do not go overboard with emotions, even though the audience rarely roots for such roles.
The actor has been in business for over two decades, and he has his favourites when it comes to his characters. Surprisingly, they are not the ones that brought him fame.
"The characters that are my favourite, are not liked by people much. My favourite character was the one that I played in 'Photograph' (street photographer Rafi). I had done a film called 'Patang'. I like that character (wedding band-singer Chakku) too because there wasn't much acting involved. While doing these roles, the intention was to show an ordinary man with no special qualities, and less drama," he told Ians.

Mumbai: The King Khan Srk as Munnabhai M.B.B.S. is such a laughable idea but it was him precisely who Vidhu Vinod Chopra had in mind while the casting for the film was being done. And indeed if it were not for Shah Rukh’s persistent back pain problems, Chopra would have had his way and Srk would have been our Munnabhai.
As of today, it is quite hard to think of, let alone imagine, even Srk for that matter, stepping into Sanjay Dutt’s shoes. Sanju baba’s portrayal of the endearingly lovable gangster is undoubtedly irreplaceable. It is funny to know therefore that Srk was being considered as the first choice for the lead role of Munna. In fact, Chopra says that Shah Rukh Khan was and has always been his first choice for the lead role in all his films. He went on to add that Shah Rukh.
