Dashing Priyanka Chopra: “It’s Almost Been 10 Years”

Priyanka Chopra has been working in both Bollywood and Hollywood for nearly 10 years. She enjoys being able to work in two of the largest film industries in the world. She recently lent her voice to a nature documentary film called Tiger, which tells the story of a tigress raising her four cubs in the jungle. Priyanka found it challenging to convey emotions with just her voice in this project.

Despite the challenge, Priyanka is excited about the opportunity to work on such a project and appreciates the support and guidance from the director and producer. She believes that people should watch Tiger to appreciate the majesty of creation and the resilience of the mother tigress.

Priyanka hopes that viewers will enjoy the film and take away a greater appreciation for the wonders of nature. She finds the jungle’s secret language and the challenges faced by the mother tigress and her cubs to be fascinating aspects of the story.

Priyanka shared, “When you are an actor, you are used to the audio-visual medium. And here, we are taking away the visual and it is just the audio medium. I think the challenge really is to be able to convey emotions with just your voice and not do too much, but yet be able to find the right balance.

Priyanka Chopra mentioned, “I would love for people to just take a moment and recognise the majesty of creation. It is only when you see other forms of creation besides ourselves and stop being self-centred and just look at the incredible magic of creation.

Behind the Scenes of ‘Game of Thrones’: Iron Thrones to New Languages

Thirteen years ago in 2011, the TV series “Game of Thrones” burst onto the scene and it is captivating audiences with its tale of power struggles, wars, and dragons. It quickly became a record-breaking phenomenon, captivating viewers worldwide.

The show intertwined themes of betrayal, romance, and political intrigue, keeping audiences eagerly awaiting each new episode. The setting of Winterfell played a prominent role, adding depth to the story.

Filled with fictional and mystical elements, “Game of Thrones” drew inspiration from ancient English, Greek, and even Martian tales. Some events in the series mirrored real-world history, while love stories added unique twists to the plot.

Originally planned as three movies, the story continued on television after the show’s immense success. Several actors from “Game of Thrones” also appeared in the “Harry Potter” series, showcasing their versatility.

The iconic Iron Throne, a central symbol in the show, took two months to construct, highlighting the attention to detail in production. Additionally, a new language was created for the series, featuring a vocabulary of 3000 words.

Each episode of “Game of Thrones” had a staggering budget of six million dollars, reflecting the high production value of the show. Interestingly, the Turkish military was prohibited from watching the series.

Despite its popularity, the show didn’t shy away from killing off characters, with 133 meeting their demise in the first four episodes alone. Furthermore, “Game of Thrones” holds the dubious distinction of being the most pirated download in history, underscoring its global impact.

Bollywood Box Office Battle: Shah Rukh Khan Impact on Q1 Business

The first quarter of the calendar year 2024 brought about significant changes in the Bollywood movie landscape compared to the same period in 2023. While some content-driven films with smaller budgets saw commercial success, the overall industry dynamics differed. Let’s look into the performance of major Bollywood releases in Q1.

The year kicked off with the big-budget spectacle “Fighter,” directed by Siddharth Anand and starring Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor. With a budget of 250 crore rupee, the film raked in 358.83 crore rupee at the box office.

Following suit was “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,” featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, directed by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah. Despite a smaller budget, the film garnered 141.25 crore rupee in collections.

“Article 370” proved to be a profitable venture for its makers, boasting an impressive return on investment. Made with 20 crore rupee, the film directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale grossed over 100 crore rupee worldwide. Similarly, Vikas Bahl’s “Shaitaan,” starring R Madhavan and Ajay Devgn, amassed nearly 200 crore rupee on a budget of 65 crore rupee.

The cumulative budget of Bollywood movies with theatrical releases in Q1CY24 amounted to around ₹710 crore. However, this figure excludes movies with collections below 1 crore rupee. The major releases collectively amassed approximately 1,040 crore rupee, indicating a profit margin of around 46.48%. This number is expected to rise further as movies like “Crew,” released in late March, continue their theatrical run.

In stark contrast, the first quarter of 2023 saw Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan” dominating the box office with a staggering collection of 1,055 crore rupee. Directed by Siddharth Anand and featuring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, the film surpassed the combined business of all major Q1CY24 releases. With a budget of 240 crore rupee, “Pathaan” emerged as a massive success.

Other notable releases in Q1CY23 included “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar,” directed by Luv Ranjan and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. Despite a budget of 180 crore rupee, the romantic comedy garnered ₹223 crore worldwide. Ajay Devgn’s “Bholaa,” made with 100 crore rupee, earned 123 crore rupee, while “Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway,” featuring Rani Mukerji, collected 38.3 crore rupee after a budget of 25 crore rupee.

The total budget for major releases in Q1CY23 was approximately 730 crore rupee, with a cumulative collection exceeding 1,500 crore rupee, translating to a profit margin of over 105%. The absence of the Shah Rukh Khan factor in Q1CY24 made a noticeable impact on Bollywood’s business landscape. No movie managed to cross the 500-crore rupee mark during this period, highlighting the significant influence of star power on box office performance.

From Tragedy to Triumph: The Rebirth of the Titanic!

The iconic Titanic is set to sail the seas once again! An Australian billionaire recently announced plans for Titanic-2. The original luxury ship met its tragic fate a century ago when it sank in the Atlantic Ocean during a voyage from England to New York due to an ice storm.

Despite the passage of time, the allure of the Titanic remains strong, with thousands of memories and questions still lingering. James Cameron’s film “Titanic” even won an Oscar, further fueling people’s fascination with the ill-fated vessel.

Now, the dream of reliving the Titanic experience will become a reality with the construction of Titanic-2. The new ship is announced by Australia’s Blue Star Line Company at a press conference held at the Sydney Opera House, will be an exact replica of its predecessor.

This isn’t the first time Titanic-2 has been announced; as similar announcements were made in 2012 and 2018. The project faced obstacles in the past including contract issues with the Chinese government after the initial announcement in 2012, and complications related to the COVID-19 pandemic after 2018.

To ensure the safety of Titanic-2, several changes will be implemented. The ship will feature numerous lifeboats equipped with navigation and radar systems for enhanced safety measures. Inside, there will be 835 dining tables to accommodate passengers, with a total capacity of 2345 people.

Half of the ship will be reserved for first-class passengers, and the dining experience will replicate the grandeur of the original Titanic, including long dining tables reminiscent of the past. Despite its tragic history, the Titanic continues to captivate the imagination of people worldwide. With the construction of Titanic-2, passengers will have the opportunity to embark on a journey reminiscent of the iconic voyage of the past, while ensuring modern safety standards are upheld.
