    The trailer of Akshay Kumar’s next film, Laxmmi Bomb has garnered positive reactions and several endorsements from celebrities who posted on social media, showing just how excited they are for the film. However, that is just half the picture.

    Given that the filmmakers have decided to hide the like/dislike counter on the trailer, one cannot really fathom, how well or how negatively the movie is being perceived by the film-loving audience of India. One thing that is for certain is that memers and netizens are having a field day.


    One key thing that stood out to proper cinephiles is the part of the trailer, where Akshay, dressed in ‘drag,’ ululates. The scene does remind people of Ashutosh Rana’s iconic performance in Sangharsh.

    People who have seen Sangharsh will testify that it is, hands down, one of the best psychological thriller/horror films that India has ever made, and the credit for it largely goes to Ashutosh Rana’s menacing performance.

    Just this scene, which was not exactly scripted, and was shot completely on the fly scares the heck out of people.


    So powerful was Ashutosh Rana in this scene, in fact, that Mahesh Bhatt and Tanuja Chandra, the two filmmakers who were directing this scene, almost fell off of their chairs. In fact, both, Bhatt & Chandra, forgot to call cut at the end of the scene. There is a really interesting story as to what went behind the shooting of that particular scene.
    Without a doubt, Lajja Shankar Pandey is one of the most iconic villains of Indian cinema. Ashutosh Rana won the Filmfare award for the Best Actor In A Negative Role back then for that film.

    Given how comical the film is slated to be, and given just how comical (not to mention problematic) the trailer was, Akshay Kumar’s ululation cannot possibly match up to that. Certainly, it won’t have that same effect. The end result is that an iconic scene in India’s film history gets ruined.

    The fact that Akshay Kumar too was a part of Sangharsh doesn’t make things easier.

    To any filmmaker reading this, we just have one request. We get the idea of someone having the urge to pay homage to older classic films, and why one would be drawn to an idea like that. But remaking an iconic scene such as this, just for comic relief, is not the way to go about things. Please, stop ruining classic and iconic scenes from our film history.

    There are times when we are out of recommendations and it just becomes impossible to find the right show to watch. But then, we randomly pick something to pass our time and it turns out to be great. Do you know what I mean? Exactly! 

    Also, watching a series with zero expectations is the best thing as it’ll give you the thrills that you never expected. So, these shows did the same for us.
    Masaba Masaba 
    Now, this show is a light watch that you’ll end up loving. The show is about the South Bombay narrative of designer Masaba Gupta playing the lead role. Also, Neena Gupta will once again make you fall in love with her. The show has only 6 episodes of thirty minutes each and will let time fly if you are bored.

    Special Ops
    The plot of the story revolves around Himmat Singh, a RAW agent who trying to find the mystery behind a terrorist attack. The role was played by Kay Kay Menon and his performance will keep you hooked throughout the show.
    Criminal Justice 
    The show stars Vikrant Massey, Jackie Shroff, and Pankaj Tripathi along with others. The show is about a young MBA graduate who also drives a rental car part-time and gets entangled in a high society murder. The show will keep you at the edge of your seat.
    Bandish Bandits 
    The show stars Ritwik Bhowmick and Shreya Chaudhury in the lead role. The show also stars Naseeruddin Shah in an integral role. The series definitely deserves to be watched as Ritwik's stellar performance is something to be acknowledged. Not only this, the script of the show is extremely unique.
    City Of Dreams
    The plot of the show revolves around the assassination of a political figure. The show stars Priya Bapat, Eijaz Khan, and Flora Saini, among others. The show will surprise you with various twists and turns and Eijaz Khan has taken his acting to another level in this one.

    We know that Bollywood has been copying films from both Hollywood and the southern film industries for ages now. However, we have been living under the illusion that most of them do not do that well. Well, we couldn’t have been more wrong.
    Some of these copied films not just raked in a ton of cash, but saved dying careers too. But as film-going audiences, can you name the originals that Bollywood filmmakers copied or ‘remade’ in Hindi?

    Not many would know that Bollywood isn’t Khiladi Kumar’s only source of income. The 53-year-old actor (he doesn’t look a day older than 30, btw!) has multiple sources of income. He endorses over 20 top brands which have contributed a whopping amount to his annual earning of Rs. 356 crores in 2020, according to Forbes.  

    Along with being a phenomenal actor, Akshay is equally a successful entrepreneur and here we have listed out his multiple sources of income other than films: 
    1. Hari Om Entertainment - Production House  © Hari Om Entertainment
    In 2008, Akshay launched Hari Om Productions, based on his father’s name, with his mother, Aruna and wife Twinkle Khanna. 

    Since then, the successful label has bankrolled over 15 box office-hit movies ranging from Singh Is Kinng to Holiday: A Soldier is Never Off Duty, Airlift, Rustom and even Padman.
    2. Grazing Goat Pictures - Production House  © Grazing Goat Pictures
    Later in 2011, he launched Grazing Goat Pictures - a film and TV production company owned by the actor and Ashvini Yardi. 

    Interestingly, the label’s first film was the National-award winning OMG -- Oh My God! This company is specifically involved in backing up a lot of regional films. 
    So far, it has produced around five movies and one TV series called Jamai Raja.

    Well, if you haven’t heard about this yet then you were clearly living under a rock. PUBG, the popular online battle royale game, was banned in India owing to the border tensions with China. Soon, a few days after this decision was made, Akshay Kumar announced that he would be launching his own Battle Royale game - FAU-G. 

    He also shared that 20% of all profits made from the app would be donated to the Bharat Ke Veer trust.
    4. GOQii - Investor GOQii is a healthcare platform that was founded by former CEO & Founder of Indiagames. Although it is headquartered in California, it was made available in India in 2014 and has an office in Mumbai. 
    According to a report by the Economic Times, Akshay Kumar invested in the start-up in 2019. He is now among the company of other investors like Ratan Tata and Paytm founder, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, among others. 
    5. Khalsa Warriors (World Kabaddi League) To own a sports team is a dream come true and Akshay Kumar has, in fact, made this dream come true. 
    He owns the popular Khalsa Warriors (World Kabaddi League), which features players from Ludhiana and competed in the World Kabaddi League in 2014. 
    6. Best Deal TV Did you know Best Deal TV is a Hindi 24X7 home shopping television channel, owned by Akshay Kumar and Raj Kundra? This channel was launched in March 2015, is free-to-air and is available across all major cable and DTH platforms.

    7. Women’s Self Defense Centre  © Twitter/@Akkistaan
    Akshay is one actor who has always been vocal about fitness and has expressed his desire to see women learn self-defence, especially given that he is trained in the martial arts himself. In fact, he holds a black belt in Karate. 

    To help spread this passion and also arm the country’s women with some much-needed self-defence skills, Akshay Kumar, along with Shiv Sena’s Aaditya Thackeray, inaugurated the Women’s Self Defense Centre (WSDC) in Andheri, Mumbai. This institution imparts lessons on self-defence to women of any age free of cost. That’s incredible! 
    Now, we can clearly say that it comes as no surprise that Akshay Kumar is the highest-earning actor in India. In fact, a TOI report suggests that he pays the highest amount of tax in Bollywood.

    For six consecutive years, the actor has been paying Rs 19 crores to the government. Other than this, what’s also worth pointing out is that Akshay is also among the most philanthropic actors in Bollywood, having donated over Rs 25 crores towards fighting the coronavirus pandemic, according to Economic Times.

    On the work front, Akshay will be next seen in the much-awaited horror-comedy Laxxmi Bomb, which is the official Hindi remake of hit Tamil film Kanchana. 

    It is being helmed by Raghava Lawrence, who  also directed and starred in the original movie.

    Unrequited love, the most common trope in romantic Bollywood movies. It's a tragic yet beautiful thing that is honestly pretty hard to show. 

    One-sided love is extremely common in the day-to-day lives of people, it's a relatable subject and it's straight-up infuriating to see that plot done poorly. 
    © Dharma Productions
    Just a public service announcement - unrequited love is when one person falls in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way but then learns to work through their feelings without guilt-tripping or chasing after said person. 

    It's not continuously going after the person who doesn't return your affection, and it's not taking 'no' for an answer. Now that's just problematic.

    There are so many instances where Bollywood has shown the hero chasing after a girl, stalking a girl when she doesn't love him back and showing the story of him, eventually, wearing her down enough to fall in love with him as romantic. Hello police, please arrest the guy.

    So, here are some times when movies actually showed one-sided love in a realistic way that may or may not have led to a lot of character development: 
    1. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani © Dharma Productions
    It's pretty evident from the beginning of the movie that Aditi is in love with her friend Avi but her longing for him is limited to her suffering alone because of her feelings. Never once it went over to the creepy territory of her making that his problem.
    © Dharma Productions
    Eventually, her character has so much growth and she settles down with someone who loves her and who she loves as well. She knew she and Avi were not meant to be and it's great to see her moving on while also preserving her friendship with Avi.

    Jazz tricked Arjun into getting married, then revealed it was all a game for her after getting him to an entirely different country. And even then, Arjun always respected her, loved her, and never chased after her. 

    Him being a genuine guy and then her friend made her realize that she actually loved him back as well.

    It was such a natural progression of love that it showed how real-world romances work. Wholesome, 10/10.

    A one-sided love from an alien. Wow, did not know we needed someone not human to teach us about love
    © UTV Motion Pictures
    PK fell in love with Jaggu but he realized that she was still in love with Sarfaraz, and had been for years and years. He sacrificed his love to reunite the two people who had been waiting for each other for a long time. 

    Well, I did say one-sided love was tragic but it did give way to another love story to flourish.
    4. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani © UTV Motion Pictures
    Another story with the man in love reuniting the person he's in love with the person who she's in love with. Sounds complicated, but really isn't.

    Prem decided to change so much about himself just so he could impress Jenny and it's all very innocent. Then, when he finds out she's in love with someone else, he does everything in his power to help her have a happy life with the other guy.

    She, eventually, realizes that it was Prem she was in love with all this while and I know, it's such a cliche, but it's still not done forcefully.

    Hear me out before you come for my throat. The odd one out, but the most realistic portrayal of one-sided love, because if that's left unchecked, it can easily turn into an obsession. 

    It's great that the movie showed Rahul as the actual villain instead of 'oh no, the poor guy loves her so much, she doesn't appreciate him enough'.
    © Yash Raj Films
    It's a very realistic portrayal of what most women go through, what women are afraid of, and how a guy obsessed with a girl isn't romantic, it's straight-up criminal.
