Mohit Suri on Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's stardom: Feels like a career reset for me

India Today4 days ago
Mohit Suri's latest film 'Saiyaara' has taken the country by storm - and with it, launched its lead pair, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, into overnight stardom. In a conversation with India Today, the filmmaker opened up about how the young actors are navigating fame and how their journey is giving him a renewed sense of excitement.When asked how Ahaan and Aneet are coping with the newfound attention, Mohit revealed, 'They both call me at least twice a day to tell me their plan. I don't know why (laughs). I think they call their parents, and then they call me. And by the end of the day, they always have something unexpected to share that happened.'advertisementHe added that watching them experience stardom for the first time has been energising: 'It's just such a beautiful moment - seeing them discover this phase of their lives. For them, it's all new. While I'm obviously happy about the film's success and the love it's getting, the most heartening part is seeing it all through their eyes. It genuinely feels like I'm back at the beginning of my own career. It's a reset.'
Reflecting on the response, Mohit said, 'From 6 pm to 9 pm, I take time out just to receive calls from people telling me how much they've loved the film. And I love that. But what I love even more is seeing Ahaan and Aneet being celebrated. It's surreal.'Interestingly, the debutants have been kept away from the media to maintain a sense of mystery and intrigue - something the makers are consciously preserving as the buzz around 'Saiyaara' continues to grow.The romantic drama 'Saiyaara' is currently ruling the Indian box office.- EndsTrending Reel

Kingdom Box Office: Vijay Deverakonda starrer crumbles over the weekend, Collects 66cr worldwide in 4 days

Telugu film Kingdom had an ordinary weekend at the Indian box office with a poor trend. The Vijay Deverakonda starrer collected Rs. 47 crore approx in four days in India, while another Rs. 19 crore (USD 2.20 million) came internationally, for a worldwide weekend of Rs. 66 crore approx. The film opened decently for the cast; in fact, even the total numbers aren't bad from that pov, but the costs involved are high, which demanded a stronger opening. A strong trend over the weekend was crucial, but cracks appeared as early as Friday, and they opened wide by Sunday. The film remained flat on Saturday, and yesterday it actually dropped, which pretty much seals its fate. There will likely be a big drop today, and the film will be mostly out of cinemas within the first week. The Day Wise Box Office Collections of Kingdom in India are as follows: Kingdom is yet another FLOP from the Telugu film industry after the bombing of Hari Hara Veera Mallu just last week. The industry is having a horrific year at the box office, except for a couple of weeks of Sankranti Vashthunam during the holiday period. Vijay Deverakonda is also having a long rough patch with none of his films emerging HIT since before COVID. His last successful outing was Taxiwaala, which released back in 2018, making it seven years since he last tasted box office success. The Territorial Breakdown for Kingdom is as follows:

Music Meets Bells returns: A soulful celebration of Indian Classical Arts in New York

Santoor player Tarun Bhattacharya and Odissi dancer Sanchita Bhattacharya are reuniting for 'Music Meets Bells' at Matagiri in the USA, marking its return after seven years. Conceptualized with Pandit Ravi Shankar's blessings, the production blends santoor melodies with Odissi dance. Following international acclaim and a hiatus since their 2018 U.S. Marking the Commencement Day of Matagiri – The Sri Aurobindo Centre in the USA, the production 'Music Meets Bells' is set to make a grand return after a seven-year hiatus. This performance will reunite two Indian classical arts — Santoor player Pandit Tarun Bhattacharya and Odissi exponent Guru Sanchita Bhattacharya — on one stage. Originally conceptualized in 2012 with the blessings of the late sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar, Music Meets Bells is a confluence of sound and movement, blending the ethereal melodies of the santoor with the intricate rhythms of Odissi dance. The production has previously captivated global audiences, with performances spanning India, Hollywood, Taiwan, and other international venues. The upcoming concert in Kingston holds special significance, not only for marking the return of the duo's collaboration since their last U.S. tour in 2018 but also as a tribute to their continuing legacy in the world of Indian classical arts. Over the years, both artists have garnered international acclaim for their solo work, and this revival promises a powerful synergy of tradition and innovation. As the spiritual ambience of Matagiri sets the tone, Music Meets Bells aims to transport audiences into a meditative, cultural experience — celebrating the rich heritage of India through a mesmerizing blend of music and dance.
