She earned more than top Bollywood stars, even refused 'Mughal-e-Azam' but today few remember India's first 'Lady Boss'
Bina Rai, born Krishna Sareen on July 13, 1931, in Lahore, rose to become one of the most formidable names in Hindi cinema during the 1950s. Following the Partition, her family moved to Kanpur, where she completed her education before joining Isabella Thoburn College in Lucknow. It was during her college years that Bina Rai 's passion for acting began to flourish through theatre. Despite prevailing taboos around women entering the film industry, Rai remained determined to pursue her dream. When a newspaper advertisement announced a talent hunt by director Kishore Sahu, she saw it as an opportunity. Her family strongly opposed her decision, but Bina Rai's resolve was unshaken—she reportedly went on a hunger strike until they relented. Early Breakthrough and Rapid Stardom Rai emerged as the winner of the contest and received a then-impressive prize of Rs 25,000. She was immediately cast in Sahu's film Kali Ghata, where her striking screen presence and acting talent drew attention. But it was her role in Anarkali (1953) that turned her into an overnight sensation. Her portrayal in the title role, coupled with the film's memorable music and dialogues, made a lasting impression. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo The enormous success of Anarkali solidified her position in the industry. Her performance was so iconic that when filmmaker K. Asif approached her for the role of Anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam, she declined. She believed that the impression she had already created with Anarkali should not be repeated. The role later went to Madhubala, who also left an indelible mark with it. Commanding Stardom and Unmatched Fees At a time when leading male actors earned between Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh per film, Bina Rai commanded Rs 1.5 lakh—an unheard-of figure for a heroine then. This was not just a paycheck; it symbolised the value she brought to films. Her name, which became synonymous with 'Lady Boss', alone could attract audiences and guarantee a film's success, reflecting the sway she held in an era largely dominated by men. Bina Rai starred in several notable films following Anarkali, including Ghunghat (1960), for which she received the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Other prominent works include Taj Mahal (1963), Genghis Khan, Pyaar Ka Sagar, and Shagoofa. Her roles often reflected grace and emotional depth, earning her admiration across audiences and critics alike. Life Beyond the Spotlight At the peak of her career, Bina Rai chose to step away from the arc lights. She married actor Premnath in 1952 and gradually distanced herself from the film industry to focus on family life. The couple had two sons, including Prem Kishan, who also ventured into films. Bina Rai passed away on December 6, 2009. Her career may have spanned only around 15 years, but her impact was enduring. She not only broke stereotypes by asserting her space in a male-dominated industry but also shaped the trajectory of female stardom in Hindi cinema. Her decision to work on her own terms, the fees she commanded, and the performances she delivered ensured her place among the most respected actresses of her time.

Maalik Box Office Collection Day 2: Rajkummar Rao's Film Sees A Jump
Maalik, starring Rajkummar Rao and Manushi Chillar, released in theatres on Friday (July 11). The Pulkit directorial had a decent opening of Rs 3.75 crore on its first day. The film further witnessed a growth in its box office figures on Saturday and minted Rs 5.25 crore, reported Sacnilk. With this, Maalik 's total domestic collection now stands at Rs 9 crore. The action thriller witnessed a 40 percent surge in the collection on July 12. Maalik witnessed an overall 18.84% Hindi occupancy on Day 2. The report added that the maximum occupancy was recorded in night shows at 32.85%, followed by evening shows at about 19.14%. Afternoon shows were next at 16.95% and the morning shows recorded 6.40% occupancy. Besides the lead duo, Maalik also features Prosenjit Chatterjee, Saurabh Shukla, Huma Qureshi, Anshumaan Pushkar, Swanand Kirkire, Rajendra Gupta and Medha Shankr in key roles. Rajkummar Rao plays the role of a violent gangster in the film. In an interview with NDTV, the actor was asked about whether he gets consumed by his onscreen persona while playing a dark character. Rajkummar said, "Stepping out of such an intense role is easier than getting into it, because getting into it, you're still figuring it out. There's a process of growing your beard and then beating up people, so that takes time. And to understand the core of the character is another thing altogether." He added, "Because I've never played such a ferocious character before, you know, someone with so much power. His name itself is Maalik, which took me time. But once you get it, then it's a lot of fun, and then the journey becomes very exciting." Maalik is produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani under the banners of Tips Films and Northern Lights Films.

Internet Is Furious After CBFC Cuts Kissing Scene From James Gunn's Superman: "This Isn't The 1980s"
Superman, starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, made its theatrical debut on Friday to largely positive reviews from both audiences and critics. The release also led to disappointment among some fans, who noticed that several romantic moments had been trimmed or removed entirely from the final cut. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) censored a 33-second kissing scene between Superman and Lois Lane, triggering a strong reaction online. Fans and celebrities like Shreya Dhanwanthary criticised the board's "sanskaari standards" as hypocritical, especially given the more explicit content often seen in Bollywood films. In a post shared on X, Shreya wrote, "If this is true, this is RIDICULOUS!!! Some ridiculous crap happens every day. Every. Damn. Day. Sure this is the least of our worries but is something done about anything else? There is some crap every day. Every. Damn. Day.' If this is true, this is RIDICULOUS!!! Some ridiculous crap happens every day. Every. Damn. Day. Sure this is the least of our worries but is something done about anything else? There is some crap every day. Every. Damn. Day. — Shreya Dhanwanthary (@shreyadhan13) July 11, 2025 Another user wrote, "You can have lewd double meaning jokes in Housefull 5.

The Internet can do wonders. The next movement should be started in order to abolish the CBFC. They ruined Oppenheimer, F1 & now Superman. We should have a CERTIFICATION BOARD, not a censor board," read a post. Kissing is a sacred act of love, but our country makes it look like a crime. Internet can do wonders.

(@abasu4ever) July 11, 2025 According to a Bollywood Hungama report, CBFC deemed a scene "sensual" and asked for edits to secure a UA certificate for the film. To avoid delays, the filmmakers complied to make the cuts. Aside from that, CBFC also muted several curse words from the film. Many questioned why international films, marketed as simultaneous global releases, are delivered differently to Indian audiences. James Gunn's Superman has been successful at the box office. Moviegoers have praised the film for its uplifting tone, emotional depth and innovative take on the iconic character.
