Jackie Shroff Takes A Trip Down Memory Lane As Devdas Turns 23
Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film was based on the 1917 Bengali novel of the same name by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Devdas, the 2002 Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit in the leads holds a special place in Indian cinema due to its visual grandeur, tragic plot and memorable performances. The film is celebrated for its lavish sets, intricate costumes and the way it brought the classic novel to life with a modern sensibility. As the film clocked 23 years today, July 12, Jackie Shroff, who was also a part of Devdas, took a stroll down memory lane and shared some snippets from the iconic film. The clip begins with a scene of his character Chunnilal and Devdas (portrayed by SRK) followed by some hard-hitting scenes featuring Kirron Kher, Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit. Sharing the collage video on X, Jackie wrote in the caption, '#23YearsOfDevdas." #23YearsOfDevdas @bhansali_produc @iamsrk #AishwaryaRai @MadhuriDixit @KirronKherBJP #AnnaSingh #SanjayLeelaBhansali — Jackie Shroff (@bindasbhidu) July 12, 2025 Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film was based on the 1917 Bengali novel of the same name by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. It follows the tragic love story of Devdas Mukherjee and Parvati 'Paro' Chakraborty, childhood sweethearts whose families prevent their marriage due to social class differences. Devdas, heartbroken and unable to move on, turns to alcohol and finds solace with courtesan Chandramukhi, ultimately leading to his tragic demise. Devdas went out to win several accolades including 5 National Film Awards. The film was also recognized with awards for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, Best Choreography and Best Female Playback Singer. The music of Devdas was composed by Ismail Darbar, making it his second collaboration with Bhansali after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The film's songs still remain fresh to ears such as Dola Re Dola, Maar Daala, Silsila Ye Chaahat Ka, Kaahe Chhed Mohe and Chalak Chalak. Coming back to Jackie Shroff, he was recently seen in the killer-comedy Housefull 5. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film turned out to be a big hit.

Kolkata offers tribute to cinema legend Guru Dutt, with screenings of his masterpieces and lectures
Kolkata is offering tribute to cinema legend Guru Dutt, with screenings of his restored masterpieces and lectures. The Kolkata Centre for Creativity (KCC) hosted 'Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye Toh: Remembering Guru Dutt' on the occasion of the birth centenary of the filmmaker. As part of this commemoration, KCC is collaborating with the National Film Development Corporation – National Film Archive of India (NFDC-NFAI) to present a curated screening of 'Pyaasa' and exhibition of digital prints of original posters and film-stills alongside critical talks and archival materials that reframe Dutt's legacy for new audiences. An official statement from organisers says, 'engage with Dutt not as a nostalgic icon, but as a spectral presence–an artist whose images still whisper urgently to the present.' The day-long immersive tribute commenced with a keynote address titled 'Affect, Authorship and Ideology' which was an extensive exploration of the aesthetics and politics of Guru Dutt's films by Prof. Ira Bhaskar, the former Dean of Jawaharlal Nehru University. She spoke of how his films displayed a choreography of light and movement, molding with music. Professor Bhaskar analysed the politics of his film 'Pyaasa' which she described as a 'very hard-hitting critique of capitalism with its prostitution of human emotions and values at the altar of capital.' She goes on to probe into some more of his essential works–examining Dutt's reflections on patriarchy, feudalism, the emerging modernity and the capitalist film industry. 'He spoke fluent Bangla, and it was his life's dream to make a film in Bengali,' Professor Bhaskar said about Guru Dutt's love for Bengal and the influence it had on him. She mentioned that she will return to Kolkata in November this year for a seminar on Ritwik Ghatak, who she describes as another all-time obsession of hers. The day was completed with a screening of Pyaasa, one of Dutt's most celebrated films.

Maalik Box Office Day 1: Rajkummar Rao Film Is Off To A Slow Start, Earns Rs 3.48 Cr
Last Updated: Despite Rao's intense screen presence and the buzz around his role departure from typical characters, Maalik could not match the strong opening of his previous hit Bhool Chuk Maaf. Maalik, starring Rajkummar Rao, opened in cinemas on July 11, but its first-day box office performance fell short of expectations. The gritty gangster drama earned Rs 3.48 crore on Day 1, according to data from trade tracking portal Sacnilk. Despite Rao's intense screen presence and the buzz around his role departure from typical characters, Maalik could not match the strong opening of his previous hit Bhool Chuk Maaf, which collected Rs 7 crore on its first day. The opening collection of Maalik also trailed behind The Diplomat, John Abraham's recent political thriller that raked in Rs 4 crore on its first day. However, the film still fared better than Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, which opened with a disappointing Rs 32 lakh. Directed by Pulkit, Maalik features Rajkummar Rao in the titular role and marks another addition to the actor's diverse filmography. The film also stars Bengali cinema legend Prosenjit Chatterjee, former Miss World Manushi Chhillar, and Saurabh Sachdeva. Supporting roles are played by Saurabh Shukla, Anshumaan Pushkar, Swanand Kirkire, Rajendra Gupta, and Baljinder Kaur. Despite a powerful cast, the film has received mixed reviews. The News18 review states, 'Directed by Pulkit and produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani, Maalik tried hard to be a gritty gangster epic. But it looks like there's only a half-hearted attempt made at telling the audience how Rajkummar Rao's character turned into Maalik… The film quickly turned out to be a snooze fest 10 minutes into it as the makers used unnecessary fillers to complete the 2.5-hour movie." Written by Jyotsana Nath and Pulkit, the film was also criticised for weak dialogues and a confusing plot. While Rao's performance has earned some appreciation, the film's lack of gripping storytelling seems to have affected its box office appeal.
