Mahavatar Narsimha Movie Review
According to the Sacnilk website, in just eight days, it has collected a strong Rs 44.25 crore at the Indian box office, making it one of the most successful Indian animated films in recent memory.
The Hindi version continues to drive a large portion of the collections, showing a growing interest among the north Indian audience for mythological content in animated form.

From the Twitter reviews it's sure that the audiences are loving the movie. One Twitter user wrote, "#MahavatarNarsimha It's the incredible story of how Lord Viṣṇu took the fierce form of Narasiṁha to protect His devotee Prahlāda, showing that the Lord will go to any extent to protect those who surrender to Him — even if it means breaking through pillars and time itself!.
" Another one wrote, "Just watched Mahaavatar Narasimha and it brought tears to my eyes.The way they portrayed Bhagwan Narasimha and Bhakta Prahlad was beyond powerful. Every scene was filled with divine energy, especially the Varaha Avatar and the majestic presence of Sri Vishnu."

Kingdom Box Office: Vijay Deverakonda starrer collects 44cr worldwide in 2 days
Telugu film Kingdom held moderately well on its second day at the Indian box office, grossing Rs. 9.50 crore approx. The two-day running total of the Vijay Deverakonda starrer is Rs. 27.75 crore approx. The film has collected another Rs. 16 crore (USD 1.85 million) overseas, giving it a worldwide gross of Rs. 43.75 crore. The film is expected to see a surge in business today and again on Sunday. If the growth on the weekend is good, it could aim for Rs. 55 crore extended weekend in India and Rs. 75 crore worldwide. The Day Wise Box Office Collections of Kingdom in India are as follows: While the box office numbers so far are not bad, the high production costs demanded a far stronger opening and a steadier hold. The film now needs to get that big growth on the weekend and then sustain well from there on. This isn't typically associated with Telugu films, which are usually very front-loaded, but that is exactly what Kingdom requires. There are also dubbed versions, which can often lend a helping hand in case of higher investment, but they haven't done so. Tamil has managed some numbers, not enough to make a real impact, while Hindi is a washout. Overseas, the film did well on its North American premiere but hasn't sustained well with collections coming down on the following two days. The Territorial Breakdown for Kingdom is as follows:

Kriti Sanon's skincare brand achieved Rs 400 crore in two years: ‘Targeting at Rs 1,200 crore next'
About two years ago, Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon launched her skincare company: Let's Hyphen. While she became the face of the brand, she collaborated with the team behind McCaffine, which was co-founded in 2016 by Tarun Sharma, Vaishali Gupta, Saurabh Singhal, Vikas Lachhwani and Mohit Jain. The same team pushed the growth of Let's Hyphen, which has achieved an annual revenue of Rs 400 crore in just two years. In a recent interview with CNBC-TV18, Kriti Sanon and Tarun Sharma shared the progress of their beauty brand. During their conversation, Kriti shared that she invested capital while building Hyphen. When asked the value, Tarun Sharma replied, 'Enough for us to scale in the first year.' Speaking about the targets they wanted to hit after achieving Rs 100 crore in the first year, Kriti shared, 'It was all part of our vision board. Actually Rs 100 crore came from the both of us. From the second year, whatever number he quoted, I just added a little and then aimed it because I know whatever he is saying, he is sure he can achieve it. So why not aim higher.' Tarun quickly added, 'She keeps on wishing. I say one number. For example: 'In four years, we will do this.' And she says, 'We can… but… can we do this?'' ALSO READ | Four-year-old Pallavi Joshi was slapped on camera by director because she wasn't crying on cue: 'My ego was hurt, didn't want to do films' Revealing the target Kriti has set for them currently, Tarun shared, 'Rs 1,000 crore in the next four years.' Kriti quickly corrected him, and said, 'No, this is his target.' Tarun then shared, 'Rs 1,000 crore is what I have set myself on. She is pushing for Rs 1,200 crore. We will see where we get.' Kriti said, 'I believe we can achieve Rs 1,000 crore in 2-3 years. So I have to push. You've got to dream bigger.' Explaining her ambition, Kriti shared, 'We thought of achieving Rs 400 crore in 2 years, but it happened in just 1 year. So I believe in my team and I know that we can do it.' Tarun laughed as he said, 'And good partners push each other.' Kriti said that she was apprehensive about the extra scrutiny that she'd get for becoming an entrepreneur, but she was prepared for it. 'Sometimes when it comes from a celebrity, there is a lot of scrutiny that happens. And I knew our products were good. So I didn't want to get unnecessary negativity because of my name being attached to Hyphen. Fortunately, I think some highs and lows we all have and that is all part of our journey,' she said.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra told Vidya Balan to get a nose job before Parineeta, she was terrified: ‘Tera naak bohot lamba hai, surgery karte hain'
Vidya Balan made a remarkable entry into Hindi cinema with Parineeta, an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's 1914 Bengali novella. Directed by the late Pradeep Sarkar and produced by veteran filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the film marked the beginning of her Bollywood journey. While she fondly remembers her association with Sarkar, who believed in her talent even as a newcomer, Vidya recently opened up about a moment that left her shaken just before filming began. In a candid conversation with Filmfare, the actor recalled how producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra suggested she undergo plastic surgery. 'He told me, 'Tera naak bohot lamba hai, surgery karwate hai.' Main dar gayi (He told me, 'Your nose is too long, let's get a surgery done.' I got scared). And I was like, 'I'm not going to do this'. And I'll tell you why, because to this day I have not touched my face. I get a facial done once in a while, and that's about it. I'm very particular, ki jaisa hai waisa hai, Bhagwan ne diya hai, bohot achha diya hai (The way it is, that's how it is. God gave it to me, and He gave it beautifully).' She also shared another difficult episode from her early years, before Parineeta, when she was working on a Malayalam film. The makers had asked her to change her surname, something she was deeply uncomfortable with. 'During my Malayalam film, they told me there is Manju Warrier, there is Samyukta Varma, who used their community names as their surnames. So you should also be called Vidya Iyer, not Vidya Balan. I changed my name and I cried, but my parents told me, 'You will always be Vidya Balan.' But again, they didn't know, right? The director and producer wrote to everyone saying, 'You're an Iyer anyway, so it's okay.' And then that film didn't happen. So I was very sure—if there is something I'm not comfortable doing, then it will definitely not work out. So when Mr Chopra told me, I was like, main dar gayi, and I came back and spoke to Dada (Pradeep Sarkar). I told him, 'Dada, aap sambhal lo…' and he was like, 'Nahi nahi, main manage kar lunga ('Dada, you handle it…' and he said, 'No, no, I'll manage it)'.' Also Read | Vidya Balan says Rekha is 'desire incarnate': 'I think she was made for the celluloid' Despite the pressures, Vidya reflected warmly on her experience working with Chopra's production house, calling it a 'protected environment' that helped her grow. 'I did my first three films with Vinod Chopra Films, so that's like my alma mater. I came from a protected environment, very disciplined, very professional. All the prep was done beforehand, you didn't waste time on set at all. These are things I learnt early on, and of course they added to my South Indian discipline anyway.' Last month, Parineeta completed 20 years, marking two decades of Vidya Balan in the Hindi film industry. She was last seen in the blockbuster horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
