The teaser for Dharma Productions’ upcoming romantic-comedy film, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,’ has been released. Along with the teaser, the makers have also released two songs, including the track ‘Bijuria.’ The song has sparked nostalgia for a previous hit by Sonu Nigam, also titled ‘Bijuria,’ which gained immense popularity in the 90s. During that era, Sonu Nigam had several successful albums, and the ‘Bijuria’ song is now entertaining audiences once again. The original ‘Bijuria’ song was featured on Sonu Nigam’s 1999 album ‘Mausam.’ It was a dance number performed by Sonu Nigam himself. He wrote and sang the song, and the music was composed by Ravi Pawar. The song is available on the Sonu Music India video YouTube channel, where it continues to captivate listeners.

The new song ‘Bijuria’ from ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ has been uploaded to the same YouTube channel. While maintaining the original theme, the new music is composed by Tanishk Bagchi along with Ravi Pawar. The lyrics have been slightly altered, written by Ajay Jhingran. The song is sung by Sonu Nigam and Asees Kaur.

Varun Dhawan recently danced to this song with Sonu Nigam, and he shared a video of it, mentioning it was a song from his childhood. He thanked Sonu Nigam in the post.

‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,’ directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar, stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles. Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Suresh Saraf, and Abhinav Sharma also have significant roles in the film. The film is scheduled to be released on October 2nd, and the trailer is yet to be released. Following the teaser, viewers are anticipating the movie. Shashank Khaitan has previously directed films like ‘Dhadak,’ ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania,’ ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania,’ ‘Bhoot,’ and ‘Govinda Naam Mera.’

News Analysis India — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The film ‘We Are Family’ seamlessly blends visual appeal with emotional depth, a rare feat in mainstream cinema. Director Siddharth Malhotra’s debut introduces a fresh perspective on urban relationships, drawing inspiration from the compassion of Sooraj Barjatya and the nuanced portrayals of Gulzar and Govind Nihalani. While borrowing elements from Chris Columbus’s ‘Stepmom,’ ‘We Are Family’ elevates the narrative. Kajol and Kareena Kapoor deliver powerful performances, portraying the wife and the other woman with a depth of empathy that surpasses the original. The film delicately explores the complexities of a fractured family, making the audience question why any of the Hollywood elements were needed in the first place.

Urvashi Rautela Joins Sunny Deol’s ‘Baap’: A Potential Challenge for Sanjay Dutt?

News Analysis India — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Sunny Deol is currently occupied with his upcoming projects. He recently completed work on ‘Border 2’ and is also slated to work on Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Ramayan.’ Before these, he has several other significant films in the pipeline. In the midst of this, a major update has emerged regarding his highly anticipated film, ‘Baap.’ Although the filming for ‘Baap’ was completed some time ago, and the actor playing the villain mentioned a potential release this year, a new piece of information has surfaced. This update does not involve Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, or Jackie Shroff, nor does it concern Mithun Chakraborty. Instead, it focuses on the entry of a less successful actress into the film.

Recent reports from a news website indicate that actress Urvashi Rautela has joined the cast of Sunny Deol’s ‘Baap.’ She is set to perform in a song. However, this could pose a challenge for Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt’s film. The reasons behind this are discussed below.

Who is in Sunny Deol’s ‘Baap’?

The film has been in the works for quite some time. While there haven’t been any official updates from Sunny Deol or the makers, information has been circulating on social media. The latest report reveals that Ahmed Khan has chosen Urvashi Rautela for a special number. This will be a remake of the popular song ‘Apsara Aali.’ It’s reported that Urvashi Rautela has already filmed her part. The song’s shoot was completed in just three days.

She will be sharing the screen with Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and Mithun Chakraborty. ‘Baap’ is reportedly a Bollywood remake of the Hollywood film ‘The Expendables.’ The song being remade in the film is ‘Apsara Aali’ from the Marathi film ‘Natarang.’ Urvashi Rautela was recently seen in Sunny Deol’s film ‘Jatt,’ where she had a special song called ‘Sorry Bol.’

Why is this a potential challenge for Sunny Deol?

Sunny Deol and Urvashi Rautela have previously worked together. Urvashi played his wife in the film ‘Singh Saab The Great,’ which was a commercial failure. Her recent appearance in ‘Jatt’ didn’t perform well either. It remains to be seen how this new update for ‘Baap’ will unfold.

Aag: Ram Gopal Varma’s Audacious Remake of Sholay

News Analysis India — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Aag’ is a controversial reimagining of the classic film ‘Sholay’. The remake departs significantly from Ramesh Sippy’s original, offering a revisionist take on the beloved story. The film’s value lies not in replicating the source material but in its bold departures. Some sequences are presented as parodic homages to the original ‘Sholay’. The notorious ‘Kitne aadmi the’ scene is reinterpreted with a sense of dark humor. Varma treats the classic with an iconoclastic approach, subverting celebrated sequences to fit a gangster narrative. The film’s setting is a series of indistinct locations, lacking the geographical accuracy of the original. The slaughter of the police inspector’s family is designed for shock value rather than building suspense. Amitabh Bachchan’s performance as Babban, the villain, is notable for its nuanced portrayal. Key elements from ‘Sholay,’ such as the severed hand and the post-Holi attack, are adapted with a different aesthetic. The relationships between characters lack cohesion, particularly the absence of camaraderie between the new Jai and Veeru, now Raj and Hero. However, the film offers a glimpse of Bachchan’s performance. Varma attempts to give ‘Sholay’ a contemporary look, though the result is more bleak than bright. The remake overhauls and reimagines many iconic characters. The relationships of the original film are altered to fit the dark contemporary underworld milieu.

Now, there’s a significant update on the sequel to his 200-crore film, a project that garnered substantial worldwide success and was a box office hit. What are the makers’ plans for the sequel?
