Filmfare Awards 2023 Winners: Alia Bhatt Wins Best Actress for Gangubai Kathiawadi, More

One of Bollywood’s most prominent actors, Alia Bhatt is currently on top of her game. Be it off-screen or on-screen, she is ruling everywhere. And, true to her exploits and status in the film industry, Alia took home the Best Actor award at the Filmfare Awards with her performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi. While she won Best Actor in a Leading Role (Female) at the 68th edition of the prestigious awards ceremony on Thursday night, Gangubai Kathiawadi literally swept the awards show. It was also adjudged Best Film at this year’s awards show. The award for Best Director went to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who helmed the film.

Alia attended the special occasion in a black strapless gown. For the glam, she opted for minimal makeup and pulled her hair back. Gangubai Kathiawadi was released in theatres on February 25, 2022. It revolves around a maiden sold by a suitor into prostitution and how she becomes a prominent and celebrated figure in the underworld and Kamathipura red-light district.

The 68th Filmfare Awards 2023 was hosted by Salman Khan and Maniesh Paul. The award night was attended by Alia Bhatt, Rekha, Kajol, Ayushmann, Nora Fatehi, Janhvi Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and many others.

Speaking of the other winners besides Alia, Rajkummar Rao took home black lady for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male) for his role in Badhaai Do. His film also registered a win under the category of Best Film (Critics). It was also a special day for Rajkummar’s Badhaai Do co-star Bhumi Pednekar as she won the Best Actress (Critics) award. She shared the award with Tabu. Tabu won it for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

Directed by Harshvardhan Kulkarni, Badhaai Do is a sequel to the National Award-winning film Badhaai Ho, which starred Ayushmann Khurrana, Neena Gupta and Sanya Malhotra in the lead roles.

In the film, Bhumi played the role of Suman Singh, a 31-year-old physical education teacher, who is interested in women. She marries a cop named Shardul Thakur (Rajkummar) to escape the pressure of their families. The real twist in the story comes when Rajkummar’s character reveals that he is also a homosexual.

Director Ayan Mukerji, on Tuesday, announced the release dates of his upcoming fantasy films Brahmastra: Part 2 and Brahmastra: Part 3.

Taking to Instagram, Ayan shared a long note which he captioned, ‘The Next Phase’.

The note reads, “Hi 🙂 The Time has come — for some updates on the Brahmāstra Trilogy, the Astraverse, and my Life! After absorbing all the love and the feedback on Part One… I have been focused on creating the Vision for Part Two and Part Three — which I now know will be bigger and more ambitious than Part One! I have learnt that we need a little more time to perfect the script of Brahmāstra Two and Three! And…I have decided that we are going to make the two films…. Together! Allowing them to also release closer together! I have a timeline in place to achieve this, which I am sharing with you all today!”

Brahmāstra: Part Two – Dev will hit the theatres in December 2026, whereas Part Three will be released in the theatres exactly a year after the second part, in December 2027.

Ayan also revealed that he is set to direct another “special movie” apart from the Brahmāstra franchise.

The Wake Up Sid director will be helming the second instalment of Hrithik Roshan’s action thriller film War under the Yash Raj Productions banner.

He added, “I also have another piece of news to share…The Universe has presented me with a very special opportunity recently — a very special movie — to step into and direct! What the movie is… More on that when the time is right 🙂 An opportunity that challenges me and terribly excites me… one where I will learn, be inspired and where I will grow! So, I have decided to take it up!! Opening myself up to all the positive energies in this universe so I can do my best and contribute to that one thing that matters most to me — Indian Cinema! Love and Light, Ayan.”

Further details about the star cast of the adventure fantasy franchise are still awaited.

Helmed by Ayan and produced by Karan Johar, Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva was released last year. The film starred Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, and Mouni Roy in the lead roles and was declared a hit.

Ayan is known for his films like Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani.

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji is on board to direct the sequel to Hrithik Roshan starrer War, part of Yash Raj Films’ ambitious Spy Universe, say industry insiders.

Though there is no official announcement, the 39-year-old Brahmāstra director also hinted as much in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

“The Universe has presented me with a very special opportunity recently a very special movie to step into and direct! What the movie is… More on that when the time is right.

“An opportunity that challenges me and terribly excites me… one where I will learn, be inspired and where I will grow! So, I have decided to take it up,” Mukerji said. Conceptualised by YRF boss Aditya Chopra, the ‘YRF Spy Universe‘ brings three franchises headlined by leading stars — Salman Khan‘s Tiger movies, Shah Rukh Khan‘s Pathaan, and Roshan’s War — under one umbrella.

The studio’s recent blockbuster Pathaan marked the beginning with a cameo by Salman as Avinash Singh Rathore aka Tiger. It also had plenty of references to Roshan’s War character, Kabir Dhaliwal.

“Aditya Chopra is choosing the captain of the ship for each YRF Spy Universe film strategically. Ayan has delivered big hits which appeals to all audience segments and have the pulse of Indian audiences. He has shown that he knows how to mount a film with a huge scale, which is essential for someone to direct War 2,” said an industry insider.

“Plus, he is a young filmmaker who can bring a different kind of newness to the Spy Universe. Ayan will have his unique take on how to make an epic action spectacle with War 2. Aditya Chopra trusts him to take the franchise forward,” they added.

Besides War 2, Mukerji is also working on the two-part follow-up to his 2022 hit Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.

His earlier films include Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

Disney+ Hotstar November 2022: Brahmāstra, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Disenchanted, and More

Disney+ Hotstar has announced a list of 47 titles for release on its streaming platform in November 2022. Marvel Studios plans to ignite the Christmas spirit in us, in the form of a TV special, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, slated to drop November 25. The special is poised to conclude Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4, and finds our lovable intergalactic outlaws on planet Earth, as they kidnap Kevin Bacon. Meanwhile, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which concluded its run last month, gets a behind-the-scenes featurette — Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of She-Hulk, now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. The making-of special was initially set for an October release, but got delayed into this month.

On the local end, we’ve got Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva coming to the Disney streamer, just two months after its theatrical release. Starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, the film is the first of a planned trilogy, and explores various Hindu myths in a modern-day fantasy setting. Brahmāstra released November 4 on Disney+ Hotstar, with director Ayan Mukherji boasting subtle refinements for a better viewing experience on phones, televisions, and PCs. For now, this is the only “new” Indian release on Disney+ Hotstar this month, besides Aashiqana season 2, which continues its Monday to Sunday run.

Every New Movie and TV Series Coming to Netflix India in November

From Hulu, we’ve got a new Jesse Eisenberg-led drama series dropping this month. Fleishman Is in Trouble is a dark comedy, of sorts, exploring the life of the titular Dr. Toby Fleishman, who wakes up one morning to find his ex-wife of 15 years, disappearing without a trace. Entrusted with his two children, the finicky medical professional finds success in the world of dating apps, all the while figuring out what happened to his former better half. Fleishman Is in Trouble is expected to premiere November 18 on Disney+ Hotstar. Another Hulu series, Alaska Daily continues its weekly run, as award-winning journalist Eileen Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) seeks professional and personal redemption, by joining a small daily metro news team. New episodes drop weekly, starting November 4.

Disney also has some originals in store for us, starting with the docuseries Save Our Squad With David Beckham, streaming November 9. The English footballing legend returns to the East London pitches, aiming to coach an under-14 young grassroots side to victory. Then there’s Zootopia+ — set during the events of the 2016 movie, this six-episode anthology series explores intriguing characters namely Fru Fru, the newly married arctic shrew, Gazelle’s talented tiger dancers, Flash, the sloth full of surprises. Zootopia+ premieres November 9 on Disney+ Hotstar.

But that’s not all from the house of Disney, as the company plans to delve deeper into the history of its iconic character Mickey Mouse, this month. November 18 presents us with a Jeff Malmberg-directed documentary film, Mickey: The Story of a Mouse, which dabbles in the cultural significance of the titular character, via films and art, created by the uber-talented Walt Disney. On the same day, Disney+ Hotstar rewards us with the fourth and final seasonal special in The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse series. The setting this time is autumn, tasking the squeaky protagonist Mickey Mouse with undoing the failures of his family’s past, after inheriting a rundown pumpkin farm. Very Halloween-y!

That spookiness continues in the Amy Adams-led Disenchanted. Nearly 15 years after the original movie, Giselle Phillip, Disney’s live-action princess leaves behind her “happily ever after” past, and moves to a suburb, only to be met with the horrors of real-world problems. As temptation takes over, she wishes for a whimsical lifestyle, slowly reducing family members into feeble pawns that obey her command. Disenchanted will be available for streaming on November 18. It was originally scheduled for a November 24 release.

Chris Hemsworth — best known for playing Thor in the MCU — is pushing his physicality to the extreme via a series of trials and extraordinary challenges, in a six-episode series. Limitless with Chris Hemsworth streams November 16 on Disney+ Hotstar, and chronicles the actor’s journey as he learns methods to regenerate damage, maximise strength, and supercharge his memory.

Coming to ongoing series, we’ve got two second seasons from the house of HBO. The White Lotus season 2 now focuses on a new cast of offbeat characters, as they adjust to the serenity of Siciliy, Italy. New episodes drop every Monday, with episode 2 going live on November 7. Then there’s the Hugh Lauri-led sci-fi satire Avenue 5, which returns from a long pandemic-induced hiatus. New episodes drop every Tuesday, with episode 5 scheduled to release on November 8. From the Star Wars end, we’ve only got the Diego Luna-led Andor, which ends its 12-episode run on November 23.

That leaves us with one new South Korean show, a Disney+ distributed teen revenge thriller, Revenge of Others. The 12-episode series is out November 9, and will follow a weekly schedule. Meanwhile, the experimental reality show, Pink Lie, resumes its run on November 2.

Ranbir-Alia Wedding: Actor’s neighbours file a complaint against media for ‘virtually attacking cars’

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are finally husband and wife now. After being in a relationship for 5 years, the couple tied the knot on April 14th at the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actor’s Vastu residence in Bandra, Mumbai, in presence of their close friends and family members. Now, amid the lovebirds’ wedding chaos, Ranbir’s neighbours sent a complaint to the Pali Hill Residents’ Association (PHRA) last evening. The complaint was reportedly filed against the media for gathering outside the Barfi actor’s residence and creating a commotion.

According to ETimes, a few media personnel have even tripped over speed breakers and almost injured themselves trying to click the celebrities. A resident stated that ‘they were virtually attacking cars’. PHRA Secretary Madhu Poplai confirmed the complaint and said, “I had no option but to call a senior inspector. After he arrived, we had a meeting in the lobby of Ranbir‘s building Vastu. A member of the organiser group that has made the arrangements of the shaadi, who was incidentally in Vastu at that instant, was called to join the meeting.”

He also said that it has been risky to drive through the area for the past 3/4 days. “Nearly 200 media people are standing at different points on the road and they swoop from nowhere at any given instant. This is nothing but violation of safety norms.”

Meanwhile, Ranbir and Alia’s wedding was attended by many celebrities including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ayan Mukerji, Akash Ambani, Shloka Ambani, Saif Ali Khan, Aadar Jain, Navya Naveli, Karan Johar, and many others.
