 Malang starring <keyword id="6354700" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anil-Kapoor">Anil Kapoor</keyword>, Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani is a story of Advait and Sara who falls in love with each other in Goa. Things change when Advait turns into a serial killer and is running from the law. Taran Adarsh called the film “disappointing” and gave it 2 stars. “Mohit Suri misses the bus this time... #Malang works in patches, but its writing plays spoilsport, and fails to grab your attention in entirety... Suspense doesn't create the desired impact either,” Adarsh said. Whereas another film critic Sumit Kadel said Malang is a torment watch. “Film has got no thrills, has a dead slow predictable screenplay, shoddy script and mediocre performance by the star cast. Mohit Suri Direction is deplorable. Audience ko Paka dena inka maza aur nasha hai, Watch at your own Risk,” Kadel said. The first day collection has made Malang Aditya Kapoor’s highest opening film ever. His first solo film <keyword id="780293" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aashiqui-2">Aashiqui 2</keyword> with Shraddha Kapoor earned ₹6.25 crore on the release day. Whereas, OK Jannu earned ₹4.08 crore. Malang faces competition from the Hollywood biggie, Birds Of Prey released this week.

Added to that, both war dramas - 1917 and <keyword id="6354714" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="ajay-devgn">Ajay Devgn</keyword>’s Tanhaji are still going strong at the box office.

 Going by the top charts published by <keyword id="1983045" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Google-Zeitgeist-2013">Google Zeitgeist 2013</keyword>, <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword>, <keyword id="11111" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="celebs">celebs</keyword> and <keyword id="1521" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Cricket">cricket</keyword> top the search lists here in India – whether you like it or no. And speaking about Bollywood, <keyword id="1671" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-Khan">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword> still rules all hearts and search queries. Chennai Express, a romantic action-comedy starring <keyword id="1379" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="king-khan">King Khan</keyword> and the sultry <keyword id="598" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Deepika-Padukone">Deepika Padukone</keyword>, tops the Zeitgeist ‘<keyword id="1983047" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Top-trending">top trending</keyword>’ list (<keyword id="1983050" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Search-topics">search topics</keyword> with the <keyword id="1983055" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Biggest-increase-in-search-volume">biggest increase in search volume</keyword> since the previous period) this year. But then, the movie went on to become the highest grossing Bollywood film worldwide, surpassing <keyword id="6373971" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="40" keywordseo="3-idiots">3 Idiots</keyword>, and we are not really surprised.

Hold your breath – you have <keyword id="6354701" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman">Salman</keyword> and Katrina there. SRK is second in that list and so is Deepika.

Despite the hue and cry over alleged corruption practices, the <keyword id="6354312" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="IPL">IPL</keyword> has broken records in terms of online searches for latest scores and results. 
 And that brings us back to the Little Master, often compared with the legendary <keyword id="73093" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Don-Bradman">Don Bradman</keyword>.

Top 10 highest-paid actresses in India in 2024

Superstar playback singer <keyword id="1410178" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="arijit-singh" source="Orion">Arijit Singh</keyword> is the most listened to artiste on streaming medium in India. As the year end approaches, the music streaming platform Spotify has released its year-ender in the form of Spotify Wrapped. Arijit has delivered great work one after the other, has been ruling the hearts of the audience since his breakout success 'Aashiqui 2', which released a decade ago. Arijit was followed by his mentor and guru, music composer <keyword id="12352996" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="pritam" source="Orion">Pritam</keyword> on second spot. Arijit worked as Pritam's assistant and sang scratches for him before he was encouraged by the composer to fly on his own. Anirudh Ravichander, who has been on a roll composing music of 'Jailer', 'Jawan' and 'Leo', grabbed the third spot followed by the Oscar and Grammy-winning composer A.R. Rahman. In terms of genre, Bollywood music is the most streamed genre on Spotify in India followed by <keyword id="437163" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="punjabi-pop" source="Orion">Punjabi Pop</keyword> and <keyword id="19664975" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="tamil-pop" source="Orion">Tamil Pop</keyword>.

The year of 2022 could be a watershed year for <keyword id="143" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bollywood" source="Orion">Bollywood</keyword>. For the very first time, a lead character in the movie is transgender in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui starring Ayushmann Khurana and Vaani Kapoor. Called a conversation starter on transgenders, the movie was lauded by many. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> Then there was a formulaic Badhai Do starring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar - which is a lesbian and a gay man married to each other, due to family pressure. Increasing roles but not being cast While Bollywood might seem to be taking one step forward, it has brought out many issues – be it roles for the community and of course, casting transgenders for the roles. The apathy towards LGBTQ+ community is also affecting artists who intend to find their place in the showbiz which has been expanding thanks to the number of web series and more under production. Yet, it’s falling short of people to accommodate them. Transgender actor Sushant Divgikar criticises the casting of cisgender actors as transgender characters in Bollywood. This comes as Bollywood is making several movies on gender diversity but tends to cast popular actors instead of the ‘right’ fit. “If a transgender person is not allowed to play a transgender character on screen in a film, they are not allowed to play a man in a film and transgender people are not allowed to play women in a film so what do transgender artists play? transgender trees in the back?” asks Divgikar on his Instagram. Divgikar is quite vocal about challenges faced by <keyword id="1218847" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lgbtq-community" source="Orion">LGBTQ community</keyword> in society and Bollywood. Sharing another such experience on gender disparity on Youtube, Divgikar revealed that they were auditioning for a toothpaste ad when the casting director told them even before they entered the room, “You are too gay for this advertisement.” Yet, not all is lost. A few actors from the community have found their standing. Jim Sarbh, a popular actor who played a key role in the superhit movie Padmavaat, also plays a role in Made in India. In the popular Amazon Prime Video series, he plays a straight character. “It was really difficult playing a heterosexual male so that was a first big challenge that I had to overcome, what cultural significance would be here and whether people will accept it,” <a href="https://www.facebook.com/YesWeExistIndia/videos/1246256258883966/">he said sarcastically in an interview </a>as he believes there is still socia stigma around the community. While the number of shows and movies portraying queer connection are increasing – large numbers are played by A-list actors like Sonam Kapoor, Fawad Khan, Ayushmann Khurana, Manoj Bajpai and more. ‘It was the most challenging film because I have never done such a character before’, <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/aligarh-was-most-challenging-film-for-me-manoj-bajpayee/">said Manoj about playing a gay character </a>that was named Siras in Aligarh. India has a long way to go in terms of gender issues and is still struggling to get many aspects like casting and treatment of women. Case in point is the controversy created by Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh which was criticized for toxic masculinity. Thappad was touted to be a response to Kabir Singh. “Everyone should do one thing they feel will take us towards gender equality – and getting rid of stereotypes and conditioning will surely be a step in that direction,” said Tapsee Pannu who played the protagonist in the movie.

Media and paparazzi love covering <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> celebrities, but off lately, they have been boycotting celebs who display bad behaviour or pricey attitude. Let’s take a look at stars who have been boycotted by the press. 
 
<keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword> 
During the promotional event of his last release Kick that Salman Khan’s bodyguards had a spat with photographers and the actor showed no sympathy. To make matters worse, he passed an apparently rude statement, “Those who want to cover the event are welcome to stay, the rest can leave if they wish." Naturally, this didn’t go down well with media, which decided to boycott the star till the release of the film. 
 
<keyword id="89958" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shraddha-Kapoor">Shraddha Kapoor</keyword> 
According to reports, Aashiqui 2 actress allegedly made a group of photographers wait for two long hours and then finally refused to pose for photographs. This was after her last release Ek Villain became a hit. Though her father Shakti Kapoor came to her rescue but the media had already decided to ban her. The boycott continued till Shraddha personally met with the union of photographers and sorted the matter before the promotions of her upcoming movie, Haider began. 
 
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan 
The royal couple faced the ire of media way back in 2010, when they reached at a promotional event quite late. Though Saif came up with an apology citing traffic as the reason for being late, but the journalists and photographers chose to walk away from the event without covering it. 
 
<keyword id="6357912" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="amitabh-bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</keyword> 
Even the mega star Amitabh Bachchan wasn’t spared by the press. He faced media ban at a time which was the high point of Amitabh Bachchan’s career; this was when he was churning out hits after hits like Sharabi, Lawaaris and Deewar to name a few. The fact was recently revealed by Big B on his blog, in which he wrote that the ban came because the press apparently believed some sources, who claimed that Bachchan had supported the idea of Emergency and ban on press. During that period, media stringently decided to not cover AB in interviews, pictures and or news.

5 Bollywood Stars Who Share A Love-Hate Relationship With Press

<keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> actresses are having a gala time. Never ever in the history of <keyword id="4636" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Cinema">Indian cinema</keyword>, Indian actresses enjoyed power like they enjoy today. Women-oriented films are on the rise, and audiences accepting them whole-heartedly. Recent success of Queen testifies the fact. But who would be the queen of Bollywood in 2014—and get the coveted ‘Heroine No. 1’ title? Let’s take a look. 
	 
	 

	1. <keyword id="6354526" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Alia-Bhatt">Alia Bhatt</keyword> With three back to back hits in a year, Alia is on a roll. Her first release of the year was Imtiaz Ali’s Highway, which brought pride and appreciation her way. After this coming-of-age story, we saw Alia in 2 States next, where she enacted the role of a Tamilian to perfection. Alia’s third movie was Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya, where she was at the top of her act. 

	2. Kangana Ranaut

	Queen proved to be a game changer for Kangana Ranaut. This unconventional movie not only won her accolades for her powerful acting, but also changed contemporaries’ perception about her. 
 

	3. <keyword id="89958" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shraddha-Kapoor">Shraddha Kapoor</keyword> The Aashiqui 2 girl too had a great run at the Box Office this year. Her film, Ek Villain was a hit and she won appreciations from all corners for her brilliant performance. She will soon be seen enacting the role of a journalist in director Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider, based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. 
	 

	4. Vidya Balan

	Vidya appeared twice on screen this year. While her first movie, Shaadi Ke Side Effect failed to impress audience, Vidya managed to make up for the loss with Bobby Jaasoos. The story of an aspiring girl detective struck a chord with the audience and set cash registers ringing at the Box Office. 
	 

	5. Rani Mukherjee

	It won’t be wrong to call Rani Mukherjee’s Mardaani as the movie of the year. After a dud called Aiyya, Rani bounced back with this movie. She excelled in the role of Shivani, a crime branch inspector, and won accolades and adulation from all corners. Not just that, the film was declared tax free in some parts of the country. A Hero-ific act indeed!
 

	6. Priyanka Chopra

	Seems Priyanka Chopra will earn many awards and honours with Mary Kom, a film based on the life of Olympic legend. Critics and junta are going gaga about Priyanka’s performance that packs a punch and lots of power. A well-deserving name for the coveted number one title?
 

	7. Deepika Padukone

	Last year, she was the queen of Bollywood and delivered four back to back mega hits. However, this year Deepika seems to be in a relaxing mood and has only two movies in her kitty. First up is Homi Adjania’s Finding Fanny, where she is playing a Goan girl and next is Farah Khan’s multi-starrer Happy New Year. Will Deepika be able to replicate her last year’s success this year as well? Only time will tell.
 

	8. Parineeti Chopra

	After Hasee Toh Phasee, Parineeti will soon be seen playing a Hyderabadi girl in Daawat-E-Ishq. News is rife that Parineeti took formal training from actress Elaahe Hiptoola to get the deccani accent right. Hope her hard work pays off!
 

	9. Katrina Kaif

	After last year’s Dhoom 3, Katrina will be seen in Bang Bang next. In this much-awaited movie, the sexy lass would be seen romancing Hrithik Roshan and performing some kickass action. Will this bring Katrina back in the ‘number one’ game?
