But true to the <keyword id="1282628" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood-tradition">Bollywood tradition</keyword>, the madcap entertainer <keyword id="57035" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="MTH">MTH</keyword>, starring David’s son <keyword id="4928" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Varun">Varun</keyword> and the sizzling female leads <keyword id="88540" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ileana-DCruz">Ileana D’Cruz</keyword> and <keyword id="611054" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Nargis-Fakri">Nargis Fakri</keyword>, has topped the <keyword id="1812427" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office-chart">box office chart</keyword> this time. 
 
Main Tera Hero had an average start though, netting just Rs 6.6 crore at home on the opening Friday and recording 35-40% occupancy rate. But in spite of the cricket fever built around the India-Sri Lanka T20 World Cup final on Sunday, business picked up exceedingly well for the wild and whacky comedy flick and it netted a little over Rs 22 crore during the first weekend, as per industry estimates. It did moderately well on the crucial Day 4 (Monday, April 7) and collections at <keyword id="827271" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Domestic-Box-Office">domestic box office</keyword> amounted to nearly Rs 4 crore, as per industry estimates. Although MTH is a <keyword id="87291" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="big-budget-movie">big budget movie</keyword> and cost around Rs 40 crore, the money would be recovered soon, going by <keyword id="112481" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="ticket-sales">ticket sales</keyword>. The movie is produced by Shobha Kapoor and <keyword id="6354597" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Ekta-Kapoor">Ekta Kapoor</keyword> for Balaji Motion Pictures. 
 
MTH is <keyword id="383666" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Varun-Dhawan">Varun Dhawan</keyword>’s second appearance in Bollywood – after <keyword id="2188068" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Karan-Johar-directed">Karan Johar-directed</keyword> commercial success <keyword id="549195" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Student-of-the-Year">Student of the Year</keyword>, which also starred <keyword id="1320874" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sidharth-Malhotra">Sidharth Malhotra</keyword> and <keyword id="6354526" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Alia-Bhatt">Alia Bhatt</keyword>. The movie raked in Rs 28-29 crore nett in the first weekend, considerably higher than what Main Tera Hero did in spite of some extensive <keyword id="2188097" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Pre-release-hype">pre-release hype</keyword>. 
 Before we tell you what worked and didn’t work for this <keyword id="2188113" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="David-Dhawan-comedy">David Dhawan comedy</keyword>, let’s take a look at the <keyword id="2188098" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Box-office-performances">box office performances</keyword> of the other two releases. Purab Kohli-Tannishtha Chatterjee-Kirti Kulhari starrer Jal has a pertinent theme – it portrays the wild and water-starved <keyword id="80682" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rann-of-Kutch">Rann of Kutch</keyword> and its people locked in an eternal battle with their hostile surroundings. The movie has been criticised by many as a ‘festival’ flick while others vouch it is as commercial as can be. But either way, it has cut no ice with the domestic audience and reportedly grossed less than Rs 3 crore at home after the first weekend while fourth day collections stood at Rs 40-50 lakh. <keyword id="357845" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dar-Motion-Pictures">DAR Motion Pictures</keyword>, in collaboration with <keyword id="2188071" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="One-World-Films">One World Films</keyword>, released the movie across 385 screens, which means it is targeting a <keyword id="2188107" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Niche-audience">niche audience</keyword>. 
 
Ebn-E-Batuta, the third release of the week, also bombed the <keyword id="25892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office">box office</keyword>. The movie grossed some Rs 40-50 lakh on the first day, but the opening weekend numbers are yet to come in. Directed by <keyword id="2188109" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Varun-Middha">Varun Middha</keyword>, this one had an estimated budget of Rs 5 crore, but may follow the same fate as Jal. 
 
Coming back to Main Tera Hero, it is not difficult to understand what makes this movie so popular. This one provides a laughter riot – a mad concoction of romance, action and <keyword id="3769" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="David-Dhawan">David Dhawan</keyword>’s brand of none-too-subtle comedy. But the best thing to happen to us is the star son Varun Dhawan, lauded by most critics as the <keyword id="2188114" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Young-Govinda">Young Govinda</keyword>. It is a remake of the Telugu blockbuster <keyword id="471189" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kandireega">Kandireega</keyword> – telling the story of <keyword id="2180043" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sreenath-Prasad">Sreenath Prasad</keyword> or <keyword id="761791" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Seenu">Seenu</keyword> (Varun Dhawan). The problem kid comes to the big city to put his life in order, carries out his romantic escapades with two babes, <keyword id="2647" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sunaina">Sunaina</keyword> (Ileana D’Cruz) and <keyword id="173" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ayesha">Ayesha</keyword> (<keyword id="37518" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Nargis-Fakhri">Nargis Fakhri</keyword>), gets into fisticuffs with Sunaina’s cop beau <keyword id="11572" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Angad">Angad</keyword> (<keyword id="34751" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arunoday-Singh">Arunoday Singh</keyword>) and gets entangled with Ayesha’s mafia dad <keyword id="19147" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="vikrant">Vikrant</keyword> (<keyword id="6533" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Anupam-Kher">Anupam Kher</keyword>) and his gang. What follows is pure mayhem, but all things are sorted out well in the traditional Bollywood style and true lovers unite at the journey’s end. Quite a hilarious flick if you are ready to put logic away for some time and go with the Bollywood flow. 
 
 
 
In stark contrast, Jal portrays a reality as harsh as the arid land of Kutch. Here we have <keyword id="2188122" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bakka">Bakka</keyword> (<keyword id="26929" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="purab-kohli">Purab Kohli</keyword>), who has the power of divining water spots (does it remind you of <keyword id="6361516" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Nana-Patekar">Nana Patekar</keyword> in Thodasa Roomani Ho Jaayen?), his sweetheart <keyword id="32289" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="kesar">Kesar</keyword> (<keyword id="2349" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="kirti">Kirti</keyword>) hailing from a rival village and <keyword id="719919" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="animal-activist">animal activist</keyword> <keyword id="1158" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kim">Kim</keyword> (Saidah Jules). Kim is out to save the <keyword id="2188125" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Water-starved-flamingos">water-starved flamingos</keyword>, but not too interested to help the clan living there. Set against a stark yet magnificent backdrop, Jal had all the elements to become an epic tale of love and treachery, hope and hopelessness, apathy and ardour. Instead, viewers are handed out a simplistic story that fails to follow the stream of life (in other words, water) from the past into the future, the way it goes with human history. But the movie is worth the watch because of its <keyword id="2188126" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Offbeat-theme">offbeat theme</keyword> while Purab Kohli literally sets the screen on fire. 
 
Ebn-E-Batuta may remind you of <keyword id="47027" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="James-Cameron">James Cameron</keyword>’s <keyword id="44111" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Avatar">Avatar</keyword>, but there the similarities end.

How far can you go with YouTube — A Delhi college boy reached Davos in 5 years

Mumbai, May 9 () Actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani forbodes that in the post-coronavirus film industry, it might take more time for movies to be greenlit.Talking both from the perspective of a producer and actor, Jackky said there will be some changes that will happen once the countrywide lockdown is lifted."As an actor, I see that there will be a lesser number of projects that will go on the floors. Most investors and producers will take their time to green-light projects."As a producer, there might be some pragmatic decisions to be taken on which projects to do first and how to minimise costs without affecting the scale or demands of the script," he told .Jackky's production banner, Pooja Entertatinment's two films -- Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan-starrer "Coolie No 1" and Akshay Kumar's "Bell Bottom" -- were affected by the coronavirus pandemic.When asked about the plans for "Coolie No 1", which was expected to release countrywide on May 1, Jackky said, "I think it's insensitive to think of a release date right now. Let us overcome this crisis and we will announce it in happier times. No decision taken as of now."The film, directed by David Dhawan, is a remake of the 1995 film of the same name.Akshay's "Bell-Bottom" is an espionage thriller, to be directed by Ranjit M Tewari. The film was scheduled to go on floors by mid this year with a release date in January 2021."We already have a plan. But we will have to wait for the lockdown to be completely over and for the government to give a go ahead to be in a position to give more details," Jackky said.He added that just like every other sector of the economy, the film industry also finds itself on pause."It is difficult to gauge the impact in numbers right now. But it has definitely hit release dates, film shoots and future planning for every member of the industry," the actor-producer said.Jackky further said that as a producer, he will be undertaking precautionary measures on the sets of his upcoming projects."The first key words are safety and precaution. The one important lesson from this pandemic is human life and health are top priority. All the upcoming shoots will have the highest and stringent measures of sanitisation and hygiene as per the government guidelines," he said."We are also mulling closed sets and studios for shooting so as to minimise touch points and allow only a certain number of people on set," he added.

After rubbing shoulders with CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month, the comedian has now made it to Forbes India’s 30 under 30 list. The 26 year old is one of the two YouTubers along with Technical Guruji Gaurav Chaudhary who made their debut on the list this year. “YouTuber Bhuvan Bam graduated from ‘Watch Out For’ to debut in the digital content creators category,” Forbes India said in <a href="http://www.forbesindia.com/article/30-under-30-2020/forbes-india-30-under-30-a-cut-above-the-rest/57513/1">its press release</a>. For Bam, the journey started in 2015 when he realized that very few people were making YouTube videos in Hindi, and started his channel “BB Ki Vines”. Back then, India had few homegrown comedians. The Viral Fever and All India Bakchod were creating content, but in English. “I thought I should bring some kind of humour. I’ve grown up watching Kader Khan, Johnny Lever, Govinda kind of movies, David Dhawan movies, ’90s and early 2000s movies. And that was a good change for people.

He is now as famous as any other Bollywood celebrity in India — and celebrities like Karan Johar are in awe of him as well. He also went where no one expected this expletive spewing YouTuber will go --- to the World Economic Forum to tell the story of how he captured the pulse of young Indians. Jokes that no one would laugh at In 2015, Bhuvan was yet another college boy who used to sing at a restaurant for ₹3,000 a night. The natural performer also believed he could tell funny stories though nobody in his family would laugh at them. One day, he decided to post a 15 second video — that mocked the media for their insensitive question in Kashmir floods — on his Facebook page. “A reporter was asking this lady ‘How do you feel, (now) that you’ve lost your son?’ It was a silly question. I couldn’t control myself. I had to make a satire of it,” says Bam. He decided to post some more. Fans from Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh Success did not come instantly. The first few videos received a mere 15 views. Gradually, that 15 turned to 300 and he shot to fame in his college and others. To his surprise, he built a fanbase in Karachi University. But India was still unaware of him. “India took a lot of time to warm up to my videos!” He moved from Facebook to Youtube after a friend suggested monetising what he was doing. The Karan Johar of Youtube Bam managed to get the attention of people after his video “Valentine’s Week Hutiyapa” went viral in 2016. He even got a million subscribers to his Youtube channel in 7 months. Since then, Bam experimented a lot - right from dancing to singing. He also co-produced a movie Plus minus. Soon, he became an influencer and endorsed as many as 30 brands until April 2019. He is now the face of Lenskart. His success lies in his no-cost production strategy. He created 16 characters and acted for all of them. He shoots his videos himself, edits and posts them himself. “I don’t spend a single penny on them. I take 15 to 16 days to come up with a video and do one or two videos a month. That’s a long time. People who have big production houses need to hire people, pay vendors etc,” <a href="https://qz.com/india/1456007/the-making-of-bhuvan-bam-indias-biggest-youtube-star/">he told Quartz. </a> At first Bam wanted to be a part of Bollywood but he now believes Youtube is bigger. “I want to be the Dharma productions of YouTube.

To be the nation’s heartthrob and one of the most successful actors of <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword>, you either need to have a father or a Godfather; and <keyword id="383666" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Varun-Dhawan">Varun Dhawan</keyword> seems to have both. 
 
Other than that, he can also count good looks, a great physique, and some amazing dancing skills as his blessings, which is why he is the talk of the town today. 
 
Taking the nation by storm ever since his first movie Student Of The Year that released in the year 2010, Varun has established himself as one of the most promising actors in Bollywood, especially after his last release Badlapur in which he shed his chocolate-boy image and portrayed a 40-something man who wants nothing but revenge for his family. 
 
Even though Varun is the son of famous director David Dhawan who has given several hits to the Indian masses, Varun chose not to debut under his father, which is something unconventional. 
 Similarly, filmmaker <keyword id="3778" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Karan-Johar">Karan Johar</keyword>, who until SOTY, had never directed newcomers in his successful career spanning more than a decade, chose to do something unconventional and launch not one but a whole bunch of new talent in the industry with this movie. 
 
Out of this bunch, one was Varun Dhawan, who nailed the role of the unhappily rich Rohan Nanda, fighting with his own family to achieve his dream of being a musician. 
 
Ever since SOTY, the relationship between Karan and Varun has been that of a mentor-protégé one, and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, their second collaboration in two years proved the same. 
 
Three days back, Karan had declared that Varun would also be the lead in the much-awaited <keyword id="1581560" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shuddhi">Shuddhi</keyword>. Even though Varun tweeted a thank you to actor Salman Khan who congratulated him for bagging the role, he was yet to publicly thank Karan for this role. 
 
Well, looks like he was waiting for the perfect time to thank Karan for being his mentor, and what day could have been better than Karan’s birthday? 
 
Karan Johar, who turns 43 today, got a song dedicated to him straight from the music album of Varun’s upcoming movie ABCD2, and the song is aptly titled Happy Birthday. 
 
Have a look at the song here: 
 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
	
		<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HappyBirthdayKaranJohar?src=hash">#HappyBirthdayKaranJohar</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/karanjohar">@karanjohar</a> hope you have the most amazing year big hug. Wanna dedicate this song to U <a href="http://t.co/HYJEbmiyvs">http://t.co/HYJEbmiyvs</a>
	— Varun SURESH Dhawan (@Varun_dvn) <a href="https://twitter.com/Varun_dvn/status/602692671929356288">May 25, 2015</a> 
	 </blockquote>
Varun, who already is known for his dancing skills, has tried something new by rapping a few lines for the song, and we must say that just like Alia Bhatt, his co-star in SOTY, he too has an innate sense of music. 
 
On Varun’s birthday last month, Karan had shared the following image, perfectly describing the lovely bond that they share. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
	
		Happy birthday <a href="https://twitter.com/Varun_dvn">@Varun_dvn</a> !! Evolve,search and aspire.... Make the year count!!! All my love...always!! <a href="http://t.co/9tSSgtWWaH">pic.twitter.com/9tSSgtWWaH</a>
	— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) <a href="https://twitter.com/karanjohar/status/591474438035492864">April 24, 2015</a></blockquote>
