'Brahmastra Part One: Shiva' Opening Day Box Office Prediction

Mumbai, September 8 - The game is about to begin and the moment industry has been waiting for for a long time is finally around the corner as arguably the biggest Bollywood film of all time, Brahmastra Part One: Shiva is releasing tomorrow in theaters worldwide. ## With so much at stake, the makers of this fantasy adventure have left no stone unturned to promote the film and make it reach each and every person in the country which seems to be paying off. The entire industry was having some nervy moments earlier, which might have settled down a bit looking at the excellent response in the advance sales, which is the biggest for a Bollywood movie post-pandemic. ## There were many doubts regarding the opening of the film at the box office as it has been the latest Bollywood movie being targeted by the boycott gang. However, it seems the boycott calls for the movie has gone for the toss as it is eying the biggest opening post-pandemic. ## Looking at the advance booking trend, "Brahmastra" is set for a minimum of 30 crores start and this number, in all probability, could go further if the talks are positive. Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi scored 26.29 crores on the first day, which is the highest so far for Bollywood films since the resumption of cinemas post-pandemic. ## Brahmastra is on the line and bracing for the final kill to surpass Sooryavanshi's opening day figures to become the biggest Bollywood opener since Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's War in 2019. ## The advance booking of Brahmastra is strong throughout the first weekend, and this ensures an excellent opening weekend for the movie at the box office. If the talks are positive, then Brahmastra could become one of the biggest Indian grosser of the year. It will release over 8000 screens worldwide, including 3000 screens in the international markets, to be released by Disney. ## Produced by Dharma Productions, Starlight Pictures, and Prime Focus in association with Star Studios, the movie stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna Akkineni in prominent roles. It is scheduled to release on September 9 in Hindi along with dubbed versions of Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages on 2D, 3D, and IMAX screens.## Stay tuned...

Rakesh Roshan Reveals Hrithik Roshan's 'Krrish 4' Will Have The Elements of Cinematic Universe

Mumbai, September 7 - Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is carefully working on the script of Hrithik Roshan-fronted Krrish 4 as he is aware of what the audiences are looking for nowadays from superhero films. Krrish 4 was announced a long time back but could never get finalized due to the covid-19 pandemic. ## During a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rakesh Roshan revealed that he has almost done the script and is waiting for the right time to take it on floors. "My scripting is almost done. It's a big-budget film. The challenge for me is that in today's day and age, people are aware of and watch superhero films from all over the world. These superhero films are made on very big budgets. And we don't have such big budgets". ## The filmmaker further said that to make a superhero film in India, it is very important for the content of the movie to be strong and with newer ideas to come at par with the big-budget superhero movies.## "Our films are released in India and certain overseas territories with a huge South Asian diaspora and hence our box office potential is limited as compared to Hollywood. So, I am just waiting for the right time when the audiences would start flocking to the cinemas once again in big numbers", he added. ## Meanwhile, Rakesh Roshan hinted that there may be multiple superheroes in "Krrish 4" just like the Marvel movie and upcoming Bollywood biggie, "Brahmastra Part One: Shiva", which intends to introduce several superheroes and films will be made about them. When asked if the audience can expect a Krrish Cinematic Universe at some point? To which, Rakesh Roshan replied, "Yes, why not? Krrish 4 actually has those elements". ## Hrithik is currently gearing up for the release of "Vikram Vedha", due on September 30. He will next start shooting for director Siddharth Anand's ariel action thriller "Fighter", which will release in September 2023. After completing "Fighter", the actor will jump on "Krrish 4". ## Stay tuned...

Ireland Slaps A Whopping $402 Million Fine On Social Media Site Instagram For Violating Child Privacy Policies

Dublin, September 6 - The social media platform, Instagram has been slapped with a whopping $402 million fine by Ireland's data privacy regulator, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The photo-sharing and content-creating site has been found violating laws regulating the handling of children's data online. ## Instagram has said it will appeal the fine.## According to THR, the Irish government's investigation, which began in 2020, found that Instagram allowed child users aged between 13 and 17 to operate business accounts on Instagram, which facilitated the publication of the users' phone numbers and/or email addresses. That, ruled Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner, was a violation of the country's laws protecting child data online.## A spokesperson for Meta said that Instagram updated its settings over a year ago to address the problem and has since released new features "to keep teens safe and their information private". Instagram disagrees with how the fine was calculated and is carefully reviewing the decision.## The full details of the decision will be published next week. ## Stay tuned...
