Mumbai, May 8 - Netflix may have to wait a bit longer to score a breakout global success from India as its ambitious period drama series Heeramandi - The Diamond Bazaar, created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, failed to make an impact in its opening weekend. ## Made on a budget of over 200 crores, Heeramandi was supposed to be the next big thing for Netflix but it could only manage to score 4.5 million worldwide views and 33 million viewing hours over the 5-day opening weekend. It is among the poorest viewership for Netflix India for the original shows. ## Though the series debuted at number 2 worldwide in the non-English category on Netflix, the critical and audience reception is below average for the show which might make it difficult for it to rebound in the coming weeks.## Despite Netflix's continued efforts to woo Indian audiences, there is not a single show or movie in the streamer's top 10 list, and now Heeramandi is also falling flat. It is already being termed as a big-budget disaster for the OTT giant. ## The series is about the lives of tawaifs in the red-light district of Heera Mandi in Lahore during the Indian independence movement against the British Raj. It stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal Mehta, and Taha Shah Badussha, with Farida Jalal, Shekhar Suman, Fardeen Khan, Shruti Sharma and Adhyayan Suman in recurring roles. ## Stay tuned...

The actor was responding to an X user who wished to see more of Shiva Mannar (one of the characters played by Prithviraj in the film). ## "Of all the stories Prashanth has told me, Shiv Mannar's is probably the coolest. Has an unbelievable crossover with another universe as well", Sukumaran wrote. The news has taken the internet by storm and it will surely create more buzz as the word spreads. ## Of all the stories Prashanth has told me..Shiv Mannar’s is probably the coolest.

Before the release of the first part, there were many fan theories that the movie would have a crossover with Yash-fronted KGF films, also directed by Neel. However, neither the makers talked about it nor did the movie feature such a crossover. ## However, with Prithviraj Sukumaran confirming a crossover with another universe in the second part, it will surely bring those theories back into the game which is going to be exciting.

Los Angeles, May 7 - Disney is set to reduce the number of Marvel movies to two and shows to three per year to avoid the overdose of entertainment. Disney CEO Bob Iger said (via Variety) that the studio is going to reduce MCU output per year to focus on quality. ## "We're slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two, or a maximum of three. And we're working hard on what that path is", the Disney CEO said during the company's quarterly earnings call Tuesday.## Iger said that the studio is extremely excited about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, be it movies or shows. After having a poor last year with a couple of big flops (a rarity for Marvel) in the form of Ant-Man 3 and The Marvels, the studio is gearing up for the exciting next few years. ## As of now, Marvel Studios has 4 films slated for 2025 release - "Captain America: Brave New World", "Thunderbolts", "The Fantastic Four", and "Blade", and four more Marvel movies slated for 2026, including the fifth "Avengers” movie. ## In 2024, Marvel is releasing just "Deadpool and Wolverine", which is probably the most hyped MCU title in recent times. The movie is scheduled to hit screens in July. ## Stay tuned...

Kochi, May 7 - At a time when the Malayalam film industry is flourishing at the box office and is in the best shape for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, the filmmakers are still not able to do full justice to the theatrical business by keeping short window between theatrical and OTT release, including the box office blockbusters.## Fahadh Faasil's action comedy Aavesham has grossed close to 150 crores worldwide. While the movie is still going strong at the box office the makers have already locked a May 9 date for its streaming debut, just 28 days after the theatrical release. ## The movie will be streaming via Amazon Prime Video while it is still showing no sign of slowing down at the box office. The early digital release may cut short Aavesham's full box office potential, leaving another few crores on the table. ## Aavesham is the 4th highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time at the worldwide box office after Manjummel Boys, 2018, and Aadujeevitham. It is expected to finish as the third-biggest Malayalam grosser by beating Aadujeevitham (157 crores). ## Stay tuned...
