Chennai High Court Issues Strict Orders in Ravi Mohan Divorce Case

In a momentous decision, the Chennai High Court has ordered actor Ravi Mohan and his estranged wife, Aarti Ravi, to desist from making public statements or releasing official press releases about their ongoing divorce proceedings. The court underscored that any issues between the two parties must be handled inside the legal framework, rather than in the public realm.

This order comes amid a highly publicized separation that has drawn considerable media attention. Aarti Ravi has requested a monthly alimony of ₹40 lakhs from Ravi Mohan during their highly publicized separation. The family court has ordered the actor to respond to this financial demand by June 12.

The directive aims to prevent further escalation of tensions and avoid public speculation or misinformation. By moving the discussions entirely into the courtroom, the judiciary seeks to maintain the dignity of the individuals involved and uphold the integrity of the legal process.

This development marks an important moment in the high-profile case, indicating the court’s desire to guarantee that all problems are handled with discretion and within the confines of the law, rather than through media channels.

Bhool Chuk Maaf Review — A clever idea results in a tiring comedy with some hilarious parts 

0

Movie Name: Bhool Chuk Maaf
Rating: 2.5/5
Cast:
 Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sanjay Mishra, Raghubir Yadav and others
Director: Karan Sharma
Produced By: 
Maddock Films, Amazon MGM Studios
Release Date: 23rd May 2025

Bhool Chuk Maaf is a new Indian Hindi sci-fi romantic comedy movie featuring Rajkummar Rao, who recently had a big hit with Stree 2 and a flop with Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, along with Wamiqa Gabbi. The film is written and directed by Karan Sharma.

The film was initially slated to be released in theaters on May9th, and it was scheduled for a direct OTT release on 16th May, but finally, it has been released in theaters today. Let’s check how the film has been shaped up in our review of Bhool Chuk Maaf.

Story:

Ranjan Tiwari and Titli are in love and excited about marriage. Titli’s father insists Ranjan get a government job or forget his daughter. Ranjan secures the job, only to be trapped in a loop of his haldi day. He experiences the same events daily, leaving those around him confused. The film follows Ranjan’s efforts to escape the time loop. 

Performances:

Rajkummar does well and makes some fun moments work, but one cannot help but feel that he needs to snap out of his small-town characters. Wamiqa offers a fresh presence and delivers good work. Sanjay Mishra and Raghubeer Yadav perform well.

Analysis:

Director Karan Sharma presents an intriguing concept in Bhool Chuk Maaf, but the story unfolds slowly. The initial part sets up the love story of the main characters and the setting. The real twist happens around the interval and delivers great laughs.

The latter half kicks off strongly, featuring Karan’s witty lines, yet the screenplay remains uneven, slightly salvaged by Rajkummar’s humor and hitting the right note only at the climax. The film’s family theme mirrors Maddock’s previous works, such as Mimi, Luka Chuppi, and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, featuring familiar actors. But there is a lack of chemistry among the parents and the hero’s character.

Positives:

  • Basic Story
  • Some Comedy Episodes
  • Climax Episode

Negatives:

  • Not all comedy scenes work
  • Repetitive Feel
  • Family Scenes/Characters not up to the mark

Bhool Chuk Maaf Movie Review and Verdict:

Karan Sharma’s Bhool Chuk Maaf could have been an entertaining and intriguing ride. But the continuously swinging narration diminishes its effect. Rajkumar Rao’s efforts and some comedy scenes work well for the film, and that’s it.

Harish Shankar dropping the remake plan of Theri?

0

Tollywood Director Harish Shankar and Actor Pawan Kalyan collaborated for their Ustaad Bhagat Singh long ago. The film was confirmed to be a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Theri starring Vijay. After this confirmation, Netizens and Fans expressed their dissatisfaction and even trended a hashtag #WeDon’tWantTheriRemake on X/Twitter. But Harish Shankar went ahead, and the film was later put on hold due to Pawan Kalyan’s political commitments.

Now, Pawan Kalyan has resumed the shoot of his current films. He finished the shoot of Hari Hara Veera Mallu and will also start OG soon. The shoot of Ustaad Bhagat Singh has also been announced to start soon today with a Poster. However, something looked peculiar on the poster. The Poster showed Harish Shankar getting the credit for Story and Screenplay along with Direction, which raised the eyebrows of netizens.

This gave rise to the speculation that the Director had dropped the remake plan of Theri and was coming up with his own story. But many wondered why this move happened, as Ustaad Bhagat Singh was always planned as a remake of Theri. So, it can be understood that the Director and the makers have moved away from this plan, fearing a bitter result at the box office. This happened for the Director’s previous film, Mr. Bachchan, which was a remake of Bollywood blockbuster, Raid.

Mr. Bachchan became a miserable failure at the box office and Harish Shankar seemed to have understood that it may not be viable to go ahead with Theri’s remake for Ustaad Bhagat Singh. And moreover, the official Hindi remake of Theri, Baby John, bombed at the box office, sending danger bells to Ustaad Bhagat Singh. So, the team must have arrived at a conclusion to stop the remake plan.

It is also speculated that the story had been changed, and few scenes that were shot earlier will be scrapped, and the team might start the shoot afresh. However, we don’t have any confirmation regarding this, and let’s wait for the team’s response.

Spirit Movie Sparks Unnecessary Controversy

0

Prabhas’s Spirit movie with Sandeep Reddy Vanga was announced long ago, but still, it did not go to the floors. The film was in the pre-production phase. But before it could start the official shoot, Spirit Movie got involved in unnecessary controversy after Deepika Padukone’s exit.

At the pre-production stage, it is common for any movie to have changes in the cast and crew due to many reasons. In many movies, even after the shoot starts, the lead actresses have also been changed.

Prabhas – Vanga’s Spirit Involved in a Controversy after Deepika’s Exit

For Spirit, reportedly, the team cast actress Deepika Padukone as the lead actress. Due to some creative differences, the actress no longer exists in the project, and the team is looking at other options.

However, because of this issue, Prabhas’s Spirit Movie got involved in unnecessary controversy. The audience has been divided into two sections in this issue because of too many versions/reports getting spread online. 

Spirit Controversy – Audiences Split in Support of Deepika and Sandeep Vanga

While one version says that Deepika asked for huge remuneration and she also has differences with Vanga regarding the working hours, and the netizens started to call her an unprofessional actress.

But the other side, especially Deepika’s fan group, says that she has a point, as she has to take care of a 9-month-old baby, so she can not spend time on movie sets like before. Fans say that it is her decision and wish to demand what she wants.

Because of so many narratives and viewpoints, this topic went viral on the internet, which is not all needed for the film. The netizens also say that the Spirit’s team also made a mistake, and they could have dealt with this in a simple manner.
