Actor Siddharth had to exit a press conference due to a Cauvery water dispute protest

Siddharth, who was promoting his upcoming film Chithha in Bengaluru, Karnataka, was compelled to leave a press conference at the city’s SRV theater by members of a pro-Kannada group.

During his interaction with media members, a few men walked in and asked him to leave. In support of the ongoing Cauvery protest, they directed the press conference organizers to end the event immediately. A protester said, “We are fighting here and the Cauvery water is going to Tamil Nadu. And he is promoting the film, do you guys want this?”

While the men were speaking, Siddharth continued to engage with the media in Kannada while ignoring them. However, one of the protestors told the actor, “We have not come to order. We have come to request. Please stop this.” Then the actor stood up from his chair and thanked the media members before exiting the press conference.

For those who are not familiar, several pro-Kannada organizations, farmer groups, and labour unions have called for a Karnataka Bandh to protest the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu on September 29th. According to the protesters, water is being released to Tamil Nadu while the southwest monsoon is drawing to a close and storage levels are very low in the Cauvery basin reservoirs in Karnataka. The Cauvery is the primary source of drinking water for Bengaluru and farmland irrigation in the Mandya region of the state.

King of Kotha starring Dulquer Salmaan in lead is now ready for its digital premiere.

Gadar 2 surpasses Pathaan, becomes the no. 1 Bollywood film in India

Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 has created history and emerged as the highest-grosser of all time in Bollywood. The film is on the 47th day of its run and has surpassed the lifetime collections of Shahrukh Khan’s Pathaan.

The Shah Rukh Khan starrer which was released earlier this year earned Rs 524.50+ crore nett in its full run at the domestic Box Office. Gadar 2 started the day on Rs 524 crore and has now surpassed the collections of Pathaan in a surprising fashion and stands at Rs 525.75 crores share. Not many people expected this kind of performance from the Anil Sharma film when a sequel to his 2002 blockbuster was announced.

Although this is a remarkable accomplishment, Gadar 2’s title as the biggest blockbuster of all time won’t last for long. With Jawan, which has earned Rs 514 crores from the Hindi version so far, Shah Rukh Khan will retake his crown.

The Hindi versions of all three films contributed 90% to these monstrous collections. The three films together have given the industry a massive boost this year that no other movie in the post-pandemic world could. If everything goes according to plan, Bollywood will soon see another 1000-crore movie in the form of Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 set to release later this year.

Chandramukhi 2 Movie Review – Sequel with bare limited engaging moments

Movie: Chandramukhi 2
Rating: 2.25/5
Cast: Raghava Lawrence, Kangana Ranaut, Lakshmi Menon, Mahima Nambiar, Vadivelu
Director: P Vasu
Produced By: Subaskaran Allirajah
Release Date: 28th September 2023

Story: Ranga Nayaki (Radhika Sarathkumar) and her family members, who have been dealing with some issues, are advised by Swamiji (Rao Ramesh) to offer prayers to their family deity. The temple where they need to perform prayers is located near Vettaiya’s palace. Basavaiah (Vadivelu) rents the palace to the family. However, they are unaware of Chandramukhi’s evil spirit’s presence in the palace. What difficulties did the family experience because of the spirit? How Is Madhan (Lawrence) related to the family and Chandramukhi? What is the specific intention of Chandramukhi’s spirit in harming the family of Ranga Nayaki? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

Performances: Kangana Ranaut and Raghava Lawrence both performed well in their roles. Especially they excelled in the climax episode. Radhika Sarath Kumar, Lakshmi Menon, and Rao Ramesh were apt, while Mahima Nambiar and others were ok. Vadivelu could not impress this time with his comedy.

Positives:

  • Spirit Revealing Episode
  • Flashback
  • Climax

Negatives:

  • Silly Comedy
  • No Horror Elements
  • Weak First Half

Verdict:

Overall, Chandramukhi 2 is a decent watch. The flashback in the second half, a few emotional scenes and the climax work well for the film, while Kangana Ranaut and Raghava Lawrence also made an Impact with their performances. The silly comedy, lack of thrills and a below par first half act as the minus points for the film.
