Actor Bhumi Pednekar-starrer ‘Thank You For Coming’ opened to a positive response. The film, which is directed by Karan Boolani, hit the theatres on October 6. As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the movie has managed to do decent business on release day at the box office. It has minted Rs 1.06 crore in India on day 1.
“#ThankYouForComing attracts its share of audience at urban centres, despite multiple films [new + holdover titles] to choose from… A good start, considering the smart release strategy [screen count: 550 / limited shows] and ‘A’ certificate… Fri Rs 1.06 cr. #India biz,” he tweeted.
‘Thank You For Coming’ is facing a clash at the box office with Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue’ and Rajveer Deol’s debut film ‘Dono’.
‘Thank You For Coming’ revolves around five friends and their tryst with the concept of female sexual pleasure. Besides Bhumi, the film also stars Shehnaz Gill, Kusha Kapila, Dolly Singh and Shibani Bedi. Actors Anil Kapoor and Karan Kundra have a special appearance in the film.
On receiving an overwhelming response over her role, Bhumi said, “The fact that I have been compared to all-time acting greats like Carole Lombard and Goldie Hawn by the media for my performance in Thank You For Coming is a hugely gratifying validation that will forever be special for me. I can’t believe that people are saying that I have delivered a performance of a lifetime. I’m still pinching myself reading all the love coming my way and I’m very happy about it.”
She added, “As an actor, I have only wanted to swim against the tide. The greater the challenge, the harder the task at hand, the more the opportunity to break the norm, this kind of environment is my thriving spot. I’m hugely grateful to all the film-makers who have seen me to be actor who will always try and go that extra mile for their vision.” Bhumi also thanked the makers for believing in her.
“I’m fortunate to have found an incredibly talented director in Karan Boolani and gifted, visionary producers in Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor in Thank You For Coming. They have given me a film of a lifetime and I couldn’t thank them enough. It is an important film for everyone to see – girls and boys because it talks about something that is extremely important and relevant. A girl has her rights. A woman has her rights. And she should be celebrated for exercising those rights. TYFC is a celebration of the spirit of womanhood and I’m incredibly proud that I have headlined this movie and been a vehicle to communicate this important message,” she emphasised.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui On Sacred Games Season 2 Failure: ‘People Won’t Accept If…’
![Nawazuddin Siddiqui On Sacred Games Season 2 Failure: 'People Won't Accept If...'](https://mumbaipress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-1-14.jpg)
Nawazuddin Siddiqui needs no introduction. The actor can transform himself into any character and has earned a special place in the audience’s hearts with his work. Nawazuddin’s character Ganesh Gaitonde from ‘Sacred Games’ became extremely popular, and who can forget his iconic dialogue in the series, ‘Kabhi Kabhi lagta hai ki apun hi Bhagwan hai’.
Nawazuddin was part of both seasons of Sacred Games, but for him, season 1 will always hold a special place.
In a conversation , he shared his preference for season 1 and why he thinks season 2 was not as successful as the previous one and didn’t connect with the audience.
He shared which season he preferred more and said, “Of course season 1”, adding what didn’t work in season 2, saying, “There were new characters, so it didn’t work. There were 3-4 new characters, so it didn’t work at all. Because what happens is that, the character that people loved at first, if you make them weak, people won’t accept it.”
‘Sacred Games’ is an Indian neo-noir crime drama based on Vikram Chandra’s 2006 novel of the same name. It revolves around Sartaj (Saif Ali Khan), a cop, and his run-in with Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), the most wanted criminal, and what transpires after they come in contact with each other.
Apart from Saif and Nawazuddin, the other cast includes Radhika Apte, Girish Kulkarni, Neeraj Kabi, Jeetendra Joshi, Rajshri Deshpande, Karan Wahi, Sukhmani Sadana, Aamir Bashir, Jatin Sarna, Elnaaz Norouzi, Pankaj Tripathi, Kubbra Sait, Surveen Chawla, Kalki Koechlin, Ranvir Shorey and Amruta Subhash.
The actor added that the audience is connected with certain characters and if they are missing or portrayed weakly, people often lose interest.
Giving an example of his favourite American crime drama series , ‘Narcos’, which was based on the story of a Colombian narcoterrorist Pablo Escobar, portrayed by Wagner Moura, he said, “When I saw the gangster series ‘Narcos’, and Pablo Escobar’s character, I just went crazy after watching the first season. However, in the second season, his character was made weak. Then, why should I watch it? I had a connection with him. I was emotionally connected to him. Same happened with ‘Sacred of Games 2’.”
Talking about his iconic character of Ganesh Gaitonde and the famous dialogue ‘Kabhi Kabhi lagta hai ki apun hi Bhagwan hai’, on which number of memes were made, he shared, “I used to wonder about this dialogue. I found it to be strange. Never knew at that time it would turned out to be like this (popular).”
He added that it is difficult to recreate the charm of the original. “There is a kind of energy of the director and actors and a magical atmosphere which cannot be recreated.” Nawazuddin is known for his roles in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘The Lunchbox’, ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’, and ‘Manto’, among others. He has won numerous awards, including a National Film Award and a Filmfare Award.

![MP High Court Asks Centre To Clarify If Kangana Ranaut's Controversial Film 'Emergency' Has Received CBFC Certificate Amid Sikh Allegations](https://mumbaipress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-1-3.jpg)
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh High Court, on Monday, asked the Central government to clarify whether Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film “Emergency” has received a certification by the Central Board of Film Certification.
The release of the movie, set against the backdrop of a 1984 emergency during then PM Indira Gandhi’s tenure, has been postponed from earlier date, September 6, following controversies.
The High Court issued the notice following a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the Jabalpur Sikh Sangat, which alleges that the film portrays the Sikh community in a negative light.
The Sikh group’s plea, which was set to be heard on Monday, seeks to halt the film’s release, claiming that the movie is not in the public interest. According to senior advocate NS Ruprah, who represents the Sikh body, the film could harm societal sentiments.
Ranaut, an actor-politician and BJP MP from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, stars as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film, which is scheduled for release on September 6.
The court’s intervention highlights concerns raised by the Sikh community, and it has asked the Centre to respond promptly on the film’s certification status.
The release of Kangana Ranaut’s film “Emergency” was postponed amid a major controversy over its portrayal of the Sikh community. The film was initially scheduled to release on September 6, but the release date was pushed back.
