Referring to Bhuvan Bam’s video, Advaita Kala, author, and screenwriter of big films such as Kahaani, Anjaana Anjaani tweeted that his video is not humour. It’s vulgar misogynistic trash that objectifies women and in particular pahaadi women.

NCW had tweeted on Thursday that they have taken cognizance. Chairperson @sharmarekha has written to @CPDelhi to register FIR & to take strict action in the matter. NCW has also written to Secy, Ministry of Electronics & IT to take appropriate action against the YouTube channel for violating the dignity of women.

The comedian’s apology came after several users, including the NCW, commented that the video objectifies women. On Twitter, writer Ashish Nautiyal uploaded a scene from the video in which a character played by Bam requests an automatic car model for a shoot.  Bam uses innuendo during the conversation to imply that the dealer traffics women. Bam then asks his friend, Pahadan chalegi? (Will a model from the mountains serve better?)

The video Automatic Gaadi has garnered over 12 million views and 2 million likes on YouTube.

Akshay Kumar reacts to Jaya Bachchan’s criticism of Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, says if she has said it, then it must right

“If she’s said that, then it must hold some truth,” the actor conceded when informed about Bachchan’s remarks. “If I made a mistake with a title like ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’ and she feels that way, then she may be right.”

Akshay Kumar has responded to criticisms of his social dramas, including “Padman,” asserting that only a fool would condemn such films. However, he quickly amended his stance upon learning about Jaya Bachchan’s negative comments regarding the title of his film “Toilet Ek Prem Katha.”

“If she’s said that, then it must hold some truth,” the actor conceded when informed about Bachchan’s remarks. “If I made a mistake with a title like ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’ and she feels that way, then she may be right.”

Initially, Akshay dismissed the idea that his films faced criticism, stating, “I don’t believe anyone has truly criticized my work; only a fool would do that. Films like ‘Padman,’ ‘Airlift,’ ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha,’ ‘Kesari,’ and ‘Kesari 2’ have all been made with great passion. They impart valuable lessons, and I haven’t come across real criticism of them.”

The film “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” was particularly notable for supporting the government’s initiative against open defecation. In a recent interview with India TV, Jaya Bachchan expressed her disapproval, stating that she would never watch a film with “toilet” in its title. “I would never go to see a movie with such a name. Is that truly a name?” she remarked.

Akshay emphasized his commitment to driving positive change through cinema, explaining, “It’s always about effort. For instance, ‘Toilet’ aimed to ensure there was a toilet in every home, and the government still shows the film for free in villages. ‘Padman’ intended to create an open dialogue between daughters and fathers about menstrual hygiene. These films strive to raise awareness and touch people’s lives.”

Looking ahead, Akshay’s upcoming release “Kesari 2,” featuring Ananya Panday and R. Madhavan, is set to hit theaters on April 18. The film is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela, never far from the headlines, has set social media ablaze with her latest bold declaration: she considers herself the top promoter in the entertainment industry, second only to Shah Rukh Khan.

In a recent interview, when asked about being labeled self-obsessed, the actress responded with characteristic flair, saying, “Some say that after Shah Rukh Khan, I’m the best at promotion. Even the Hollywood team behind Reacher Season 3 reached out to me to boost their show.” Urvashi emphasized that promoting films is a core part of an artist’s role, one she embraces wholeheartedly.

Social media erupts

The internet didn’t hold back. Clips of her interview flooded platforms like Reddit, where users unleashed a mix of memes, witty jabs, and reluctant admiration. One user quipped, “Her confidence is so over-the-top it’s almost inspiring—cringe, but bold!”

Another added a playful twist: “Everyone needs a friend like Urvashi in their life—never a dull moment.” Some speculated she’s mastered the art of stirring buzz, suggesting her headline-grabbing remarks are a calculated move to stay in the spotlight.

Urvashi’s knack for sparking conversation is nothing new. Fresh off the success of her recent film Daaku Maharaj, she faced flak for comments tied to the project and a mention of Saif Ali Khan that raised eyebrows. Now, her Shah Rukh Khan comparison has reignited the chatter, cementing her reputation as a polarizing yet magnetic figure.

Beyond the viral moments, Urvashi remains busy on the professional front. She’s gearing up for Jaat, an action-packed film alongside Sunny Deol, which has fans buzzing with anticipation. Her latest dance track, Sorry Bol, dropped recently, dividing audiences—some praised her vibrant energy, while others drew parallels to the iconic Tip Tip Barsa Pani. Love her or not, Urvashi’s ability to command attention is undeniable.

As she navigates the highs and lows of fame, one thing is clear: Urvashi Rautela knows how to keep the world watching, whether through her performances or her unapologetic confidence.

Jaat box office collection Day 2: Sunny Deol action drama earns Rs 20 crore

The film marks the Hindi directorial debut of Gopichand Malineni, who is well-known in the Telugu film industry.

The film “Jaat,” starring Sunny Deol, has made a significant impact at the domestic box office, raking in an impressive ₹20.1 crore gross over its first two days of release. Directed by Gopichand Malineni, the movie hit theaters on April 10 and garnered ₹11.6 crore on its opening day alone. This strong performance indicates a positive reception from the audience, though the film has received a mix of reviews from critics.

The production company Mythri Movie Makers shared the box office collection figures on their official X account, creating buzz around the film’s success. “Jaat” not only features Sunny Deol but also includes talented actors such as Randeep Hooda, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Saiyami Kher, contributing to a strong ensemble cast. The film marks the Hindi directorial debut of Gopichand Malineni, who is well-known in the Telugu film industry.

Despite its commercial success, “Jaat” has elicited mixed feedback from viewers and critics alike. A review from The Hindu highlighted some concerns, noting that the current trend in Telugu masala films, particularly in Gopichand’s storytelling, often leans heavily towards style over substance. According to the review, this imbalance can overshadow the narrative depth, leading to a loss of cultural specificity, particularly when Northern and Southern cinematic elements are intertwined.

The review also pointed out the film’s explicit portrayal of violence, mentioning graphic scenes that depict severed heads and manipulative narratives involving crimes against children, women, and the elderly. Such elements can detract from the overall viewing experience, raising questions about the handling of sensitive subjects in cinema.

In addition to his work on “Jaat,” Sunny Deol is currently engaged in another exciting project titled “Lahore 1947,” which also stars Aamir Khan and Preity Zinta. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, this film is highly anticipated.

Randeep Hooda is also busy with another venture, “Matchbox,” which features John Cena and is directed by Sam Hargrave, known for his work on “Extraction” and “Avengers: Endgame.” The future looks bright for both actors as they continue to take on diverse and compelling roles in their careers.
