Avengers Endgame set to break records, earns Rs 2,130 crore in two days
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The much anticipated movie of Marvel Collection: Avengers Endgame opened enormously with a record Rs 1,186 crore earnings worldwide. The film also beat Star Wars: The Force Awakens for preview record with Rs 419 crore in Thursday evening US previews this week.
While the film is being screened in 46 international markets, including India, Avengers Endgame has set a new record by earning Rs 747 crore from 608 screens in China, a record that surpasses the collection of Avengers: Infinity War.
As of now, Infinity War is the 11th-highest-grossing title of all time and the third top grossing import film in China. Endgame’s grand predecessor had its biggest debut of all time in China with a $191 million three-day opening weekend.
Avengers Endgame opened to a staggering Rs 104 crore in US, setting a benchmark for first day collections.
Created from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the last film in the Avengers saga, Endgame is a follow-up to the events of Infinity War, which ended with Thanos obliterating half of all life in the universe with a snap of his finger.
Endgame also fell prey to piracy as a camera print of the film was leaked by Tamilrockers within a few hours of its release. While the directors issued an open letter to fans urging them to not reveal spoilers, Marvel Studio head Kevin Feige had expressed his disappointment on the subject. “I wasn’t pleased. It’s not cool. It’s not fun. But the response was what I expected, which was everybody turning it off, dismissing it, ‘Don’t watch it, don’t spoil it for anybody else,’” Feige told The Associated Press.
The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The star-studded cast includes Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Josh Brolin as Thanos, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie.
Enhancing the cine-enthusiasts excitement Google has joined the Avengers: Endgame frenzy with a pretty cool trick.
If you search ‘Thanos’ on Google and click on his Infinity Stone-studded gauntlet, you will see search results wiped out with ‘snap of a finger’. Even the search results counter goes down, precisely to half while the page automatically moves up and down.
To undo Thanos’ destruction, simply click on the gauntlet again. You will see Thanos using the Time Stone to restore the search results. It’d been pretty cool if the gauntlet was capable of summoning other Infinity Stones as well.

Alt Balaji’s reality show Lock Upp has been up with several content these days. Recently, one of the contestants, Mandhana Karimi revealed that she had a secret affair with an ace director and was pregnant with his child. Sadly, she was abandoned and had to abort the baby. However, this is not for the first time that a director got involved with his films leading actress. Bollywood has witnessed several incidents where the heroine and director have gotten serious for each other. Unfortunately, most of these relationships have not always ended well.
Here’s a list of directors who fell for their film’s lead:
Ameesha Patel and Vikram Bhatt
Ameesha Patel and Vikram Bhatt both met on the sets of the film ‘Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage’. It is said that both were in a serious relationship. However, neither of them spoke openly about it at that time. But years later, in a candid interview Vikram Bhatt revealed that he later discovered that the two were not in love. There was affection and good friendship but both of them misjudged it for love.
Rohit Shetty and Prachi Desai
Rohit Shetty and Prachi Desi met on the sets of ‘Bol Bachchan’ and since then, closeness between the two started growing. Both were also spotted together at several events. However, this relationship did not last long and both of them went their separate ways.
Vikram Bhatt and Sushmita Sen
Before Ameesha Patel, Vikram Bhatt’s heart fell on Sushmita Sen. Sushmita and Vikram’s relationship was very much discussed. The director once admitted that his love-affair with Sushmita was the reason behind his divorce with his wife Aditi. They met on the sets of ‘Dastak,’ and instantly got attracted to each other. Their relationship didn’t last long because the two parted ways before things could lift off.
Anurag Kashyap and Huma Qureshi
Anurag Kashyap was Huma Qureshi’s best friend and launched her in Bollywood. Both of them were seen together at many occasions. Their relationship started soon after Anurag’s marriage with Kalki was ending. In several interviews, Huma denied about the affair but a close friend of the director revealed that Anurag had found his solace in Huma.

Why is actor Dileep’s wife Kavya Madhavan trending again, here are five points you need to know about the case
Based on a disclosure made by director Balachandra Kumar and Dileep’s former friend states that the actor conspired to get away with the police officials who probed the 2017 actress abduction case.
Seems like the troubles for actor Dileep are not ending soon. Sai Sankar, a computer expert, was taken into custody by the Crime Branch police team on Friday. According to reports, Sai allegedly helped Dileep and his aides in cleaning up their mobile phones. Actor Dileep is accused in the 2017 abduction and sexual harassment case and it seems like the investigative team has found a new lead on this case.
Based on a disclosure made by director Balachandra Kumar and Dileep’s former friend states that the actor conspired to get away with the police officials who probed the 2017 actress abduction case.
Having done films like Ee Puzhayum Kadannu, Vellaripravinte and Salaapam, Actor Dileep has won several awards like Best Actor in Lead Role for Vellaripravinte, Special Jury Award for Kunijkoonan and Special Mention for Chanthupottu. And once again the actor has made it to the headlines but for the wrong reason. The investigative team of the 2017 abduction and sexual harassment case have built a strong case against actor Dileep and it seems like the testimony given by his former friend Balachandra Kumar has worked against the actor.
Here are the five pointers which will give you a clear insight into this case.
· On 28 June 2017, actor Dileep was interrogated for the first time by Kerala Police in connection with the abduction and sexual assault of a popular Malayalam actress.
· On 10 July 2017, Dileep was arrested by the Kerala Police for alleged conspiracy but was later remanded by the court. Following his arrest, actor Dileep’s membership was revoked and cancelled by various film organizations.
· In June 2018, Dileep filed a petition in the Kerala High Court charging the Kerala Police with deliberately framing him. The actor even requested the case to be handed to the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation). Later actor Dileep filed an additional plea requesting his access to the video footage of the incident. However, the plea was denied by both the Kerala High Court and the Angamaly Magistrate Court.
· In October 2018, actor Dileep was granted bail by the Kerala High Court. And In April 2019, the Government of Kerala froze charges against him until the court gave an independent verdict on the case.
· In December 2021, film director Balachandra Kumar gave an interview to a leading news channel where he alleged that he was witness to discussions among people including Dileep regarding attacking police officers leading the investigation of this case, turning witnesses hostile, and being in illegal possession of the assault video. The director even claimed to have the audio recordings of these conversations. Hence, based on these claims, Kerala police registered a new case against actor Dileep for conspiracy to assault investigating officers.
