Farida Jalal ji steals the thunder from @akshaykumar in Welcome to Jungle with her sheer, astonishing acting genius. What a performer! And what a pleasant surprise Kiran Kumar sahab is—he's one of the biggest attractions of the film and absolutely wonderful.
I watched Welcome to Jungle in Surrey, British Columbia, and honestly, I don't remember the last time I saw a theatre laugh this much. The auditorium was almost full, and people were laughing non-stop. North America mein generally audiences thode reserved hote hain. India mein log zyada khulkar react karte hain. But the way everyone was enjoying this film, I can safely say that Welcome to Jungle is going to go a long way.
Akshay Kumar is terrific in a delightful double role. @SunielVShetty is wonderful, @iamjohnylever is outstanding, @ArshadWarsi is brilliant, @rajpalofficial is fantastic, Jackie Shroff is superb, @RealVinduSingh is hilarious, while Zakir Hussain and the entire ensemble contribute beautifully. Every actor gets a moment to shine. Congratulations Ahmad Khan.
The messaging of the film is heartwarming. Doors open, people meet each other, and they welcome one another with warmth. At a time when we've had trailers of two propaganda-driven films dominating conversations, it's so refreshing to watch a clean, wholesome entertainer.
Making audiences laugh without cynicism is one of the toughest things to achieve, and when it happens, it's truly magical.
A special mention to Neeraj Vohra for the story and screenplay. No wonder Akshay Kumar has publicly appreciated his work. It absolutely deserves the praise. @farhad_samji 's dialogues are superb.
I'm definitely watching Welcome to Jungle once again. Strongly recommended. !!!

Main Vaapas Aaunga JUMPS by 80% in Week 2
A trend Bollywood almost never sees.
And the madness isn’t over yet.
The film’s 3rd Friday occupancy is higher than its 2nd Thursday, proving this is no ordinary success story.
Kem Chhe the classic song, an anthem for Gujaratis is one of the biggest hits of @anandraajanand sahab
Here he tells the story how this iconic song was conceptualized.
Lafz nahin hain to Shah Rukh Khan kya dialogue bolega, Sonu Nigam kya gaayega, says @anandraajanand sahab as he praises the importance of the written word and writers.
.@iamsrk khwabon ke saudagar hain. Lekin woh sirf khwab dekhna pasand nahin rakhte, balki aise khwab dekhne ki baat karte hain jinhein haqeeqat mein tabdeel karne ki salahiyat bhi ho.
34 saal pehle Deewana release hui thi aur aaj, 34 saal baad bhi, SRK ke andar wahi energy, wahi positivity aur wahi bhook nazar aati hai. He just does not want to rest. He keeps on working tirelessly because abhi bhi bahut kuch achieve karna baaqi hai.
Mujhe yaad hai Om Shanti Om ke dauran jab maine unse poocha tha ki kya yeh unka best work hai, toh unka jawab tha: "Hamesha next one." Shayad isi liye woh aaj bhi relevant hain. Woh apni guzishta kamiyabiyon par nahin rukte, hamesha agle maqam ki taraf dekhte hain.
The way he treats people is truly amazing. Woh logon ki zindagiyon mein genuinely interested rehte hain aur yeh baat unhein sirf ek superstar nahin, balki ek khaas insaan bhi banati hai.
King aa rahi hai aur mujhe poora yaqeen hai ke Shah Rukh Khan is film ko behtareen banane ke liye koi kasar nahin chhorenge. Pathaan aur Jawan ke baad bhi unki bhook kam nahin hui hai. He never wants to be second best. He would want King to beat the record of Dhurandhar.
Aap Shah Rukh Khan ke baare mein kya sochte hain? Kya aap unke liye dua karte hain? Apne khayalat zaroor share kijiye.
Queen @rakhisawant2511 has claimed her throne again. Her memorable podcast with me has gone past a whopping 122.7 MILLION views across various platforms. These are numbers that we could calculate. I am sure the actual numbers are way higher.
The way people have responded to this podcast is exceptional. Rakhi is truly the queen of entertainment, wit and honesty!
Your thoughts on this conversation?
Salman Khan as KARNA?
Salman might play KARNA in a film produced by Farhan Akhtar and directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
Reportedly, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has offered Salman Khan a film based on Karna, one of the most iconic characters from the Mahabharata.
Farhan Akhtar is on board as producer, with the project planned as a two-part epic.
While we await official confirmation, can Salman pull off Karna?

EETHA looks ready to create a storm across Maharashtra
@ShraddhaKapoor 's BEST PERFORMANCE to date?
EETHA teaser gets thunderous response.

After delivering an all-time blockbuster with Chhaava, Laxman Utekar returns with another powerful story.
If EETHA lands, a blockbuster could be on the cards again.
What say?
Samay Raina has completely outclassed Alia Bhatt in the inaugural episode of India's Got Latent Season 2.
The debate has started.
Approaching creators for film promotions is no longer a choice for many stars and filmmakers—it has become a necessity. The attention economy has changed, and the balance of power is shifting.
Take India's Got Latent Season 2. The show has created such unprecedented buzz that it has found a home on both Netflix and YouTube simultaneously. That's a historic achievement and a reflection of how powerful creator-led content has become.
On the other hand, despite the scale and ambition behind Alpha, the response to the communication so far has been mixed. I've personally experienced trolling while discussing the film. Some may argue that a section of it is paid trolling, but it would be unfair to ignore the genuine criticism that also exists.
Even when we look at stars like Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor, both Dhurandar and Animal have come when directors extracted something exceptional from them. Great filmmaking still matter! Great storytelling still matters.
The larger question is: what do stars need to do to get their sheen back?
Should they become more accessible? Should they engage audiences beyond film releases? Should they embrace creators rather than merely use them for promotions?
What are your thoughts? Has the creator economy permanently changed the hierarchy of entertainment?
@iFaridoon the love and admiration you have for @shreyaghoshal just shows you are part of the sgians aswell. Absolutely loved the interview of yours. Absolute queen she is. Hope to see more interviews with the melody queen💜
