Famous director and filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has been sentenced to 2 years in jail and a 2 crore fine after repeated warnings of paying bills to a financer.

One Mohanlal Film Serves As A Strong Script For Damini 2 Led By Sunny Deol (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)
Last year, we saw Sunny Deol making a roaring comeback with Gadar 2 and ripping the box office apart with some jaw-dropping numbers. Now, we reimagine him wearing that lawyer’s uniform and bringing back his cult character of advocate Govind Srivastava on the big screen. Yes, you guessed it right! We’re talking about his cult crime drama, Damini. We feel that Damini 2 is highly possible, and even the script is ready if someone decides to remake Mohanlal’s recent court drama.
For those who don’t know, Damini was released in 1993 and was a huge success at the Indian box office. Apart from commercial success, the film also tasted solid critical success, and over the years, it became a cult classic. The craze of its dialogues and scenes is still there,...

In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that Sunny Deol, not Aamir Khan, will be the lead actor in the upcoming film by Rajkumar Santoshi. Aamir Khan, who was earlier reported to have signed a two-film deal with Santoshi, will only be producing the film in collaboration with Karim Morani. The film is said to be a family entertainer and is expected to go on floors in March 2023.
This will mark the reunion of Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi after a long gap of 26 years. The duo had delivered blockbuster hits like Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak in the 90s, but had a fallout later. However, they have now buried the hatchet and are looking forward to working together again.

Just out of the success of his ‘Gadar 2’, Sunny Deol is grabbing headlines all round. The beeline at his office has started again after almost two decades to sign him up. After all, heroes like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Aamir Khan are all knocking on the sixties and have been ruling the roost in the Hindi film industry. Unfortunately, lately their careers have remained fickle. Consistency is lacking in the box-office outcome of their films.
Just when the filmmakers contemplate giving up on them, they turn up one successful film which gives them another couple of years of career extension. Of course, this success enjoys the added advantage of inflated box-office figures. Let alone the public, but even other filmmakers get taken in by these!

CinemaOn a panel, Vetrimaaran and Hansal Mehta discussed the far reaching effects of representations that glorify police violence.Anjana ShekarIn a session hosted by National Law University, Delhi’s Project 39A on July 9, directors Vetrimaaran and Hansal Mehta spoke on the representation of custodial violence in Indian cinema. The subject is being hotly discussed following the custodial deaths of father-son duo Jayaraj and Bennix in Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu. The directors, having made award-winning films like Visaaranai and Shahid, spoke in great detail about the implications of portraying power and vigilante justice on screen.
