After 'Brahmastra', Ticket Prices For 'Chup', And 'Avatar' Reduce To Rs. 100

Mumbai, September 25 - The makers of psychological crime thriller Chup have reduced the ticket prices of the film from Monday (September 26) along with James Cameron's Avatar re-release and R. Madhavan's Dhokha: Round D Corner. ## The aforementioned films will be available to purchase for Rs. 100-110 in most theaters. The makers haven't made the official announcement regarding reducing ticket prices of the film but it seems, the decision came after Brahmastra Part One: Shiva makers confirmed that the film can be watched in just Rs. 100+GST from Monday to Thursday. ## Reducing ticket prices could largely benefit "Chup", "Avatar", and "Brahmastra" as these films have found acceptance among the audience. It has been a long cry within the film industry that movie ticket prices should be kept low so that large audiences can afford them, and the latest development suggests the makers are finally looking for course correction. ## Director R. Balki's "Chup" has scored well in the first two days and earned 5.13 crores net. The opening day witnessed higher footfalls than the second day due to the National Cinema Day, on which ticket prices were made available for just Rs. 75. The reviews and word of mouth are positive for this film. ## On the other hand, the "Avatar" re-release has also scored well in the first two days with approx. 4.50 crores net. "Brahmastra", meanwhile, will cross 250 crores net and 400 crores gross today at the worldwide box office. It is a box office hit despite mixed reviews. ## Stay tuned...

A Perfect Opportunity For Director R. Balki To Score A Hit With Psychological Thriller 'Chup'

Mumbai, September 21 - Director R. Balki's next directorial Chup: Revenge of the Artist is creating curiosity among the audience, thanks to the very good trailer and special screenings for the fans. The psychological thriller stars Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan, Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Pooja Bhatt in leading roles. ## "Chup" received rave reviews from the audience screenings, which were held across the country on September 20 where it has been hailed as one of the best thrillers from Bollywood. The buzz for it is picking up, in fact, it is one of the most talked about mid-budget Bollywood films post-pandemic. On top of that, it will release on September 23, which happens to be National Cinema Day. ## On India's first ever National Cinema Day, ticket prices have been reduced to as low as Rs. 75 for all the movies on over 4000 theater screens across the country. The positive impact of keeping the prices low is already being seen as the advance booking for most of the films, including "Chup" is super strong on September 23. ## The National Cinema Day has come as a big opportunity for the mid-size Bollywood films that have been struggling to attract footfall in cinemas. For "Chup" things are looking way better than all other mid-size Bollywood films post-pandemic. The movie has so far sold over 72,000 tickets worth Rs. 63 lakh for the first day, and this number is expected to reach around 2,00,000 by the time the first show starts.## The opening of "Chup" will be decent considering the low ticket prices but if it gets further good reviews on day 1, which is expected after knowing the reactions from the audience screening, then the movie could have a good run and actually score a rare mid-size Bollywood hit at the box office. ## Director Balki is looking super confident and we have seen a glimpse of that in the free preview shows. The same strategy was approached by Adivi Sesh for his "Major" and the movie turned out to be a big success at the box office. "Chup" is very much on track to repeat "Major's" magic, and if it becomes a hit, then it will do a lot of good things to the upcoming mid-range films. ## Stay tuned...

Sunny Deol To Team Up With R Balki Again For A Family Drama, Co-Starring Revathi And Shruti Haasan!

Mumbai, September 7, 2021: Sunny Deol is all set to team up with director R Balki again for his next film. The actor currently shooting for Balki's edge-of-the-seat thriller alongside Dulquer Salmaan, Pooja Bhatt, and Shreya Dhanwanthary. ## After completing the ongoing project, Sunny will move to Balki's next film, which is said to be a family drama. The movie will also reportedly feature Revathi as Sunny's wife along with Shruti Haasan as their daughter. Balki zeroed in on two diametrically different subjects – a thriller and a family drama. ## Both the projects have been planned to shoot in quick time. While the Sunny Deol - Dulquer Salmaan film is expected to be wrapped up by October, the family drama kicks off by year-end or early next year. ## "Sunny Deol and Revathi play a couple, who are into a turbulent marriage with Shruti as their daughter. It's the story of how a daughter reignites the love between the middle-aged couple", said a source quoted by pinkvilla. ## Meanwhile, apart from Balki's films, Sunny Deol also has "Apne" sequel under the pipeline, which is scheduled to go on floors sometime next year in London. The movie will feature the three generations of the Deol family with Dharmendra, Sunny, Bobby, and Karan. Sunny will also reportadly return in a sequel to the historic 2001 blockbuster, Gadar. ## Stay tuned...

Amitabh Bachchan To Play An Important Role In R Balki's Psychological Thriller Film With Sunny Deol & Dulquer Salmaan

Mumbai, August 17, 2021: Director R. Balki has already started shooting for his next film that is a psychological thriller starring Sunny Deol and Dulquer Salmaan in the lead roles. The yet-to-be-titled film is the first directorial venture for Balki after Akshay Kumar starrer Padman. ## Meanwhile, ever since the movie was announced, there were rumors that legendary Amitabh Bachchan is also a part of the film considering that he shares a good rapport with the filmmaker and has done guest appearances in Balki's previous films too. Well, the filmmaker has now himself confirmed that Big B is indeed an important part of the film and that his role will be decisive. ## Speaking about Big B's role in the film, the director told Spotboye, "He has to be there. I've cast him in every single film of mine beginning with Cheeni Kum where he was the lead to Pad Man where he made a special appearance. In my thriller, Mr. Bachchan will come in at a crucial juncture in the plot. His presence would be decisive, as it always is in my cinema. I'd never cast him just for the sake of casting him". ## Balki is directing Sunny Deol for the first time. Speaking about his decision of casting Sunny in his film, the Paa director said, "I've never worked with him. I don't know why I thought of him. But this was a role that needed a man with an understated machismo. Strong yet vulnerable. A man of a few words whose presence alone makes people pay attention to him. Sunny can command respect without raising his voice or fists. I wanted that personality for this character". ## The film will also have his first collaboration with Malayalam superstar Dulquer Salmaan. "Dulquer is one of the most talented actors today. I wanted to work with him for the longest time. This thriller requires Dulquer presence. His fans will see him in an entirely new light", reveals Balki.## Written by R Balki and co-written by Rishi Virmani and Raja Sen, the movie also has Shreya Dhanwanthary and Pooja Bhatt as the female leads. The movie is expected to release early next year in theaters. ## Stay tuned...
