Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Was Trending Better In Terms Of Advance Booking ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Akshay Kumar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan has opened in the theaters, and the film, with its very first show, has to gear up to face brickbats. The film has opened to bad reviews, and a clash with Maidaan would certainly not help Ali Abbas Zafar’s action-biggie.
However, the worst has happened already, with a trade analyst hinting that the advance booking numbers for the film might be fake. The action biggie, also starring Tiger Shroff, was trending better in terms of advance booking for day 1.
As per reports, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan closed the advance booking for day 1 with almost 5 crore worth of pre-sales at the box office, but this might not be entirely true, since trade analyst Nishit Shaw decoded how an 80% booked show on Book My Show for the first day...

The Family Star Box Office Collection Day 6 (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur’s The Family Star is struggling to rake in a healthy total at the Indian box office. After a dismal total during the opening weekend, the film witnessed an expected disastrous drop on the first weekday and collection went below 1.50 crores. Due to Ugadi, there was a slight jump on Tuesday but again, numbers were low yesterday. Keep reading to know more!
Directed by Parasuram, the romantic family drama released on 5th April and it opened to mixed reviews from critics. Speaking about the audience reactions, it has been highly inclined towards the negative side. As a result, the film has pretty much turned out to be a one week affair.
The Family Star took a slow start by garnering just 5.75 crores on Friday. With not-so-good reaction from the audience, the film witnessed a drop right on the second day.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan & Maidaan Advance Booking Collection Is Underwhelming. (Photo Credit – IMDb)
As we currently speak, Ajay Devgn’s much-awaited and much-delayed film Maidaan has made it to the big screen, beating Akshay Kumar‘s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan by a few hours. The two films will clash tomorrow on the big screen after the paid previews of Ajay’s film.
Since this has been a much-hyped Eid clash, box office numbers for both films will be eagerly awaited as well. Meanwhile, the advance booking for both films has been rather poor. Much of this might have been because of the confusion of the release dates.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan collectively have registered a gross earning of almost 2.78 crore till 7 pm. This is a very low and underwhelming number, considering the superstars leading the film. However, as we discussed, this low figure might solely be due to the confusing release dates.

Anderson Cooper has spent much of his career roaming the globe, documenting the kind of stories few others are eager to cover — disease, natural disasters, genocide, war. Comfort has never been his mainstay.
But he has his moments.
In 2008, Cooper traveled to Cameroon for the CNN docuseries Planet in Peril, looking for bush hunters whom epidemiologists were following in their study of viruses that jump from animals to humans, with his longtime executive producer Charlie Moore, CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta and Gupta’s producer.
Their temporary headquarters was a ramshackle hut deep in the jungle with no cell service. Once there, they split up to find bush hunters and made a plan to reunite at the hut. Gupta and his producer returned, but didn’t find Cooper and Moore there, and worried all night about his friends in the wild. Only the next day did he wake up...

Based on a Japanese manga by Garon Tsuchiya Nobuaki Minegishi, Park Chan-wook's 2003 film "Oldboy" is a sensational, harrowing, violent, exhilarating opera of sin, retribution, and tragic twists worthy of Shakespeare. Tapping into a particularly Korean sense of social anxiety, it explores experiences of free-floating guilt and the sense that one might be punished at any moment for a slight you didn't know you committed. It's a panic attack of a film that swings for the walls -- literally, with a hammer -- and thwacks a few skulls in the process. Aggressive, enormous, bloody, and blunt, "Oldboy" may be one of the best films of its decade.
In 2003, Park's film -- the second part of what the filmmaker called a Vengeance Trilogy -- received a lot of attention. It won the Grand Prix at Cannes and dozens of other film awards besides. Quentin Tarantino talked it up immensely, and critics gushed.

CNN chief executive Chris Licht is betting big on his handpicked co-host combo of Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Katilin Collins to deliver a win with his morning show reboot, “CNN This Morning.”
As more layoffs loom and his primetime anchor experiments produce unease in the company and tepid ratings so far, Licht is in desperate need of solid results that can win over the trust of a weary and wary staff who have been shaken by the changes Licht has made since he took over the news network last spring under new corporate owner Warner Bros. Discovery.
A change in CNN’s morning was definitely necessary. Over the past year, “New Day” averaged just 414,000 total viewers — its smallest morning audience since 2015 — compared with 839,00 for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and 1.36 million for Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”

CNN has cut some staffers from its audio team, in what the network said was a change in strategy at the division.
A CNN spokesperson said, “Audio is an important growth area for the company. Over the last several years we’ve learned a lot about the topics and productions that most resonate with our audiences. As a result, we’ve refined our strategy to focus our resources more specifically in those areas.”
Business Insider reported that eight people were affected, and they were sales and editorial positions. A network source said that “a small number of changes” but that it was “a relatively small group.”
CNN’s audio division has produced a number of podcasts, including a recently launched series in which Anderson Cooper explores loss and grief. Other podcasts are hosted by on-air personalities including Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Harry Enten, as well as The Axe Files with David Axelrod.

Among those who share their experiences are Stephen Colbert, Molly Shannon and Laurie Anderson.
In a statement, Cooper said, “I’ve often felt isolated and alone in grief and yet it is something all of us will experience in our lives. It’s helped me tremendously to hear from others on how they move forward in the face of loss, and I hope it helps listeners of this podcast as well.

On Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced his intent to retire from government work in December.
His first stop after announcing his decision? An exclusive interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
Maddow, asking about the increasingly distorted definition of “the truth,” asks Fauci what we can do in a world where “objective reality, or nuance, is, by definition, the enemy.”
Fauci responded by saying that the “complete distortion of reality” we see will continue to be a challenge.
“I mean, a world where untruths have almost become normalized, how we can see something in front of our very eyes and deny it’s happening,” Fauci told Maddow. “That’s the environment we’re living in. You could look at January 6 on TV, and you have some people who actually don’t believe it happened.

“At this stage of life, I have three teenage girls, so I’m not sure when I’m being mocked or when I’m being flattered,” he said on CNN. “I guess that just goes with the territory.”
The scene Gupta is referring to sees Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and her grandmother Nirmala (Ranjita Chakravarty) discussing a “DIY Sanjay Gupta” that’s included in Nirmala’s Golu – the festive display of dolls and figurines in South India.
“Hubba hubba,” says Nirmala, who suggests her Gupta figurine might be “too sexy.”

There’s a specific turbulence that accompanies high school coming-of-age stories, and plenty of shows have attempted to trace the growing pains of growing up — among them, beloved shows like “Euphoria,” “Degrassi,” “All American” and “Skins,” which delve into admittedly adult and weighty topics. Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever,” from co-creators Lang Fisher and Mindy Kaling, is born of grief and trauma — Maitreyi Ramakrishnan’s Devi Vishwakumar is still reeling after the death of her father — but the series stands apart for letting its central teen be, well, a teen.
“We like that we have someone who’s a little immature,” Fisher, who also serves as showrunner and executive producer, told TheWrap. “She’s insecure and she makes defensive moves out of her insecurity because that’s the kind of teenager I was and our writers were and most people are. You are sort of dishonest and a little...
