The release of Bollywood star Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s forthcoming film Bawaal which is directed by Nitesh Tiwari is soon going to release on the OTT platform. A few days ago, the much-awaited movie’s trailer was launched during an event held in Dubai. With this movie, the chemistry between both actors has become very well in real life as well and It is clear that Varun and Janhvi share a close bond after seeing their friendly banter on social media.

Meanwhile, Varun recently made an interesting revelation about him and his co-star Janhvi. Varun said that he didn’t talk to Janhvi for the first month of the shoot intentionally. All the talks were about work-related he revealed. Varun said that they both would become friends easily so he tried to make things a little difficult and complicated.

“Initially, at least for the first month we went on set, I tried this thing where I said I won’t communicate with her much. Because I felt we’ll become friends like this (snaps). I said let me not and let me be a little aloof, a little cold. I’ll talk to everyone else but her, and purposely,” Varun was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

I did it selfishly but I think it helped: Varun Dhawan

However, Varun admitted that it did benefit them both at the time as both of their characters in the movie progressively get to know each other. Later, when Janhvi also became aware of it, he revealed to her the cause of his aloofness. ‘Bawaal‘ will be premiered on Amazon Prime on July 21.

“I felt it might evoke something in her and something in me when we were doing scenes of that nature. (Nitesh) Sir was on this. And then eventually, I told her after 20 days. Then she realised it, otherwise, she took it personally. See, I did it selfishly but I think it helped both of us at that time. Actually, in the film, how gradually the couple got to know each other, we also got to know each other gradually, which was interesting,” he added.

Bollywood’s Most Successful Khan: Irrfan Khan’s Stellar Legacy

Bollywood’s most successful Khan isn’t Shah Rukh, Salman, or Aamir but the late Irrfan Khan. This surprising revelation emerges when we consider global box office collections. While the three Khans have dominated Hindi cinema, Irrfan’s Hollywood career elevates his earnings beyond theirs.

Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan are undeniably Hindi cinema’s top box office draws. Collectively, their films have grossed ₹22,000 crore worldwide. Shah Rukh leads with ₹9000 crore, followed by Salman with ₹7000 crore, and Aamir with ₹6500 crore. However, Irrfan Khan’s films have earned over ₹24,500 crore globally, largely due to his significant Hollywood contributions.

Irrfan’s Indian films, including hits like Paan Singh Tomar and Life in a Metro, grossed just over ₹2000 crore. Yet, his Hollywood roles in blockbusters like Jurassic World and Life of Pi added over $2.5 billion (₹22,500 crore) to his career tally. These figures place him ahead of his Bollywood contemporaries, despite his supporting roles in many international projects.

The argument may arise that Irrfan didn’t always play lead roles in these Hollywood hits, unlike Shah Rukh, Salman, or Aamir, who headlined most of their films. However, Irrfan’s Hollywood journey—marked by his ability to shine alongside global stars like Chris Pratt, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Hanks—underscores his unmatched versatility.

From critically acclaimed performances in Hindi films like Maqbool to his breakthrough in Slumdog Millionaire, Irrfan’s journey showcases his global appeal. His memorable roles in films like Inferno and Puzzle further cement his legacy. Diagnosed with cancer in 2018, Irrfan passed away in 2020, leaving behind an extraordinary body of work.

Though unconventional, Irrfan Khan’s career trajectory and global success redefine what it means to be Bollywood’s most successful Khan. His legacy as a cinematic icon continues to inspire audiences worldwide.

Baby John Movie Review: Action-Packed but Predictable

Baby John movie review

Baby John movie review: All action films share a common template—revenge and redemption with a powerful antagonist. Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan, attempts to follow this formula but struggles to leave a lasting impression.

The story introduces Baby John, living peacefully with his daughter Khushi in Kerala. A flashback reveals his past as IPS officer Satya Varma, a righteous man devastated by a tragic crime involving a powerful figure, Nanaji (Jackie Shroff). The narrative focuses on Satya’s transformation and quest for justice, mirroring the 2016 Tamil hit, Theri.

The film begins on shaky ground. The first 40 minutes lack direction, and the interactions between John and his daughter fall flat. Director Atlee, known for hits like Jawan, reuses elements such as double roles and pigeons, but these fail to create the desired impact. However, things pick up towards the intermission with a well-crafted action sequence.

Varun Dhawan, in his first full-fledged action role, delivers commendable punches and pulls off intense scenes, aided by Sunil Rodrigues’ action choreography and Thaman S’s electrifying background score. Unfortunately, Thaman’s songs feel uninspired and disrupt the narrative.

The film’s second half redeems some of its earlier flaws. Rajpal Yadav as Ramsevak provides comic relief, and Jackie Shroff excels as the formidable antagonist, adding weight to the climax. Wamiqa Gabbi as Tara and Keerthy Suresh as Satya’s wife contribute adequately but leave minimal impact.

While Baby John entertains with its action sequences and gripping second half, it falters with a sluggish start, dull music, and predictable plotlines. The movie’s reliance on clichés and overused cameos like Salman Khan’s doesn’t help.

If you’re a fan of masala potboilers, Baby John is worth a watch, provided you can endure its slow moments.
