This 2 hour 13 minute film is a blockbuster hit, neither has a superstar nor a glamorous heroine, still resonates after 12 years, film is.., lead actors are…
In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go. Some entertain us for a bit, while others just flow like passing clouds. But once in a while comes a film comes that wins the hearts of the audience like no other, remains etched in the memory of the audience, and resonates for years to come.
One such tale is of a film which, unlike many budget films, did not have a glamorous star cast or massive production; rather, it was only led by its powerful storyline that made people laugh with its unique comedy, relatable characters, and witty dialogues.
The film that we are talking about is none other than the comedy king Fukrey. It was released in the year 2013 and featured Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Ali Fazal, Varun Sharma, Priya Anand, Vishakha Singh, Pankaj Tripathi, and Richa Chadha. It's a crazy plot, and each character's funny wit made it a massive hit, and it hit gold at the box office. Despite being made on a humble budget of Rs. 8 crores, it collected 36.5 crores in India.
With Fukrey's massive hit, it evolved over the years and became a full-blown franchise. Soon, its second part, Fukrey Returns, came in the year 2017, which took its charm forward. Then, in 2023, Fukrey 3 came, which further cemented the franchise's place in Bollywood comedy history.
In a recent post, Pulkit posted a tribute video recalling his 12-year-long journey with Fukrey, calling it a ride filled with laughter, chaos, and brotherhood. He thanked everyone who contributed n the film with the caption saying 'Warning: Nostalgia ahead. 12 sweet years of madness, thank you for the love.'
Even after more than a decade, Fukrey resonates with the audience and brings a smile to people's faces whenever they watch it.

Prince and Family OTT Verdict: Box office, Twitter review of Dileep, Dhyan Sreenivasan's Malayalam comedy drama
Prince and Family hit JioHotstar on June 20 onwards, after completing a successful theatrical run. The movie is directed by a debutant filmmaker Binto Stephen and received mixed reviews at the time of its theatrical release. And now, within a day of its launch on OTT, social media has already been filled with reviews left by audiences who watched the film online. Here's how they felt about the movie. Prince and Family OTT verdict Well, a majority of viewers agreed that Prince and Family is a decent movie which can indeed be enjoyed with family and within a varied age group. The film's starting, as many have credited, was so well woven that none of the viewers were able to comprehend what was next in store for them. Nonetheless, there were still some traces of poor direction and disappointing writing in some quite evident places. Actor Dileep's performance was well-rounded and has been tagged as the driving force of the entire narrative. His perfect comic timing and charm attempted to outlive certain flaws like 'being cringey' and 'forced humor'. Other than him, many viewers felt that the remaining choice of cast appeared to be questionable since they did not put forth much of an effort for the joint appeal of the movie. The second half as per the audience was tedious and far-stretched, and any attempt at sending across a meaningful message was overridden. Absence of real humor and the use of outdated themes are some of the most common flaws pointed out by the netizens after watching Prince and Family on-screen. Prince and Family box office response Well, the movie appeared as the top performer in Kerala in terms of box office numbers, surpassing many Malayalam films which were released subsequently. Prince and Family outgrossed movies like Padakkalam and Sarkeet at the box office and grossed over Rs. 5.25 crore within just 5 days of release. It is only topped by Mohanlal 's Thudarum among other latest releases.

Meet India's richest comedian, has more wealth than Ranbir Kapoor, Rajinikanth, Prabhas, not Kapil Sharma, Johnny Lever, Vir Das, name is...
Meet India's richest comedian, has more wealth than Ranbir Kapoor, Rajinikanth, Prabhas, not Kapil Sharma, Johnny Lever, Vir Das, name is... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, wealth and fame often go hand in hand. However, there is one such comedian who has proved that fame can get followers, but fortune is often built quietly. Unlike the infamous name that might pop into your head when we say the word comedian, this celebrity is not Kapil Sharma or Vir Das. However, this comedian might not be a household name, but his legacy has made him India's richest comedian, whose wealth has surpassed the most celebrated stars like Rajnikanth and Ranbir Kapoor. India's Richest Comedian The comedian that we are talking about is none other than the Telugu cinema legend Kanneganti Brahmananda aka Brahmanandam. He has built a legacy worth Rs. 500 crores; this comedy star's contribution to the entertainment industry remains unmatched. From his quick wit, brilliant screen presence, and long trajectory of work, today he is not only the king of laughter but also of fortune. Kanneganti Brahmanandam was born on 1st February 1956 in Palem village, Andhra Pradesh. However, he didn't directly venture into comedy. Long before he became a comedy star, he was a Telugu lecturer, and later his passion for mimicry and theatre led him to television. His on-screen debut happened in the year 1985 on Doordarshan's Telugu show Pakapakalu, but it was the 1987 cult film Aha Naa Pellanta that rose him to fame. Brahmanandam has worked in the industry for 35 years, and he has featured in over 1,000 films. His iconic expressions, comic timing, and versatility made him irreplaceable in Telugu cinema. Today, he charges ₹1–2 crore per film, even for cameo roles, making his wealth more than the megastars of the industry. Net worth that surpasses megastars What's surprising is that his staggering net worth surpasses even South Indian megastars like Rajinikanth (₹430 crore), Ranbir Kapoor (₹340 crore), and Prabhas. In January 2009, he was also awarded Padma Shri for his contribution to the arts, a national recognition of his legendary status. His recent appearance in Kalki 2898 AD, starring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, served as a reminder of his lingering charm.
