'Tell him it's...' Madhuri Dixit was madly in love with Sanjay Dutt, but they allegedly broke up due to..., his sister then... Madhuri Dixit, the 'Dhak Dhak' girl of Bollywood, has ruled the industry since the 1980s. Her undeniable beauty, acting prowess and unmatched dancing skills made her the love of the nation. She became one of the highest-paid actresses and stole audiences hearts with her blockbuster films. Despite building a strong identity in the film industry, her rumoured affair with Bollywood's 'bad boy' Sanjay Dutt grabbed massive media buzz and became one of the most-discussed about topics in Bollywood's history. Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt captivated audiences with their magnetic chemistry in films like Khatron Ke Khiladi, Thanedaar, Saajan, Khalnayak, and Ilaaka. However, off the cameras, their emotional intimacy felt more than just professional relationship. Despite Sanjay Dutt being married at the time, he got attracted to Madhuri, during her wife Richa's undergoing treatment for a brain tumour in the United States. During her absence, it was said that that they grew increasingly close. However, the situation got complicated when his wife returned to India and was heartbroken to witness the state of their marriage. Despite Richa's efforts to rebuild their relationship, the emotional distance between her and Dutt only intensified. The End of Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt's rumoured romance In 1993, their romance took a turn when Sanjay Dutt was arrested under the TADA Act for illegal possession of arms in connection with the Mumbai Blasts. Reports claim that Madhuri distanced herself from him following his arrest and even stopped taking his calls. According to a report in Stardust magazine, Dixit firmly conveyed a message to Dutt through his sister, saying, 'Please tell Sanju not to call me up ever. Tell him that it's all over.' Her alleged response reflected that Dixit chose to move on, focusing on her career and reputation. Over the years, Dixit consistently squashed the rumours about her alleged relationship with Dutt. While, the actress chose not to engage with the media buzz and maintain a dignified silence about her past, Sanjay once hinted his affection for her. During an event in 2017, when Sanjay was asked which actor he would love to marry if given a choice, he candidly responded, 'I would like to marry Madhuri Dixit.' His remark sparked fresh conversation, but Madhuri chose to distance herself from the speculations, priortising her family and career.

Housefull 5 movie review: Akshay Kumar leads yet another loud, formulaic farce
Me: Oh brain, braaaain. It's that time again. Dead Silence Me: Don't sulk. You know the drill. Brain: Mmmmph. Me: Oh there you are, gtg, brb. Brain: I thought it's been six years, maybe they had forgotten about the fifth edition of Housefull. Didn't you have enough after the fourth? What kind of a masochist are you? Don't you know when to stop? Me: Who asked for a speech? Just doing my job. Bfn. Groan! Minutes later: Brain: So? Me: Mmmmph. Brain: Hahaha. Spill it. Me: Well, if you insist. There's this luxury liner, and that old lusty fellow, played by who else but Ranjeet, pops it, and leaves his billions to his son, called Jolly. Three Jollys show up, Riteish, Abhishek and Akshay. Each has a wife/girlfriend, can't give you their names because they are all wispy and leggy and silly. There's a fourth son (Fardeen Khan) from a second wife. There's Aakhri Pasta, no need to tell you who plays him, because by now the poor fellow must have forgotten his real name. There's Johny Lever being Johny Lever, and Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff playing Bhidu and Baba or is it Baba and Bhidu. There's also a hulky ship captain. And a doctor who's allergic to peanuts. And Nana Patekar in a dhoti and kurta. Oh, and there's a killer loose. Also Read | Housefull 5 movie release live updates Brain: And? Me: Memory-loss inducing drugs coloured a virulent blue. DNA test labs. Masked murderers. And a rainbow-coloured parakeet. Brain: The same one which got sucked into a vacuum hose? Me: Who knows? All I know that the bird has a bigger speaking part than some of the ladies, but what can you do, there are so many characters, the writers must have had a hard time handing out an equal number of lines to each. But then they must have thought, oh, they're all birds, so that's okay. Brain: Phew. Me: Right. Actually, I have to say that compared to the previous Housefulls, this one has a slightly fuller house, but because no one expects anything else, it's pretty much like the older ones– characters tumbling over each other, crass jokes about body parts and fluids (how can they not be there) abound, and yes, there's that classic climactic human chain, where the entire cast is yelling and screaming and shouting and… Brain: Stop, I'm hurting. Me: You asked for it, so shut it, and listen. Brain: You mean there's more? Me: Well, it did get to the point where it's all a blur, and I managed a nap, and WHY ARE THESE FILMS SO LONG? And Akshay roams around the ship's hallway with a long tail… Brain: Wait what? Me: It's plastic, and a prop, and all the Jollys are in bed with women who are not their wives. One turns out to be a man… Brain: No more. I'm exhausted. How did you survive? Me: The only thing that kept me going was the knowledge that it will all get over, everything does, right? And oh, Nana Patekar has a Marilyn Monroe moment, and the Khalnayak theme song keeps getting played, and Baba and Bhidu keep smirking and skulking, and… Also Read | Housefull 5 advance booking: Akshay Kumar comedy sells tickets worth Rs 9.84 crore, breaks Kesari's record Brain: QUIT RIGHT NOW. I feel for you. But serves you right, right? Me: Right. Housefull 5 movie cast: Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandes, Chunky Panday, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Ranjeet, Fardeen Khan, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Chitrangada Singh, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Johny Lever, Nikitin Dheer, Soundarya Sharma Housefull 5 movie director: Tarun Mansukhani Housefull 5 movie rating: One star

Housefull 5 trailer review: An unfunny promo with repeated gags and same old comedy with Akshay Kumar being the only savior
It feels like a rehash of the first two films in the franchise with one gag from part one and one song from part two. read more The trailer of Housefull 5 is here. It's a trailer I was looking forward to and it's a film I am looking forward to since it's not just a comedy but a murder mystery too. And there are 19 actors in one film and one frame and the idea is expectedly ambitious. But the promo reeks of sameness and datedness despite the grandeur and style on display. It feels like a rehash of the first two films in the franchise with one gag from part one and one song from part two. All the actors nearing their 40s, 50s, 60s are making faces in the name of humour with little help from the smartness of the narrative. Once again, we have three people with the same name- Jolly. Not so jolly. We have the incredibly talented Chitrangda Singh go largely unnoticed in the promo. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The madness this time unfolds on a cruise so there's nowhere to run. Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt are long past their prime to give the Khalnayak nostalgia a gratifying touch. But yes, Shroff does own one moment that involves his son's viral dialogue. It's only Akshay Kumar who seems to be doing all the heavy-lifting as always. But the freshness is fading away. Nana Patekar joins the ensemble too, the man who always aces the genre of poker-faced comedy. The film releases in cinemas on June 6. The last Housefull is still the biggest hit of Akshay Kumar's career. This has to go beyond and above, even if it's as unamusing as the promo.

Released in 1993, this film made Madhuri Dixit a star, now its sequel in talks, lead actor may be replaced by..., film is
Released in 1993, this film made Madhuri Dixit a star, now its sequel in talks, lead actor may be replaced by..., film is In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, there are many films that come, entertain, and then go, but there are rarely a few that remain etched in our memories for the long haul and leave a mark for generations to come. There was one such film with a similar impact that not only struck gold at the box office but also became a cultural phenomenon. The film we are talking about is Khalnayak. It was released in 1993 and became a superhit in no time. And now decades later, the makers are planning on creating a sequel, and the buzz is unlike anything seen before, which goes to show its bold impact, unforgettable characters, and songs, which shows it appeal as a timeless classic. But since the news of its sequel has been doing the rounds. Fans are screaming with excitement as it will be a revolution for true fans of the 90s Indian cinema lovers. This might be giving the new generation a chance to relive a period that set the cinema halls on fire. But the real question is, : Will it have the same impact and attention put on it as the original did? Sanjay Dutt's portrayal of 'Ballu' in the original Khalnayak smashed records and had everyone talking, which was a sure shot given the star-studded supporting cast, including Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff, who complemented his performance. Not forgetting Subhash Ghai's magic touch that pulled everything together. Apart from that, releasable bangers like Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai were instant chartbusters and have hardly left functions and parties ever since. Subhash Ghai's excitement about the sequel is making waves in the media. The producers are working on the script and are planning to keep the spirit of the original, blending it 99with modern elements. The core narrative, Khalanayak, will still be preserved, but will feature new age storytelling and special effects. The answer others are equally curious about is: who gets to portray Ballu this time around?
