Ram Charan, Jr NTR's period drama RRR collects over Rs 500 cr worldwide in opening weekend

SS Rajamouli’s period drama RRR has sent cash registers ringing at the box-office. The Hindi version of the film has managed to earn over Rs 74 crore in its opening weekend.

RRR has grossed over Rs 500 crore worldwide on its opening weekend, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The numbers are especially significant as the film had released on a non-holiday weekend.

RRR, which stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead, had collected over Rs 257 crore worldwide on its opening day, beating the record of Rajamouli’s previous blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The Hindi version of the film has emerged as the first movie to gross over Rs 30 crore in a day in the coronavirus pandemic era, according to Adarsh. This film has beaten the Sunday box-office record of Akshay Kumar’s cop drama Sooryavanshi, which had collected Rs 26.50 crore in one day last year. According to Adarsh, RRR (Hindi) has earned a total of Rs 74.50 crore since it released on 25 March. The film has collected Rs 19 crore on its opening day, followed by collections of Rs 24 crore and Rs 31.50 on 26 and 27 March. View the tweet here:

The film has managed to perform exceptionally well at mass centres, leading to expectations that it would manage to hold on to its growth on Day 4 (today) as well.

The Hindi version of RRR had also faced some stiff competition from Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files.  The Anupam Kher-starrer remains strong at the box-office, having grossed over Rs 228 crore till date. The Kashmir Files earned Rs 8.75 crore on Sunday and is now on track to cross the Rs 250-crore mark.

RRR also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Alison Doody, Olivia Morris, Ray Stevenson and Shriya Saran in pivotal roles. The film is based on the revolutionaries Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharamaraju and their fight against the British empire. The film marks SS Rajamouli’s first directorial venture since his super-hit Baahubali franchise.

Oscars 2021 adds in-person UK hub for international nominees amid travel concerns during pandemic

With less than a month until showtime, the 93rd Oscars are taking another pass at the script. Show producers Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins and Stacey Sher remain determined to have an i n-person ceremony on 25 April in Los Angeles but told nominees on Tuesday in a virtual meeting that they’ve added a British hub after some backlash from nominees about international travel restrictions. The main event will still take place at Los Angeles’ Union station which will include a red carpet component but they are planning something special for the UK location. The show is also working with local broadcast affiliates around the world to provide satellite links for other international nominees. They said they are not totally ruling out Zoom but are hoping it doesn’t come to that. Although plans and requirements remain fluid, attendees have been told they’re expected to quarantine for 10 days prior to the show. And everyone is being told to bring a mask, even if the show is being designed...

In conversation with Christopher Doyle, cinematographer of Wong Kar-Wai cinema: How we react to spaces energizes the film

The New Yorker critic Anthony Lane described the cinematography of Christopher Doyle as “a snake — savouring the air of the streets.” Across the Atlantic Ocean, on BBC , he is credited with “changing the look of cinema”. Doyle’s “anti-Hollywood” aesthetic, associated with the streaks of thick, luminous paint in Wong Kar-wai’s films, have a striking and lasting visual vitality. It has often been described as “post-modern” — though what that means exactly is everybody’s guess. My guess is the reliance, in his images, on feelings over narrative, on style over substance — the kind that skyrocketed post-World War II artists like Mark Rothko into fame. Rothko would just paint fields of colour, and people would stand and weep in front of his large, enveloping canvases. The effect of Doyle’s imagery is not much different.  For all his artistry, Doyle is flippant, moony, and charming. During an e-mail exchange produced below, edited for length and clarity, Doyle warns, “I think you s...
