R Madhavan – THE GLAMORHOLIC

We all still treasure and have happy recollections of seeing the comedy-drama “3 Idiots” from 2009. The film, which was directed by Rajkumar Hirani, struck a chord with the student body because it accurately captured the stress and hardship that comes with too much competition. Actor R. Madhavan, who plays the ardent photographer and engineering student “Farhan Qureshi” in the movie, shared a fascinating anecdote about the childbirth scene in which the kid is stillborn and the males around him begin shouting, “All is well.”

These are the words of R. Madhavan…….

During an interview with Connect FM Canada, R. Madhavan discussed the famous moment. “I recall a scene from “3 Idiots” where the baby is stillborn and all the males yell “Everything is well,” at which point the baby just kicks. Many people commented, “This is a commercial scene; this is a little too much; remove this and the film will be on the same level,” when we screened the movie for them. “The whole film is fine, and is in a different frequency,” R. Madhavan added.

After listening to everyone, Raju made the decision to suno sabki karo apni, which means to listen to everyone but do what you want. He saved that moment because, and he was completely correct, he anticipated that it would be the one that elicited cheers in the B and C centers. When the child kicked at the premiere, the audience exploded in applause, and the Bollywood actor continued. “There were people who did not clap.”

However, I am glad that Rajkumar Hirani chose to include that scene in the finished product as it has become one of the most recognizable images in the successful film. With an ensemble cast of Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Boman Irani and Omi Vaidya, “3 Idiots” remains an entertaining and timeless movie!

Impressive Box Office Numbers

Under the stewardship of Ajay Devgn, Shaitaan has delivered remarkable figures during its debut weekend. Starting off at Rs. 15.23 crore on Friday, the film witnessed a notable surge of 28 percent, raking in Rs. 19.18 crore on Saturday. Subsequently, it soared by an additional 15-17 percent, amassing between Rs. 21.75 to 22.25 crore on Sunday. Consequently, the estimated collection for the opening weekend stands at a commendable Rs. 56 crores.

Universal Acclaim

Shaitaan’s performance transcends demographics, garnering praise from both single-screen cinemas and multiplexes. With its promising trend throughout the opening weekend, the film has already established itself as a blockbuster hit. While the film initially capitalized on the festive fervor of Maha Shiv Ratri, the surge in audience attendance on Saturday and Sunday, sans any festive occasion, underscores its enduring appeal at the box office.

Positive Reception

Audience feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, hinting at an imminent entry into the coveted Rs. 100 crore club. Anticipation mounts as the film braces for a robust showing on Monday, with prospects of sustaining double-digit figures on the fourth day. Shaitaan is poised to become Ajay Devgn’s third major box office success in the post-pandemic landscape, following the triumphs of Sooryavanshi and Drishyam 2.

Future Prospects

While Devgn’s upcoming venture, Maidaan, shows promise, the true blockbuster spectacle is expected in the latter half of 2024 with the release of Rohit Shetty’s much-anticipated project, Singham Again.
