SCOOP: Red Chillies team meets producers of Animal; averts ugly fight over screens for Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar

The clash of Prabhas-starrer Salaar and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki on December 22 has sent shockwaves across the industry. The trade and exhibitors got worried since it’s become a norm for distributors to fight tooth and nail over sharing of screens.

As a result, theatres across the country have been bracing to tide over this sticky situation on December 22. But if sources are to be believed, then the exhibitors and trade can heave a sigh of relief. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Salaar will be distributed by Anil Thadani’s AA Films, who are also the distributors of Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, which releases on December 1.

Bombay High Court judge says films like Singham “send dangerous message”; also criticises portrayal of judges in movies

Bombay High Court judge Gautam Patel has warned against the “dangerous message” sent by films like Singham, which portray police officers as delivering instant justice without following due process of law. In a speech at an event organised by the Indian Police Foundation, Justice Patel said that such films encourage "impatience" with the rule of law and create a negative image of the police as "bullies, corrupt, and unaccountable." Justice Patel also criticised the way judges are portrayed in such films, saying that they are often shown as "docile, timid, thickly spectacled, and often very badly dressed." This, he said, reinforces the populist notion that the courts are not doing their job and that the police need to take matters into their own hands. He elaborated by saying, "Singham movie has especially shown in its climax scene where the entire police force descends on a politician played by Prakash Raj...and shows that justice has now been serv...
