Thug Life day 7 box office: Kamal's film slows down

Mani Ratnam's 'Thug Life,' starring Kamal Haasan, opened strongly with ₹ 15.5 crore, driven by Tamil Nadu's ₹ 13.35 crore contribution. Despite initial praise for its ambition, mixed audience reception led to a sharp decline in earnings, with first-week collections totaling ₹ 41.32 crores. The film's future hinges on its second-weekend performance and international appeal due to limited domestic interest.

The truth behind Bollywood’s most iconic shooting locations

Bollywood movies often showcase stunning real-world locations, from Iceland's wrecked plane in 'Dilwale' to Goa's vibrant markets and Rajasthan's haunted forts. Filmmakers leverage these authentic settings to enhance storytelling, evoke raw emotions from actors, and add grandeur to scenes. Whether it's a spooky fort or a European city, these locations play a crucial role.
