New Delhi, Aug 10 (PTI) Films from Singapore are set to be screened here in a festival, which marks Singapore’s 50th birthday and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between India and Singapore.

The event has been themed on “Stories from the Heartland”.

Heartland is a commonly used term in Singapore to refer to the towns and neighbourhoods where people live, gather and play.

The festival is being organised on August 13, August 14 and August 16 in partnership with the Directorate of Film Festivals and aims to present another side of the popular tourist and business destination, a futuristic city state in the tropics, according to a statement by the organisers.

Lim Thuan Kuan High Commissioner of Singapore to India said in a statement, “The first Singapore Film Festival in New Delhi was held in 2012. This time, the festival is back ? bigger and better. We have lined up a range of films which have gained recognition internationally and in the region.”

Seven films ? both feature and shorts ? by Singapore filmmakers would be screened.

“Covering a range of themes such as migration, family and art, they promise to intrigue, entertain, and inspire.

Audiences will also get the chance to get up close and personal with some of the filmmakers, who will be holding post-screening workshops,” Kuan said.

Workshops and post-screening dialogues with filmmakers Boo Junfeng, Sun Koh and Jow Zhi Wei, who are set to travel here for the festival are also scheduled. .

Enough has been said about how stunning SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali is or how heart warmingly beautiful Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan is. Now its time to pit these two mega blockbusters against one another to see who has the upper hand at the box office.

While there is no doubt that these two flicks have left audience in awe, setting the cash registers ringing, it is time to now analyse how these two films performed at the box office in the first five days of their respective releases. Before we start, lets take a look at the number of screens these two blockbusters were released:

SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali released on July 10 and set the box office on fire by earning over Rs 50 crore worldwide. While the film’s Telugu version has done tremendous business, going on to become the highest grossing Telugu flick, the Hindi dubbed version Prabhas- Rana starrer has raked around 67 crore till now. The film is doing tremendous business not just in India but overseas as well especially in USA. Around the 5 day mark, Baahubali already entered the prestigious Rs 200 crore club, by minting Rs 215 crore worldwide.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan

Salman Khan’s heart warming cross border entertainer has become a huge hit among the fans. Kabir Khan’s film opened incredibly well at domestic box office on the opening day, earning Rs 27.25 crore at box office. As of now, the 5 day domestic box office figures of Bajrangi Bhaijaan suggest that the film has raked around Rs 151.05 crore. And according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Salman Khan’s flick has set the overseas box office on fire as well, raking Rs 69.05 crore at overseas box office in 5 days. So in total Bajrangi Bhaijaan has raked around Rs 220.10 crore worldwide in just five days, beating Baahubali by a minor margin.

So the verdict of the five day box office battle stands as follows. Baahubali had earned Rs 215 crore worldwide while Bajrangi Bhaijaan has earned Rs 220.10 crore worldwide in a matter of 5 days. Hence, Bajrangi Bhaijaan has definitely sailed past Baahubali, based on the global box office collections.

And considering that Baahubali was made at a whopping budget of Rs 250 crore and Bajrangi Bhaijaan was made at a comparatively lesser budget, it looks like Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a bigger hit than Baahubali. Or at least that’s what the five day box office comparisons suggest.

Two autorickshaws with same registration numbers and one curious garage owner blew the lid off a racket of illegal autos plying without permit in the city, in connivance of RTO agents. The Pant Nagar police have arrested two people – a rickshaw driver and an RTO agent – in connection with the case.

So far, the cops have seized five autos which were being driven around with fake number plates.

According to the police, the racket came to light when Ghatkopar resident Nandlal Yadav (37), who owns a rickshaw and runs a garage, on Tuesday spotted an auto with registration number MH 03 BT 914. What startled him was that the registration number was exactly the same

SS Rajamouli’s much ambitious magnum opus Baahubali took years to be conceived and few more years to be shot on a grand scale. Finally, the film hit theatres this Friday and has had a great start at the ticket windows. But here’s one secret. Prabhas and Rana Daggubati who play the lead stars in the film weren’t Rajamouli’s first choice. Initially he had planned to make the film in Hindi with two Bollywood actors – Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham.

The film which has been made in Tamil and Telugu has been dubbed in three different languages including Hindi. But the initial plan was to make Baahubali in Hindi with the two actors and then dub it in different languages. We hear that the director had approached the two stars and requested them to give him some time for narration. He also had sent the scripts to the actors. But neither Hrithik nor John showed any interest in the film and Rajamouli chose to make it with Prabhas and Rana instead.

Now that the movie has certainly become the biggest Indian motion picture ever, we are sure both the Dhoom baddies will miss the opportunity of starring in the magnum opus.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan (who has recently ventured into production), unveiled the first look and also announced the release date of HERO – the movie which marks Sooraj Pancholi (Aditya Pancholi’s son) and Athiya Shetty (Suniel Shetty’s daughter)’s debut.
