Salman Khan Denies Getting Paid Lesser Than Madhuri Dixit In HAHK

Superstar Salman Khan says he wasn't paid lesser than his 1994 blockbuster Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! co-star Madhuri Dixit, as suggested by veteran actor Anupam Kher.
Anupam was running a gender equality initiative on Twitter when a woman mentioned about the pay disparity in Bollywood, to which the "Baby" actor replied: "I agree in certain cases it is true. But Madhuri was paid more than Salman in HAHK ('Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!')"
Asked about Anupam's statement at a press interaction here, Salman initially claimed that he wasn't aware of it, but later replied: "I don't think it is true."
Salman was present at a dance reality show with actors Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty to promote their upcoming film, Hero.
Regarding disparity in remuneration, Salman said "It's all about what people want to see."
"The busier you get, the more people want to see you, that's how your price increases. So if you can pull off a solo hero or solo heroine film on your own and the producers, exhibitors and distributors make that money then the producer doesn't have any problem sharing that money with you. So you can't demand, you need to command that," he added.

Paayum Puli First Weekend (3 Days) Box Office Prediction

Vishal's Paayum Puli released yesterday after facing a last minute demurral from some theatre owners. As it turned out, the protest that created a lot of fuss, helped the movie to earn itself an unintentional promotion at the right moment which might reflect in the box office collection of Paayum Puli by the end of its first weekend.
Paayum Puli (U): Book Your Tickets Right Away!
So will Paayum Puli be a success at the box office? Well, it might be a moderate success as the movie has garnered average reviews from critics and movie goers.
But trade analysts think otherwise as they have predicted that the movie might have enough in it to be more than just a mediocre success at the box office.
Suggesting that the film might do really well at B and C centres for its good stunt sequences and intense second half, experts have also revealed that the movie's performance at A centres is something that might bother its producers.
With tough competition from Jayam Ravi's Thani Oruvan and all the other upcoming films that will be released in the consecutive weeks, Paayum Puli's chances at the box office looks a touch fragile at the moment even after considering all the valuable inputs from trade experts.
Jyothika's Take On Cosmetic Surgeries: It Turns Good Actresses Into Bad Actresses!

Actress Jyothika, in one of her interviews had mentioned that many of today's upcoming actresses are not confident enough in flaunting their beauty as gifted by the Almighty. She was referring to the spike in number of actresses going under the knife in order to get that perfect look. The 36 Vayadhinile actress even went on to say that actresses should concentrate more on their acting skills and should remain confident in portraying themselves as themselves.
But the most important point that was put forward by the talented actress would make many aspiring actresses rethink about beautification surgeries that's proving to be a menace with each passing day.
Apart from harmful side effects these surgeries can have on young girls, it could also make them rigid, according to Jyothika. She said these surgical procedures, especially the ones performed on the face could restrict an actor's facial expressions, ultimately turning them into bad performers.
The actress might have a point here because, when the facial features of a person is manipulated artificially, their natural expressions might change along with it. And for an actor, it is definitely important to bring out his or her natural expression in order to emote and act.
Are there any scientific proof to back up Jyothika's theory? We wonder.

Savaale Samaali Movie Review & Rating: This Comedy Flick Fails To Induce Laughter!

Savaale Samaali Plot:
Ashok Selvan works in a small-time TV channel headed by Karunas. As their channel is one among the worst when it comes to the TRP ratings, Ashok Selvan along with his friend, played by Jagan, come up with a plan to make their TV channel recognizable.
The device is to host a love reality show, which they hope would change their channel's fortunes. Will they be able to succeed in their mission?
The answer lies in the rest of the movie as director Sathyasiva has tried to expose the comical elements involved in TV shows.
Performances:
Ashok Selvan's attempt to try a full length comedy movie has backfired as the actor looks totally unconvincing when he tries to make his audience laugh.
Leading lady Bindu Madhavi gets limited screen space in which the actress has hardly expressed. In fact, she looks like a total misfit. Jagan's one liners have failed largely barring a couple of scenes where he has managed to evoke laughter genuinely.
The only comfort this movie gets in its performance department comes in the form of veteran performers like Nassar, MS Bhaskar and Oorvasi.
Technicalities:
ShelvaKumar's cinematography is on par when compared to some of the recently released Tamil films. His angles though are pretty straight forward.
Editor Ahamed could've easily trimmed many unwanted scenes which would've at least made the film shorter. Surprisingly, Thaman's background score too fails at many places.
Overall View:
Savaale Samaali's basic objective is to induce laughter. But unfortunately, the film fails to achieve that.
