In an industry where A-list actors command millions per film, Hollywood icon Johnny Depp once secured a deal that redefined star power—earning nearly $10 million for every minute he appeared on screen in a major blockbuster. While actors like Tom Cruise and Dwayne Johnson continue to dominate headlines with paychecks upwards of $100 million, Depp quietly pulled off a remarkable feat over a decade ago. In 2008, Depp signed on to play the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Though the role was more of a glorified cameo, his star power at the time allowed him to negotiate a staggering $68 million for the part. In the film, which runs for 108 minutes, Depp appears for just seven. This translates to nearly $10 million per minute of screen time, making him the highest-paid actor on a per-minute basis in history—by far exceeding today’s industry standard of $1–1.5 million per minute for top-tier actors. To put that in perspective, Tom Cruise reportedly earned between $100–120 million for Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning, with screen time translating to about $1 million per minute. Is Shah Rukh Khan’s Swades film inspired by a ’90s TV Serial? Here's What We Know Robert Downey Jr is expected to earn $80 million for less than 60 minutes across two upcoming Avengers films. Even global draw Dwayne Johnson typically earns $80–100 million per movie, usually appearing on screen for over an hour. Depp’s extraordinary paycheck wasn’t just about screen time—it was about brand value. Disney and Burton heavily featured his image in the promotional campaign, using his Mad Hatter persona on posters and merchandise to sell the film. In 2001, back-to-back commercial failures like Blow and From Hell led many to speculate that Depp’s career was on the decline. However, he made a stunning comeback just two years later with his iconic portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which grossed $654 million and earned him an Oscar nomination. He followed up with hits like Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and more Pirates sequels, cementing his position as a top box office draw. By the time Alice in Wonderland came around, Depp wasn’t just a movie star—he was a billion-dollar brand. With inputs from HT  

Aamir Khan, known for being open about his personal life, recently spoke candidly with Zoom about marriage, divorce and his current relationship with Gauri Spratt, whom he publicly introduced on his 60th birthday (March 14, 2025). Though previously married to Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao, Aamir maintains a respectful and friendly relationship with both. In the interview, Aamir addressed public curiosity surrounding rumors of a third marriage. Sharing his thoughts on the institution of marriage, Aamir said, "In India, marriage is very serious. When your marriage falls apart and you get divorced... people don't like that, even emotionally. I know that too, and I also believe that marriage is a very important thing and shouldn't be taken lightly. I completely agree with that. That's why I can present this matter truthfully in front of people, and I should." In a candid conversation with Zoom, Aamir also said that he divorced because he was not happy; neither his (ex) wives. "Like with my marriage with Reena, I had to say truthfully that we can't be married anymore, same is the case with Kiran. It was a loss for all of us, even for our families. We were not happy to do this but there were some circumstances where we realised that our relationship has changed," said Aamir Khan. Aamir also admitted that he and Kiran could have pretended to stay married for the sake of the world. But the superstar said that it didn't feel "right" to them. "I thought I could have either lied to the world and pretended that me and Kiran were very happy together, and stayed married. And we could have stayed like that forever. Personally, we could have done whatever we wanted but stayed married for the world. But that would be a lie. And it would be unfair for the institution of marriage because then you would be devaluing marriage. That wasn't acceptable to me and Kiran," he said. Aamir also cracked a joke on himself, saying, he is an expert at divorces. "People often divorce each other because things turn sour, they are fighting, but that didn't happen in my case because we respected each other. We did what we felt was right and we didn't hide it," he said. "Shaadi mein main kamyab nahi hua hun, lekin divorce mein main hua hoon (I haven't been successful in marriage, but I've been successful in divorce)," said an uninhibited Aamir. Aamir was asked about his take on the institution of marriage after two divorces. He shared, "I still have the same outlook on marriage. It's a very old institution and I have the deepest regard in my heart for it. It's a very beautiful feeling when someone discovers that they want to spend the rest of their life with this person. I would want that every person gets to experience this." When asked about his views on marriage after two divorces, Aamir reaffirmed his belief in it. He described marriage as a deeply meaningful bond and expressed hope that everyone gets the chance to experience a love strong enough to build a life around. Aamir married Reena Dutta at age 21 in 1986; they divorced in 2002 and have two children, Ira and Junaid. His second marriage to Kiran Rao began in 2005 and ended in 2021. They share a son, Azad. Despite the divorces, Aamir and his family presented a united, modern image at Ira’s wedding, reflecting a blended family dynamic grounded in mutual respect. Source: NDTV

The screening of Raihan Rafi’s much-hyped Eid release ‘Taandob' was suspended in Kalihati upazila of Tangail following protests by local religious groups and growing security concerns. Expressing frustration on social media, prominent filmmaker Ashfaque Nipun condemned the incident and criticised the interim government’s failure to tackle mob-led disruptions. “Recently, the screening of ‘Taandob' in Kalihati was halted due to threats from so-called ‘Touhidi Janata’, tourist centres in Sylhet were closed, yet the Chief Adviser of the interim government remains focused on the Chattogram Port,” Nipun recently wrote in a Facebook post. “You respond swiftly to any threat to the port—when will we see such resolve against mob behaviour? Immediately reinstate ‘Taandob' screenings in Kalihati, make public places safe, and above all, stop the rise of mob dominance. As this couldn’t be done over the past 10 months, your primary responsibility over the next 10 months should be to ensure it,” Nipun wrote in the post. ‘Taandob’ is Raihan Rafi’s best film yet: Shakib Khan The film was being screened at the Zilla Parishad’s Community Centre-cum-Multipurpose Hall in the Auliabad area of Kalihati since Eid day. Local cultural organisers Kamruzzaman Saiful and Saju Mehdi arranged the screening by renting the venue for Tk 10,000 per day with official approval, paying in advance for five days. The initiative faced resistance from a section of locals, and on Friday, a protest rally was held under the banner of the Parki Union Olama Parishad, where demonstrators demanded the screening be stopped, claiming it could disrupt nearby mosques, madrasas, and educational institutions. Protesters also warned of potential “unsocial activities” centring the film’s screening, and they informed local media that they had submitted a written appeal to the administration requesting the film’s screening be halted. Explaining the critical situation, one of the organisers of the screening Kamruzzaman Saiful told local media, “We were getting a good response from viewers, but started receiving threats from various sources. Due to increasing safety concerns, we had no choice but to suspend the screenings from Tuesday evening.” Shakib Khan's 'Taandob' announced for Eid-ul-Adha 2025 The other organizer Saju Mehdi said, “We invested heavily on paying rent, repairing the AC, printing tickets, and appointing volunteers. Unfortunately from the beginning, a certain group opposed the initiative and even prevented us from putting up posters and obstructed our promotional work.” Despite several mishaps and mob attacks in various screening places across the country since the Eid day, ‘Taandob’ has been dominating the screens as expected, courtesy of its strong storyline and Dhallywood megastar Shakib Khan’s majestic performances.  

Bollywood star Aamir Khan is preparing for the release of his new film “Sitaare Zameen Par”, which will hit cinemas on June 20. The trailer has drawn attention for a scene in which Aamir’s on-screen mother calls him a “tingu”, referencing his short height. In a recent interview with Just Too Filmy, Aamir opened up about his insecurities early in his career, admitting he was once nervous about his stature. “At the beginning of my career, I was very afraid. Amit ji was number one, and he was over six feet tall. Vinod ji, Shatrughan Sinha—all were very tall. So I was nervous, thinking choti height ke actor ki kuch daal galegi ki nahi galegi (whether a short actor like me would even stand a chance). I was very concerned about that. But as it turned out, it was fine,” he shared. Amitabh Bachchan replies to troll who warned him about sleep When asked whether he is now more comfortable making light of himself—especially with the “tingu” remark in the film—Aamir responded, “Actually, Javed saab once said something about humour that I really agree with. He said a good sense of humour is not just for fun and games, but it actually comes in handy when you're going through difficulties in life.” “So if you have a good sense of humour at that time, it's like a shock absorber. I think I’ve always had that ability, and it’s a very important part of the film." Directed by RS Prasanna, “Sitaare Zameen Par” is a remake of the Spanish film “Campeones”. Aamir plays a basketball coach tasked with training a group of neurodivergent children as punishment. The film features ten debutant actors, including Aroush Datta and Simran Mangeshkar.

Akshay Kumar’s latest release Housefull 5 continues its successful run at the box office. Released on June 6 and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the comedy film has shown consistent performance, earning Rs 111.25 crore by its fourth day. According to data from industry tracker Sacnilk, the film collected an additional Rs 10.75 crore on its fifth day (May 10), bringing its total to Rs 111.25 crore. It achieved the Rs 100 crore milestone within just four days of release. On its first Tuesday, the movie recorded an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 20.66%. Night shows attracted the most viewers, with a 30.14% occupancy rate, followed by evening screenings at 22.65%, afternoon shows at 20.50%, and morning shows seeing the lowest turnout at 9.34%. Star Cast In addition to Akshay Kumar, Housefull 5 features an ensemble cast that includes Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, and Soundarya Sharma. Supporting roles are filled by several Bollywood veterans and familiar faces such as Chunky Panday, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Sanjay Dutt, Chitrangada Singh, Dino Morea, Shreyas Talpade, Johnny Lever, Fardeen Khan, Nikitin Dheer, and Ranjeet. Plot Summary The film follows a comedic murder mystery set aboard a yacht. The story kicks off with the killing of a 100-year-old billionaire, portrayed by Ranjeet, just before he is set to reveal his will. The plot thickens when three men, all named Jolly — Jalabuddin (Riteish Deshmukh), Julius (Akshay Kumar), and Jalbhushan (Abhishek Bachchan) — claim to be the rightful heir, each becoming a suspect. Housefull 5 marks the fifth entry in the popular Housefull franchise, which began in 2010.

Amidst a season brimming with high-profile releases, ‘Housefull 5’ arrives as a fresh entry that promises laughter with a twist. Released on June 6, 2025, this Akshay Kumar-starring comedy thriller adds a new flavour to the well-known franchise. As audiences and critics turn their attention to its performance and reception, all eyes are on its impact. Let’s explore how the movie measures up in both entertainment and box office numbers. A Premise with Two Different Prints Set on a lavish cruise, the story kicks off with the mysterious murder of billionaire Ranjeet Dobriyal at the hands of a masked assailant. Chaos follows, staying true to the franchise’s signature blend of slapstick humour and comic confusion. Police officers Bhidu and Baba dive into the investigation, while Julius joins forces with other passengers to uncover the truth. The suspense deepens with a twist- two alternate versions of the film, ‘Housefull 5A’ and ‘Housefull 5B’. Collectively, the story offers different killer reveals, leaving viewers guessing until the final frame. Neat Humour but Slow-Paced Storyline The movie kicks off with promise, striking a lively balance between comedy and suspense. In the first half, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and Riteish Deshmukh shine through. Their timing, expressions, and witty one-liners carry the narrative with ease. Nostalgia is woven cleverly, recalling iconic bits like ‘Prada ka beta Gucci’ and even reviving the monkey from earlier instalments, much to fans’ delight. Read more: June 2025 Bollywood Movie Lineup: Top 10 Most-Anticipated Hindi Films Adult humour finds its place too, handled with restraint and smart writing. The early segments remain crisp and engaging. But as the interval approaches, things begin to slip. The plot feels stretched. After the break, the grip loosens. Momentum fades as the screenplay struggles to manage the massive cast. The attempt to give each character a share of the spotlight leads to bloat, pushing the runtime to 165 minutes. Despite all the effort, several characters end up feeling like fillers, appearing briefly with minimal impact. Just before the twist, the pace picks up again. The twist lands well, and Bobby Deol’s late appearance injects some freshness. A smart reveal involving Abhishek Bachchan adds to the intrigue. The climax manages to be both unexpected and amusing. The franchise’s usual tone, fun beyond logic, remains intact, though this time a touch of logic joins the party. Still, the overstuffed cast and excessive length dilute the overall experience. If the pre-climax stretch had been tighter, the film could have truly lived up to the makers’ tall claims. A Huge Star-Studded Cast in the Lead With a staggering ensemble of 17 lead actors, ‘Housefull 5’ carries a weighty cast. Yet, it is Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff who leave the strongest impression. Both are offered well-crafted scenes and deliver them with seasoned flair. Akshay maintains his dominance with effortless humour, driven largely by his eccentric expressions. Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan also make their presence felt through sharp comic timing. Read more: Judwaa: A Pakistani Drama about Twin Sisters Becomes Internet Obsession The female leads – Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, and Jacqueline Fernandez – serve primarily as visual highlights. While they contribute a few amusing moments in the first half, their roles gradually fade as the narrative progresses. Their impact remains confined to their glamour appeal. Among the supporting cast, Johnny Lever stands out as the sole performer with well-written scenes and effective punchlines. Others, including Fardeen Khan, Dino Morea, Shreyas Talpade, Nikitin Dheer, Chitrangada Singh, and Chunky Pandey, are largely under-utilised. Shreyas Talpade is nearly invisible. Fardeen Khan manages a few decent moments, though without lasting effect. Nana Patekar’s cameo is a clear standout. His entry is impactful, commanding attention despite limited screen time. Even in a serious tone, he introduces a fresh layer of humour. Bobby Deol, appearing towards the end, adds an unexpected twist to close the character lineup. Music, Screenplay, and Direction Sajid Nadiadwala handles the story and screenplay, while Tarun Mansukhani takes charge of direction. Their collaboration shows strength in the first half, maintaining a light, engaging rhythm. However, the second half struggles with consistency. Read more: Eid-ul-Azha 2025 Bengali TV Drama Preview: Top Upcoming Bangladeshi Natoks Set to Spark the Festival Balancing a murder mystery within a comic framework proves challenging. The narrative loses its grip as it tries to manage both genres. Music, a trademark of the ‘Housefull’ series, falls short this time. Unlike past chart-toppers like ‘Aapka Kya Hoga (Dhanno)’ or, ‘Anarkali Disco Chali’ only ‘Laal Pari’ leaves a lasting impression. The remaining tracks are enjoyable but forgettable. Box Office Earnings: Akshay’s Historical Achievement Backed by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, ‘Housefull 5’ was made on a budget of Rs 225 crore. It opened with a robust global earning of Rs 37.25 crore, securing the third-highest opening for a Bollywood film in 2025. Over the first weekend, the film collected between Rs 130.50 crore and Rs 131.50 crore worldwide. The figure surpasses ‘Sooryavanshi’ (Rs 118 crore) to mark Akshay Kumar’s biggest weekend yet. Within four days, the comedy thriller entered the Rs 100 crore club domestically. After drawing Rs 32.5 crore on Sunday, it maintained momentum with Rs 13.5 crore on Monday, taking the total India box office tally to Rs 101 crore.

This milestone marks Akshay’s 28th film to do so, further strengthening his overseas track record. According to trade analyst Nishit Shaw, Akshay stands just behind Shah Rukh Khan in the million-dollar club rankings. While Shah Rukh leads with 32 films, Akshay holds second with 28, edging past Salman Khan, who has 25 films on the list. Verdict Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Housefull 5’ features two alternate versions, subtitled 5A and 5B. Though the film delivers neat humour, it suffers from a sluggish story pace. The amazing blend of comedy and thriller boasts a massive star-studded ensemble in this film. However, not all are meaningfully utilised. Despite narrative flaws, the Nadiadwala production has struck gold at the box office, crossing INR 100 crore domestically and USD 1 million in North America. Marking Akshay’s 28th entry in the million-dollar club, the movie stands as both a significant highlight in his career and a gem for Indian cinema.
