Ahoy, Bollywood buffs! Just when you thought Diwali would bring you nothing but firecrackers and mithai, it seems the filmi duniya has thrown a twist into the tale. Our beloved Ajay Devgn and Kartik Aaryan are gearing up for a box office showdown with "Singham Again" and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3", yet Saudi Arabia has decided to play the villain in this blockbuster drama. Kyun? Let’s dive into the masala!🎬
Saudi Arabia’s Cinema Drama: Banning Spree Alert!
Picture this: Two much-awaited films all set for their grand Diwali release, but alas, not a sliver of screen time in Saudi Arabia! It seems the Middle-Eastern censor board has donned its strict avatar, waving its no-no finger at anything remotely religiously sensitive or, ahem, a tad too bold for local tastes. 😅
Reports suggest "Singham Again" faced the axe due to its depiction of "religious conflict," while "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3" got the boot over "homosexual references." Arrey bhai, kya bolen ab? But fret not, the rest of the UAE is all set to enjoy these cinematic delights.
Singham Again: The Ramayan Reboot?
Now, let’s talk "Singham Again," the third in the cop series. Ajay Devgn returns as our fearless DCP Bajirao Singham, embarking on a saga that echoes the epic Ramayan. Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Ranveer Singh join the fray, each channeling characters with divine parallels. Here’s a tip: Keep an eye out for that elusive Salman cameo. Who knows when "Chulbul Pandey" might pop in for a surprise! 😉
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: Double Trouble with Manjulika!
Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri take us back to the haunted corridors of "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3," but this time, it’s double the ghostly fun with Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit as two Manjulikas. Talk about a twist! With veterans like Rajpal Yadav and Vijay Raaz on board, it’s bound to be a laughter riot (with a few chills, of course)!
Both films are set to light up the screens on November 1, just not in Saudi Arabia.
Kiran’s Gyan: In Bollywood, it’s all about the drama, whether on-screen or off it. Ab kya karein, when life gives you bans, serve them with a side of popcorn! After all, controversy bhi toh ek tarika hai to keep the buzz alive, hai na? 😜
