The synopsis teases: “From the sudden death of the town’s beloved mayor – the nicest man in Marlow – to a celebrity chef found dead at the launch of his cookbook with half the town in attendance, the team will be working under the watchful eye of the Marlow community.

Sidharth Malhotra And Janhvi Kapoor’s Param Sundari Sees Drastic Drop: Rs 75 Lakh Collection On Day 11 | Glamsham.com

Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s romance Param Sundari is going strong at the box office, even though there was a visible decline in collections in its second week. The movie has fetched mixed-to-positive reviews from both critics and audience, with several appreciating the chemistry of the lead pair but complaining about the pre-predictability of the plot.

Steady Collections Amidst Mixed Reviews

Following its good opening weekend, Param Sundari opened well by earning ₹26.75 crore in the first three days. On Friday, 29 August, it earned ₹7.25 crore, ₹9.25 crore on Saturday, and ₹10.25 crore on Sunday. After its first week, the film had earned around ₹39 crore from the Indian box office.

Even after starting its second week on a strong note, the film saw the daily collections dipping. The movie made ₹1.75 crore on Day 8, then ₹2 crore on Day 9. There was a marginal improvement on Sunday with ₹2.5 crore, taking the 11-day tally to ₹46.75 crore. Monday, however, witnessed the lowest single-day collection till date, with only ₹75 lakh.

Confronting Stiff Competition in Week 2

The film’s second-week performance has been impacted by the release of other high-profile films, including Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 2 and Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files. These new releases have split audience attention, making it harder for Param Sundari to maintain its early pace. Still, with a few more days to go before the weekend, the film is expected to cross the ₹50 crore mark soon.

Plot Overview and Cast Details

Param Sundari is the tale of Param (Sidharth Malhotra), a successful Delhi businessman who invests in start-ups. His newest start-up, an AI-based dating app called Soulmates, introduces him to Sundari (Janhvi Kapoor), a culturally connected girl from Kerala who manages a traditional homestay with her uncle, a Kalari Payattu master.

The movie delves into the conflict between modernity and tradition as Param and Sundari reconcile their dissimilarities through a warm and comical tale. Inayat Verma, Sanjay Kapoor, and Manjot Singh play the supporting characters, lending charm and nuance to the movie.

Conclusion

While Param Sundari has struggled to maintain its box office strength, the movie’s emotional plot, lively performances, and cross-cultural appeal keep it bringing in crowds, leading it to reach the ₹50 crore mark in its sales.

'Black-ish' Producer's Sitcom Set in Wildfire-Devastated L.A. Sees Ire

‘Black-ish’ Producer’s Sitcom Set in Wildfire-Devastated L.A. Sees Ire

by jummy84
written by jummy84

A CBS sitcom in development from Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and comic Mike Epps is experiencing online backlash since it was announced, as it’s set against the backdrop of the wildfire-devastated area of Altadena, where residents are still reeling from this January’s deadly and destructive wildfires.

The project — which is in its early stages and has no cast attached beyond Epps, nor any on-air commitment from CBS — would follow two brothers who move in with their late grandmother’s caretaker when their plans fall apart as they try to sell her property in Altadena, an area of L.A. that saw major devastation in January’s deadly Eaton fire; that blaze, one of several over a few weeks in January across L.A., killed at least 19 people and destroyed over 9,000 structures. It would mark a return to broadcast TV for BET Studios principal Barris, who has focused on cable and streaming properties since Black-ish ended its run on ABC in 2022.

On Jan. 7, a Santa Ana wind event pushed very dry winds through Southern California’s mountains. Peak gusts were said to have reached 90 mph, and it’s believed they led a transmission line to become re-energized, igniting the fire that rapidly pushed into foothill communities — particularly Altadena. The fire spread to 14,000 acres by Jan. 10 and caused mass destruction, nearly wiping out Altadena’s downtown area. Residents looking to rebuild are now competing with their wealthy neighbors across L.A. also impacted by the eight blazes that torched the city that month as they fend off disaster capitalist land developers looking to scoop up land from the minority-heavy community.

The situation might not feel ripe for comedy hijinks as many in Altadena continue to struggle nine months after the deadly devastation. Since the development was announced via Deadline, some have expressed trepidation and disgust, while others hope that the show finds an appropriate balance of levity and pathos. The debate was ignited instantly in the announcement story’s comments section and spread across the web as many decried the premise of the show and expressed disdain around the idea of a sitcom using a tragedy and uphill recovery battle as fodder for laughs.

“Funny or too soon?” journalist and KBLA radio host James Farr wrote while posting about the series on Instagram, sparking debate in L.A. among his followers.

“Love them both but there’s not anything funny happening. I’m sure they’ll deliver intellectual humor with plenty of ‘message’ as a through line. However, I don’t know how I feel about it,” Farr said when asked about the in development show. “Great for keeping Altadena in the national conversation though.”

Comments on Farr’s post ran from outrage (“Way too soon!!”) to cautious hope. An Instagram user named Alegria Castro summed up sentiment on both sides of the debate, writing: “If it’s going to benefit the community of Altadena and the rebuild — Then it’s great! If not, too soon.”

A communications spokesperson for Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who represents the 5th district of L.A. County, even weighed in to The Orange County Register, saying that they’d heard from constituents about the show and, “the majority have voiced feeling hurt this is in the works. The loss they’ve felt due to the Eaton fire feels still very raw for many.”

Barris’s Instagram post announcing the show’s development and premise also irked many of his followers. The showrunner defended himself and the project in response to one user’s criticism.

“What way could you think of supporting it then by doing what I know how to do and trying to bring a light to a place that many have already forgotten,” Barris commented. “I understand your fear but know that I only plan to do the best I can to make sure the world sees you.”

The romantic drama Param Sundari, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, has had a spectacular first week at the box office. The film opened modestly on Friday but gained momentum over the weekend, creating record-breaking trends in romantic dramas for 2025. The film had crossed the very coveted ₹30 crore mark in India within the sixth day, which signifies steady interest from the audience.

Day-Wise Collection Breakdown
According to a Sacnilk report, Param Sundari collected approx. ₹0.16 crore on Wednesday (Day 6), thus taking its overall domestic net collection to ₹34.41 crore. And here’s the breakup of the collections day-wise in detail:
Day 1 (Friday): ₹7.25 crore
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹9.25 crore
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹10.25 crore
Day 4 (Monday): ₹3.25 crore
Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹4.25 crore
Day 6 (Wednesday): ₹0.16 crore (approx.)
Total (6 Days): ₹34.41 crore

The weekend box office hauls raked in massive sums coupled with a strong hold over the weekdays have turned the film into one of the year’s biggest romantic dramas.

Story and Setting
As per IMDb, the film is set amidst Kerala’s scenic backwaters, where a North Indian male and a South Indian female fall in love after they meet. Pandemonium, humor, and passionate emotional moments erupt from cultural differences, culminating in a rich intercultural romance.

Cast and Crew
Guided as an emotional but fun entertainer, Param Sundari features Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in the central roles. Sanjay Kapoor, Inayat Verma, Manjot Singh, Aakash Dahiya, Rajeev Khandelwal, Karamveer Choudhary, and Nandan Thampi form the supporting cast and support the hectic story of the film.

With its good story and able performances, Param Sundari can quite comfortably hold decent collections in its second week as well.

Glen Powell in Chad Powers

‘Chad Powers’ Trailer Sees Glen Powell Go Undercover as a QB

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Glen Powell is unrecognizable in the first full-length trailer for his new Hulu comedy Chad Powers. Powell formally debuted the trailer Saturday on ESPN’s College GameDay.

Produced by former star NFL quarterbacks (and current ESPN personalities) Eli and Peyton Manning, Chad Powers sees Powell playing Russ Holliday, a hotshot quarterback who destroyed his playing career after making an unforgivable, vanity-driven mistake in a college football championship game.

Eight years later, he seeks redemption, under heavy makeup and prosthetics and under the pseudonym, Chad Powers.

“South Georgia is having open tryouts? I am going to do a Mrs. Doubtfire, but with football,” Powell says at one point in the trailer (below).

Chad Powers debuts on Hulu Sep. 30 with two episodes. New episodes will stream on Tuesdays for the subsequent four weeks.

The show can trace its origin to a sketch that starred Eli Manning in 2022, in which he put on prosthetics and attended an open tryout at Penn State, with a camera crew capturing the disbelief from other players and attendees.

Eli Manning and Powell spoke to The Hollywood Reporter for this week’s cover story about making the show.

“What made Eli’s thing so magical is the viewer knew Eli Manning was under [the disguise]. So, let’s use the lie at the center of this thing, which creates inherent fun conflict over the course of the series,” Powell told THR. “We were like, ‘OK, we’re going to Tootsie this thing. Let’s Mrs. Doubtfire it, and let’s see how far we can take this lie.’ “

EManning serves as executive producer along with Omaha Productions’ Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown and ESPN’s Burke Magnus, Brian Lockhart, Kati Fernandez. Waldron and Adam Fasullo are executive producing for Anomaly Pictures. Luvh Rakhe will executive produce and Tony Yacenda will serve as director and executive producer. The series stars Powell, who is also co-creating, co-writing and executive producing under his production co-banner Barnstorm Productions.

Sam Claflin plays Joel Lazarus, a forensic psychologist investigating his father’s suicide, only to become entangled in a slew of cold case murders, in the first look images for Harlan Coben’s Lazarus for Amazon’s Prime Video released on Wednesday.

The limited series, which sees the team behind Netflix’s hit Fool Me Once reunite, is based on an original idea from prolific author Harlan Coben and Danny Brocklehurst, who wrote the drama together. The series is Coben’s second at Prime Video after his first, Shelter, was canceled. In addition to Fool Me Once, Coben and Brocklehurst previously worked together on Stay Close and The Stranger at Netflix.

All six episodes of Harlan Coben’s Lazarus will debut Oct. 22 on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide. Bill Nighy plays Dr. Jonathan Lazarus, father of Claflin’s character, Lazarus, who begins to have disturbing experiences that cannot be explained as he quickly becomes ensnared in solving a series of cold-case murders.

That forces Lazarus to grapple with the mystery of his father’s death and his sister’s murder 25 years earlier. Additional cast includes Alexandra Roach as Jenna Lazarus, David Fynn as Seth McGovern, Karla Crome as Bella Catton, and Kate Ashfield as Detective Alison Brown.
