#2019recap: From Priyanka Chopra's MET Gala look to Bollywood's selfie with PM Modi, moments that stormed the internet

A much eventful year comes to an end. 2019 was full of pleasant and disappointing cinematic experiences, achievements and controversies, among other newsworthy developments. As we head towards a brand new year, we looked back at some of the most viral moments and photos from Bollywood that took the internet by storm. Check out below! Bollywood's iconic selfie with PM Narendra Modi A bunch of A-listers from Bollywood flew to New Delhi to discuss the role of cinema in the building of the nation.

5 Bollywood Weddings In 2020

2019 was the year of heart-breaking no big splashy weddings in Bollywood in 2019. In the coming year we hope to see some high-profile couples tie the knot in lavish extensively covered weddings. Here’s assessing the marriage potential of 5 in-the-news couples. 1.  Malaika Arora-Arjun Kapoor : No wedding plans for this just-happy-to-be-together couple for various reasons. While Malaika has her hands full of her responsibilities as a single mother (which she would not want to share with anyone else) Arjun’s sister Anshula must be married before he thinks of his own. Hence in 2020, this forever-clicked couple would just be happy being a couple. Any problems with that? 2. Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor : The cynics didn’t give this relationship for more than six months. His commitment-phobic record spoke for itself. But Ranbir has grown older and wiser. He is not the same heartbreaker who dated and...

Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek reveals how playing Freddie Mercury influenced him in James Bond - No Time To Die

2019 was a phenomenal year for Rami Malek who starred as Queen singer, late Freddie Mercury, in Bohemian Rhapsody. While his performance was highly applauded by the critics, he is moving ahead with yet another interesting role and this time as a villain in James Bond: No Time To Die.  This will be the final installment for Daniel Craig who takes on the 007 role for the last time. Speaking about his villainous role Safin in the upcoming Bond film, Rami Malek revealed how Bohemian Rhapsody taught him to avoid being a carbon copy while prepping for the role. “If I went in there and tried to make a carbon copy of someone, what joy or fun would that be for anybody? I guess that may be a lesson I learned from Mr. Mercury,” he told Empire Magazine. “If it’s not original, then why bother? I’ve pocketed some things from some of my favourites. But I tried to every day imbue this character with something I thought made sense for the character, but might also at the same ti...

From being an engineer to one of the most popular actors of the tinsel town right now, Kriti Sanon has come a long way. Nothing happens without persistence, patience and continued efforts, and she put all three plentifully. As we bid adieu to 2019, an emotional Kriti shared with us how this decade brought so many changes in her life and put her in a place she wanted to be. "In 2010, I realized that i wanted to act.. from being an engineer to a model to finally stepping into the world of my dreams as an actor! This decade has been soooo special- A decade of “dreams coming true”..A decade of self discovery, of finding my calling, figuring my craft and above all.. Following my heart ❤️ .. I learned so much, got over some of my fears, opened up as a person, broadened my perspective, realized my wings, made amazing friends, fell in love, went through a heartbreak, moved on much stronger, worked my ass off and absolutely loved and lived every bit of it," she writes.   ...

Bigg Boss 13: Rashami Desai breaks down ahead of Arhaan Khan's eviction

Basically, Bigg Boss 13 has been quite an unpredictable ride so far. The latest to get evicted from the house is Arhaan Khan, whose romance with Rashami Desai made quite a lot of news. While everyone dropped hints on how Arhaan might not be the right guy for Rashami and host Salman Khan busted some serious facts about his personal life, Rashami seemed to give two hoots and stuck to Arhaan. A day back, however, Salman announced that one among Arhaan, Shefali Bagga and Madhurima Tuli would be evicted since they were at the bottom. This got Rashami emotional and the two could be seen at the confession room while she hugged Arhaan and broke down in tears. She is also seen telling him how she was feeling heavy from inside. Such emotions are infectious and Arhaan is also seen hugging her back, looking all emotional. Soon after his eviction, Arhaan also slammed the show in an interview and said that his past was unnecessarily dug up. Salman had earlier shockingly revealed that Arhaan is a ...

#2019Recap: Salman’s supremacy, Akshay’s dominance, rise of Hrithik, Shahid, Vicky – a look at the notable box office trends

Another year has ended but this one was different. It had too many twists and turns. Several films that were not expected to work or were to be average grossers became huge hits. On the other hand, a few films that could have easily been biggest grossers of the year, underperformed. In this Bollywood Hungama Special Feature, we take a look at sixteen interesting trends of the ticket window in 2019: 1. Underperforming year for Salman Khan Salman Khan had two films, both of which failed to really impress the audiences. His Eid release, Bharat , was met with mixed response, which affected its overall box office outcome (Rs 194 crore). His Christmas offing, Dabangg 3 , was poorer and has failed to reach even the Rs. 150 crore mark. 2. Even underperforming films of Salman Khan go over Rs. 100 crore Despite Bharat, Dabangg 3 and even 2018’s Race 3 not doing well, Salman Khan is still a force to reckon with. Even if his films don’t impress, they still manage to cross the Rs. 100 cror...
