The Kerala Story as expected took an excellent opening and is one of those 1% films that are 'hit' on the opening day itself! Of course, a section of media with vested interest or calling it the know-all of box-office will attribute the success to propaganda, just like they did in, The Kashmir Files. The fact is, in India, propaganda films don't work else all political films released every year would have been hits or blockbusters.
Counter this with the BO show of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, the no-show film, scared the makers of Jawaan enough to resched the release to August 25. While many are speculating it is the time needed to market the film full-throttle. Many have reported, the film is being reshot and they are getting Deepika for an extended cameo, Shahrukh's lucky charm. There are few numerologists that are touting since Pathan released on the date 25, Shahrukh is releasing Jawaan on the date 25 again!

Reports are rife that she is really trying hard to get lead in Housefull 5!
Meanwhile Sonam Kapoor Ahuja's brazen blazer look without anything underneath was supposed to be hot, but fizzled with a whimper.
