Bollywood Strike Finally Ends

The two month old fight between the Bollywood producers and multiplex owners over revenue sharing has finally come to an end. The two parties reached a deal in Mumbai late last night. The parties had been at each other's throats for over two months after the producers had demanded for 50:50 revenue sharing from the multiplex owners. The request was rejected by the multiplex owners and the producers in turn did not screen any new movie in the multiplexes since April 4. This meant only small budget movies released at single screens denying the cine goers of entertainment during their summer vacation.

The meeting between the two parties was held at the Yash Raj Studios and lasted for close to 12 hours. President of the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) Mukesh Bhatt confirmed the news and said movies will start screening at the multiplex form July 12 onwards. The final settlement that has been reached between the two parties is 50, 42, 35 and 30 percent for the first, second, third and fourth week respectively for all movies and 52, 45, 38 and 30 percent respectively for all blockbuster movies that manage to collect more than Rs.17.5 crores.

The strike also saw Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan come on a common platform and pledge their support to the producers and distributors. The end of the strike will be a welcome relief for the industry as 2009 has been a disastrous year so far with no money spinner yet with almost half the year gone. Vashu Bhagnani's 'Kal Kissne Dekha' and Mithun Chakraborty's 'Zor Laga Ke Haiya' will hit the theatres next week as this strike finally concludes. Now the Hindi industry can finally have a sigh of relief!

So Desi Hits! viewers, are you glad that the Bollywood strike has finally come to a close? What movie(s) are you looking forward to see next week? Send us your opinions.

Lekha Washington - Silambarasan your comments please?

Time the prime teacher of the world. If one time favors their efforts, they become big shot and If Time doesn't favors they become washed out. This philosophy suits for any Industry and business.

The ex-VJ of SS Music TV Channel Lekha Washington becomes Tamil Cinema Actress when she met Silambarasan. Silambarasan has started the “Kettavan” project with lekha Washington as heroine. After 60% of shooting is over and all music was released, Silambarasan was not satisfied with Lekha Washington performance. Kettavan project is in plunge stage. Silambarasan shifted to his next project “Silambattam” and Lekha Washington names as un-lucky actress till recently up to Jayam kondan release.

Satya Jothi movies production and Maniratnam assistant B Kannan directed “Jayam kondan” has one of the Hit movie of this year which “Unnale Unnale” fame Vinay acted as hero and Bhavana acted as heroine. Lekha Washington acted in important role (Vinay rai sister). Compare with Bhavana and sarika mohan, Lekha Washington acting performance has won her accolades. Lekha Washington now signed for next project Rakkozhi under Pushkar Gayathri direction with young hero Jey.



Lekha Washington in mean time trying to accumulate Bollywood chances too. The part of Maharastrian, part Italian and Par Burmese girl and qualified film maker from NID Ahmadabad definitely get chances in Bollywood too.

Time keeps changing, if you underestimate anyone they become success when their time is working. So, don’t underestimate and don’t name as “non-performance”. Silambarasan need to learn this fact at least from lekha success.
