Vashu Bhagnani challenges closure report in FIR against Ali Abbas Zafar over Bade Miyan Chote Miyan dispute The Mumbai Police have filed a closure report before the Bandra Magistrate court in connection with filmmaker Vashu Bhagnani’s FIR against director Ali Abbas Zafar, executive producer Himanshu Mehra and financial officer Ekesh Ranadive.

EXCLUSIVE: Ameena all set to complete 100 weeks in a Mumbai multiplex; the curious case behind its 'run' There was a time when it was not unusual for films to complete 50 or 100 weeks in cinemas. But as times passed and due to the shift in business models, increase in number of screens and rise of OTT platforms, it’s a feat even for a film to run for 50 days on the big screen. Hence, it’ll be a surprise for moviegoers to learn that a small-budget film, Ameena, is about to complete 100 weeks in theatres. Ameena was released on April 12, 2024, that is, in the same week as Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan.

Meanwhile, Ameena is running non-stop at Mumbai’s extremely popular MovieTime Hub multiplex in the morning show. At present, it is running in its 99th week; on Friday, March 6, it’ll complete 100 weeks and thus create history.
