The Dirty Picture fails to beat Rockstar

Director Milan Luthira's latest Bollywood movie The Dirty Picture has beaten the film Desi Boyz on the opening day at the Box Office. But the film has failed to break the record of the movie Rockstar, which has collected Rs 33.75 net at the collection centres in the first weekend. Vidya Balan starrer has raked in Rs 32.25 crore net in the first three days.
The Dirty Picture received an exceptional opening at the Box Office by taking its collection to Rs 9.54 crore on Friday. The movie improved its business further on the following days. It collected Rs 10.78 crore on Saturday and Rs 12 crore on Sunday. The film is expected to do well on Tuesday as it is a national holiday due to muharram.
Girish Johar, head of distribution, Balaji Motion Pictures, told, "The response is fantabulous. We are doing well in A, B, C centres. It's holding on, it is not a one day wonder.” He added, "We released the film on 1,766 screens, but the response is such that we are adding 30 to 40 screens. Even multiplexes are increasing the screening of the film."

SOUTH AFRICAN TV GOES PORN

South African TV screens will become that much steamier in January, and it has nothing to do with the heat wave.

Next month, locals can catch a new 24-hour sex channel on satellite TV, which will broadcast hardcore pornography aimed at heterosexual viewers. The channel’s content will be broadcast on the Astra 4A satellite – the same system employed by TopTV.

While a similar idea was previously shot down by broadcasting stakeholders and certain sections of the public, this new French channel is being broadcast from outside our borders. According to John Solomon of African Satellite Installations, that means it’s outside the jurisdiction of South African broadcasters.

ASI will hire out the special decoders and smartcards needed to view the channel for R99 per month. The decoders are only for hire, and one needs to be an existing TopTV subscriber to access the content. Porn Satellite TV – or PSat – is however, not affiliated in any way with TopTV.

"PSat is totally independent of other satellite channels and you will need a special decoder, smartcard and a satellite dish to view the channel," Solomon told Media24.

"All you have to do is unplug your TopTV decoder and replace it with the PSat decoder."
