Over Rs 2 cr for Bareilly Ki Barfi
Bareilly Ki Barfi, starring Kriti Sanon, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao, opened on a sweet note by collecting over Rs 2 crore on its first day at the box office.
Backed by positive word-of-mouth, the entertainer earned Rs 2.42 crore on Friday, read a statement issued on behalf of the film's team.
This is the first time Kriti, Ayushmann and Rajkummar have worked together.
Kriti had earlier said, “Since they come from a theatre background, their approach towards a character is quite similar and that helped me to enhance my performance; because acting is also about reacting to your co-actors.”
‘My focus is on creating remarkable content, I'm not very fixated on the medium. Television becomes a part of the viewer's day-to-day life, while a film is a one-time experience. In terms of reach, TV is bigger, but the impact of films is definitely greater.’

Schwahn up for One Tree Hill film
Mark Schwahn, creator of one of the most popular American teen dramas, One Tree Hill, says he will absolutely turn the TV show into a film if its cast is willing to do it.
long before One Tree Hill burst on to the small screen in 2003, Schwahn, also a writer, director and producer, had plans to make it a proper film. But that project never took off.
“I always say that the fortunate thing about One Tree Hill is that the actors have gone on and done other things, and most of them are working. I've always said from Day One that the show will be significant to me,” he said.
