Avengers: Endgame shattered many box office records

Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame made a grand release and smashed worldwide box office records. Reportedly, the superhero flick collected over $304 million with a huge chunk of its earnings coming from China. Avengers: Endgame was screened in 46 countries across the world. Moreover, it surpassed the box office collection of Marvel Studios’ previous venture Avengers: Infinity War, which collected over $ 204.8 internationally.

 

Are Deepika Padukone and Amrita Rao related?

The previous year, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh attended a wedding in Mumbai and their photos went viral on social media. In one of the pictures, Padukone was exchanging pleasantries with Amrita Rao at the same event. It took the internet by storm as netizens wondered if both the actors are related. Take a look at their photo.

Netizens boycotted Veere Di Wedding 

Around this time, the makers of Veere Di Wedding launched its trailer the previous year. However, social media users were not happy with Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Swara Bhasker’s take on Kathua rape case and thought the actors' outrage against the incident was ‘selective’. Earlier, Veere Di Wedding co-stars joined a campaign and demanded justice for the rape victim. However, netizens slammed and called their move to be hypocritical and called it a ploy to promote their new venture. Take a look at their tweets.
