What March 2023 Delivered for Bollywood Fans

March was a busy month for Indian cinema, and CineSpace India kept track of every buzz. From fresh releases to surprise box‑office wins, here’s the low‑down you needed to stay in the loop.

Must‑Watch Movies That Hit Theatres

First up, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar opened on March 8. The Ranbir‑Katrina combo drew crowds with its light‑hearted romance and catchy songs. Our reviewers gave it a solid 3.5‑star rating, saying the chemistry felt natural and the comedy landed most of the time.

On the regional front, the Kannada‑Malayalam crossover Kantara premiered on March 31 and quickly became a talking point. Even if you’re not a fan of folk‑drama, the film’s strong visuals and raw performances made it a must‑see. Box‑office numbers showed a three‑day gross of over ₹150 crore, proving that word‑of‑mouth can still drive huge crowds.

Don’t miss the surprise hit Gadar 2 (released late March in limited screens). Though the sequel was expected to flop, fans flocked to see Sunny Deol’s return, and the opening day broke the regional record for Hindi‑action dramas.

Big News, Rumors, and Behind‑The‑Scenes Moments

While movies rolled out, the gossip mill kept turning. Early March, rumors swirled that Ranveer Singh was eyeing a role opposite Alia Bhatt in a new romantic thriller. Though the studio denied the pairing, insiders hinted at a possible collaboration later in the year.

Meanwhile, the film‑fare industry faced a serious safety debate after a stunt accident on the set of a high‑budget action film. CineSpace’s exclusive interview with the stunt coordinator shed light on new safety protocols that are now being mandated across Bollywood studios.

Fans also got a glimpse behind the camera for Jab Poonam Mere​ Keh Mare, a music video that went viral for its quirky choreography. In our behind‑the‑scenes piece, choreographer Shahid Kapoor (yes, the actor turned choreographer) explained how they mixed traditional moves with TikTok trends to attract younger viewers.

Social media trends were another highlight. The hashtag #BollywoodDanceChallenge blew up after a popular meme from the song “Bhaag Gayi Mamu” went viral. Celebrities joined in, and the challenge added millions of views to the official video within a week.

Finally, awards season kicked off with the Filmfare Awards 2023 nominations being announced in late March. Our poll showed that fans overwhelmingly backed ‘Pathaan’ for Best Action, even though the film released the previous year. It shows how a strong fan base can keep a movie alive long after its release.

All in all, March 2023 gave us a mix of blockbuster thrillers, heartfelt romances, and plenty of industry talk. Keep checking CineSpace India for deeper reviews, exclusive interviews, and the next wave of Bollywood news.
