Bombay High Court rules in favour of IMAX in decades-long dispute with E-City; clears execution of $28+ million awards; imposes Rs. 5 lakh costs

IMAX Corporation has achieved victory in the Bombay High Court in a decades-long contract dispute with E-City Entertainment, for awards now amounting to more than $28 million USD with accumulated interest. On December 30, 2025, the Bombay High Court ruled in IMAX’s favour on all issues in an enforcement proceeding that IMAX has been prosecuting for nearly 18 years, holding that arbitration awards issued in IMAX’s favour between 2006 and 2008 “shall now be deemed to be the decrees of the court and executable”. The arbitration stemmed from a disagreement over a September 2000 contract to lease six IMAX systems to E-City, the former operator of cinema and entertainment brands Fun Cinemas and Fun Republic, and an affiliate of the Essel Group, headed by Subhash Chandra, and Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. E-City agreed to open a minimum of six IMAX locations in India, but subsequently reneged on that agreement. In its ruling, the High Court wrote, “E-City has managed to keep IMAX at b...

Rajkumar Hirani-Aamir Khan’s Dadasaheb Phalke biopic to go on floors in March 2026 after script revisions: Report

Aamir Khan and filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani’s much-anticipated Dadasaheb Phalke biopic has seen a shift in its production timeline. While the project was earlier expected to go on floors in January 2026, the makers are now planning to begin filming in late March 2026. In September 2025, Mid-Day had reported that the film was gearing up to roll early next year, with Khan reportedly moved to tears while revisiting key moments from Phalke’s life. However, plans have since changed as the actor-director duo have decided to further refine the screenplay before taking the film on set. According to industry insiders, a fresh draft of the script is currently being developed, one that aligns with both Hirani and Khan’s creative vision while doing justice to the journey of Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, widely regarded as the Father of Indian cinema. The intent, sources say, is to ensure that the narrative resonates with contemporary audiences without compromising on historical authenticity. A source t...

Saif Ali Khan wins legal battle as Bhopal Court dismisses claim against actor’s 16.62-acre Nayapura land: Reports

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan and his family have secured a major legal victory after a Bhopal court upheld their ownership of a 16.62-acre parcel of land in the city’s Nayapura area, dismissing a long-running dispute challenging their claim. The judgment brings a favourable outcome to what has been a protracted legal battle over property historically linked to the family of the former ruling elite of Bhopal. Reportedly, the civil suit challenged the ownership rights of the land, with petitioners claiming entitlement based on historical transactions. However, the local court found that the challengers had not provided sufficient evidence to substantiate their claims and ruled in favour of Saif Ali Khan, his mother Sharmila Tagore, sister Soha Ali Khan, and other legal heirs of the Pataudi family. As a result, the court dismissed the suit and reaffirmed the family’s legal ownership of the valuable property. The Nayapura land, which has been under dispute for years, holds significance ...
