Bones and All, which reunites Timothée Chalamet with his Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino, received a 8.5-minute standing ovation, the longest and most enthusiastic of the festival so far. Bones and All is based on the novel of the same name by Camille DeAngelis and writer David Kajganich adapted the script. The film tells the story of “Maren (Russell) and Lee (Chalamet), two unlikely companions who unite in America’s Midwest in the 1980s after Maren is abandoned by her father.”

According to Deadline, the Timothée Chalamet-Taylor Russell starrer from Luca Guadagnino received a 10-minute standing ovation after its world premiere screening this evening. The audience cheered with shouts of “Luca! Luca! Luca!” — a reaction that delayed the beginning of the evening’s next competition film.

“As they make their way across the country, their shared compulsion to feast on human flesh and their struggle to reconcile the immorality of their desire forces them into society’s margins, destined to deal with the consequences of their true selves for the rest of their lives.” The supporting cast includes Mark Rylance, Michael Stuhlbarg, Andra Holland, Jessica Harper, Chloe Sevigny, Francesca Scorsese and David Gordon Green.

Bones and All is set for release in theaters on November 23.

The promotional event of Brahmastra, held at a five-star hotel in Hyderabad, was highly memorable. Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Karan Johar, S S Rajamouli and others were present with RRR actor Jr NTR being the chief guest.

Lead actress Alia Bhatt is pregnant and Karan remarked, “It feels like Alia is delivering two babies this year!” A pleasant surprise at the event was that Alia Bhatt was looking cute in a pink traditional wear. She turned her back to the audience and showed that her dress mentioned, “Baby on board.”

Alia Bhatt was then given the microphone and she asked media to clap for director Ayan Mukerji. Ranbir Kapoor, at this point, joked that since everyone is remembering Ayan, he must be having hiccups back in Mumbai. Alia said, “Ayan must be really hiccup-ing since the last one hour!” She laughed in her trademark style and then talked about Jr NTR.

She said, “All of you love Tarak, of course. He’s a mega star. But today, coming out and supporting Brahmastra, proves that he has a mega heart!”

Alia Bhatt then won hearts as she sang the Telugu version of Brahmastra‘s super-hit song, ‘Kesariya’, to which, Ranbir Kapoor was seen smiling ear-to-ear.

Filmmaker and producer of the film Karan Johar also spoke at the event, and praised all present on stage. He first praised Mouni Roy, who plays the antagonist in the film. Mouni shared how much she enjoyed working on this film. She thanked Karan Johar. Johar then remembered Amitabh Bachchan, who plays a supporting role in Brahmastra, “We were blessed to have Mr Amitabh Bachchan lead our cast. Ayan said that actors in every other role was replaceable. But there was one role that was not – the role of the Guru.”

He then revealed, “I learnt some Telugu lines for this event. I took tuitions.” Alia chipped in, “He took three days (to learn).” At this, Ranbir replied, “Don’t say that. If I goof up, people would be like, ‘teen din mein yeh seekha isne!”

Karan Johar revealed, “Ranbir was feeling very shy to say it. But then Rajamouli ordered him to say it!”

Ranbir Kapoor then added, “Please don’t mind if I make a mistake.” He finally gave his speech and he passed out with flying colours. S S Rajamouli hugged Ranbir while Alia gave him a flying kiss.

The audience and media meanwhile clapped and hooted, especially the ones from Hyderabad. After all, the way both Alia and Ranbir sang and spoke in chaste Telugu without a teleprompter was praiseworthy.

Ranbir Kapoor continued, “I was very young when somebody sent me an autograph of my grandfather, Mr Raj Kapoor. It had a quote from him, and I have framed it at my bedside. It says, ‘Humility is an artist’s greatest virtue’. And we have seen this in the three great artists who have been a strong support to our vision – S S Rajamouli, Nagarjuna and Tarak (Jr. NTR.)”

Finally, Ranbir Kapoor addressed all those who intend to watch Brahmastra, “It is a great 3D watch. So, if its playing in a 3D version near you, do watch. We have managed some world class effects thanks to Namit Malhotra.”

In just a few days, the much-anticipated film Brahmastra starring Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt will hit the theatres. While the fans are excited to see their favourite pair on screen, the advance bookings have opened up now. The film will be released in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D formats. Now, we have some insights into the advance bookings.

With Hindi films not working at the box office, and shows getting cancelled and replaced, all eyes are on Brahmastra which is one of the highly awaited films of the year. It has taken a decade to bring this film onto the big screen and 5-7 years to get the project rolling. As the countdown is on for the biggest spectacle, as per an early update, 11,558 tickets have been sold for the upcoming movie, so far at a leading multiplex chain.

The total ticket sales for Friday, September 9, is 63%, followed by Saturday seeing 25% sales while Sunday is witnessing 12%. The film will require word of mouth for box office collections to show the magic. If the first-day responses live up to the expectations, the film needs to maintain the momentum for at least a week in order to see growth. One can expect spot bookings once the film releases. It all counts on the word of mouth on Friday and the business for the first weekend depends on the response of the audience.

S.S Rajamouli presents Brahmāstra – Part One: Shiva in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Produced by Star Studios, Dharma Productions, Prime Focus and Starlight Pictures, the magnum opus will release theatrically on 9th September across 5 Indian languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada with a stellar ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy and Nagarjuna Akkineni.
