Actress Rosamund Pike says HOSTILES is an existential movie with a simple story.

"I didn't think of this as a genre film. This is very much an existential movie for me. The story is quite simple and yet there's so much," Pike said in a statement.

"The human landscape of it is vast. There's tremendous interplay between these characters. They've all seen such darkness and it's affected them in different ways," she added.

Set in 1892, HOSTILES stars Christian Bale as a captain who agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief (Wes Studi) and his family back home to tribal lands. The journey takes Bale and his detail from New Mexico to the grasslands of Montana. HOSTILES is based on an original manuscript by the late Donald Stewart.

It is directed by Scott Cooper from his own script, and also stars Q'orianka Kilcher, Adam Beach, Rory Cochrane, Ben Foster, Jesse Plemons, Jonathan Majors and Timothee Chalamet. Brought to India by PVR Pictures, HOSTILES will release in India on February 16.

Cooper also praised Pike, who plays character of Rosalee Quaid in the film.

"She has such a high emotional IQ. She's the actress who always wants to take the character from one stage to something completely unexpected. She's thinking at every moment of how she'll relate to something that's six, eight or ten minutes down the narrative," Cooper said.

Ace designer Manish Malhotra says actress Sonam Kapoor is very talented and should take up more films.

The designer talked about Sonam when he became part of TV show 'BFFs with Vogue'. He was accompanied with actress Sonakshi Sinha, according a statement from channel Colors Infinity.

As host Neha Dhupia asked the fashion designer about his views on Bollywood's fashion diva Sonam, Malhotra said: "I think she is a real fashionista, and she is fabulous but I think Sonam has a lot more talent. She should definitely work a lot more. I mean she should do more films."

But Sonakshi had a different view for Sonam.

"Once Sonam showed me a lot of attitude and I think that was kind of unnecessary."

On the work front, Sonam is seen in PAD MAN — a film highlighting awareness on menstrual hygiene. The movie, also featuring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Apte, released on Friday.

On the work front, Sonam is seen in PAD MAN — a film highlighting awareness on menstrual hygiene. The movie, also featuring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Apte, released on Friday.

It was but obvious that Akshay Kumar’s socially relevant PAD MAN would not take a flying start like a HOUSEFULL or the superstar’s other commercial potboilers, and that is exactly how the script unfolded.

As per reports, R. Balki’s PAD MAN has embarked upon a 25-30 percent start, on an average, which is good enough for a film carrying such a theme. Having said that, by and large PAD MAN has managed to strike a chord with the target audience. It is more or less given that the film will end up with a good to decent opening week and a semi-hit to hit status in the final count, very much as per the adage- Slow and steady wins the race.

As per early estimates, the first day appears to be in the 10-11 crore range.

Meanwhile, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Shahid, Deepika and Ranveer starrer, PADMAAVAT, saw a very steady second week grabbing 65 crore thus netting 225 crore in two weeks (15 days to be exact) from India and is sure to end up as a super hit. The performance is very creditable given the odds that the film had to face. PADMAAVAT is superb in the overseas grossing $22m at the end of the second week.
