While Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to wreak havoc at the box office-a spy thriller centred around Indian intelligence operations against terrorism in Pakistan-the film has been tagged as propaganda by many. However, the internet continues to be divided. Amid the rampage, an old video from IIFA's red carpet has resurfaced where a reporter asked several celebrities, "Have you ever thought about hosting IIFA in Pakistan?" From Anil Kapoor to Anupam Kher, several answered, but the reason the video is going viral after Dhurandhar 2 success, is R. Madhavan's and Arjun Rampal's quotes. They played Ajay Sanyal, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), and Major Iqbal, a ruthless ISI operative, respectively. What Did They Say? R. Madhavan's answer to the question was, "Yes, I would be the first to go. I just want to say to my Pakistani brothers and sisters, your love always reaches me through Twitter and Facebook. It makes me very ...

Over the past two weeks, two Bollywood films have dominated the conversation across print, video, and social media.  The spy thriller Dhurandhar 2 (still raking in the crores), and Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana , whose polarising teaser sparked both massive buzz and intense trolling. This brings us to a filmmaker who mastered these two very different genres: the gritty spy thriller and the timeless sacred epic.  He was the man who gave India its first genuine, big-budget spy blockbuster and its most beloved on-screen Ramayan . His name was Chandramouli Chopra. Never heard of him? Don't worry. He changed his name, and the world came to know him as Ramanand Sagar. Yes, the same Ramanand Sagar who created the 1980s TV phenomenon Ramayan . A show that an entire generation claimed as their own, and one that, even today, is regarded as the gold standard of mythological storytelling. But long before he brought the gods to the small screen, he was busy defining the grammar of the In...

There is a certain image that every celebrity has to maintain when it comes to the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. Sameera Reddy recently got candid about splurging money on expensive items in the 2000s and how she stopped it. What's Happening In a candid conversation with Hauterfly, Sameera Reddy displayed some of her most luxe items worth lakhs. She has a horde of luxury bags, some even ranging between Rs 3 lakh-4 lakh-frivolous spending at its peak to gel with the image of showing one's success. Sameera Reddy said, "Back then I was a shopaholic." Recalling one of her luxury bag purchases, she said, "This is Dior Gaucho bag. This is from 2005. When I just started films, I felt like I needed all the latest bags. I remember this was one of the first bags I got. I bought these bags because I felt the pressure to fit in. People usually say how they love bags, but I really bought these things so that people will think I had arrived. Now when I...

Rajasthan Royals young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continued his golden run of form as the 15-year-old slammed a half-century off just 15 deliveries during the IPL 2026 match in Guwahati against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday. The knock consisted of seven fours and four sixes as the left-handed opener took the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the cleaners. Sooryavanshi started proceedings with two fours off Bhuvneshwar in the first over, and although Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed in the second over, the youngster continued his onslaught as he slammed three fours and one six in four consecutive deliveries against Hazlewood. This was the second time Sooryavanshi scored a 15-ball fifty after achieving the same against Chennai Super Kings earlier in IPL 2026 at the Barsapara Stadium. Fastest fifty by an Indian in IPL (by balls) 13 - Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR) vs KKR, Kolkata, 2023 14 - KL Rahul (PBKS) vs DC, Mohali, 2018 15 - Yusuf Pathan (KKR) vs SRH, Kolkata...

Pop culture and Bollywood often extend their influence beyond entertainment, shaping trends and reviving forgotten favourites. Following the success of Dhurandhar - Part One and Part Two, a classic desi beverage has found renewed popularity among audiences. If you have watched the film, you already know what we are referring to: doodh soda. What Is Doodh Soda? Made by mixing chilled milk with carbonated soda, doodh soda is typically sweetened with sugar and ice, and sometimes flavoured with rose syrup or other essences. Light, fizzy and refreshing, it is a drink closely associated with summer, especially in North India. In the film, Gaurav Gera's character Mohammad Aalam runs a juice shop in Lyari, Pakistan. His line, "Darling, darling, dil kyun toda. Peelo peelo, Aalam soda," served not only as a coded message within the story for Ranveer Singh's character Hamza , but also reignited curiosity and nostalgia for doodh soda among viewers. In Delhi, two modest shop...

Congress leader Pawan Khera's pre-arrest bail hearing in the Telangana High Court over a complaint filed by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma turned heated on Thursday, with lawyers of both sides using phrases like "constitutional cowboys" and "international khiladi " to make their arguments before the court. Pawan Khera, a Congress spokesperson, moved the high court after the Assam Police filed a case against him over his allegation that Sarma and his wife Riniki Bhuyan Sharma possessed clandestine foreign passports and overseas assets. Based on a complaint by Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, the police filed charges of forgery, cheating, criminal intimidation, conspiracy, and defamation against the Congress leader. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Pawan Khera, alleged that the FIR had been loaded with every possible charge to exert pressure on a political opponent. He argued that even if the Congress leader's statements turned out to be ...

Yuvraj Singh was one of the main architects of India's domination at the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup. In a team full of superstars, Yuvraj was the Player of the Tournament in both marquee events that India won under the captaincy of MS Dhoni . While Yuvraj is the holder of many feats, his six sixes against Stuart Broad at the 2007 T20 World Cup still evoke pure nostalgia. In the match at Durban, Yuvraj slammed Broad for six sixes in the 19th over, on the way to scoring a 12-ball half-century. There is a popular story on social media that former IPL chairman Lalit Modi gifted Yuvraj Singh a car for his six sixes. Yuvraj Singh has finally revealed the actual story. "He said to me that if someone hits six sixes, I'm going to give him a Ferrari. It just happened, and I was like, 'Where's my Ferrari?' He promised a Porsche 911, and I asked, 'Where's my Porsche?' He said, 'You will get your car.' I asked, 'What if I win t...

A year after Samay Raina landed in a proverbial soup for the infamous episode of his show India's Got Latent featuring Ranveer Allahbadia, the stand-up comedian clapped back at his trolls in his inimitable style through a stage act which only seems to have ruffled more feathers. A day after clips of Samay Raina's special Still Alive started going 'crazy' on the Internet, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna lashed out at the actor for targeting him. In an Instagram post, the Shaktimaan star and producer wrote, " Kutte ki dum tedhi rehti hai. Use lakh sheeshiyon mein rakho, baahar nikalo. Phir tedhi ki tedhi. Samay Raina ki bhi ek dum hai. Kitna bhi maaro, seedha karo, wo wapas tedhi ho jaati hai. Kyunki wo seedha-saada praani nahin hai . (The dog's tail remains crooked. You can try putting it in a bottle, bring it out, and it will still be crooked. Samay Raina too has a crooked tail. No matter how much thrash it, straighten it,, it will still go back to being cro...

David Miller was visibly distraught following Delhi Capitals' (DC) narrow one-run loss to the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their IPL 2026 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Miller, who slammed an unbeaten 41 off just 20 balls, took a massive gamble on the penultimate ball of the contest, but the decision backfired. With two runs needed off as many balls, Miller refused a single on the second-to-last ball of Prasidh Krishna 's over. However, it turned out to be the defining moment of the contest as Krishna bowled a slower bouncer to beat Miller.  Miller and Vipraj Nigam , who was at the non-striker's end, attempted to steal a quick bye, only for Jos Buttler to affect a direct hit at the striker's end to dismiss Nigam. Miller was completely heartbroken after the result and had to be consoled by DC captain Axar Patel , who shook hands with his teammate and gave him a pat on the back. Watch it yourself to believe it A nerve-wrecking finish to a #TATAIPL clas...

Hospitals in Beirut and across Lebanon are struggling to cope with hundreds of casualties after the Israeli military launched more than 100 air strikes within a 10-minute window. According to civil defence, at least 254 people have been killed and more than 1,100 injured, with the death count expected to rise as many remain in a critical condition. Rescuers are still working to reach those reported missing or trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings. This wave of air strikes, described as the largest since the outbreak of the war in Lebanon, began shortly after Donald Trump announced a 15-day ceasefire and negotiations with Iran aimed at finding peace in the Middle East. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Lebanon is not included in the truce. Iran on Wednesday closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the Associated Press reported. One of the first major strikes hit a cafe in Saida, killing eight people and injuring 22...

After a long wait, the teaser of Ramayana , starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, was released last week. The first glimpse into the world of the epic spectacle, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, led to a horde of reactions online-some positive, others not so much. While a section trolled Ramayana, mounted on a Rs 4,000 crore budget, over VFX quality, another was just not convinced about Ranbir Kapoor playing Rama. Namit Malhotra took to social media earlier today to thank everyone for the overwhelming response, and also reiterated how they are "listening closely and working diligently." The Post Namit Malhotra wrote, "Dear all, the response over the past few days has truly been overwhelming, inspiring, and humbling. Seeing how our Rama continues to touch so many hearts across the world fills me with deep humility and joy. I cherish all of the conversations, the excitement, and feedback. This is a story etched in the souls of billions and deserves o...

The second F-15 airman had been missing for hours. Iran, according to President Donald Trump, had no idea. Then a "mole" leaked the information to the media, and a hunt began. "They Didn't Know There Was Somebody Missing" Speaking in the White House briefing room on Monday, Trump said a media report revealing that US forces had rescued one F-15 crew member but were still searching for a second had complicated the rescue operation by alerting Iran. "We're looking very hard to find that leaker. They basically said that we have one, and there's somebody missing. Well, [Iran] didn't know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information," Trump said. Trump said the disclosure forced the US military into a far more difficult position. "It became a much more difficult operation because a leaker leaked that we have one, we've rescued one, but there's another one out there that we're trying to get," he sai...

Royal Challengers Bengaluru mentor Dinesh Karthik believes it will be difficult to keep Devdutt Padikkal out of the Indian team for long, given the manner in which he is batting in IPL 2026 following stellar domestic performances. Padikkal starred in RCB's big win against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, scoring a blistering 50 off 29 balls. Asked about Padikkal's composed knock at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Karthik, who is also RCB's batting coach, highlighted his composure during a tough initial phase before opening up. "The first thing that stands out is his determination. On a pitch like this, when runs don't come easily at the start, many batters try to force a big shot and end up giving their wicket away. Devdutt showed great courage to stay patient when the going was tough," Karthik told Star Sports. Karthik also suggested that Padikkal's current form would make it difficult for the BCCI selection committee to keep him out of the Indian team for much ...
