The Indian box office is headed for one of its most crowded weekends of the year. On June 12, more than 20 films will release across Hindi, Hollywood, and regional markets, setting the stage for a major battle for screens and audience attention. At a time when exhibitors are already juggling multiple titles, the unusually packed release calendar is expected to intensify competition among filmmakers. While trade experts warn of screen shortages and fragmented audiences, producers believe content remains the ultimate deciding factor. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh feels the industry would benefit from better spacing between releases. "There are multiple films. In fact, a barrage of films releasing on June 12. And I don't really think it's a healthy trend because when you have so many films coming on the same Friday, there's a shortage of screens. There's a shortage of shows and, obviously, the audience gets divided," he told NDTV. Leading the Hindi slate are...

Back in 2012, I interviewed the late Parag Parikh when he was about to launch PPFAS Mutual Fund. Besides his contrarian investing style, the one thing that stood out about him was his refreshingly candid take on things. This was when mutual funds   were witnessing outflows for years and assets under management stood at a little over Rs 5 lakh crore - largely debt-oriented. When I asked him how he planned to garner investments at a time when mutual funds weren't in favour, he said: "By being on the side of the investor". He then pointed to a note he had gotten stamped on the physical prospectus of the AMC's inaugural equity fund that said: "Please do not invest in this fund if you can't remain invested for at least five years". I can't draw a straight line from the note to PPFAS' outperformance over the past decade, and the swelling of its assets. But surely, sobering investors' expectations when the temptation is to oversell helps attract...

Michael Jackson was arrested in November 2003 after 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo accused him of sexual abuse. Two days before his arrest, investigators from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department searched Neverland Ranch in California for evidence linked to the allegations. Now, a new Netflix docuseries is revisiting the searches conducted at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, detailing evidence investigators recovered during multiple child molestation investigations involving the late pop star.  During the raid, authorities seized several items later introduced during Jackson's 2005 trial, including adult pornographic magazines, videos and a briefcase containing pornography. Law enforcement officials have previously stated that no child pornography was discovered during the searches. Police returned to Neverland in 2004 to collect additional DNA samples ahead of the trial. Jackson was ultimately found not guilty on all counts. The property had also been searched i...
