Kaantha Release Pushed As Lokah Continues Its Box Office Rampage

Fans of Dulquer Salmaan will have to wait a little longer to catch him in Kaantha. The film, which was initially marked for a September 12 theatrical debut, has officially been postponed. The decision, according to the makers, comes in light of the phenomenal response to Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra, which has been packing theatres since its release.

In a statement, the team thanked audiences for the overwhelming love showered on the teaser of Kaantha. They admitted the encouragement drives them to deliver a cinematic experience worth the wait. For now, however, they prefer to let Lokah continue its triumphant run at the box office before unveiling their next big story. A revised release date is expected to be announced soon.

Inside the World of Kaantha

Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha transports viewers to 1950s Madras. At its heart lies a turbulent relationship between a filmmaker and his lead actor, promising a narrative that blends personal conflict with period detail. The film is said to carry shades of both psychological drama and slow-burn suspense, setting it apart from standard commercial fare.



Cast and Crew

Alongside Dulquer, who also serves as co-producer with Rana Daggubati, the film stars Samuthirakani and Bhagyashri Borse in prominent roles. The project also brings together an impressive technical team: Jhanu Chanthar on music, Dani Sanchez-Lopez as cinematographer, and Llewellyn Anthony Gonsalvez in charge of editing. With such names on board, expectations are high for a film that balances aesthetic finesse with emotional heft.

What the Postponement Means

For audiences, the delay is a double-edged sword. While anticipation is bound to stretch further, it also signals the makers’ confidence in Kaantha as a premium product deserving its own spotlight. Strategically, postponing the release allows Dulquer’s production outfit to avoid competing with itself, ensuring that Lokah continues to thrive while keeping Kaantha fresh in the conversation.

The teaser has already sparked curiosity with its textured visuals and intriguing premise. And with Dulquer at the centre of both the performance and production fronts, Kaantha now carries an even greater sense of build-up. The only question that remains is when audiences will finally get to experience its vintage Madras world on the big screen.

Wives Get Electric Shocks After Husbands Failed At Answering ‘5 Types of Dance In India’ In Pati Patni Aur Panga 

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The latest episode of the reality show “Pati Patni Aur Panga” is another dose of laughter and drama with a hilarious new challenge. In the recently released promo, the wives are made to stand on an electric table, while their husbands must answer quiz questions to keep them safe from getting a shock, and only correct answers can save the wives, adding pressure and fun to the game.

Pati Patni Aur Panga

The promo begins with host of the show Munawar Faruqui asking the first question: “Name five types of dance in India.” Rocky Jaiswal jumps in with, “Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Udupi,” but Munawar quickly interrupts, joking that Udupi is a restaurant, not a dance form. Rocky fails to give the remaining answers in time, and as a result, Hina Khan receives a playful electric shock.

Pati Patni Aur Panga

Then Abhinav Shukla tries his luck but stumbles when housemates point out that Bhangra and Gidda are essentially the same dance form. His mistake causes his wife, Rubina Dilaik, to get shocked as well. Comedian Sudesh Lahiri gives the answer “Bhangra, Kathak, Salsa,” but since Salsa is not an Indian dance, his wife, Mamta Lahiri, also faces the jolt. The fun continues as Gurmeet Choudhary takes the challenge. Instead of giving different names, he repeatedly says “Kathak, Kathak” while dancing to the rhythm, making everyone burst into laughter.

Pati Patni Aur Panga

Unfortunately, his funny approach can’t save Debina Bonnerjee from the electric shock. Wrestler Pawan Kumar then gives perhaps the funniest reply of the day, answering simply with the word “dhool,” leaving the entire set in splits. Since its premiere, Pati Patni Aur Panga has quickly climbed the TRP charts, thanks to its unique concept and light-hearted games. Let us tell you that the show brings together some of television’s most popular celebrity couples, including Hina Khan, Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik, Abhinav Shukla, Avika Gor, Milind Chandwani, Debina Bonnerjee, Gurmeet Choudhary, etc.

When Hrithik Roshan & Rakesh Roshan Helped Priyanka Chopra Take Her Dad To US For Cancer Treatment

In a candid conversation on the YouTube channel Something Bigger Show, Madhu Chopra reminisced about the time when Ashok Chopra was diagnosed with cancer and needed urgent treatment in Boston, US. Madhu shared, “It just so happened that Priyanka was shooting Krrish with Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan, so she shared her worries with them. He asked her, ‘Why are you crying?’ and then both father and son made that possible for the airlines to take us. They helped us, put in a word, they knew people.”

Madhu Chopra further shared that her late husband chose to keep the illness private. “He told me not to tell anybody, not in the family, we will go through it ourselves. That was the hardest time to see this mountain slowly getting weak and dealing with something. He couldn’t share his anxiety, his worries, and he was internalising it all,” Madhu said.

Earlier, in her autobiography, Unfinished, Priyanka Chopra also extended her heartfelt gratitude to Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan for supporting her in crucial times. Priyanka wrote, “If we hadn’t had people around us who were so kind and so willing to act on our behalf — Hrithik and his father, Rakesh sir, our family in Boston – I doubt that my father would have made it. There’s no way I can ever express my gratitude adequately to them, but it is deep and it is enduring.”

What’s Next For Priyanka Chopra & Hrithik Roshan?

On the work front, Priyanka Chopra is set to return to Indian cinema after a long time. She will share the screen with the superstar Mahesh Babu in SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated film, SSMB29. She was also signed alongside Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt for Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zara, announced years ago, but no updates on filming have emerged since.

Regarding international projects, her latest film, Heads of State, recently premiered on Amazon Prime Video. She will next be seen in The Bluff, a 19th-century Caribbean-set action-adventure film.

On the other hand, Hrithik Roshan’s much-awaited action thriller War 2 was released in August 2025. He is next reported to reprise his iconic superhero role in Krrish 4. Rakesh Roshan announced the fourth installment of the popular franchise, and pre-production would begin in 2026 for a 2027 release.

Bigg Boss 19: Zeishan Quadri Backs Amaal Mallik After He Accidentally Hurts Nehal Chudasma

In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19, Zeishan Quadri once again showed why he is one of the most balanced contestants in the house. During a task that required physical strength, contestant Amaal Mallik accidentally hurt Nehal Chudasma. The incident quickly escalated, with several housemates blaming Amaal and even calling it a case of “bad touch” after Nehal broke down.

Zeishan Quadri Backs Amaal Mallik After He Accidentally Hurts Nehal Chudasma

Amid the heated discussion, Zeishan stepped in as a true friend and voice of reason. He consoled Amaal, saying, “Tu dil pe mat le. Sports hai, sports me hota hai.” His calm and practical words highlighted how such accidents are part of competitive games and should not always be seen in the wrong light.

Zeishan’s wisdom comes not just from experience but also from his own research in the field of sports. For a sports drama film, he had earlier travelled to Ladakh to study the lives of the girls’ ice hockey team. He lived with the players for a couple of weeks. He learned how they trained, how they balanced their daily struggles, and how ice hockey has slowly grown into a sport of national importance.

This background allowed Zeishan to view the situation inside the house differently. While others rushed to conclusions, he reminded everyone that accidents are part of physical challenges and do not always reflect intent. His ability to combine empathy for Amaal with knowledge of how sports work was widely appreciated by viewers.

By standing beside Amaal Mallik in a difficult moment, and by putting things into the larger context of sportsmanship, Zeishan Quadri proved both his maturity and his strong sense of friendship inside the Bigg Boss house.

Jugnuma review: Manoj Bajpayee soars in Raam Reddy's dreamscape where magic meets everyday life

Jugnuma review: Manoj Bajpayee soars in Raam Reddy’s dreamscape where magic meets everyday life

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The first thing that hooks you to The Fable (releasing in India as Jugnuma) is the opening frame itself. Shot on film, a rarity today, it immediately sets the mood. Glossy widescreen frames may look impressive, but when the setting is the 1980s, the masterstroke lies in the choice of format. The grainy texture of the stock suits a story that calls itself a fable, and the makers are careful not to smooth it over. The effect is a sense of magic and story coming alive.

The film’s unique cinematography and authentic performances create a captivating story about family and the environment.

What is Jugnuma about?

Jugnuma is not a run-of-the-mill film. The only familiar presence is Manoj Bajpayee, whose mainstream success in the OTT world has given him the freedom to experiment. Raam Reddy’s film benefits immensely from that. Viewers may arrive for Manoj, but they stay for Raam’s storytelling. The film follows Dev (Manoj), an orchard owner in Himachal who lives happily with his wife and two children. One day, part of his orchard is torched. Suspicion falls on the villagers tasked with guarding it at night. What happens next is the rest of the film.

Movie Review

Jugnuma

Jugnuma

Rating Star 3/5

The film follows a Himachal orchard owner living with his wife and children, whose orchard is partly torched, putting suspicion on the night guards.

Cast

Manoj Bajpayee, Priyanka Bose

Verdict

Jugnuma reveals that a fable is less about magic and more about the truths woven into daily life, leaving behind questions, images, and a mood that lingers well past its runtime.

There is a plot, but the film does not rush. It prefers to let events unfold at their own pace, aided by touches of magic realism. Early on, Dev dons a pair of enormous wings he has built himself and soars into the sky. Magic is part of everyday life here.

The nuances stand out. A video camera, first introduced innocently as Dev’s youngest child runs around excitedly with it, turns the viewer into a lens. Later, the same camera offers a final glimpse of what may have happened to the family, which disappears without trace. Man’s battle with the environment is also a recurring theme.

A stunning picture

The visuals themselves, crafted by cinematographer Sunil Borkar, a former national-level shooter, are fascinating. A look into how the film was made, and the awards it has already won, is enough to leave anyone impressed, do give it a read on Wikipedia.

Among the performances, Manoj is so good at slipping into his characters that it hardly feels like acting. He is Dev. Priyanka Bose complements him perfectly as his wife. With half the cast drawn from real villagers trained on location, the story gains an added sense of authenticity. Deepak Dobriyal, as Dev’s manager and the narrator, does his part well.

Overall, Jugnuma shows that a fable is not just about magic but about the truths hidden within the everyday. It leaves you with questions, images, and a mood that lingers far longer than the runtime.

Shraddha Kapoor is one of the most loved actresses in Bollywood. Known for her charisma, incredible talent, and down-to-earth nature, Shraddha continues to win hearts to date. With a career spanning over two decades, she has proved her worth as a versatile actor in the industry. Let’s look back at the time when Shraddha Kapoor reflected on struggling with anxiety. Read on to know more

Shraddha Kapoor On Struggling With Anxiety

In a chat with Pinkvilla, Shraddha opened up about battling anxiety for over six years. She shared, “I didn’t even know what anxiety was. We didn’t know about it for a very long time. It was just after Aashiqui, where I had this physical manifestation of anxiety. There’s this pain happening where there was no physiological diagnosis. We got so many tests done, but there was nothing wrong with me in the doctor’s report. It’s bizarre because I kept thinking why I was getting that pain. Then I kept asking myself why that is happening.”

Shraddha Kapoor Says To Embrace It

“Today, it’s something that I still deal with but it has become so much better than what it was. Also, somewhere you have to embrace it. You have to accept it as a part of yourself and approach it with a lot of self-love. That made a big difference. A very very big difference because I think one of the most important things is to try to understand yourself. Whether you have anxiety or not, you always need to understand who you are or what you stand for,” Shraddha concluded.

More About Shraddha Kapoor

Born to actors Shakti Kapoor and Shivangi Kolhapure, Shraddha Kapoor marked her Bollywood debut in 2010 with the film Teen Patti. The film also starred Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, and R. Madhavan, among others. Some of her notable films include Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar, Stree, and Chhichhore.

‘That’s Akshay Kumar’s monthly salary’: Comedian Sapan Verma jokes about Aamir Khan rejecting over ₹100 crore OTT deal

written by jummy84

In August, Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aditi Rao Hydari, Jaideep Ahlawat and several others attended the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), with photos and videos from the event quickly surfacing online. Comedian Sapan Verma hosted the awards night and has now shared a video of his opening monologue, where he roasted stars including Aamir, Malaika and Abhishek.

Comedian Sapan Verma roasted Aamir Khan.

Sapan Verma roasts Aamir Khan

The video began with Sapan poking fun at Aamir Khan’s relentless promotion of Sitaare Zameen Par. He said, “Aamir Khan, as we all know, was so good this year in all the 450 interviews he did to promote Sitaare Zameen Par. Sir, you did so much promotion at one point, I was worried. My doorbell rang, I thought you had personally come to tell me to watch the film.”

He further joked about Aamir rejecting a ₹100 crore OTT deal and added, “Aamir sir made history, an iconic move. He has released this film directly on YouTube. I have heard that you declined an offer of more than ₹100 crore from an OTT platform for this move. ₹100 crore. You know what that means, right? Akshay Kumar’s monthly salary.”

Aamir indeed gave multiple interviews to promote Sitaare Zameen Par. Later, he announced that the film would not be released on any OTT platform. Reports suggested that he had turned down an offer of ₹120 crore from Amazon Prime Video for its digital rights. Eventually, Aamir released the film on YouTube, charging viewers ₹100.

Speaking about his decision, Aamir said, “This was the reason why I did not give away the rights of my film Sitaare Zameen Par, as this plan was in motion. Our plan is to release every film under the Aamir Khan Production banner on YouTube, after they complete their theatrical run. Each movie will be available at a minimal cost of ₹100.”

About Sitaare Zameen Par

Directed by RS Prasanna, the sports comedy-drama is a spiritual successor to Khan’s 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. It stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles alongside 10 debutant actors, all of whom are specially abled. An official remake of the 2018 Spanish film Campeones, it follows a suspended basketball coach who must serve community service by helping a team of players with disabilities prepare for a tournament.

The film received positive reviews from both critics and audiences, emerging as a box-office success with earnings of ₹267.52 crore against a budget of ₹122 crore.

IFFM winners

At IFFM, Aamir Khan was honoured with the prestigious Excellence in Cinema Award. Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound won big, taking home both Best Film and Best Director. Abhishek Bachchan bagged Best Actor (Film) for I Want To Talk, while Jaideep Ahlawat won Best Actor (Series) for Paatal Lok Season 2.

There’s hardly any celeb in the tinsel town who couldn’t stop raving about the Telugu film, Little Hearts. From Naga Chaitanya to Nani to Ravi Teja, all were in awe of the film and even posted reviews on their respective social media handles. Little Hearts has turned out to be one of the sleeper hits of the year and has been capturing the audience’s hearts. Directed by Sai Marthand and produced by Aditya Hasan, the teen love story stars Mouli Tanuj and Shivani Nagaram. Producers Bunny Vas and Vamsi Nandipati distributed the film, and have expressed gratitude to the audiences for the overwhelming response.

Allu Aravind garu appreciated Little Hearts: Bunny Vas

Bunny Vas (a partner in Allu Arjun’s father’s production house GA2 Pictures, and a key collaborator of Allu Arjun’s films) stated that audiences will always support films with strong content, and with Little Hearts, he stands vindicated. “Allu Aravind garu watched and appreciated the film,” he comments. “Little Hearts is the first film released under my BV Works banner. Bunny (Allu Arjun) garu always pushes me to prepare a young team, and I found that in Little Hearts. After I saw the film’s visuals, I was confident that the film would strike a chord with the audiences. The film’s success is driving me to do more films.” Referring to Mouli Tanuj, Bunny Vas said it’s a rarity that the audiences are cheering for a debutant actor in theatres. “Mouli is a classic example that regardless of background one can make a name in the industry.” The producer stated that he always remains grateful to Allu Arjun and Aravind Garu for giving him the opportunity.

Little Hearts follows the story of Akhil (Mouli Tanuj) who, after failing to secure a rank in EAMCET, joins a coaching centre. He meets Khatyayani (Shivani Nagaram). While their relationship blossoms, their lives take an unexpected and interesting turn.
