Music Review: Jon Batiste opts for chill vibe on stripped-down album, ‘Big Money’

by jummy84 August 20, 2025
written by jummy84

On “Big Money,” Super Bowl-sized singer Jon Batiste opts for a surprisingly intimate sound.

Music Review: Jon Batiste opts for chill vibe on stripped-down album, ‘Big Money’

The just over 32-minute, nine-song set will be released Friday, and it’s not nearly as loud as the New Orleans’ jazzman’s eye-popping wardrobe. The stripped-down, mostly acoustic arrangements create a chill vibe. Simplicity somehow only intensifies the songs’ swing and sway.

Batiste pairs lyrics about devotion, values, angels and ecology with music that mixes folk and funk, gospel and the blues. The range is such that Batiste even plays a little fiddle and mandolin, but he shines brightest on two songs featuring his solo piano.

The first is a wonderful duet with Randy Newman, another piano man with New Orleans roots, who in recent years has been slowed by health issues and kept a low profile. They cover Doc Pomus’ “Lonely Avenue,” and Newman’s legendarily froggy tenor provides a comical contrast to Batiste’s vocal sheen. “I could die, I could die, I could die,” Newman sings. “It sounds like I’m dying.”

Also stellar is “Maybe,” a ballad filled with thick chords and questions about the big picture. “Or maybe we should all just take a collective pause,” Batiste sings, before launching into a keyboard exploration worthy of Jelly Roll Morton.

The bouncy “Lean on My Love” draws from Prince, Sly Stone and the Spinners as Batiste sings in unison with Andra Day. The equally buoyant title cut rhymes “money” and “dummy” in a strummy sing-along that includes backing vocals by the Womack Sisters, granddaughters of soul singer Sam Cooke.

“Pinnacle” chooses a similar tempo to kick up Delta dust around a delightful word salad. “Hop scotch/Double Dutchie jumping rope/Twistin’ it and ya wobble it/And let it go,” he sings on one verse.

Batiste’s gospel influences are most evident on the closing reggae tune “Angels” and the ballad “Do It All Again,” a love song that could be interpreted as secular or spiritual.

“When I’m happy, it’s your shine,” Batiste sings. As always, he makes joy sound genuine.

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu Releases on OTT

by jummy84 August 20, 2025
written by jummy84

The big-budget period drama, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, is set to release on OTT shortly after its theatrical release. Directed by Krish and Jyothi Krisna, the film also features Bobby Deol and Nidhhi Agerwal. Although it was released in theatres on July 24th with huge expectations, the film ultimately got a mixed response from both viewers and critics.

It is a common practice in Telugu cinema that films with a shorter theatrical run are quickly made available on digital platforms. In the same way, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is poised to begin streaming online within a month of its theatrical release.

The makers officially announced on the film’s X account that the historical epic will be available on Prime Video starting today, August 20th. The post read, “A tale of rebellion, rage and righteousness. The storm that started in theatres now takes over your screens.” The movie was released at midnight, and the announcement was made only a few hours before it became available on OTT platforms.

A tale of rebellion, rage and righteousness ⚔️🔥

The storm that started in theatres now takes over your screens ✊🏽

Watch the saga of #HariHaraVeeraMallu Sword vs Spirit unfold from AUGUST 20 only on @PrimeVideoIN 🦅

— Hari Hara Veera Mallu (@HHVMFilm) August 19, 2025

Although fans were pleased with the quick release, some felt that it was somewhat rushed, considering the film’s extensive scope. One fan mentioned that the movie might have benefited from a longer theatrical run to maintain its magic. On the other hand, others expressed their hope that the digital version would address the subpar visual effects and editing issues that received considerable criticism during its theatrical release.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu generated a huge buzz around the time of its release, particularly as it marked Pawan Kalyan’s first film after assuming the role of Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. In contrast to his usual practice of avoiding film promotions, the actor actively participated in promotional events throughout the country. Despite the anticipation, the film disappointed many due to its weak narrative and underwhelming visual effects.

The movie narrates the story of Veera Mallu, an outlaw played by Pawan Kalyan, who goes on a daring mission to steal the legendary Kohinoor diamond from Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, played by Bobby Deol. Nidhhi Agerwal plays the female lead in this action-packed film.

Sana Rais Khan will fight Hunar Hale’s divorce case. She had earlier fought for Avin Sahu, the first accused in the drugs case related to Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, and got him bail. After this, Aryan’s case became stronger. Not only this, Sana fought a defamation case against TV actress Rupali Ganguly by her stepdaughter Eisha. At the same time, Sana Rais Khan represented Indrani Mukherjee in the Sheena Bora murder case.

Hunar Hale

Now Sana Rais Khan has the high-profile case of Hunar Hali and Mayank Gandhi’s divorce. In this, she will fight in the court on behalf of Hunar Hale. Sana said, ‘I approach every case with the same intensity and caution, whether it is a difficult criminal case or a personal matter attracting public attention.’ If we talk about Hunar Hale, she has been a part of TV shows like ‘Chhal Shah Aur Maat’, ‘Ek Boond Ishq’, ‘Sasural Genda Phool’, ‘Daheez’, and ‘Mukti Bandhan’.

Prabhas’ Look From Fauji LEAKED Online; Makers Warn Of Legal Action

by jummy84 August 20, 2025
written by jummy84

Prabhas is currently shooting for Fauji, an upcoming war-time romantic drama directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. Recently, a photo of the actor from the film’s set leaked online and went viral. The picture has caused concern for the film’s makers, who have issued a strong warning against sharing such content.

Prabhas’s Fauji Look Leaked

Production house Mythri Movie Makers took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “We’ve noticed that many are sharing a picture from the sets of #PrabhasHanu. These leaks lower the team’s morale. Any account sharing such images will be reported and treated as a cybercrime.”

This isn’t the first time Fauji has faced leaks. In November last year, several behind-the-scenes photos surfaced online, showing vintage cars, buses, and a classic retro set design. Some reports even claimed that the shoot was happening at Hyderabad’s Alipore Jail, where Subhash Chandra Bose was once imprisoned.

We’ve observed that a lot of you are sharing a picture from the sets of #PrabhasHanu.

We are striving to give you the best experience, and these leaks bring the morale of the team down.

Any account sharing such pictures will not only be reported and brought down but will be…

— Mythri Movie Makers (@MythriOfficial) August 19, 2025

Fauji is one of Prabhas’s most-awaited films. It’s said to be a large-scale romantic action drama set during World War 2. The movie promises a mix of emotion, history, and powerful visuals, showing the journey of a soldier. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film has a stellar team. Music is composed by Vishal Chandrashekhar, cinematography is by Sudeep Chatterjee, and editing is handled by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao. The film reportedly has a massive budget of Rs 400 crore.

Prabhas was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD, which starred Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani. He has several upcoming projects, including The Spirit, The Raja Saab, Salaar 2, and Kalki 2898 AD Part 2.

Coolie producer approaches Madras HC to challenge Rajinikanth film’s A certificate from CBFC for ‘celebrating violence’

After watching Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie, many were surprised why the film was awarded an A certificate.

The producer of Coolie, Sun TV Network Limited’s Sun Pictures, has approached the Madras High Court to challenge the A certificate granted to the Rajinikanth film by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A report by The Hindu states that the producer was ‘shocked’ upon receiving an email from the certification board that their film ‘celebrated violence’.

Coolie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and stars Rajinikanth in the lead role.

Coolie producer approaches HC over A certificate

The A certificate given to Coolie meant that people under 18 could not watch the film in theatres. The production firm filed a civil miscellaneous appeal against the CBFC’s decision. It was pointed out that anyone who applies for a film certification can appeal before the tribunal within 30 days. Coolie was released in theatres on 14 August with an A certificate, and the film’s producers chose to release it before challenging the certification.

In the grounds of appeal, Sun Pictures had said that it produced Coolie to celebrate Rajinikanth completing 50 years in cinema and that the film had become a ‘mega blockbuster’. However, when they applied for the CBFC certification on 28 July, they claimed that they received a response on 31 July that the movie was ‘celebrating violence’ and would hence be given an A certificate. A revising committee also issued an A certificate for the film on 4 August.

Sun Pictures also questioned the CBFC for giving a U/A certificate for movies like Yash-starrer KGF and Vijay-starrer Beast, as those films had more violence than Coolie did.

About Coolie

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Sathyaraj, Upendra and Aamir Khan. The film tells the story of Deva (Rajinikanth), who is looking for answers after the sudden death of his friend Rajasekhar (Sathyaraj). Numerous people on social media wondered why Coolie had gotten an A certificate, given that it didn’t have more violence than any other commercial cinema.

Riding high on the success of Coolie, Shruti Haasan has reportedly bagged another exciting Telugu film, Aakasamlo Oka Tara. According to new reports the actress is drawn to her character design and the intriguing script. For someone like Shruti who likes to juggle and experiment with characters, her role in the Pavan Sadineni directorial came like a breath of fresh air. “It’s an edgy role filled with spunk and typical Shruti Haasan’s swag,” informs a source in the know. “The actress likes to be part of such impactful roles that create a lasting impression among the audiences.

Dhanashree Verma Breaks Silence on Divorce, Calls Chahal’s T-Shirt Stunt ‘Very Sad’

by jummy84 August 20, 2025
written by jummy84

Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and YouTuber-actor Dhanashree Verma finalised their divorce earlier this year, bringing an end to their five-year marriage. While Chahal has spoken about the split in several interviews, Verma had remained silent until now. In a candid conversation, she described the court proceedings as “emotional” and expressed her shock over Chahal’s much-discussed “T-shirt stunt” outside the court, where he was spotted wearing a tee that read: “Be your own sugar daddy.”

Speaking to Humans of Bombay, Dhanashree recalled, “I genuinely feel that the day it actually happened, it was very emotional for me and my family. I still remember when I was standing there and the verdict was about to be given, even though you are so mentally prepared that it is going to happen, it was still so emotional. I literally started howling and crying in front of everybody. I cannot even express what I was feeling at that point of time.”

She added that she was unaware of Chahal’s T-shirt until later. “He walked out first, that whole thing happened with the T-shirt and media, and I wasn’t aware about it because I was still inside. I got out from the back gate because I was not liking that. It was just very sad, you don’t want cameras all over your face. Humko kuch nahi bataana tha, I was wearing normal t-shirt and jeans. I sat in the car, my best friend was there with me, and we were still trying to grasp our breath. It was that shaky moment, especially when you know people will blame you only.”

Dhanashree admitted she had anticipated being blamed even before the divorce was finalized. “Even before I knew about this T-shirt stunt, we were aware that people were going to hold me responsible for the divorce. In your head, you just want to move forward once it’s over. Until I took out my phone and saw it, I didn’t want to believe it. Ye sach mein isne aisa kiya? In that one second, I was like—it’s over. Why should I cry? Somewhere I felt bad, questioning myself—main kyu ro rahi thi? For this? That was the motivation I needed: I just had to laugh it out. In fact, that helped me. Everybody saw me in the courthouse… the way I was howling and crying. In moments like that, everything just flashes through your mind.”

When told that Chahal’s podcast remarks sounded like a final message to her, she quipped, “Arre bhai, WhatsApp kardeta!”

Chahal, meanwhile, had earlier defended his choice of T-shirt in a podcast with Raj Shamani. “I just felt like I wanted to give one message and I did that. Because something had happened from the other end… I didn’t want to do it earlier but then something happened and I decided, now everyone can go to hell, I will do what I want,” he said.

The couple filed for divorce in February 2024, with proceedings concluding this year. Following the split, Dhanashree faced intense trolling online, including allegations of infidelity, while Chahal has since been linked to content creator RJ Mahvash.

Priyanka Chopra Recalls Earning Just 10% of Male Co-Stars’ Salary & Finding Pay Parity in Hollywood

When Priyanka Chopra Talked About Pay Disparity In Bollywood, “I’d Earn 10% Of My Male Co-Actor..”

When Priyanka Chopra Opened Up About Pay Disparity, Body-Shaming & Struggles in Bollywood and Hollywood(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Global icon Priyanka Chopra is one of the most loved and successful actresses not only in Bollywood but also in Hollywood. Over the years of her acting career, Priyanka has established her name, and proved her worth as a versatile actor. Let’s revisit the time when Priyanka Chopra opened up on pay disparity in the industry. Read on to know more.

Priyanka Chopra On Pay Disparity In Bollywood

In an interview with BBC 100 Women, Priyanka spoke about pay disparity in showbiz and being body-shamed because of her complexion. PC shared, “I’ve never had pay parity in Bollywood. I would get paid about 10% of the salary of my male co-actor. It (pay parity) is large, substantially large. And so many women still deal with that. I’m sure I will too if I worked with a male co-actor now in Bollywood. My generation of female actors have definitely asked for equal pay. We’ve asked, but we’ve not got it. I thought it was absolutely okay to sit for hours and hours on set, while my male co-actor just took his own time, and decided whenever he wanted to show up on set is when we would shoot.”

Priyanka Chopra Recalled Her Initial Days In Bollywood

Priyanka further reminisced about her earlier days in Bollywood, where she was body-shamed for her skintone. The Heads of State actress said, “I was called ‘black cat’ and ‘dusky’. I mean, what does dusky even mean in a country where we are literally all brown? I thought I was not pretty enough; I thought I had to work a lot harder, even though I thought I was probably a little bit more talented than my fellow actors who were light skinned. But I thought that was right because it was so normalised.”

She continued, “Of course, that comes from our colonial past. It’s not even been 100 years since we shed the British Raj, so we still hold on to it., I think. But it is up to our generation to be able to cut those ties and change it so that the next generation doesn’t inherit the equality placed on light skin,” she added.

Priyanka Chopra Says Hollywood Gave her Pay Parity

Priyanka Chopra was also quizzed about how different Hollywood is, when it comes to pay parity. She said, “Well, the first time it’s happened to me, it has happened in Hollywood. So, I don’t know how to move forward. Because this was my first show with a male actor as a co-lead.” (referring to US spy series Citadel)

Priyanka Chopra’s Initial Struggle In Hollywood

Despite having an illustrious acting career in Bollywood, Priyanka still had a fair share of struggle for a decade to carve a niche for herself in Hollywood. “I would go into meetings by myself, introduce myself, and take my show reel. I worked with acting coaches and dialect coaches. I did auditions, got rejected, cried, then went back for another one. I did the hustle that I needed to do to make it in any new industry. It was a humbling experience. I think maybe I have built a certain amount of credibility, and so I’m doing interesting work. We’ll see if that is accepted or not. It’s really hard to be South Asian and Indian in Hollywood. There’s still a long way to go,” she concluded.

“Nahi Bolti Toh Problem”: Janhvi Kapoor Hits Back At Trolls With Confidence | Glamsham.com

by jummy84 August 20, 2025
written by jummy84

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has responded to the trolling she faced after a video of her chanting “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” during a Dahi Handi event went viral. The incident, which took place at a Janmashtami celebration in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, quickly became a topic of debate on social media, with many netizens questioning her choice of words at a religious event.

The Viral Video and Public Reaction

On Saturday, Janhvi attended a Janmashtami event in Mumbai, where she was seen participating in the traditional Dahi Handi festivities. As part of the celebration, she broke the matki (pot) with a coconut and shouted “Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” a slogan typically associated with patriotic events like Independence Day or Republic Day.

This spontaneous moment quickly went viral, but it was met with mixed reactions. Many people found it amusing and jokingly suggested that Janhvi had mixed up Janmashtami with national events, while others criticized her for what they called a “goof-up.” Some took to social media to label her action as inappropriate for the occasion. One user wrote on X, “I request all Bollywood celebrities, please don’t ruin Hindu festival celebrations. If you are here for promotions, kindly understand the festival and its importance.” Another user joked, “Rotated so hard between occasions and festivals this week that she forgot their names and reasons.”

Janhvi’s Clarification and Response

Rather than letting the trolling slide, Janhvi decided to respond and provide context behind the viral clip. The actress took to her Instagram stories to share the full video, explaining that the video had been edited to create a meme. In the unedited version, BJP MLA Ram Kadam is heard prompting the crowd with, “Bolo Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” before Janhvi joins in. Following the chant, she proceeds to break the matki.

Janhvi addressed the trolls with a witty message, writing, “Just for context full video lol. Unke bolne ke baad nahi bolti toh problem, aur bolo toh bhi video ko kaat ke meme material. (laughing emoji) Waise sirf Janmashtami ke din nahi, roz bolungi Bharat mata ki jaiiiii. (If I didn’t say it after they did, that would’ve been a problem. And if I do say it, the video gets edited and turned into meme material. By the way, not just on Janmashtami — I’ll say Bharat Mata Ki Jai every single day).”

Work Front and Upcoming Film

Despite the trolling, Janhvi has kept a positive attitude and continues to focus on her work. The actress is currently promoting her upcoming film Param Sundari, where she stars opposite Sidharth Malhotra. The film, set to hit theatres on August 29, is generating considerable buzz, and Janhvi’s fans are excited to see her in a new role.

The incident, while amusing to some, highlights how easily moments can be taken out of context in today’s digital age. Despite the backlash, Janhvi’s calm and confident response proves her resilience and unwavering pride in her patriotism.
