The Ustaad Bhagat Singh crew dropped their first single, Dekhlenge Saala, after letting 100,000 Pawan Kalyan fans unlock the lyric sheet through a quiz website. Devi Sri Prasad composed the high-energy track with vocals from Vishal Dadlani and Haripriya, and Bhaskarabhatla wrote the lyrics meant to pump up listeners with confidence vibes.
Director Harish Shankar's action flick stars Kalyan opposite Sreeleela, with Mythri Movie Makers bankrolling the production. Ayananka Bose shot the cinematography, while Ram-Laxman handled fight choreography, and Anand Sai designed the sets.
The fan-driven lyric reveal hit the target entry count super fast before the evening release window opened up.
The team behind Sahakutumbaanaam dropped their single ABCDF after pushing back the film's release to avoid clashing with Nandamuri Balakrishna's Akhanda 2. Director Uday Sharma's family drama stars Raam Kiran and Megha Akash, and legendary composer Mani Sharma handled the track with vocals by Sai Charan and lyrics from Anantha Sriram.
HNG Cinemas said they moved their December 12 premiere to December 19 out of respect for Balakrishna's action sequel. The production house wanted the veteran actor's film to dominate theaters without competition.
The high-energy number celebrates family bonds and highlights each member's role in keeping households together. Akhanda 2 eventually hit screens after clearing some last-minute financial issues.
Farah Khan explained she found the college setting for Main Hoon Na after catching Mera Naam Joker on television and tracking down the St. Paul's School location in Darjeeling. The choreographer-turned-director revealed this during her streaming show while visiting actor-chef Armaan Jain, who happens to be Raj Kapoor's grandson.
Khan mentioned calling someone she referred to as Dabbu to figure out where the iconic school scenes were filmed before spending two days scouting the actual campus. The film reference paid homage to Raj Kapoor's semi-autobiographical project about a clown hiding loneliness behind public performance.
Mera Naam Joker flopped commercially when it dropped, but eventually gained cult status for its emotional depth...
Kareena Kapoor Khan posted behind-the-scenes shots from her crime drama Daayra and wished director Meghna Gulzar a happy birthday on social media. The actor called working with Gulzar one of her most fulfilling experiences, and she praised the filmmaker for being kind and sharp while tackling socially grounded material. The project also features Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Daayra apparently explores ethical dilemmas and systemic corruption instead of typical courtroom setups. Gulzar previously directed Talvar, Raazi, and Sam Bahadur with the same restrained style.
Kapoor said the collaboration marks her first time working with Gulzar on a morally complex role that digs into justice and power dynamics.
Director Prahlad Kakkar weighed in after composer Vishal Dadlani roasted Parliament for spending ten hours debating Vande Mataram while dodging actual problems like unemployment and inflation. Kakkar told reporters that politicians gonna politic, and symbolic controversies are just part of the leadership game.
Dadlani had pointed out that the discussion burned through taxpayer money at around 2.5 lakh rupees per minute without addressing healthcare, education, or economic issues. His sarcastic take suggested governance and citizen welfare matter more than forcing patriotic slogans on everyone.
The whole situation highlighted ongoing tension between cultural nationalism and constitutional freedoms, with some people backing Dadlani's...
Director Manikandan Anandan finished shooting his romantic thriller starring Ashok Selvan and Nimisha Sajayan, with the production houses Million Dollar Studios and Vels Film International confirming the wrap. The project apparently cost more than most of Selvan's previous work and takes place mostly during nighttime sequences across Chennai and nearby areas.
The team grabbed composer Dhibu Ninan Thomas for the soundtrack, cinematographer Pushparaj Santhosh behind the camera, and editor Bharath Vikraman cutting the footage. National award-winning makeup artist Pattanam Rasheed joined the crew along with sound designer Udayakumar from Sound Vibe Studios.
Post-production kicked off right after they wrapped filming, and the flick still...
Timothée Chalamet pranked TV host Trisha Goddard after she asked for a quick photo when they crossed paths in Central London. The actor grabbed her phone and said he'd handle the shot better, but then deliberately angled the camera so his face was barely visible and covered most of it with his hand before rushing off to appear on The Graham Norton Show.
Goddard posted the botched selfie online and laughed about getting totally played by the 29-year-old star. Her followers found the whole situation hilarious, with some joking that Chalamet should have been asking her for a photo instead.
The Oscar-nominated performer is getting the Spotlight Actor of the Year Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival for playing a...
The team behind Ustaad Bhagat Singh says 100,000 Pawan Kalyan fans will drop the lyric sheet for Dekhlenge Saala by answering quiz questions on the official website before the track hits streaming platforms. Director Harish Shankar and production house Mythri Movie Makers are calling this fan-driven rollout a totally new approach for Telugu cinema promotions.
The action flick wrapped its climax sequence months back despite Kalyan juggling his Deputy Chief Minister duties in Andhra Pradesh alongside movie commitments. Sreeleela plays opposite him in the project, which has Devi Sri Prasad handling music and Ayananka Bose shooting cinematography.
The lyric sheet drops once entries hit six figures, and the full single lands later that...
Karan Tacker leads the Amazon MX Player series Bhay about paranormal investigator Gaurav Tiwari, and critics say his understated acting carries the whole thing. The show ditches cheap jump scares for slow-burn psychological tension that builds through lighting and silence instead of typical Bollywood horror gimmicks.

Director Robbie Grewal apparently handled the real-life subject matter without losing entertainment value, and the technical crew nailed the creepy atmosphere through smart camera work and restrained sound design. Reviewers think the methodical investigation approach works even for people who think ghost hunting is nonsense...
