Aditya Dhar's spy thriller Dhurandhar starring Ranveer Singh has politicians beefing over whether the flick is government propaganda or just showing terrorism as it actually went down. The movie covers major attacks like the Parliament assault and the 26/11 Mumbai bombings, and some Gulf countries apparently blocked it from screening.
BJP reps told reporters the film just depicts real events, and people need to chill about connecting everything to religion. Congress and Samajwadi Party members pushed back hard, saying the project feels like it got influenced by the ruling party's talking points instead of staying independent.
The opposition wants someone to investigate why multiple countries banned it, while government supporters...
Neil Nitin Mukesh stopped by Ahmedabad and told reporters he thinks India will hit its development goals way ahead of the 2047 target that marks 100 years since independence. The Bollywood actor says young Indians are grinding hard, staying innovative, and constantly reinventing themselves instead of just copying trends from other countries.
Mukesh gave props to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for pumping up the youth's confidence about building a self-reliant nation. He mentioned wanting to connect with Modi's vision and possibly throw some investment money behind it.

Singer Benny Dayal teamed up with Dallas-based producer Ayaz Ismail on a new track called Chahe Jaan Le, and he says the rhythm-and-blues vibe felt totally different from typical Bollywood stuff. Dayal mentioned the melody hit him right away because it had this stripped-down quality that let him mess around with different vocal textures during recording.
The track apparently sits in the neo-soul lane, mixing blues and R&B elements that Dayal claims were missing from his previous work. He explained that Ismail gave him total creative control and actually wrote the song with his voice in mind from the start.
Dayal said he deliberately picks varied material because people assume he only does upbeat party songs, and he wants to show he...

Kavita Krishnamurthy and Shreya Ghoshal surprised viewers during Indian Idol when they performed Dola Re Dola together on set. The track originally appeared in Devdas with Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit, and Shreya admitted she felt terrified recording with Kavita the first time around since the veteran singer basically mentored her through the whole thing.
The song required over 100 musicians during the original session, which made it one of the toughest projects Shreya tackled early in her career. Both artists have stacked awards over the years, with Shreya grabbing five National Film Awards and Kavita earning a Padmashri back in 2005.
The show streams on Sony LIV for people who want to catch the full episode.
