Taking a quick look back at the last twenty-five years shows some serious star power got launched. The century kicked off with Hrithik Roshan exploding onto the scene in 2000, setting a new standard with films like Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and later the Krish franchise. That same debut year also introduced Abhishek Bachchan, who found his niche in ensemble hits like the Dhoom series. Shahid Kapoor followed a few years later, winning audiences over in movies from Jab We Met to Kabir Singh.
The late 2000s brought Ranbir Kapoor, who quickly proved his range in everything from Wake Up Sid to Barfi. Ranveer Singh arrived with infectious energy in 2010, building a filmography filled with big swings like Bajirao Mastani and Gully Boy. Ayushmann...
Talk about a catastrophic legal L for a Ugandan tycoon. Businessman Mukesh Shukla, also called Shumuk, just got hit with a court order to pay a staggering 14 billion shillings for illegally holding onto 24 condominium units in Kampala's Shumuk House. High Court judge Stephen Mubiru ruled that Shukla and his companies had no right to occupy those units, which were legitimately bought by two other men, Joseph Sempebwa and Peter Lule. The judge found Shukla was not a bona fide purchaser, meaning he should have known about the prior claims. Shukla must now fork over around 13.7 billion shillings in mesne profits to Sempebwa, plus another 211 million for monthly damages on 13 units until he vacates next year, and an extra 50 million to Lule...
Big fuss about the new tax laws, so the National Assembly is backtracking to check its own paperwork. They confirmed an internal review is happening right now for four major acts: the Nigeria Tax Act, the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, the Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria Establishment Act, and the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act. Public debate had blown up over which versions of the bills got passed, sent to the president, and finally published, prompting director Bullah Audu Bi-Allah to release a statement. The legislature claims everything is still within its constitutional lane, just a procedural check.
They are basically auditing their own process from harmonization to gazetting. The Clerk of the National Assembly got...
The dude is finally going away for a long, long time over that 1MDB mess. Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak just got slammed with a 15-year prison sentence and a mind-boggling 11.4 billion ringgit fine, with a default add-on of 40 more years, after a High Court judge found him guilty on all 25 counts tied to laundering and abusing power for 2.3 billion ringgit from the state fund. The ruling from Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah stated that the defense for the 72-year-old Najib simply did not raise a reasonable doubt. Najib is already locked up in Kajang Prison for a separate conviction involving SRC International, where his sentence was later reduced to six years.
This whole saga was a marathon. It kicked off with charges back...

The whole game changed when the gatekeepers lost their keys. Creator Bhuvan Bam argued the biggest shift in entertainment is pure access, saying Bollywood felt like a closed club before digital platforms broke down the walls. He noted that audiences now join a project's journey from the very beginning, not just watching the final product. Their ability to switch between phone screens and theater seats, between short videos and full movies, genuinely surprised him. This active participation, with people reacting and responding in real time, pushes creators toward more honest and fearless work. Bam first gained attention with a music video he sang in 2016, followed by others like Sang Hoon Tere.
He launched a popular digital interview...
Movies don't have to shout anymore, and that's a good thing. Actress Wamiqa Gabbi thinks the biggest change in film over recent decades is simply the space created for quieter, nuanced storytelling. She noted that narratives now can focus on flawed characters and emotions that do not need to be loud to resonate. While technology expanded reach, the real shift for her is trust from audiences who accept complexity and slow-burn performances. Gabbi started with a small childhood role in the film Jab We Met before becoming a lead in Punjabi cinema with movies like Nikka Zaildar 2. She later worked on Tamil and Malayalam projects.
Her recent appearance was in the fantasy comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf with Rajkummar Rao. Upcoming work includes the...
