If 100 million views made noise, 200 million is an all-out roar. Jio Studios & B62 Studios’ Dhurandhar, helmed by Aditya Dhar, has doubled its digital impact in record time, crossing 200 million cumulative views across platforms in just under seven days. The high-octane first look, powered by Ranveer Singh’s fierce new avatar and Dhar’s signature intensity, is now officially one of the fastest-rising promos in recent Indian cinema.

The Dhurandhar first look has stormed past 200 million views, led by Jio Studios and B62 Studios massive 141M on Instagram and YouTube in just 6 days, making it one of the fastest-moving first looks in recent memory.The initial first look, fronted by a brooding Singh in a look that’s caught nearly everyone off guard, has done more than just introduce a film. It’s set the internet ablaze. Singh’s raw energy paired with Dhar’s sharp direction has left audiences and fans dissecting every frame,...

Produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment, the Netflix romcom “Aap Jaisa Koi” channels the energy of yesterday’s leftovers. But, boy, does it present itself in a meticulously designed plate. Fortunately for director Vivek Soni, style does go a long way when it comes to cinema. Style, itself, could very well be substance. It is only in that spirit, one can find joy in this otherwise middling affair. “Aap Jaisa Koi,” starring R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh, has a strong resemblance to “Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” Karan Johar’s bigger and more boisterous blockbuster from two years ago. It is director Vivek Soni’s unique visual language that salvages, nay, elevates, this generic, more middling version of the same film.

Like “Rocky aur Rani,” “Aap Jaisa Koi” balances itself as a romantic escapade amidst a gargantuan clash of the opposites. Shrirenu Tripathi (Madhavan) is a forty-something Sanskrit teacher in Jamshedpur.

Since this is a Karan Johar production, there are bound to be people who deserve love in each other’s company. Shrinenu Tirupathi and Madhu Bose are Ashok Kumar and Madhubala, Sanskrit and French, or maybe Jamshedpur and Kolkata, the two cities that Vivek Soni’s souffle-biryani travels through.

Srinu and Madhu are not as young as Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor in Nadaaniyaan (and definitely not that foolish) , though not as old as Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi in Rocky Are Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

Shrinenu and Madhu are… one of their kind, not exactly made for each other. It is their determination to find a common ground that makes this the “cute girl, nerdy boy asli romcom”.

The bang-on description comes from the film’s excellent dialogue writers. The conversations sound lived-in and… well, if not a hundred percent real then close . The characters whip up a constant bustle without crowding the canvas.

Netflix has released its latest feature film, “Aap Jaisa Koi,” a romantic drama starring R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The film explores the relationship that develops between two people from vastly different worlds.

The Heart of the Story

The narrative centers on Shrirenu Tripathi (Madhavan), a reserved and traditional Sanskrit teacher from Jamshedpur, and Madhu Bose (Shaikh), a spirited and independent French instructor. Shrirenu, raised in a rigid, patriarchal family, finds his worldview challenged when he falls for Madhu, who believes in speaking her mind and objects to systemic rules placed on women. The film follows the collision of their two contrasting ideologies as they navigate family expectations and their own conditioning. The story moves beyond typical romantic tropes to explore what true compatibility looks like, questioning modern relationships and the search for love rooted in equality, or “barabari wala pyaar”. It also delves into the theme of loneliness in a hyper-connected world.

Ranveer Singh’s Fierce Glimpse & Arjun Rampal’s Rugged Avatar Steal the Spotlight in Dhurandhar ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

The first look of Dhurandhar, the upcoming action-thriller from Aditya Dhar, has been unveiled, and it’s already generating discussion for its gritty tone and an ensemble cast that brings together several seasoned actors. Among the names drawing attention is Arjun Rampal, who appears in a distinctly raw, rugged look that stands apart from his past film roles.

Arjun Rampal Teases Gritty Role, Praises Ranveer Singh’s Bold New Look

Arjun Rampal’s character is shown with a heavy grey beard, gold tooth, metallic sunglasses, and a visibly tough demeanor. While not much has been revealed about his role, the visual cues suggest a morally complex character placed within a high-stakes narrative.

The actor also took a moment to share his thoughts on Ranveer Singh’s appearance in the teaser, hinting at...

Who Is Sara Arjun, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Co-Star? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Aditya Dhar’s next big-screen venture Dhurandhar promises to be one of the most ambitious action thrillers in recent years. Backed by a formidable ensemble including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna and Arjun Rampal, the film is being positioned as a large-scale espionage drama with global scope and stylized intensity.

Another reason for the movie’s buzz is Sara Arjun, who is announced as the female lead opposite Ranveer Singh. The announcement sparked immediate conversation due to the significant age gap between her and her co-star. For some, the name triggered memories. For others, it prompted a question: who exactly is Sara Arjun? Far from being an unknown, Sara has been in the industry for over a decade, albeit mostly outside the Hindi film mainstream. With Dhurandhar, she’s now stepping into a much wider spotlight.

The screen didn’t just flicker with images; it sparked a feeling of something grander—something that had slipped through the cracks of memory. On July 6, 2025, Ranveer Singh celebrated his 40th birthday, but instead of the usual party snaps or introspective posts, he unleashed a whirlwind. The teaser for Dhurandhar wasn’t your run-of-the-mill birthday shout-out. It was a soft murmur wrapped in flames, a nod to tales that never found their way into history books. These are the stories that unfold in shadowy hallways, under assumed identities, for a nation that struggles to express its gratitude loudly enough.

In the teaser, Ranveer doesn’t embody the typical hero. He looks worn, weathered, and silent, dressed in a quiet that speaks volumes more than any script could. His rugged beard and battle-scarred eyes tell tales of years spent in the shadows. There’s no flashiness, no grand proclamations—just a deliberate,...

Aditya Dhar To Drop Dhurandhar First Look On Ranveer Singh’s Birthday? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Filmmaker Aditya Dhar planned to celebrate Ranveer Singh’s birthday this year with a jaw-dropping surprise involving their upcoming collaboration, Dhurandhar, before things took a turn. The director secretly prepared to unveil a special unit of the highly anticipated film as a surprise for the leading man on his birthday.

However, word got out, and Ranveer learned of Aditya’s plans. The actor then checked with Aditya to verify the news. While the director initially attempted to dodge the question, he ended up admitting the plan after being relentlessly pursued by Ranveer. However, he also asked the Bajirao Mastani star to trust him and requested that he patiently wait for the official first look unveiling of the movie.

Ranveer Singh Is Yet To See The Final Cut Of Dhurandhar First Look

Inside sources revealed that...

The biggest pleasure in Maa (Mother) is watching Kajol kick ass.

While the actor has spent over three decades playing everything from the girl every boy wanted to take home to mother (as Simran in Diwale Dulhania Le Jayenge) to a straight-up unhinged villain (as Isha in Gupt), we’ve rarely seen her in action mode.

Here, she becomes the savior mom — think Liam Neeson in Taken, except that since Maa is billed as mythological horror, the saving is done in a creepy hamlet near Kolkata, India, called Chandanpur. When a demon called Doito comes after her 12-year-old daughter Shweta (Kherin Sharma), Kajol’s Ambika transforms into fire and brimstone.

Maa is the second entry in the shared universe that began with 2024’s Shaitaan, at the end of which Kabir (Ajay Devgn, a producer on Maa) comments, “If you want to understand the real meaning of strength, watch a mother fight for her child.

India, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Swades, and Veer-Zaara, among others.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Trailer Review Ft Vikrant Massey & Shanaya Kapoor! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Shanaya Kapoor is here for the world to showcase her acting talent in her Bollywood debut, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Indeed, lucky are those who can begin their career with a talented and natural star like Vikrant Massey. The official trailer was unveiled minutes ago, and below is our detailed review.

Decoding Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan trailer

The 2-minute and 39-second-long trailer begins on an intriguing note as Vikrant Massey aka Jahan and ‘Saba’ Shanaya Kapoor scream their lungs out. This one is a unique story. There weren’t many giveaways about the storyline, but all we know is that it’s a love triangle. The adorable chemistry between the leading pair already makes you root for them in this romance battle. It’s a roller-coaster ride of emotions, and you may laugh during the first second and get emotional the very next second.

R Madhavan Love Story ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

R Madhavan, also popularly called Maddy, is not only a hero of the silver screen but is also someone who has an off-screen love story to narrate. Much before he became an actor and gained appreciation for his performances in movies like Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein and Tanu Weds Manu, the journey of love had already begun for him in a classroom.

When A Teacher Fell In Love With A Student

Before entering the film world, R Madhavan completed his electronics engineering and even aimed to join the Indian Army. However, due to age limits, that didn’t work out, so he turned to teaching communication and personality development classes across India.

During one such class in Kolhapur, Sarita, who was training to become an air hostess, joined his course. After being shortlisted in her airline interview, she felt Madhavan’s instruction had served her well.

What happens when a quiet 42-year-old man unlocks a part of himself he never knew existed — and begins to rewrite the rules of his own life? Netflix has dropped the trailer for Aap Jaisa Koi (loosely translated as “Someone Like You”), starring R. Madhavan as Shrirenu Tripathi and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Madhu Bose, a heartwarming family drama that celebrates connection, companionship, and the beauty of discovering ‘Barabari Wala Pyaar’ in the most unexpected circumstances.

Set across the distinct worlds of Jamshedpur and Kolkata, the film follows Shrirenu, a man shaped by habit and tradition, as he begins to re-examine long-held beliefs about masculinity, companionship, and emotional expression. In Madhu, a spirited woman who refuses to shrink herself to fit societal moulds, he finds not just a romantic partner, but a mirror to his own conditioning. As the two navigate family expectations, emotional baggage, and the weight of societal conditioning,...

These Indian Horror Movies Outrank Kajol’s Maa on IMDb — And They’re Streaming Now

Kajol’s horror film Maa was released in theatres yesterday. At the time of writing, the movie holds an IMDb rating of 6.3/10. If you are interested in the horror genre, we have shortlisted a few Indian horror movies that have a higher IMDb rating than Maa. These films are available to stream on popular Indian Ott platforms. (Viewer discretion is advised.)

1. Tumbbad Year of Release – 2018 Director – Rahi Anil Barve IMDb Rating – 8.2/10 Streaming On – Amazon Prime Video

Plot: The period horror movie is set in the early 20th Century in the cursed village of Tumbbad. The story follows a man named Vinayak Rao (played by Sohum Shah), whose unending greed takes him back to his village in search of a hidden ancestral treasure. But to escape from poverty and claim the treasure, he must face the...

Kajol, regarded as one of the best actresses of the post-Azmi generation, delivers a borderline anti-empathetic performance in a horror film that should have never been made. It just doesn’t justify its presence in any way.

It is a mother-daughter empathetic story, but the actress seems to be disconnected from her screen daughter. I remember Manisha Koirala telling me that she didn’t know the name of the boy who was her immediate co-star, even after shooting the entire film.

Did Kajol even know the name of the young girl (Kherin Sharma) playing her daughter? Does this mother really care what happens to her daughter? When the architects of this poorly constructed mother-daughter mound of hysteria don’t care, why should anyone else?

Maa, directed by Vishal Furian (his Chhichore wasn’t exactly The Exorcist) is so not worthy of Kajol that you wonder why she agreed to...

They fall in love, and everything is nice unless the families or let me be specific – ‘family values’ get involved!

Aamir Khan Films ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Aamir Khan’s latest release Sitaare Zameen Par is now playing in theatres and is being admired by critics and audiences. It remains to be seen whether it becomes the hit film the perfectionist actor has been waiting for. Over the years, the celebrated star has delivered many stellar performances. But when it comes to films that have scored the highest on Rotten Tomatoes, three stand out above the rest. Many might assume they’re Lagaan, Dangal, or Taare Zameen Par. Interestingly, that’s not the case. Read on to find out which three Aamir Khan movies have a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Pankaj Tripathi In Criminal Justice 4(Photo Credit –Jio Hotstar)

Pankaj Tripathi, aka Madhav Mishra, emerges once again as the beloved small-town attorney in the fourth season of Criminal Justice: A Family Matter. The narrative depicts Madhav Mishra defending Raj Nagpal (played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) in a murder case involving the death of his girlfriend Roshni Saluja (played by Asha Negi).

The storyline leads viewers through a dramatic maze of family secrets, emotional trauma, and dramatic courtroom fights. So far, with five episodes out, viewers are anticipating episode six, which releases on June 19, 2025.

Tripathi’s Fee Takes A Big Leap

Given the series’ immense popularity, Pankaj Tripathi has reportedly increased his fee significantly. According to HerZindagi, the actor, who previously charged ₹4 crores per season, might have taken home around ₹10 crores for Season 4. And honestly, fans aren’t surprised—Madhav Mishra has become one of the most iconic characters in Indian Ott courtroom dramas.

Panchayat season 4 ( Photo Credit – Prime Video )

Panchayat is widely regarded as one of the best Indian web series of recent times. After three much-loved seasons, viewers are now waiting with bated breath for the arrival of Panchayat Season 4, which is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on June 24, 2025. Interestingly, many fans describe Panchayat as a modern version of a beloved Indian television series from the past. We are talking about Shankar Nag’s Malgudi Days, the iconic 1980s series based on R.K. Narayan’s short stories. And here’s why Panchayat is delightfully reminiscent of Malgudi Days.

Why Panchayat Reminds Us Of Malgudi Days?

Both Panchayat and Malgudi Days mostly follow an episodic narrative structure, where each episode tells a self-contained story. For instance, Panchayat explores various village issues such as a haunted tree, a local wedding, an anti-alcoholism campaign, CCTV installation, toilet construction, road development efforts, etc. Similarly,...

Aap Jaisa Koi Is Not Your Typical Love Story (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Netflix is bringing an unconventional love story to its viewers this July. Aap Jaisa Koi, starring R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh, is all set to stream from July 11, 2025, offering a fresh take on love, relationships, and companionship across generations.

Old-School Meets Modern: A Love Story Of Equals

Set against a modern yet emotionally rooted backdrop, Aap Jaisa Koi introduces viewers to Shrirenu (played by R. Madhavan), a quiet and traditional Sanskrit teacher, and Madhu (Fatima Sana Shaikh), a lively and independent French instructor. Their paths cross in unexpected ways, leading to a connection that defies societal norms and age-old expectations.

Instead of relying on the usual tropes of romance, the film leans into emotional complexity — portraying love as something that grows through shared vulnerabilities, personal rediscovery, and the courage to unlearn past patterns. It’s a story...

3 Reasons Why Maa Is The Feminist Horror Film Bollywood Was Waiting For (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The trailer of the Kajol starrer supernatural film, Maa has managed to command the attention of the masses and how! The movie showcases the veteran actress playing a mother who is ready to lock horns with the supernatural forces to save her child. By the looks of it, the movie also explores the folklore of the Bengal-based supernatural force Daitya. Here are 3 reasons why we feel that the movie could be the hard-hitting intense feminist film that Bollywood was actually waiting for.

Kajol’s Performance

Trust Kajol to curate any magic with any project she is attached to. And Maa, seems to be no different. Her character battles it out with a demonized supernatural force that has seemingly targeted her child. The actress exudes the power, intensity, fire and also the vulnerability of a parent...

Ssmb 29 marks the first collaboration between blockbuster director SS Rajamouli and Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu. As a result, the hype surrounding the project is enormous. Currently, the film is in its third schedule in Hyderabad. The previous two major schedules took place in Hyderabad and Odisha, respectively. This film is one of the most ambitious projects in India, with a reported production budget of Inr 1000 crores. However, one aspect that has been heavily kept under wraps is the film’s plot. The only detail known so far is that it will be a jungle adventure. But now, a rumoured plot synopsis has surfaced.

What’s The Plot Of SSMB29?

Rajamouli previously confirmed that the film is inspired by the Hollywood franchise Indiana Jones. Building on that adventurous spirit, director S. S. Rajamouli and his father, veteran screenwriter K. V. Vijayendra Prasad,...

SS Rajamouli’s Next Film With Mahesh Babu Had Chiyaan Vikram In Mind ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The simple answer to whether Vikram turned down an opportunity to work with SS Rajamouli is yes—he did, according to 123 Telugu. But the real question we should ask is: was it a wise decision?

Before diving into that, let’s look at what transpired. The makers of SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s collaborative project, tentatively titled SSMB29, approached Tamil actor Chiyaan Vikram to play a role, not as a cameo or a supporting character, But in a negative avatar.

However, Vikram, who currently plays protagonist roles in Tamil films, was reportedly not ready to take on a negative role at this stage in his career, so he declined the offer politely.

Madhavan revisits Tanu Weds Manu Returns with Subhash K Jha as the Aanand L Rai directed film celebrates 10 years.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns takes us into the turbulence and terror of a stagnant marriage, stripping in the process all the tragic solemnity of Basu Bhattacharya’s Aavishkar. My favourite scene of domestic discord has not Madhavan but his screen father trying to explain to his son why a marriage must be kept going even as his wife nags incessantly in the background. The violent conclusion to this sequence typifies Aanand Rai’s incredibly powerful grip over the grammar of satirical drama.

Rai can shock even as we laugh our heads off. I purposely bring up Aavishkar, as it is the only film on marital discord that captures the boredom of a couple who can’t stand each other anymore. Rajesh Khanna looks contemptuously at Sharmila Tagore and says, “Before marriage,...

Kesari 2 Box Office Collection

Court room drama film Kesari 2, in which Akshay Kumar is again praised in the role of patriotic. The film, made under the banner of Dharma Production, is based on the story of Jallianwala Bagh massacre, in which Akshay Kumar, Madhavan, Ananya Pandey in an important role, whose performance has been fantastic on the big screen.

Abhishek Bachchan revisits 21 Years of his romantic action drama Run with Subhash K Jha.

What makes this Tamil-to-Hindi adaptation nominally watchable is the way director Jeeva treats the very old and very predictable story of a headstrong boy from a semi-hick town who falls in love in the metro with the coy and simpering sister of a monstrously possessive gangster who, we are told, chops off a boy’s limb for teasing his precious sister.

“Tum ho hi aisi. Would you prefer girls to tease you? Any boy would do what my son did,” says the limbless boy’s hot-blooded dad.

Sanskar, as you can see, isn’t high on this film’s list of priorities. In fact, a whole commodious parallel subplot featuring the insufferably aggressive Vijay Raaz runs through the main love story. Raaz calls his screen dad (Anjan Shrivastava) every name from a boozard to a smelly skunk.

Turning 21 this week is Shyam Benegal’s biopic Netajji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero. Sachin Khedekar, who turns 60 today, talks with Subhas K Jha on playing the lead character Subhas Chandra Bose.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose has always been a controversial figure. Filmmakers have shied away from delving too deep into Netaji’s life.

Not Shyam Benegal. In 2014 he made a brave if flawed bio-pic on Netaji entitled Netajji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero. The story goes that media baron Subrato Roy commissioned Shyam Benegal to make the best-possible bio-pic on Netaji, budget unlimited.

“So how much do you think you will need to do full justice to Netaji?” the millionaire wondered aloud.

“10 crores?” Benegal whose budgets had never gone beyond 5 crores, ventured boldly.

“Take 60. But give me a bio-pic on Netaji that will never be forgotten,” Subrato offered.

Benegal who had never known such a budget just...

In a film industry obsessed with noise, Ankith Madhav is quietly building a reputation for precision. Whether it’s the clipped authority of Yogesh Yadav in Kannur Squad or the understated intensity in Richie Mehta’s Poacher, there’s something strikingly deliberate about the way he moves through roles—like an actor who knows the power of restraint.

Originally based in Mumbai before the pandemic, Ankith now works largely out of Kochi. It’s a geographical shift that’s gone unnoticed by many, especially after Kannur Squad positioned him convincingly as a North Indian officer. For audiences and casting directors alike, his fluency in Hindi and body language lent an authenticity that blurred lines between actor and character.

“I still get messages asking if I’m from outside Kerala,” Ankit Madhav says with a half-smile, but there’s no frustration—just the quiet satisfaction of a performance that convinced.

Indian Cop Films Streaming On Netflix(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Earlier this month, Sailesh Kolanu’s cop action thriller Hit: The Third Case, aka Hit 3, starring Nani in the lead role, hit the big screens. In case you have already watched the film and are looking for some highly rated cop movies to watch on Ott, then you have come to the right place. We have collated a list of some of the highest-rated Indian cop-centric films where the protagonist is a cop, according to their IMDb ratings. For this list, we have mainly included relatively newer films, barring a few exceptions. You can stream these films on various Indian Ott platforms.

10. Nayattu (Release Year – 2021) Available On: Netflix IMDb Rating: 8/10 Plot: The film’s story revolves around three cops, who are forced to run to escape arrest, after the death of a young man just before the elections. But on...

Netflix is all about bringing great stories to your screen, and the Apac Film Showcase in Tokyo that took place on April 21 was no exception. With a commitment to partnering with the region’s most exciting filmmaking voices, Netflix is set to deliver a slate of films this year that capture the local authenticity of Asia-Pacific storytelling. The event showcased projects from Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea as well as announcing new projects from India.

Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director of Original Films for India, unveiled three vibrant films that celebrate the stories closest to the hearts of Indian audiences. With a focus on collaboration and storytelling that transcends borders, she offered exclusive sneak peeks of Aap Jaisa Koi (Someone Like You), a heartwarming romantic comedy that stars R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Sheik, and the newly announced Inspector Zende, an entertaining crime drama featuring Manoj Bajpayee and Jim Sarbh.

The cinemas remained largely empty in April. In spite of claims by the producers to the contrary, the Sunny Deol actioner Jaat ultimately dived deep into deficit. According to an insider, the amount the project has lost is substantial enough to make the producer reconsider plans for the sequel.

In all fairness, Jaat was not as unwatchable as some of the other recent actioners this year, claiming bums on the seat when there were none. Not only did Sunny Deol make a credible one-man army in Jaat he was also very funny, when he was allowed to be. His entire war against the evil forces(Randeep Hooda , Vineet Kumar, and other unidentifiable hoodlums) hinged on one man not saying sorry for messing up his meal. That spilt sambar at the roadside dhaba eventuated in gallons of spilt blood .

This could have served a terrific trigger point for a comedy. Sadly,...

Indian actor Aamir Khan has delivered many memorable performances during his illustrious forty-year acting career.
