Director Seema Desai’s film about a elderly couple in the town of perfumes, Kannauj, trying to fob off the stink of decay in their 23-year-old marriage, has everything going for it: a solid cast, for one. Ashutosh Rana and Sheeba Chadha, two durable dependables of the entertainment world, struggle hard to overcome the listlessness at the heart of the plot.

Chaddha and Rana have their moments—how can they not?! But the projection of a fractured marriage remains largely frayed and feeble right to the predictable end.

Fine young actor Pavail Gulati plays the couple’s absentee son, Yug, who returns home to cement his parents’ splintered marriage. Gulati, too, pitches in with a sincere performance but fails to lift the end product from the morass of languorousness. Yug’s workplace and his friends at work seem like caricatures moonlighting as professionals.

There is no dearth of good intention...

Festival Fortunes

India’s 2025 box office kicked off in high gear, powered by a Sankranthi holiday-fueled Telugu-language onslaught that pushed local grosses past the INR10.13 billion ($116.6 million) mark. Leading the charge was “Sankranthiki Vasthunam,” starring Venkatesh, a genre-bending blockbuster that towered over the month’s chart with a commanding $23 million haul.

Per Ormax Media, January’s Indian local gross, not counting overseas numbers, was bolstered by three Telugu juggernauts – “Sankranthiki Vasthunam,” “Game Changer,” and “Daaku Maharaaj” – which collectively amassed over $55 million) The trio’s dominance ensured Telugu cinema accounted for a staggering 44% of the month’s box office share.

The success of “Sankranthiki Vasthunam” underscores Telugu cinema’s continued stranglehold on Sankranthi, a peak season that routinely delivers high-octane performers. The film, which defied genre conventions, resonated strongly with audiences, proving that festival season remains fertile ground for Telugu tentpoles. Normally, Tamil-language cinema also roars during this period, with the...

A day ahead of her daughter Nysa’s 21st birthday, actress Kajol on Friday penned an adorable note about her motherhood journey, saying how her baby makes her grateful and awed by her love, and unflinching support.

Kajol is married to superstar Ajay Devgn. They tied the knot in February 1999. The couple has two children — daughter Nysa and son Yug.

Taking to the social media, Kajol dropped an unseen throwback picture featuring little Nysa wearing a green frock and sitting on her mother’s lap.

Actor Manit Joura has opened up on playing the complex character Yug in the show ‘Pyaar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan’, and the preparations involved in depicting the character’s extreme mood swings and intensity.

Following a recent seven-year leap, the storyline steers into uncharted territories for Radha and Mohan, played by Neeharika Roy and Shabir Ahluwalia, respectively.

The star-crossed lovers are no longer together. Radha is seen in an all-new avatar, living as Radhika Kohli in South Delhi along with her son Manan and husband Yug Kohli (played by Manit), in a world detached and distant from Mohan’s reality.

In recent episodes, viewers have observed a noticeable shift in Yug’s behaviour. From a loving, caring husband to a totally unhinged person, leaving viewers worried for Radha.

While he initially came off as a ‘green flag’, Yug has begun demonstrating streaks of controlling behaviour, possessiveness, and toxic chauvinism.

Mumbai, March 24 (Ians) Actors Rrahul Sudhir and Mishkat Varma have shared about their ‘favourite’ festival — Holi, revealing how as a kid they used to wear old clothes and splash water balloons, and colours in their respective neighbourhoods.

Rrahul, portraying the character of Yug in the show ‘Dabangii Mulgii Aayi Re Aayi’ shared: “Holi was always one of my favourite festivals while growing up. It felt like stepping into a vibrant painting, filled with laughter and joy. While I was a child, every year, in the morning, my friends and I couldn’t wait to start our colourful adventures – we’d splash water balloons.”

“And, one of my most fondest memories is when I used to go back home I would gorge on some gujiyas and thandai made by my mum. We’d sit together, sharing stories and basking in the glow of the day’s festivities. These memories are so precious to me,...
