Nikkhil Advani’ s Vedaa is arguably his best work to date. It is hard-edged and steely, what with John Abraham playing a rustic mumbling Rambo on a revenge trail that leaves many maimed and killed.

By the end of this breathless romp into the ruins, which ends in the plundered corridors of a courthouse(order order indeed!) , we are left with a feeling of rage.

Vedaa will leave you angry at the end, angry that such injustice still prevails in our land. That Dalits are disallowed their basic rights by kangaroo courts run by a mofussil mafia. In the film, Abhishek Banerjee and his screen uncle Ashish Vidyarthi strut around as a law unto themselves. Those who fail to comply are given a “suitable” punishment.

All this may seem like outdated theatrics to those who live far away from rural (read: real) India. But the heartland still beats to the rhythm of brutal injustice.

It is with deep sorrow that we report the passing of Tishaa Kumar, the 21-year-old daughter of former Bollywood actor Krishan Kumar. Tishaa succumbed to cancer after a long and courageous battle, despite receiving treatment in Germany and extensive care. She passed away in the hospital on July 18, 2024.

Tishaa’s death is a profound loss for the Kumar family. In a statement, a spokesperson from T-Series expressed their grief and requested privacy for the family during this difficult time.

Krishan Kumar, who gained fame for his role in the 1995 film “Bewafa Sanam,” is also known for his work with T-Series, India’s largest music production company. He is the younger brother of the late Gulshan Kumar, a pivotal figure in the Indian music industry, and son of Chandrabhan, a fruit seller who migrated to Delhi following the partition of India. Krishan Kumar is married to Tanya Singh, the daughter of music composer Ajit Singh.

A day after his deepfake video went viral on the internet, criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi over unemployment and inflation, actor Ranveer Singh has reacted to it, saying, ”deepfake se bacho dostonnnn”.

An AI-generated video of the ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ actor shows him endorsing the Congress for the Lok Sabha polls.

The video is originally from the actor’s recent visit to Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, along with Kriti Sanon for Manish Malhotra’s fashion show at Namo Ghat.

In the deepfake video, we can hear Ranveer’s altered voice, saying, “Modi ji ka purpose yahi hai, unka uddesh yahi tha ki wo celebrate kare hamara dukhi jeevan, hamari berozgaari, or hamari mehengai ko. Kyunki jo bharatvarsh hai wo anyay kaal ki taraf aise badh rahe hain, itni speed se badh rahe hain, lekin hame hamare vikas or nyay ko maangna kabhi nahi bhoolna chahiye.”

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who was last seen in ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, is taking action against a fake advertisement by a political party.

The actor has filed an Fir with Mumbai Police against a fake Congress advertisement. The said advertisement has a deep fake video of the Bollywood superstar created by artificial intelligence, and it targets the ruling Bjp over their promise of Rs 15 lakh in the account of every citizen.

Hindi cinema is filled with movies that cater to the theme of patriotism. In the last few years, many films in this genre have taken over the theater and Ott platforms. Shershaah, Sardar Udham, Uri: The Surgical Strike, Kesari, Bhuj: The Pride of India, Parmanu, Baby, and Satyamev Jayate. Only a few films could tap into genuine patriotism, while the rest were loud and jingoistic, with little to nothing to offer in the emotional sector or storytelling aspect. Tejas is one such film that could be included in the latter group. There is nothing beyond Kangana’s decent performance that sustains the film for two hours. The movie is the story of an Air Force officer who becomes a part of a mission to save an Indian soldier held captive in a hostile country.

Mumbai, July 2 (Ians) Bracing himself for another geo-political drama, actor John Abraham is geared up to star in his new film ‘The Diplomat’, which now has booked a release date of January 11, 2024.

Based on a true story, John is set to play a high-ranking government official in ‘The Diplomat’ with the movie poised to take viewers on a roller coaster ride of high-octane drama filled with tension and suspense.

On Saturday, June 3, Husain, 66, passed on, leaving behind a legacy of memorable stage productions.

He is survived by his wife and creative partner, Viraat Talwar, whom he met when she was a student of Lady Shri Ram College and had come to audition for a play (‘Dangerous Liaison’), and their two sons.

If ‘The Fifty Day War’ narrated the Kargil story on a scale that had not been attempted by anyone with an original Indian script on an Indian stage, ‘The Legend of Ram’, which was staged on a smaller scale in 1994, became the gold standard for theatrical spectacles when it was relaunched in 2004.

The production of ‘The Legend of Ram’ involved 19 outdoor sets spread over three acres and a cast of 35 actors playing different characters drawn from the epic, and a 100-member technical crew. The last show was staged in front of the then President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, on...

Mumbai, April 18 (Ians) Actress Kangana Ranaut has shared that Bollywood star Aamir Khan used to be her best friend before her much-talked about legal battle started with actor Hrithik Roshan.

Kangana took to Instagram, where she shared a video of her having a conversation with Aamir on the sets of the TV show ‘Satyamev Jayate’. She also talked about how the ‘Dangal’ star used to guide and mentor her with the choices.

In the clip, Kangana could be seen talking about how she has consciously said no to dance numbers in Bollywood after she witnessed a young girl dancing to an item number.

She added captions: ” “Actually mujhe bhi kabhi kabhi woh din yaad aate hain jab Aamir sir was my best friend… jaane kahan gaye woh din.”

“One thing is for sure that he has mentored me, appreciated me, and shaped a lot of my choices, before Hrithik did that legal case on me.

Dancing sensation Nora Fatehi's career is in a great phase now. Be it the "Dilbar" song in last year's "Satyamev Jayate " or "O saki saki" in "Batla House", Nora has been garnering plaudits for her dancing skills. The scene, however, was different for her a few years ago. She had faced a hard time during her initial days in the industry.

"Life for foreigners in India is difficult. We go through a lot, and people don't even know. They take our money. It's happened to me. I remember my first agency, who got me here from Canada, was really aggressive. I didn't feel like I was guided the right way. So, when I wanted to part ways with them, they told me 'we are not going to give you (back) your money'. I lost 20 lakh at that time, which I had earned working in ad-campaigns," Nora, who hails from Canada,...

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan on Sunday revealed that he and his wife Kiran Rao are down with swine flu.

The "Dangal" actor, along with his wife, were scheduled to attend the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup, organised by their Ngo Paani Foundation, in Pune on Sunday but could only address the attendees via Skype.

Aamir Khan has always raised his voice for greater causes. Through his show Satyamev Jayate, Aamir Khan created waves with his episodes on various issues. Once again, Aamir Khan is making an appeal, and this time it is for the victims of the Gujarat and Assam floods. On Saturday afternoon, Aamir Khan shared a videoRead More

“Dangal” is Disney India’s big Christmas bet, and the Aamir Khan wrestling drama starts strong. The characters are sketched with the kind of patience that can only come from a place of confidence. There are enough crowd-pleasing moments to fill an entire summer blockbuster. The soundtrack is brash and exhilarating; the songs here will dominate many workout playlists in the new year. The social commentary is not subtle, but it is forthright and consistent.

What a shame about that second half. It is rare that a film manages to undo so much of its groundwork so thoroughly in so short a span of time. The creative decisions made here amount to self-sabotage.

Call Aamir Khan a perfectionist, and he’ll lightheartedly brush off the label, preferring to describe himself as simply “passionate” instead. Terminology aside, a mere glance at his 28-year career is ample proof that for Khan, going the extra mile is practically the equivalent of slacking off—the 51-year-old actor, producer, and director usually travels another 10 for good measure.

He did it in 1998’s “Ghulam,” when he turned down a body double or special effects in favor of sprinting towards an oncoming train for a stunt, avoiding it by a mere second and gambling his life for the sake of realism.

In 1999, when a script about 19th century villagers protesting British land tax with a game of cricket was dismissed by every financier in Bollywood, Khan took on his first producing role alongside his acting credit to make the film. Three years of grueling production later, “Lagaan” became the third...

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has taken it upon himself to end the water crisis in his state, Maharashtra, with a competition under his ‘Paani Foundation’.

The acclaimed actor had organised a contest called ‘Satyamev Jayate Water Cup Awards 2016’ through which villagers have saved ‘1368 crore’ litres of water. The amount of water saved is said to be equivalent to Rs 272 crore saved by the state every year.Read More

The impending case against the makers of TV reality show 'Satyamev Jayate' including Aamir Khan over the usage of the Indian emblem has now reached a conclusion. The Bombay High Court has dismissed the petition that was filed against the TV reality show for using 'Satyamev Jayate' as the title which is the motto for our emblem.

Earlier we had reported about a certain Manoranjan Roy filing a petition against Aamir Khan (who is also the producer of the show) along with the broadcasting channel Star India for using the word 'Satyamev Jayate' which is the motto of our emblem under sections 3 and 4 in the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use). However, the Bombay High Court has now quashed the petition and the bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice AA Sayed has dismissed the petition stating that using the motto is not a violation under the Act.

Aamir Khan, who has always extended his support towards varied social causes, has decided to do something for the drought affected regions in Maharashtra. With several Bollywood personalities like Akshay Kumar and Nana Patekar adopting drought affected villages, Aamir too is all set to follow their footsteps.

Aamir Khan will be adopting Tal and Koregaon in order to support the people living in these rural areas and uplift these regions. Interestingly, the superstar even joined hands with Paani Foundation for the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup campaign which aims at water conservation and spreading awareness about the same. He had also visited Beed in Aurangabad along with his team where he expressed his pride over the Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyaan kick started by Maharashtra government for water conservation and also explained about the varied ways to fight drought.

The actor has even done reality chat shows discussing some major issues of the society like rape,...

Just a day ago, the media could not stop gushing about Sunny Leone and her husband Daniel Weber being invited for one of Aamir Khan's bash. However, now we hear that the superstar who kick-started the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup initiative, has invited celebrities from his fraternity for a campaign over water conservation. Recently, we reported that Aamir Khan met the Governor of Maharashtra, Ch Vidyasagar Rao and his wife Vinoda to discuss the matter of water preservation and now the actor has yet another step in the direction and even asked the Governor's opinion on involving celebrities from the Marathi and Bollywood fraternity for a rural campaign. It has been learnt that Aamir is not looking for any kind of financial help (since the campaign has corporate backing), it seems that the actor is on a lookout for popular faces who can create awareness about the same amongst the masses.

After receiving great response for the three seasons of 'Satyamev Jayate', the team of the reality chat comes together to form 'Paani Foundation'. It is a Not-For-Profit company, helmed by Satyajit Bhatkal (CEO) and Ms. Reena Dutta (COO) and founded by superstar Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao. The main objective of this foundation is to communicate, impart knowledge and bring about a change in outlook among people at the grass root level about water conservation and watershed management.

Paani Foundation will work in association with the Government of Maharashtra for solving the water crisis in the State of Maharashtra and its first step towards it is the 'Satyamev Jayate Water Cup'. The first edition of the Water Cup will be restricted to three districts and within those three districts, in one taluka each. The talukas include Koregaon Taluka, in Satara District (Western Maharashtra), Warud Taluka,...

"For the first time Kiran has spoken about moving out of the country. She fears for her child. That is a disastrous and a big statement for Kiran to make to me. She feels scared to open the newspapers everyday. That does indicate there's a growing despondency apart from alarm. You feel depressed, low, why is this happening. That does exist in me," Aamir stated. "India's social fabric is not at its best right now. I am certainly alarmed. I feel there is a sense of insecurity, fear. It...

Advocate Manoj Singh has sent a legal notice on Manoranjan Roy's behalf to the producers of the show, Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao along with director Satyajit Bhatkal.

Film Star Aamir Khan has been passionate about Satyamev Jayate, and it was thanks to his passion and the great platform and tremendous support he received from Star India, that today, his show has turned out to be India’s most meaningful and impactful TV show for positive social change.

So it was understandable that Aamir Khan was delighted when Star India CEO Uday Shankar was named the Impact Person Of The Decade – an award he received from the Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra, Shri C V Rao, in Mumbai.

The prestigious award recognizes the one individual who has made maximum and far-reaching impact on and influenced and helped shape the media, marketing and advertising industry tremendously over the last 10 years. And obviously, amongst the many initiatives that Star India leader Uday Shankar has rolled out over the past decade, one of the most significant, with tremendous positive social impact,...

Few weeks before 'Satyamev Jayate' went on air, Aamir Khan had spoken about the change in the format of the show where he revealed that Bollywood celebrities will be making an appearance in each episode of the show. The actor had further mentioned that this will not be to add glamour value but their presence will be related to the issue that will be discussed in the episode. Now, the upcoming episode of the reality show will have Salman Khan coming as a guest.

Apparently, according to the latest promo of 'Satyamev Jayate', one of the fans of Salman Khan makes a request to meet Salman in order to express his gratitude over a help that was given by the actor years ago. Aamir Khan introduces the fan to Salman Khan and tells him to thank Salman Khan as much as he wants for the favour.

When Satyamev Jayate launched its first season, its basic idea was to bring about social change by creating awareness over various issues. The show that portrays problems of interior and rural India along with urban dynamics now has decided to follow a new format. In the first season as well as the first edition of the second season, the show concentrated on victims of social injustice and common people speaking their heart out to anchor Aamir Khan about their struggles. But this time around, being a popular Bollywood personality,...

Aamir Khan may be visiting Tokyo for work reasons but the actor has more than one reason to celebrate. Firstly, Dhoom 3 is one of the few Bollywood films to be welcomed in Japan and Aamir Khan will be attending the Tokyo Film Festival in October where the film will be screened. Coincidentally, during that time, his wife Kiran Rao will be bringing in her birthday and the actor has decided to celebrate it in the Japan capital itself.

Aamir Khan is known to take up only selective projects since he likes to focus only on one at a time. Currently, the actor is busy wrapping up the second slot of his show Satyamev Jayate, a reality show that throws light on various social issues in India. Post that, he is planning on a vacation and what better place than Tokyo where he can welcome his wife's birthday at the same...

Popular singer Sona Mohapatra is known for calling a spade a spade without sugar coating things. Though she has sung for many Bollywood films, she shot to fame after her stellar performance in the show 'Satyamev Jayate'. No sooner Alia Bhatt's latest funny video called 'Genuis Of The Year' went viral; it caught everyone's attention on the internet. While most people appreciated Alia's sporty spirit of laughing at herself Sona Mohapatra thought otherwise. She was critical about Alia which is indicated by her tweets that were indirectly hinted at the team of Aib, director Shakun Batra and Alia Bhatt and especially her PR team, who were the 'brains' behind the video, according to her. Sona Mohapatra tweeted, "These young icons are looked upto by million tots, plied with endorsements & then 'celebrate' 'dumbing down'? It angers me no end that this is the mediocrity that we are so enthusiastic to reward.

Aamir Khan recently became a target on the web when malicious rumours about the actor raising funds for the Islamic community were spread on social networking sites. And now, the police has traced the source of it - a man residing in Kozhikode, Kerala and are currently interrogating the suspect. Police also claims that the accused is a former government official who was posting bogus rumours, defaming the image of the actor. Aamir was alleged of promoting the charity Humanity Trust in his popular social show Satyamev Jayate which was supposedly an organization involved in the works for construction of mosques and welfare of the Muslim youth. However defying the rumours, Aamir Khan revealed that the trust which Satyamev Jayate was associated with in Season 1 is Humanity Trust, Hansakpur, West Bengal which is run by localities Dr Ajoy Mistry and his mother Subhasini Mistry and it has nothing to do with Masjid Construction.

The first part of this season’s three-parter series of Satyamev Jayate has come to end and has got tremendous response from it’s audience. The show has not only touched some sensitive issues but also has found possible amends to the problems. So this time Aamir Khan decided to bring Satyamev Jayate in three parts. The first part had five episodes during the month of March and received a lot of admiration from people all over the world.

Aamir is already engrossed in the making of the second half which will be aired in the month of July. From what we’ve learnt Satyamev Jayate team has already finished with their research. This time over they are coming up with some heart wrenching social issues which will be disclosed only when the show will be aired on television.
