Mrunal Thakur, who is famous for her lovely on-screen presence and impactful acting, has surprisingly landed herself amidst controversy. One of her vintage videos while working in television shows has gone viral, with a flood of criticism following her way.

While Mrunal has been having a good time in movies, this throwback moment has now sparked heated discussions online. Here’s a closer look at the clip that caused the storm.

The Clip That Sparked the Debate

The clip is from Mrunal’s early acting career during the shooting of Kumkum Bhagya. In the video, she is seen talking to her co-star about fitness choices. While talking, she said, “Go marry Bipasha then. I am better than Bipasha.

Wazir Patar Launches Wzr Tank EP Alongside A Documentary!

For years, Wazir Patar has been the name behind some of Punjabi music’s most defining sounds and now, he’s stepping into the spotlight himself. With the launch of his debut EP and mini-documentary Wzr Tank, the Punjabi hip-hop and rap producer, director, and now recording artist is unveiling his vision in full for the first time.

This is the first time Wazir has spoken out, marking a major moment in his career. Known for blending folk tradition with heavy, modern beats, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in the game, including producing The Last Ride — the final song Sidhu Moosewala recorded before his passing. That track cemented Wazir’s reputation as a sonic architect of Punjab’s evolving sound. Wazir’s recent hit track is “Notorious.”

With Wzr Tank, Wazir pairs music with a visual statement.

The streamer lost more popular animated content at the end of July.

HBO Max has made multiple efforts to subtly shift its target audience over the past couple of years. The most obvious was its recent move to change its name from Max back to HBO Max, but there have also been concerted efforts to gear the streamer’s catalog more toward adults who can best appreciate its premium brand. Those efforts have included the removal of kids’ content from the streamer, and at the end of July, HBO Max lost two more marquee titles in the genre.

Key Details: Dog days of summer: “Courage the Cowardly Dog” and “What’s New Scooby-Doo?” are no longer available on HBO Max. Lost license: The removals are thanks to the expiration of HBO Max’s license to stream them. Gone looney?: Earlier this year, the streamer also pulled a selection of “Looney Tunes” episodes.

Depending on which HBO Max plan you sign up for, you can get widely different features with HBO Max.

HBO Max has a premium reputation, but does that mean it comes with a premium price? Not necessarily, as long as you’re not a stickler for sports. HBO Max offers premium content like HBO originals — past and present — as well as blockbuster Warner Bros. movies and a lot more on every plan.

But what exactly are those plans, and what does each come with? We’ve got the details on those questions here, and we’ll run through all the choices you get when signing up for an HBO Max subscription below.

Gary Dauberman is staying busy. A couple of years ago, he signed a first-look deal with Sony’s Screen Gems for feature films. As part of that deal, he is expected to “create projects for himself while curating a slate featuring established and up-and-coming filmmakers.” So far, the deal has resulted in the video game adaptation Until Dawn, and other projects in development include the Joe Hill adaptation Ushers, an Urban Legend reboot, the “demonic horror on a plane” story Human Remains, and the video game adaptation The Medium. Now, Deadline reports that Dauberman and his production company Coin Operated are teaming with Brightburn director David Yarovesky to develop a horror movie called He Never Dies.

Yarovesky will be writing and directing the movie. Here’s the logline: In He Never Dies, the man they killed keeps coming back. Bigger. Stronger. Less human. No matter what they do… He. Never.

As Stranger Things season five gears up to drop its first set of episodes later this year, on November 26, an interesting fan theory on Reddit (posted by @New-Independent6649/Reddit) has shed new light on the ultimate fate of Max Mayfield, played by the brilliant Sadie Sink. While Max almost succumbed to Vecna’s evil prowess at the end of the fourth season of Stranger Things, she was somehow revived by Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), but eventually ended up in a coma and was rendered brain-dead.

The Reddit fan theory harps on the assumption that Max might be making good use of her time while being trapped inside Vecna’s Lair, given the fact that the evil master traps his victims inside his mind, as has been explained in the previous seasons of Stranger Things.

As Max has become an inseparable part of the group of friends at Hawkins, the fifth...

Music supervisor is a job that is part professional music nerd, part aural detective and part crate-digging business affairs exec. 5 Songs is a Deadline series that highlights the work of these below the line workers through songs and stories.

Forever is an adaptation of the 1975 Judy Blume novel, but set in Los Angeles rather than New Jersey. It tells the story of two young athletes, played by Justin Edwards and Keisha Clark, who reunite, after going to grade school together, and fall in love but face the pressure of sports, academics and college prep.

From Mara Brock Akil, the series, which has already been renewed for a second season, features a lot of music, particularly songs from L.A.-based artists that were on the scene in 2018.

The 1980s was a tremendous decade for horror movies. We saw the birth of new icons, and were treated to a plethora of practical effects from filmmakers who pushed the limits of acceptable taste. Yet sandwiched in between the likes of Freddy Kruger, Jason Voorhees, and effects wizard Tom Savini was perhaps one of the best supernatural horror movies ever made that doesn't get nearly the love that it should. Maybe now it will get the recognition it deserves thanks to star Heather Graham, who is set to lead a new spin on the true story that inspired 1982's The Entity.

Deadline reports that Graham is set to lead Entity Within, which comes by way of Insidious and Paranormal Activity producer Steven Schneider. Directed by Nick Simon, the film isn't a remake in the traditional sense, but rather a new look at one of the most documented paranormal cases in...

Heart Eyes disembowels Valentine's Day in a grisly laugh riot that mocks romantic comedies. The tongue in cheek slasher flick takes an Olympic dive through tired horror genre tropes and comes up for air with a devilish grin. The film doesn't take itself seriously, acknowledges absurdity with slivers of clever dialogue, and then doubles down on the carnage to fill fandom's expected gore quota. The plot makes zero sense outside the overall premise, but that's not entirely detrimental. Fantastic chemistry between capable leads keeps your attention when common sense attempts to overtake the bloody fun.

The idea behind Yamada Naoko’s animated film The Colors Within is simple and straightforward. Totsuko (Suzukawa Sayu), a student at an all-girls Catholic boarding school, has the ability to see the “colors” of others, and finds herself especially drawn to people who give off the most vibrant hues. Early on, she gets socked in the face during gym class while entranced by the solid blue of Kimi (Takaishi Akari), a pretty classmate throwing a dodgeball her way. And at its most rapturous, The Colors Within uses color and perception not to simplify its world but to reflect the complexity of the emotions its characters feel so deeply.

Despite what the title of the film might suggest, Totsuko’s synaesthesia isn’t the focal point of the story. Animation studio Science Saru may have a reputation for taking wild, experimental swings, yet this film’s most affecting sequences are the ones grounded in reality.

Bleed From Within have announced their new album, Zenith, arriving April 4th via Nuclear Blast Records. The video for the single “In Place of Your Halo” is out now.

The band pays tribute to its native Scotland on the infectious track, which features a remarkable bagpipe breakdown. Groove riffs and Pantera-like stomps are hastened into a mosh-ready four-minute package of metalcore — with an emphasis on that genre’s suffix, hardcore. The cold reality of the lyrics and overall delivery has a raw punk-rock quality.

As Bleed From Within stated in the press release, the song marks “the beginning of the next chapter for Bleed From Within.”

“It is an anthem for those that feel like life has passed them by, or those that have been held back by their own limitations,” the band said. “We are killing the older version of ourselves in order to grow.

Within every gaming genre exist hidden gems, experiences that enrich our love of play by adding their own novel touches. Ogre Pixel’s Hidden in My Paradise joins this special class with its blend of exploration, creativity, and charm. As a hidden object title published for Nintendo Switch and PC, it takes the familiar formula and infuses it with welcome adventure and expression.

Players guide photographer Laly through varied locales like forests and beaches, seeking hidden items to help wildlife. But Paradise sets itself apart with photography puzzles that recreate scenes, giving Detective Pikachu vibes. And its island builder lets users decorate as their artistic souls please. These features give the game extra soul.

Yet its execution left me conflicted. While brimming with wholesomeness, levels felt cramped. Puzzles could prove fussy. And placing objects proved tricky on Switch. However, where it succeeded brought joy. Helping animals amid lush backdrops relaxed mind and spirit.

Everything you need to know about the Harry Potter TV series (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The magic’s returning to our screens! Thirteen years after the last film, HBO announced a new Harry Potter TV series, sparking mixed reactions among fans. With J.K. Rowling’s books still captivating hearts and the franchise expanding, the Wizarding World is ready for a “new era.”

So, what can fans expect from this first-ever reboot? Buckle up because here’s everything we know!

Each Season will be based on one novel

In a bold move, the series will dive deep into the seven Harry Potter books, aiming for a “faithful adaptation” that explores the intricacies of each story. Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO & Max Content, stated, “The show will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.” The plan? One book per season!

Worlds of Aria brings the cooperative storytelling experience of tabletop roleplaying games into the digital world. Developed for PC and consoles, the game can be enjoyed either solo or with a party of up to four players joining online or through local wireless.

Taking on the role of one of twelve classic fantasy heroes, players embark on a shared narrative campaign unfolding across multiple chapters. Working together to overcome challenges through strategic decisions and dice rolls, the adventure that unfolds will reflect the unique choices of each hero.

Whether experienced alone or with companions, Worlds of Aria succeeds in transporting players to a cheerfully whimsical realm ripe for exploration. In each session, the heroes will discover colorful characters, dangerous enemies, and opportunities where even the smallest choices can reshape the course of battles and shape the destiny of the kingdom.

Both veterans of tabletop games and newcomers to the roleplaying...

Elrentaros Wanderings comes from developer Hakama, led by Rune Factory creator Yoshifumi Hashimoto. The game takes place across two parallel worlds—a rural fantasy village called Elrentaros and a present-day Japanese school.

In Elrentaros, monsters plague the townspeople, so players take on the role of an adventurer exploring mysterious dungeons to help the locals. Along the way, strange things occur—sometimes the player wakes up in their other life at school, where characters resemble those in Elrentaros.

With veterans from the Rune Factory series involved, hopes were high. Players could customize weapons and complete quests, with farming and relationship elements alongside the core action-dungeon gameplay. Repetitive combat and lack of motivation to keep exploring hold it back from achieving its potential.

The two worlds introduced an intriguing concept but received little development. If the scope had matched the pedigree, it may have become something truly special. As is, Elrentaros Wanderings...

Kit Harington and Caolinn Springall in The Beast Within. Alexander J Farrell: 'it's a horror film about the horrors of family life' Photo: Courtesy of Well Go USA Director Alexander J Farrell channels personal experiences through the guise of the werewolf in The Beast Within, co-written by Greer Ellison. The title refers not only to the beast inside of husband and father Noah (Kit Harington), but the threat he poses to his family unit - wife Imogen (Ashleigh Cummings) and ten-year-old daughter Willow (Caoilinn Springall).

Set in 1965 in rural England, Willow secretly follows her parents when they leave their fortified compound and learns the horrifying truth that her father transforms monthly from man to beast.

Godzilla movies feature surprisingly emotional deaths, from the tragic fall of Mothra to the selfless sacrifice of Dr. Serizawa. The original 1954 Godzilla's demise is a mixture of relief and tragedy, showcasing the creature as a victim of nuclear testing. Sacrifices play a prominent role in Godzilla films, with characters like Mothra and Rodan giving their lives to empower Godzilla.

As giant monster movies, it's no surprise that the Godzilla films feature plenty of death. What can be a shock is just how poignant many of these deaths are. Across Godzilla's many eras, the series has become increasingly silly, making it hard to believe that the franchise could muster any genuine emotional downbeats. Yet several of the death scenes featured throughout Godzilla's many films can be quite somber affairs, eliciting a tearful reaction amidst the chaos of kaiju battles.

The tragic deaths of Godzilla's movies come in many forms.

Annecy, France — José Miguel Ribeiro, Nuno Beato and David Doutel and Vasco Sá, iconic figures in modern-day Portuguese animation, will unveil new projects at this year’s Annecy. They will be joined by newer talents – Vier Nev, behind “A Mind Sang” – João Carrilho, Patrícia Figueiredo and Natália Azevedo Andrade – who together deliver an eloquent snapshot of the burgeoning state of Portuguese animation.

Over the last 30 years, Portuguese animation has won ever more prizes for usually 2D short films of dazzling beauty, experimentation and sometimes social point. The career of Regina Pessoa, who delivers a masterclass at Annecy, is a case in point.

Animation remains in Portugal a vocational passion. In one case in point, Ribeiro, after scoring praise and plaudits with feature film “Nayola,” will present a short film, “The Flower and the Fish,” which marks another new direction in vastly eclectic career.

Yet Portuguese animation is in the throes of industry take-off.

The official website for The Colors Within (known as Kimi no Iro in Japan), an upcoming original theatrical anime film directed by Naoko Yamada ( Liz and the Blue Bird ), announced four additional voice cast members today on May 13.

Euphonium ) Shino Sakunaga played by Keiko Toda (Anpanman in Soreile! Anpanman ) Among them, only Yasuko (a comedian) is voicing an anime character for the first time. "At the time of recording, I was very nervous because it was my first debut as a voice actor in my life! At the same time, I was really, really happy to be able to do the voice acting I had always wanted to do!

The Spider Within reveals Miles Morales' struggles to open up to his parents, as he battles the manifestation of his fears alone. The magnitude of Miles Morales' mental struggles in The Spider Within make his confession in Across the Spider-Verse even more emotional. The fact that Miles Morales confessed his Spider-Man identity to an alternate version of his mother is even more heartbreaking after The Spider Within.

The ending of Sony's animated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is made even more heartbreaking after Miles Morales' true struggles are revealed in the Spider-Verse's new short film, The Spider Within. Taking place in the space between 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and 2023's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story was released on March 27, 2024, by Sony Pictures Animation in conjunction with the Kevin Love Fund.

Marvel and Sony have released a short film starring Miles Morales to fill the void of waiting for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story focuses on Miles' mental health struggles and sets up the storyline for the next film. The film provides deep insight into Miles balancing his personal life and superhero duties, foreshadowing the upcoming Spider-Verse movie by also furthering Miles' relationship with his father.

The wait for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is becoming ever more difficult, but one Miles Morales release is perfect to satiate the desire for the third movie. Since the ending of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the anticipation for the final film in the exceptional trilogy has only grown. Originally, March 29, 2024, was set as the release date for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse before complications due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes delayed the production.

Within hours of Mean Girls’ (2024) box office-topping release, bootleg video of Avantika’s song-and-dance number, “Sexy,” circulated social media to the praise of people far and wide.

Avantika plays a new take on Amanda Seyfried’s Karen in Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr.’s film adaptation of Tina Fey’s Mean Girls Broadway musical, which was based on Fey and Mark Waters’ 2004 comedy classic. (The original Mean Girls was also based on Rosalind Wiseman’s book Queen Bees and Wannabes.) Like the Karen before her, Avantika’s version of the character is also endearingly slow on the uptake, often garnering the film’s best jokes and biggest laughs, but Fey, who returned as screenwriter, opted to not just play all the hits again, such as Karen’s “weather report.”

Avantika didn’t get the chance to meet Seyfried before or during production, but a couple of days after the...

Middle East and North Africa-focused distributor Front Row Filmed Entertainment and Saudi Arabia-based producer Al Sarid Films have launched the trailer for the Saudi Arabian epic Within Sand, the first Saudi film to be shot in Neom, the region of the country set to be home to a proposed $500 billion megacity.

The film is set to be released wide across Saudi cinemas on Nov. 9 via Front Row Arabia, the joint venture between Front Row Filmed Entertainment and leading Saudi exhibitor Muvi Cinemas, and later around the Middle East. At the start of 2023, Front Row Arabia scored a major hit with the Saudi family comedy Sattar, which became the biggest local film of all time.

Backed by the Saudi Film Commission, Neom and Riyadh-based production company AlSarid Films, Within Sand is written and directed by first-time filmmaker Moe Alatawi and produced by Reem Alatawi and Jana Dahlawi.

It features an all-Saudi cast led by Ra’ed Alshammari,...

Daft Punk will continue their 10th anniversary celebration of Random Access Memories this November with a “drumless edition” of their Grammy-winning 2013 album.

Random Access Memories (Drumless Edition), due out November 17, features all 13 songs from the original LP, but as the title suggests, the drums and percussion have been stripped from the defunct dance duo’s tracks.

Ahead of the reworked LP’s release, Daft Punk has shared the “drumless” version of the ballad “Within”; although already one of Random Access Memories’ less percussive tracks, the “drumless edition” take spotlights Chilly Gonzales’s piano work.

Daft Punk are still keeping the good times rolling as they celebrate the 10th anniversary of their final studio album. After sharing an extended deluxe version of it earlier this year, the French house duo have announced Random Access Memories (Drumless Edition), a track-by-track reimagining of the record without a single drum beat.

While it’s hard to imagine most Daft Punk songs drumless, Random Access Memories (Drumless Edition) should pique interest in fans wanting to delve deeper into the layers of the band’s compositions. Pre-orders are ongoing now before the album is out in full November 17th.

See the artwork and tracklist for Random Access Memories (Drumless Edition) below.

Earlier this year, Daft Punk released a deluxe edition of Random Access Memories, featuring 35 minutes of previously unreleased music. In an interview corresponding with its release, Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter said he was “relieved” that the duo disbanded,...

The exploration of anxiety and mental health in The Spider Within will contribute to positive representation in the film industry, addressing a necessary topic in today's society.

Sony's animated Spider-Verse projects have become hugely popular among audiences, focusing on Miles Morales' Spider-Man from Earth-1610 rather than Peter Parker, and the success of 2018's...

Daft Punk have unveiled the 10th anniversary reissue of their final album, Random Access Memories. Featuring nine previously-unreleased tracks — totaling 35 minutes of new music — the release offers a unique glimpse into the French duo’s creative process, and pays homage to the celebrated, 2x album that marked the end of their run.

The duo also unveiled a video for the new track “Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo),” featuring Julian Casablancas + The Voidz, which they note will be their final music video. Watch it below.

“Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo)” was recorded during the initial sessions for Random Access Memories at Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles and Electric Lady Studios in New York.
