Dharmendra DIES at 89 : Hema Malini looks DEVASTATED as she arrives at…, cops try hard to…

Hema Malini looked devastated as she was spotted outside Mumbai’s Pawan Hans Crematorium, where veteran actor and her husband, Dharmendra, was taken for his last rites. As evident from the videos that have gone viral on social media, Hema Malini looks quiet and devastated as she arrives at Mumbai crematorium. While paps gather in huge numbers to capture a glimpse of the star, cops try hard to clear way for her car to enter the crematorium.
On November 11, actor Hema Malini broke her silence on false reports surrounding Dharmendra’s health. She refuted all rumours that the star had passed away. Hema took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her disappointment over the reports.
“What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering? This is being extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give due respect to the family and its need for privacy,” Hema Malini wrote.
The rumours, had started on November 10 and sparked massive concern among fans and the film fraternity. But Dharmendra’s family was quick to declare them false. His daughter, Esha Deol, too had issued a strong statement on Instagram
She wrote, “THE MEDIA SEEMS TO BE IN OVERDRIVE AND SPREADING FALSE NEWS. MY FATHER IS STABLE & RECOVERING. WE REQUEST EVERYONE TO GIVE OUR FAMILY PRIVACY. THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS FOR PAPAS SPEEDY RECOVERY.” Esha had also reassured fans that the actor was under medical care and reportedly stable. Dharmendra was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital yesterday (November 10) after his health turned worse.

The Running Man North America Box Office: Edgar Wright’s Sci-fi Adventure Film Takes A Heavy Hit As A Near 75% Drop Slashes Its Breakout Chances

The Running Man is going through a rough ride at the box office, and the latest weekend made the situation even clearer. The movie has suffered a significant drop in its second weekend in the US, and the numbers have reached a point where the team behind it can only watch the slide. The film managed to keep its theatre count intact, but the commercial performance has fallen short of what the makers hoped for. The Stephen King adaptation never really gained momentum after its release on November 14, and the signs were already evident from the slow weekdays and the lukewarm global turnout.
To make things worse, everything took a sharper turn this Friday when Ariana Grande’s Wicked For Good arrived with its record-breaking wave and swept away whatever small chance The Running Man had of building any sort of comeback. The arrival of the musical pushed the film further down the pecking order, and with a steep budget of $110 million looming over it, the hope of breaking even has grown increasingly thin.
The Running Man Box Office Numbers Fall Short of Expectations
So far, The Running Man has earned $48.3 million worldwide. Out of this, $27 million came from the United States from its 3,534 theatres, while the other $21.3 million rolled in from overseas markets. The film opened to $16.4 million in its debut weekend with an average of $4,667 per theatre, but the latest weekend painted a very different picture as the movie fell by 64.8% compared to its opening frame. The weekday performance before the second weekend gave a warning already, as the film earned less than a million on both Wednesday and Thursday.

Friday brought in around $1.6 million, followed by $2.4 million on Saturday and another $1.6 million on Sunday. This added up to a $5.8 million weekend haul, which is far from what the studio needed at this stage. The drop also pushed the film down the weekend chart, slipping to number 4 after holding the second spot last week.
Comparison With The 1987 Stephen King Adaptation
The only small comfort the film can claim is a narrow win over the original 1987 adaptation starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. That version made $5.6 million in its second week, but did so while running in only 1,692 theatres, giving it a better average and a lighter 30% dip. The Running Man may have topped the raw number, but the old one held the stronger standing.
To find its way anywhere near break-even, The Running Man needs around $250 million. At this pace, even touching $100 million appears to be a distant path, fading further with each passing day.
The Running Man Box Office Summary (via Box Office Mojo)

Domestic – $27 million
International – $21.3 million
Worldwide – $48.3 million

Naga Chaitanya Unleashes the Beast: Vrushakarma’s Thrilling First Look is Out Now!

A big-ticket cinematic announcement has been made, teaming Yuva Samrat Naga Chaitanya with the promising director Karthik Dandu of Virupaksha-fame for a high-octane mythical thriller. Jointly produced by SVCC and Sukumar Writings and presented by Bapineedu, the project has already raised interest with some behind-the-scenes glimpses.
The film’s title and a stunning first-look poster were unveiled by the team to mark Naga Chaitanya’s birthday. Superstar Mahesh Babu unveiled the poster via his social media and wished Chaitanya and the team.
Titled Vrushakarma, the name signifies “one whose actions are righteous,” hinting at the moral strength of Chaitanya’s character. The poster showcases the actor in a rugged, battle-ready avatar, gripping a heavy metal rod, his attire dust-streaked and worn. A dramatic backdrop of ancient structures, swirling smoke, and a golden-hued sky sets a mythological yet gritty tone. Chaitanya’s muscular frame, sweat-glazed face, and fierce expression suggest a role demanding high physicality—possibly his most challenging yet.
“Wishing you a very Happy Birthday @chay_akkineni. #Vrushakarma looks super solid… looking forward to this,” Mahesh Babu wrote on X, praising the team and the poster.
The film also stars Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, while Laapata Ladies actor Sparsh Shrivastava plays the antagonist. Vrushakarma promises a fresh narrative that intertwines history and mythology—something where Karthik Dandu’s vision shines.

Heartbreak in Bollywood! Legendary Star Dharmendra Dies at 89 — The Nation Mourns Its Veeru!

It is with deep sorrow that the world of Bollywood mourns the passing of the legendary actor Dharmendra, who breathed his last at the age of 89. From his breakout role in Phool Aur Patthar to his unforgettable performance as “Veeru” in Sholay, his charm, masculinity and boundless energy made him a fixture in Indian cinema.
Born into modest roots, Dharmendra carved out a career that spanned decades, showcasing his versatility as a romantic hero, an action star and a family man. He became known for his handsome looks, his swagger and a screen presence that lit up the frame. His performance as the impulsive and loyal Veeru in Sholay resonated deeply with generations of fans and remains one of the most iconic roles in the annals of Hindi film.
Beyond box office success, Dharmendra’s legacy lies in how he connected with ordinary people—his every-man appeal blended with the hero-myth. He balanced mass appeal with genuine warmth, whether delivering fight-sequences or tender dialogues. Off-screen, he retained a humble persona, which endeared him even more to his audience.

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Upcoming Twist: Abhira tries to heal Dadisa’s pain; Will Dadisa reconcile with her family?

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Upcoming Twist: Abhira tries to heal Dadisa’s pain; Will Dadisa reconcile with her family?

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the Star Plus television show produced by Rajan Shahi’s Director’s Kut, has seen engaging drama with Dadisa (Anita Raaj) walking out of the Poddar house in anger. Armaan (Rohit Purohit) and Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) searched from pillar to post to get to know the whereabouts of Dadisa. As we know, Vidya’s anger toward Dadisa hurt her a lot, and she decided to record a message for her family about the partitioning of the house and silently left.
We saw Armaan and Abhira finding Dadisa in her old house, where she had started her life years back, amid a humble beginning. Dadisa was moved, seeing her past life come before her eyes. We saw Armaan and Abhira pleading with Dadisa to return home.
The upcoming episode will see Armaan going back home to handle Vidya, while Abhira will stay at Dadisa’s house with her. Abhira will try to create opportunities where she can talk to Dadisa about her family and calm her down. But Dadisa will be so hurt that she will not even talk to Abhira. With Abhira’s relentless effort to calm Dadisa, she will, at one instance, spill out and speak about the pain and hurt that Vidya has given her. Abhira will feel the sorrow that Dadisa has within her.
Can Abhira succeed in calming Dadisa?
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai produced by Rajan Shahi has been a long-running show that started with actors Karan Mehra and Hina Khan as leads. The show had a very good run and made the actors household names. Naitik and Akshara ruled television for a long time. The first generation leap in the story introduced Mohsin Khan and Shivangi Joshi, who became stupendously popular for their lead roles of Kartik and Naira. Mohsin and Shivangi’s fan following and popularity grew with this Jodi. Even today, when Mohsin and Shivangi are not part of the show, the cult show remains one of their biggest experiences. Their exit from the show created a furore among the Mohsin and Shivangi fans. But hats off to the makers, as they came back with a bang and delivered yet again with yet another generation leap story. We had Harshad Chopda and Pranali Rathod playing the leads of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Later, the show introduced the fourth-generation leads with Shehzada Dhami and Samridhii Shukla. However, both Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honkar were replaced owing to issues of tantrums and taking their places in the show are Rohit Purohit and Garvita Sadhwani. Garvita, later exited the show.

Dharmendra once got EMOTIONAL after Hema Malini lauded Sunny Deol for…

Hema Malini surprised the whole country by lavishing compliments on her step-son, Sunny Deol. Nonetheless, it was her husband, Dharmendra, who appeared extremely joyful witnessing his family together. Following Dharmendra’s marriage to Hema Malini, he encountered numerous issues with his first family. However, Hema Malini ensured that she never interfered with the relationship between Dharmendra and his first wife, along with their children.
Dharmendra posted an unfinished video expressing his feelings after Hema Malini backed Sunny Deol
The whole Deol family came together, demonstrating that ‘Apne toh aakhir apne hote hai’. Recently, Hema Malini was seen in the city attending the screening of her step-son Sunny Deol’s movie, Gadar 2. Dharmendra posted an unseen video, in which he opened up about his feelings after realizing his dreams. Nonetheless, he subsequently removed the video.

Hema Malini lauded Sunny Deol and his talents in the successful film, Gadar 2 back in 2023. Hema, who consistently distanced herself from Dharmendra’s first family, watched the film on August 18, 2023, and joyfully spoke to the media. She revealed that the film was incredible and complimented the directors. She also added that Sunny was super in the film. Hema Malini was quoted as saying:
“Sunny is superb, Utkarsh, Anil Sharma ji’s son unhone ne bhi bohut sundar acting kiya hai. Jo nayi ladki hai, woh bhi bohut acchi hai. Yeh picture dekh kar ek dum rasjtra k prati jo bhav hone chahiye, patriotism, woh bohut hi hai.”
Esha Deol, the daughter of Hema Malini, organized a special screening for the film of her step-brother, Sunny Deol.
On August 12, 2023, Esha organized a unique screening of her brother Sunny’s movie, Gadar 2. Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol attended the event. It was the first occasion we witnessed Dharmendra’s kids grouped together for the cameras. Sunny and Bobby affectionately embraced their sister, Esha. Subsequently, Ahana and her son joined the trio. A fan page posted a video, which Dharmendra re-shared on his IG account featuring an old Hindi song, ‘Behna ka abhimaan tu’.
