It feels like a party every day that the Jessie cast reunites. 
More than ten years after the Disney Channel show wrapped in 2015, Debby Ryan, Peyton List, Karan Brar, and Kevin…
 

An Air Canada Express plane crashed at LaGuardia Airport in New York City on March 22, striking a Port Authority fire rescue vehicle. 

There was a time, not too long ago, when the Indian film industry would quietly step aside if a big Hollywood film arrived. Release dates would be adjusted, screens would be negotiated, and the bigger global studio would almost always get the upper hand. That was the accepted reality. Today, that reality is changing. And changing fast. We are loving it.

The biggest proof of that shift is unfolding right now with Dhurandhar: The Revenge. What Aditya Dhar has created is not just a successful film, it is a moment that the entire trade is watching very closely. A moment that signals confidence, scale, and most importantly, control.

While Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling, has opened to a strong $140 million globally, there is a telling detail in that success story. The film is yet to release in India. Not because of lack of interest, but because its makers chose to stay away from a direct clash with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, led by Ranveer Singh.

Think about that for a second.

A major Hollywood studio film, with global backing and star power, delaying its India release because of a Hindi film. That is not a small shift. That is a complete reversal of how things used to work.

And it’s not just about numbers or box office collections. It’s about perception. It’s about fear of missing out on screens. It’s about acknowledging that an Indian film today can dominate attention, occupancy, and audience conversation to such an extent that even Hollywood prefers to wait.

Ahead of the film’s India release, directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller spoke to Hindustan Times about the growing popularity of Indian cinema. During that conversation, they pointed out how things have flipped over the years. A couple of decades ago, an Indian film would have moved to accommodate a Hollywood release. Now, it’s the other way around. Phil Lord summed it up with a laugh, “How dare you have your own successful film industry?”

It may sound like a joke, but it carries weight.

This shift did not happen overnight. Films like RRR opened global doors and changed how the world looks at Indian cinema. But what Dhurandhar: The Revenge is doing is equally important. It is strengthening the domestic market to such a level that global players now have to plan around it.

Within the industry, there is both excitement and nervousness. Producers, distributors, and even competing stars are watching closely, wondering how to match this scale of buzz and audience pull. Because this is not just about one film working. This is about raising the bar.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge has become more than a film. It has become a benchmark. A signal that Indian cinema is no longer playing catch-up. It is setting the pace.

And for once, it is not us adjusting to them.

It is them adjusting to us.

Radvinsky bought OnlyFans in 2018, reshaping it into the hugely popular adult content platform that it is today. 

When casting announcements drop for something as iconic as Harry Potter, reactions are expected. But what followed for Paapa Essiedu wasn’t just debate, it was something far darker. The actor, who has been cast as Severus Snape in HBO’s upcoming reboot, has revealed that he has been subjected to intense racist abuse and even death threats since the news broke. And the details are genuinely disturbing. In a recent interview, Essiedu shared that he has received messages telling him to “quit or I’ll murder you,” along with threats claiming people would come to his house and kill him. For an actor simply stepping into a role, the scale of hostility reflects a deeper issue that continues to plague major fandoms.

Essiedu, who is of Ghanaian descent, acknowledged that while he tries not to engage with the negativity, it is impossible to completely ignore it. The emotional toll is real. Still, instead of backing down, he’s choosing to channel that energy into his performance.

He explained that the abuse has actually strengthened his resolve to make the character his own. For him, representation matters. The idea that a new generation of kids might see themselves reflected in the wizarding world is something he refuses to let go of, no matter the backlash.

The casting itself marks a significant shift for the franchise. Originally portrayed by Alan Rickman, Snape remains one of the most complex and beloved characters in the series. Taking on that legacy was always going to come with pressure, but the conversation has now extended far beyond performance and into cultural territory.

This isn’t the first time the Harry Potter universe has found itself in controversy. Between debates around casting, author commentary, and evolving audience expectations, the reboot is already navigating a complicated landscape even before release.

But Essiedu’s response stands out. Instead of retreating, he is leaning in. He openly admits the situation affects him emotionally, yet he remains focused on the bigger picture. His goal is not just to play Snape, but to redefine what the character can represent today.

At its core, this moment is about more than a single role. It is about how audiences react to change, who gets to be part of legacy storytelling, and how the industry handles the intersection of fandom and identity.

And while the noise online continues, Essiedu seems clear on one thing. He is not stepping away. He is stepping into it.

Arjun Rampal is currently being praised for his role in Dhurandhar, where he plays a dangerous ISI agent linked to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. However, what many may not know is that the actor has a personal connection to that tragic night in real life. Recently, at the Hello! Hall of Fame Awards, Arjun shared a chilling memory from November 26, 2008.

On that night, he was actually planning to go to the Taj Hotel in Mumbai to celebrate his birthday with friends. But an unexpected delay changed everything.

“On November 26, 2008, I was in this hotel (Four Seasons, Worli). I’d come to pick up my friends, and we were on our way to Taj because we were going there to celebrate my birthday. One guy was getting ready…God bless him. We were at the bar, we ordered a drink, and the first bomb went off near Mahim. I heard that sound, and my glass shook. We were like ‘What the hell was that? He said, “Within 10 minutes, our phones were ringing, and everybody said there’s some gang war that has broken out in Colaba, and we were asked not to go there. In 20 to 30 minutes, the whole Four Seasons was cordoned off. We were allowed to stay in the hotel that night and were asked not to go out as it was not safe. On my birthday, I saw the horrors of the 26/11 attacks play out.”

The next morning was equally disturbing for him. “In the morning, when I drove back home, I stopped at least three times because I thought I was going to be sick. When Aditya Dhar narrated to me the 26/11 scene, I knew I was going to have my revenge, and that’s what I did with Dhurandhar. All I want to say is ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’.”

While shooting for Dhurandhar, recreating the 26/11 attack scenes was not easy for Arjun. The emotional weight of reliving such a painful event made it one of the toughest moments of his career.

When a fan asked him online how it felt to perform such a scene as an Indian, especially one so close to reality, Arjun gave a very honest answer. “@mandala 9348, most difficult scene of my life.”

His words reflect how deeply the experience affected him, both personally and professionally. Meanwhile, Dhurandhar 2 continues to perform strongly at the box office, with audiences appreciating its scale, performances, and emotional intensity.

Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 is currently making waves at the box office, with audiences praising its action, visuals, and performances. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film has impressed many, and now a behind the scenes story has added even more excitement for fans. The film’s prosthetics artist Karandeep Singh recently shared his experience of working with Ranveer on Instagram.

He spoke about the actor’s dedication and how seriously he takes his craft, especially while playing two different sides of his character.

Karandeep wrote, “@ranveersingh we love you The precision with which you performed Hamza and then transformed into Jaskirat was simply outstanding. As an artist working closely with you, I learned so much about what hard work, persistence, and honesty towards your craft really mean. I still remember you telling everyone on set — ‘Apne kaam pe focus karo… kyunki yeh mazaak nahi chal raha.’”

He further explained how Ranveer’s discipline showed even during physically demanding shoots. “And today, that dedication is visible on screen for the whole world to see. I truly hope people learn from the discipline and passion behind this massive success. As a makeup artist, working with you is always a pleasure. Not once have you shown tantrums, even when we had to apply heavy prosthetics, blood effects, and complex makeup for hours — sometimes in 45° heat with those intense costumes.”

The process of creating these looks was not easy, but Ranveer made it smoother for the entire team. “Trust me, it’s not easy… but you always made it easier for the team. And like you used to say on set, ‘Tum logon ko nahi pata humne kya create kiya hai.’ Well… now the whole world knows. Thank you for the love, patience, and trust you showed in our work,” Karandeep added.

Apart from the behind the scenes praise, the film has also received mixed to positive reviews. News18 Showsha gave it 3.5 stars and appreciated Ranveer’s performance.

“As far as performances are concerned, the soul of Dhurandhar 2 lies firmly with Ranveer Singh, who delivers an absolutely outstanding act. He is undeniably the star of the film, carrying the narrative on his shoulders with remarkable ease and conviction. From the very first scene, Ranveer Singh commands attention with an intense screen presence that is hard to look away from.”

“Overall, despite its scale and ambition, Dhurandhar 2 feels slightly weaker in comparison to the original film, which was released in December 2025. While the sequel amps up action and visual spectacle, it misses the tighter storytelling that made the first film a blockbuster. Certain subplots, like the underdeveloped romance and limited use of key characters, dilute its impact. The pacing also feels uneven, with portions that could have been skipped. Even some thematic elements appear forced, making the narrative less organic. As a result, despite its highs, the sequel doesn’t quite match the original’s overall effectiveness,” the review also mentioned.

Overall, the film continues to attract attention, with Ranveer Singh’s performance standing out as its biggest strength.

Carrie Anne Fleming, the Canadian actress known for her memorable work in Supernatural and iZombie, has died at the age of 51 after complications related to breast cancer. News of her passing has left fans of genre television and longtime colleagues mourning a performer whose face became familiar across a wide range of beloved series over the years. Though she may not always have occupied the center of the spotlight, Fleming built a lasting career through consistency, emotional presence, and a deep connection to the characters she played, becoming a respected and recognizable figure across television, film, and stage.

Jim Beaver, her Supernatural co-star, was the one who shared the heartbreaking news publicly. In an emotional tribute, he remembered Fleming not only as a co-star but as someone deeply important in his life. Later reports confirmed that her death was caused by complications from breast cancer.

Fleming was perhaps best known to many viewers for playing Karen Singer in Supernatural, the late wife of Bobby Singer. Though her appearances were not frequent, they were powerful and emotionally resonant, especially in episodes that explored Bobby’s grief, memory, and personal history.

She also became a familiar face to CW audiences through her recurring role in iZombie, where she played Candy Baker across multiple episodes. That performance added another strong credit to a career filled with genre work and character roles that often left an impression.

Across three decades, Fleming appeared in more than 40 screen roles. Her credits included projects such as Smallville, The L Word, Continuum, Motive, UnREAL, and Supergirl. She also had a memorable part in Masters of Horror, appearing in the Dario Argento-directed episode Jenifer.

Outside of the screen, she also worked in theatre, performing in productions including Romeo and Juliet, Steel Magnolias, and Fame. Her range across mediums showed a performer committed to the craft, whether in intimate stage settings or major television productions.

Carrie Anne Fleming is survived by her daughter. Her passing marks the loss of a talented actress whose work quietly but meaningfully became part of many beloved stories.

Not every love story goes the way we imagine, and The Drama fully embraces that idea in a simple yet powerful way. The film tells a story that feels real, messy, and unpredictable, showing how love can quickly change when truth comes out.

Starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, the film follows an engaged couple who seem deeply in love. Everything appears perfect until a shocking moment changes it all. During a casual and slightly drunken game where they ask each other about the worst things they have done, Zendaya’s character, Emma, reveals something unexpected. This one confession shakes their relationship and creates doubt just days before their wedding.

Talking about the script, Robert Pattinson shared how surprised he was when he first read it. “I knew Zendaya was already attached when I read the script, and when I found out the secret, my reaction was, ‘Wow, this is going to be crazy when people see her do this,’” he said. His reaction reflects how bold and different the story is compared to typical love stories.

Zendaya also spoke about what makes the film special. She explained that love is not always simple and often comes with both happiness and pain. “To me, this movie is really about what you are willing to accept for love and poses the question, ‘Is love unconditional?’” she said. She also added a personal thought about relationships, saying, “In my real life, what this movie has reminded me about love is: if you feel safe with someone, if you feel known by someone, and you feel seen by someone, then you feel like you can tell them everything.”

The film is directed by Kris Borgli, who brings a unique mix of humour and tension to the story. Robert Pattinson explained this balance well, saying, “Kris manages to ride this line of making the movie feel funny, accessible, and romantic but it also feels dangerous, which is great. Hopefully it will get people talking.”

At its core, The Drama is about trust, honesty, and how fragile relationships can be. It shows how one truth can change everything, turning a perfect love story into something complicated and emotional. The film invites viewers to think about what love really means and how much truth a relationship can handle.

Song name – Rasputin
Singer – Boney M

Check out Boney M. – Rasputin Song Lyrics

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people look at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks, he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes, a flaming glow
Most people look at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks, he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

Ra-Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia’s greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
But the kazachok, he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state, he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the Queen, he was no wheeler dealer
Though she’d heard the things he’d done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

Ra-Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia’s greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power
Became known to more and more people
The demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

“This man’s just gotta go”, declared his enemies
But the ladies begged, “Don’t you try to do it, please”
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
Then one night, some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they’re not to blame
“Come to visit us”, they kept demanding
And he really came

Ra-Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen
They put some poison into his wine
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia’s greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said, “I feel fine”
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen
They didn’t quit, they wanted his head
Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia’s greatest love machine
And so they shot him ’til he was dead

Oh, those Russians
