Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar’s highly acclaimed I Want To Talk completed a year yesterday. The film was based on the true story of Arjun Sen, a cancer survivor. His character was played by Abhishek Bachchan, who received a lot of accolades for his performance. Sircar got talking about the film in an interview with us.

Shoojit, your masterpiece I Want To Talk has completed one year?
Yeah, after one year of I Want To Talk, I hope that whoever has watched this film is touched by its message of resilience. I really hope it inspires some survivors, some cancer survivors who can really embrace this film and watch this film.
It is really inspiring
I’ve shown it to many of my medical and doctor friends, and they do feel that this definitely can up the ante, you know, motivate some of the patients who are going through this ordeal. So my only grouse is …
Yes?
People have watched it since last one year since its released. But still it’s not enough. I really would want that as days go by, you know, as years go by, people slowly can catch this film to see how simple things, how simple relationships can change your life, can make Arjun Sen from a ruthless marketing guy to a little bit more sensible, possibly more considerate human being.
The film has taken Abhishek Bachchan to another level
I am really grateful to Abhishek that he did this character. How beautifully he performed taking Arjun Sen from that ruthless marketing MBA. And then from there, understanding his daughter and relationships and going back and seeing what mistakes that he has made. I think all of that is a learning experience.
How has it changed your life?
I Want To Talk is a pure learning experience for me. And I hope people, whenever they can catch it and watch it, derive similar inspiration from the film.

Shah Rukh Khan recently paid a heartfelt tribute to all the victims of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the Pahalgam terror attack, as well as the recent Delhi blasts, at the Global Peace Honours 2025. During the event in Mumbai, he also urged the audience to take meaningful initiatives towards maintaining peace. In a video shared by ANI, Shah Rukh Khan can be seen saying, “My humble tribute to the innocent people who lost their lives in the 26/11 terrorist attack, the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and the recent Delhi blasts, and my respectful salute to our brave security personnel who were martyred in these attacks (sic).”
Shah Rukh Khan poem
The actor then says he has been asked to recite 4 beautiful lines, and he says, “When someone asks you what you do, say with pride that I protect the country. If someone asks you how much you earn, smile slightly and say, I earn the blessings of 1.4 billion people. And if they turn around and ask you again, aren’t you ever afraid? Look them in the eye and say, “Those who attack us feel it (sic).”
Shah Rukh Khan speech
Shah Rukh also urges the people to take a step towards forgetting our differences and maintaining peace. He said, “Let us forget the caste, creed, and discrimination around us and walk the path of humanity so that the martyrdom of our heroes for the peace of our country is not in vain (sic).”
Shah Rukh Khan’s fans comment
A fan took to the comment section of the post to applaud the speech, saying, “Only Shah Rukh Khan can turn a stage into a message of unity, grace, compassion, and patriotism delivered with absolute dignity, & that’s why he’s called the King of Indian cinema (sic).”
Global Peace Honours 2025
Vikrant Massey hosted the Global Peace Honours 2025. The ceremony features performances from multiple actors like Tiger Shroff, along with Ranveer Singh, Farhan Akhtar, and other big names in the industry.

During Weekend Ka Vaar in Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan addressed Ashnoor’s noticeable shift in behaviour after her father’s visit. When asked how she has changed, Farrhana immediately appreciated the transformation, calling her more confident and praising her “stronger personality.” But Tanya disagreed, saying Ashnoor has become “aggravated,” adding, “Unka real aur fake samajh nahi aata, chidhti hai.”
Salman Questions Ashnoor’s Sudden Change After Tanya Calls Her Agitated
Salman sided with Tanya, questioning Ashnoor, “Itne hafte kyun lage aapko reaction dene mein?” He further remarked that had this version of Ashnoor been visible earlier, no one would have said that Pranit made a mistake by saving her, a sharp yet impactful moment that left the house in reflective silence.
Salman Khan Calls Out Amaal For ‘Bullying’ Malti
In a sharp Weekend Ka Vaar moment, Salman Khan addressed the house dynamics around Malti, calling out how she has often been dismissed or not taken seriously by the boys. He pointed out that Amaal and Pranit’s behaviour towards her has repeatedly crossed the line into rudeness, leaving Malti unheard in many situations inside the house.
In the second paragraph, the confrontation intensified when Salman directly told Amaal, “Tumhara behaviour Malti ke saath bahut rude aur bad raha hai.” He highlighted that he frequently “bully” her, reminding Amaal that Malti’s reactions come only after persistent provocation. Wrapping the segment, Salman praised Malti’s composure, saying she has consistently shown maturity despite the behaviour directed at her.
Salman Khan Schools Amaal For Backfoot Play
Weekend Ka Vaar turned fiery when Salman Khan directly called out Amaal for constantly playing from the back foot, avoiding direct conflict, and choosing neutrality when it benefits him. Salman pointed out that instead of addressing issues head-on, Amaal often walks away, stays silent, or conveniently distances himself — especially in moments that require accountability.
He also highlighted how Amaal spoke about Gaurav Khanna behind his back, yet never confronted him directly until pushed, exposing a clear mismatch between words and actions. Salman further questioned Amaal’s pattern of only taking panga with people, “Jinse aapko pata hai ki jawab wapas nahi aayega.”
In the housemates’ reactions that followed, the point only strengthened. Pranit questioned why Amaal always talks behind people’s backs instead of saying things upfront. Farrhana doubled down, calling him dogla and accusing him of covering up his own statements. Gaurav added that while Amaal may be trying to “change,” he repeatedly crosses the line with Malti, showing a different face depending on who he’s dealing with.
Together, the segment became one of the season’s strongest reality checks for Amaal — putting a spotlight on his selective confrontations and backfoot gameplay like never before.

Predator: Badlands North America Box Office ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Predator: Badlands, the seventh installment in the Predator franchise, which premiered in theaters on November 7, 2025, is now in its third week of release. Boasting an 85% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score and a solid 7.5/10 IMDb rating, Dan Trachtenberg’s latest sci-fi action film has garnered rave reviews from both critics and audiences. On the box office front, it has earned $141.9 million globally, of which $71.7 million has come from North America and the remaining $70.2 million from international markets.
As of now, Badlands ranks among the top 25 highest-grossing titles of 2025 in North America, trailing just behind Tron: Ares’s $73 million domestic earnings, which it is expected to overtake in the next few days, as per Box Office Mojo. After outgrossing several of this year’s popular films, including The Accountant 2 ($65.5 million) and 28 Years Later ($70.4 million) in North America, the sci-fi actioner has also surpassed the domestic total of Leonardo DiCaprio’s acclaimed action thriller One Battle After Another. Let’s take a look at how these two films compare at the box office.
Predator: Badlands vs. One Battle After Another – Box Office Comparison
Here’s how the two films compare at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo data:
Predator: Badlands – Box Office Summary

North America: $71.7 million
International: $70.2 million
Worldwide: $141.9 million

One Battle After Another – Box Office Summary

North America: $70.3 million
International: $130.9 million
Worldwide: $201.2 million

Based on the above numbers, the latest Predator installment is currently leading the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed film by around $1.4 million at the domestic box office, a margin that is likely to widen as Badlands continues its theatrical run. However, on the international front, Predator: Badlands still trails One Battle After Another by roughly $60.7 million, indicating a significant gap in overseas performance as of now.

As of now, the supernatural horror sequel Black Phone 2 holds the 20th spot among 2025’s highest-grossing films in North America with a domestic total of $75.7 million. To surpass it and break into the top 20, Predator: Badlands currently needs to earn approximately $4 million more at the domestic box office. Given its current momentum, the sci-fi action film is expected to hit this milestone in the coming days. The outcome should become clear soon.
What’s Predator: Badlands All About
The film follows Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young Predator outcast from his clan, who forms an unexpected alliance with Thia (Elle Fanning), a damaged synthetic owned by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Together, the duo undertakes a dangerous journey across the wastelands in search of the ultimate enemy.

Week 13 of Bigg Boss kicked off with a twist; everyone in the house was nominated for eviction except for the reigning captain, Shehbaz Badesha. His immunity came at a crucial time, especially as the game inches closer to the finale. The participants up for eviction this week are Gaurav Khanna, Malti Chahar, Farrhana Bhatt, Kunickaa Sadanand, Ashnoor Kaur, Amaal Mallik, Tanya Mittal, and Pranit More.

According to the voting buzz, Pranit More has taken a solid lead this week. On the other end of the spectrum, the votes have placed Kunickaa Sadanand and Malti Chahar at the bottom. This makes them the weakest contenders of Week 13.

While fans were preparing for yet another unpredictable eviction twist, a major update surfaced online. According to a report shared by X handle, BBTak, this week’s eviction is expected to be straightforward with no last-minute saves or surprises. The handle claimed that Kunickaa Sadanand has been eliminated purely based on audience votes.

FINALLY! No twist… no save! This time it was purely audience votes, Kunickaa ji has been EVICTED from Bigg Boss 19. Makers tried saving her many times earlier, but this time…nope. Well played, Kunickaa ji 👏
Wanted to see her in the Finale? Or are you happy with this…
— BBTak (@BiggBoss_Tak) November 22, 2025

The update stated that the makers did not interfere or introduce any protective twist this time, unlike earlier weeks, where some contestants were temporarily shielded. The post also mentioned that the creators had supposedly tried to protect Kunickaa in previous tasks, but this week her insufficient votes determined her outcome.
If this report turns out to be accurate, Week 13 is set to deliver one of the cleanest and most decisive exits of the season. With only two weeks left, the game is tightening rapidly, and the remaining contestants now face immense pressure.

Rachit Singh was recently seen as a Betaal in Aditya Sarpotdar’s Thamma. The film was a part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. But much before making his film debut in the movie, Rachit has been working as an acting coach, who has trained quite a few actors. One of them is Shanaya Kapoor, who made her acting debut earlier this year in Santosh Singh’s Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, in which she was cast opposite Vikrant Massey.

In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Rachit said that the world will see Shanaya’s true talent in her upcoming projects. “You will now watch Shanaya’s actual potential,” he said. “Till now, we have only seen her in her first film. She is doing quite a few films in which she is playing different types of characters. She is a very hardworking girl.”
Rachit has also trained Aneet Padda, who hit a jackpot earlier this year with Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara. He gave her example for Shanaya saying, “Like how Saiyaara happened to Aneet. Of course, Aneet is very good but it’s also a good script and a good director, who can take that performance out of you. I think with Shanaya also (this can happen). She is doing so many different types of roles. She is working with so many directors.”
Rachit added, “I think once her films will start coming out, you will see her potential. Just fingers crossed for her because I know how hardworking and dedicated she is as an actor. I have been working with her from her first film. So, I have seen her journey and growth as an actor. I am just waiting for her films to come out and you guys to watch it and get blown away by it.”
As far as Rachit’s acting career is concerned, he will be seen next in Baby Do Die Do, which stars Huma Qureshi in the lead. The film is also produced by her and her brother Saqib Saleem under their banner Saleem Siblings.

Razneesh Ghai REVEALS the inspiration behind 120 Bahadur’s story, ‘My brother told me ‘
According to film director Razneesh Ghai, the story for 120 Bahadur, the war film starring Farhan Akhtar, was made out of a story that was narrated to him by his brother. He shared this at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. “My brother told me this story ten years ago, and it never left me Thanks to him, we are making this movie,” he said, talking about 120 Bahadur. Ghai also said that the story of the battle of Rezang La had impacted him for years before he started working on it almost five years ago. On November 21 during IFFI in Panjim, the film was premiered to a filled auditorium.
Razneesh Ghai next movie
Ghai was asked if his next project too will be inspired by the war film genre, especially Operation Sindoor, to which he replied that he would like to take a break from the war film genre. He said, “No, not right now. I will probably make a horror movie next,” while laughing.
120 Bahadhur’s plotline
120 Bahadhur’s plotline revolves around the Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 India-China conflict. The plotline is about the Charlie Company of the Kumaon Regiment, where the soldiers bravely fought the Chinese troops in sub-zero temperatures.
120 Bahadhur’s controversy
The film had faced a legal controversy before it was released. Members of the Ahir community, which formed the majority of Charlie Company, filed a legal petition, saying that the film had erased the role of Ahir soldiers.
Ghai, replying to the allegations, said, “I don’t think there are any issues there. We have given due credit to the Ahirs. I don’t know what they were complaining about.”
Farhan Akhtar on 120 Bahadhur
Farhan Akhtar played the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati. He said, “There are stories in our country’s history. Some of them we remember because we are reminded of them every year, but some, unfortunately, slip through the cracks. And we have to use the power of film and storytelling to remind Indians what came before us and that the freedoms, rights, and culture that we enjoy today came at a price.”

In a lighthearted Weekend Ka Vaar moment in Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan teased Farrhana with a classic, witty question, “Tum apni maa pe gayi ho ya tumhari maa tumpe?” Farrhana instantly replied, “Main apni maa pe,” leaving everyone amused.

Salman Khan joined in, adding with a laugh, “Agar tum apni maa pe gayi ho toh yeh main ek galatfahmi door kar deta hoon…” sparking an even bigger laughter burst across the house. What followed was a full-blown giggling session, making it one of the funniest highlights of the evening.

Weekend Ka Vaar turned into a comedy segment when Salman Khan playfully grilled Kunicka about meeting Ashnoor’s father. With his trademark humour, Salman asked, “Samdhi ji se milke khush hui? Ashnoor ke papa?” before adding in a laughing tone, “Unko bilkul khushi nahi hui… aapne unko seedha samdhi bana diya!”
Turning to Ashnoor, he joked, “Aapko acha lag raha hai inka samdhi banna? Ab toh raaste ka katta bhi nahi hai,” Salman Khan secretly hinted at Abhishek. Kunicka defended herself proudly, “Mera beta bahot accha hai,” to which Salman instantly quipped, “Unki maa ka pata nahi,” leaving the entire house in splits.
Soon after, Salman introduced a playful activity — “Kaun Banegi Kunicka Ki Bahu” , a fun task between Ashnoor, Farrhana, and Tanya to test their house skills for Ayaan, Kunicka’s son. What followed was a light, entertaining segment filled with banter, competitiveness, and classic Bigg Boss humour.

One Battle After Another Worldwide Box Office ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
With a 94% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score and a strong 8/10 IMDb rating, One Battle After Another remains one of the best-reviewed films of the year. Yet, despite the widespread acclaim and Leonardo DiCaprio’s star power, the action thriller didn’t become the blockbuster many expected. Still, with a current global haul of $201.2 million, it ranks among the top 20 highest-grossing titles of 2025, as per Box Office Mojo, trailing just behind Snow White’s $205.7 million worldwide total.
Now available on digital platforms and currently in its ninth week in theaters, the Paul Thomas Anderson film’s box office momentum has naturally slowed. That said, it may still manage to outgross a few more past hits, including a major 1990s Arnold Schwarzenegger action-comedy blockbuster. Yes, we’re talking about the popular 1990 film Kindergarten Cop. Here’s how much One Battle After Another needs to earn to surpass it at the global box office.
One Battle After Another vs. Kindergarten Cop – Box Office Comparison
Here’s how the two films stack up at the global box office, according to data from Box Office Mojo:
One Battle After Another – Box Office Summary 

North America: $70.3 million
International: $130.9 million
Worldwide: $201.2 million

Kindergarten Cop – Box Office Summary 

North America: $91.5 million
International: $110.5 million
Worldwide: $202 million

As the numbers show, Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest release is trailing the Arnold Schwarzenegger action-comedy by just under $1 million in global earnings. If One Battle After Another continues its theatrical run for a couple of more weeks, it has a realistic chance of surpassing Kindergarten Cop at the worldwide box office.

How Far Is One Battle After Another from Break Even?
Made on an estimated production budget of $140 million, One Battle After Another has earned $201.2 million globally so far, roughly 1.44 times its production cost. However, using the 2.5x multiplier rule, the film would need to reach around $350 million worldwide to break even at the box office. This means it still requires approximately $150 million more to hit its break-even target. Given its current momentum, it appears unlikely that the film will reach this milestone during its ongoing theatrical run.
One Battle After Another – Plot & Cast
Inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, One Battle After Another follows Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a former member of the revolutionary group French 75. His life is thrown into chaos when his daughter goes missing, and a dangerous enemy from his past resurfaces after sixteen years. The film also stars Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti in pivotal roles.
