Despite maintaining a discreet silence about their personal lives, the rumour mill has been abuzz, fueled by their undeniable on-screen chemistry that transcends the silver screen. Fans, eager to witness their favourite on-screen couple transition into real-life partners, have flooded social media with affectionate messages and hopeful wishes for their union.

Their enchanting chemistry was first witnessed in the blockbuster film Geetha Govindam, where their on-screen romance felt remarkably genuine. Their collaboration in Dear Comrade further solidified their position as Tollywood’s most beloved duo, reinforcing fans’ belief in a potential off-screen relationship due to their evident connection and friendship on and off the set.

Public appearances together have only added fuel to the speculation. From joint festival celebrations that hinted at a deeper connection to delightful vacations, every move of Vijay and Rashmika has grabbed attention. Rashmika’s Diwali celebrations at Vijay Deverakonda’s Hyderabad residence were particularly intriguing, adding weight to the speculation and hinting at a possible relationship blossoming behind the scenes.

While neither side has officially confirmed these rumours, the anticipation among fans for a potential engagement in the second week of February is palpable. Until any official statement is released, fans can only continue to manifest, speculate, and eagerly await the day when Vijay and Rashmika might announce their transition from reel-to-real romance.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr Mahindra wrote, “There is a powerful virtuous cycle created when a country produces movies which tell the stories of their heroes. Especially about soldiers & narratives of leadership & courage. The pride & self belief of people multiplies. More heroes emerge when people know their courage will be feted”. 

Further, in his post, the Mahindra Group Chairman drew parallels with Hollywood which is renowned for the creation of this virtuous cycle for over a century. He praised the movie and noted that ‘Gazab ka banda, sab ka banda’ song rightly suggests the same. Mr Mahindra went on to thank producer Ronnie Screvala for making such movies. He also praised Vicky Kaushal for transforming himself into Sam Bahadur. 

“Hollywood has created this virtuous cycle for a century. So thank you @RonnieScrewvala for making such movies for us. Especially about this ‘gazab ka banda, sab ka banda’ as the song says. The movie isn’t flawless but @vickykaushal09 transforms himself into Sam Bahadur in a goosebump-raising and award-winning characterisation. Go see it and cheer an authentic Indian Hero,” Mr Mahindra wrote in the caption of the post. 

‘Sam Bahadur’ is the biopic on the life and times of Sam Manekshaw, who was the Chief of the Army Staff of the Indian Army during the India-Pakistan war in 1971. He also holds the distinction of being the first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the rank of field marshal. The movie has been directed by Meghna Gulzar. 

Post a commentThe film opened to stellar reviews on Friday. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, gave Sam Bahadur a 3.5 star rating out of 5 and he wrote, “It would be easy to describe Sam Bahadur as a Vicky Kaushal show because it is who dominates every major scene in the film. But without the fine balance that Meghna Gulzar strikes between ambition and restraint, neither the spirited central performance nor its emotional (and cinematic) payoff would have been quite as remarkable”.

The older man’s wife pipes up once in a while in an attempt to get a word in edgewise but fails miserably. The husband shuts her up. The son’s wife has much more to say, but all the vacuous verbiage that she foists upon her husband – and the audience – is just that, vacuous verbiage.

Mixed with bushels of superficial style, the unbridled excess of the Ranbir Kapoor starrer just goes on and on, deigning to stop at absolutely nothing. When the hero’s elder sister is ragged in college, he, a schoolboy with a pathological sense of entitlement, barges into her classroom with a gun and fires several rounds.

His father ticks him off sternly and even calls him a criminal. But the boy is beyond chastisement. He believes that it is perfectly fine for a man to stand up for his sister when she is in trouble. The rest of the noxious film offers a litany of excuses for a protagonist who is clearly in need of psychiatric care.

Ranbir Kapoor  delivers a powerful performance that is supported with customary elan by Anil Kapoor. But because the film is propelled in the main by problematic means and instincts, the efforts of the two stars can only go abegging. You want to look away when the two are peddling their wares.

The story of a boy’s manic adoration for his super wealthy industrialist-father who does not have the time to reciprocate the overflowing filial ardour is nearly three and a half hours long. But that is only one of the reasons why Animal is an exhausting film. In every which way, it is an all-out assault on the senses.

Animal is the kind of film that would have us believe that it is no big deal for a loving son to go berserk when it comes to tackling those who threaten the well-being of his dad and his two sisters. Since danger seems to lurk over the family at every corner, he has the licence to be as boorish as he wants to be.

The protagonist (Ranbir Kapoor) goes hell for leather, spills tons of blood, kills tens of people and blows hot and hotter when he figures out that a conspiracy is indeed afoot to eliminate the patriarch and rob his family of the steel plant that it owns.

Even in love, there is no room for niceties for this my-way-or-the-highway guy. He does not so much as fall in love as make a grab for it. He does not propose marriage. He literally demands it.

All that he appears to be interested in is unquestioning allegiance from the girl, Geetanjali (Rashmika Mandanna), who he had the hots for as a schoolboy but hasn’t met since his angry dad, Balbir Singh, packed him off to the US in the hope of seeing him turn a new leaf.

But nothing changes. Ranvijay Singh is back and he is worse than ever before. The lady plays along without a whimper. Not only does she not demonstrate any sort of willpower of her own, she also seems to be thrilled at the prospect of being swept away from her engagement party and hustled into a marriage against her parents’ wishes. He own does not count for much.

Not that she does not have a voice but her utterances and positions are mere reactions to what the man in her life does entirely of his own volition and then feigns that his actions are consensual. When he strays from his wife and develops a bond with another girl (Triptii Dimri), he proffers the kind of untenable logic that only a man like him can.

If the hero is the way that he is, can the antagonist (Bobby Deol, who struggles to make an impact in a severely abbreviated appearance) be any different? He is not. The bad guy – he lives in faraway Scotland and pretty much does whatever his damaged heart desires – pops up after Animal has run well over half its course.

Not to be left behind, the vicious villain spares no effort to prove that he is as bloodthirsty as Ranvijay Singh, the scion of the business group that owns Swastik Steel. The two men are caught in a deadly blood feud. A vile attack on Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor) by men who want to wrest control of the ageing tycoon’s business empire elicits a reprisal so venomous that is triggers an unending cycle of violence.

To justify that it is a man’s world, Animal presents two men who are as physically impaired as they are mentally scarred. One loses all sense of taste and smell and is unable to hear after sustaining six bullet wounds that push his heart to the brink of collapse.

The other cannot speak. He communicates with the help of a brother who serves as a sign language interpreter. When the two men square off in the climax – it is, like such clashes usually are in vengeance sagas of this sort, staged on the tarmac of an airstrip.

If you think that the physical shortcomings that the warring pair has to deal with are meant to be seen as a metaphor for what men of their ilk lack, banish that thought. Everything that the hero does in order to ensure that he has his way is backed up with an odious justification. What motive could be greater, Animal seems to ask the audience, than a man’s desire to win the attention of his distracted father?

If there is anything at all that can be deemed to be a takeaway from this off-putting and tiresome film, it is the background music. The gratuitously gory action sequences are accompanied on the soundtrack by folksy songs – Marathi, Punjabi, the works.

One action scene has a whistled tune to go with it, another has a piece played on a string instrument. Music, unfortunately, is the last thing that Animal is likely to leave you with as you troop out of the theatre wondering what all the deadening din was about.

Sharing a still of Bobby Deol from the trailer, a user wrote, “The Real Beast…Feeling really happy to see this guy getting his worth.”

“This portion of the trailer is next level,” wrote an X user sharing a clip of Bobby Deol from the trailer.

Inputs from another user: “This man is inbuilt terrific.”

A popular opinion on X it seems – “Favourite scene of trailer,” wrote an X user, sharing a clip featuring Bobby Deol.

Just some more posts to sum up the Bobby Deol effect:

Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com

Bobby Deol made his Bollywood debut with the 1995 film Barsaat, co-starring Twinkle Khanna. He has starred in films like Soldier, Badal, Gupt, Race 3, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo, to name a few.

Post a commentHis next project is Animal with Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. Bobby Deol will also feature in the second installment of the 2007 film Apne with his dad Dharmendra and brother Sunny Deol. The film will also star Sunny’s son Karan Deol. He will also star in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, he revealed during Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan 8.

The deepfake video surfaced on social media a few days back. It tricked several users into believing that the woman changing outfits in the edited video was the ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ star herself. However, BoomLive and other websites pointed out that the video was altered using artificial intelligence (AI) tools, which have the ability to manipulate and replace a person’s face in videos and pictures, often leading to fabricated content. 

The influencer, identified as Rosie Breen, originally posted the video on TikTok on June 5, 2023, as part of the ‘Get Ready With Me’ (GRWM) trend. But in the edited video which is now going viral online, Breen’s face seems to have been replaced by that of Kajol, and it has been made to look like the actress is changing outfits and showing off her body on camera. 

Notably, the latest video has emerged amidst growing concerns around deepfake after videos and pictures of popular actresses went viral. In Katrina Kaif’s case, a digitally altered image of the actress from her upcoming film ‘Tiger 3’ surfaced online. While the original picture showed the Bollywood star fighting a stuntwoman clad in a towel, the edited version showed her wearing a low-cut white top and a matching bottom instead of the towel.

In Rashmika Mandanna’s case, a deepfake video showed a woman, dressed in black, entering a lift. However, her face was morphed and edited in a way that it resembled the actor. Several social media users pointed out that the video is fake, raising questions on how “unreliable” information is spreading rapidly on the internet. Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan also demanded legal action after the morphed video started circulating online. Rashmika Mandanna reacted to the same and called it “extremely scary”. 

Post a commentAn FIR was registered against unknown individuals by the Delhi Police in Mandanna’s case. The cops later also questioned a 19-year-old from Bihar in connection to the case as they suspected that he was the first one to upload the video on social media.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Tiger 3 is a bonafide blockbuster. The third instalment in the Tiger franchise not only gave Salman Khan his biggest opening yet but has also breezed past the ₹ 100 crore mark in just two days. After making ₹ 43 crore on Day 1 according to Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has made ₹ 57.5 crore on Day 2, a report by sacnilk.com has shared. Tiger 3 which also features Emraan Hashmi as the primary antagonist has been helmed by Maneesh Sharma. The spy thriller is the fifth film in the YRF Spy Universe and has been released in Telugu and Tamil, in addition to Hindi.

As per Taran Adarsh, in addition to giving Salman Khan his biggest opening yet, Tiger 3 is also the “highest opener on Diwali Day” in Bollywood. Calling the film a “game changer”, Taran Adarsh shared, “While no major Hindi film has released on Diwali Day in more than a decade (film biz is severely impacted since people are busy with festivities and Laxmi Puja), Tiger 3 emerges a game changer. Decimates all BO records for Diwali Day. Hold on, not only is Tiger 3 the highest opener on Diwali Day, but also Salman Khan’s biggest opener ever (yes, you read that right!). Sunday ₹ 43 cr. India biz. Hindi version. Box office.”

With this, Salman Khan’s top five openers are now Tiger 3, Bharat, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.

Taran Adarsh also offered details of the first-day earnings of the other two films in the Tiger franchise – Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai. Take a look:

About the film, NDTV’s Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “Since the spies are here to stay, as are the explosions, gunfights and hand-to-hand combats that come with the territory, we might as well get used to it. Tiger 3 might help. It is a film that, for the most part, stays on the rails.” 

Post a commentIn addition to the Tiger franchise, other films in the YRF Spy Universe include Pathaan led by Shah Rukh Khan and War headlined by Hrithik Roshan.

“While no major Hindi film has released on Diwali Day in more than a decade (film biz is severely impacted, since people are busy with festivities and Laxmi Puja), Tiger 3 emerges a game changer. Decimates all BO records for Diwali Day. Hold on, not only is Tiger 3 the highest opener on Diwali Day, but also Salman Khan’s biggest opener ever (yes, you read that right!). Sunday ₹ 43 cr. India biz. Hindi version. Box office,” posted Taran Adarsh, adding a break up of the regional score as well as the first day performance of all three Tiger films.

Salman Khan’s top five openers are now Tiger 3, Bharat, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.

The Diwali total appears to be auspicious – a Day 2 forecast by Mr Adarsh predicts a “massive total” by the end of Monday.

In his review of Tiger 3 for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee said, “In his third outing as superspy Avinash Singh Rathore alias Tiger, Salman Khan, with aid of a story by producer Aditya Chopra and a screenplay from Shridhar Raghavan, proves that there is always a great deal of purchase from the spectacle of an irrepressible hero leaping off all kinds of perches and landing on his feet. The lead actor’s star power comes in handy, but Tiger 3 (like Pathaan and unlike War) is gender-agnostic. Katrina Kaif is allowed almost as much of the action as the invincible Tiger, whose death-defying feats return in the third instalment in a bigger and more brazen form.”

Bigg Boss 17 has kept viewers glued to their screens. After an intense week of drama and fights, it is time for show host Salman Khan’s Weekend Ka Vaar episode. A promo, which was shared by a user on X (formerly Twitter), reveals that  Aishwarya Sharma is on Salman’s radar. In the clip, Salman Khan can be heard slamming Aishwarya for disrespecting her husband and housemate Neil Bhatt. Salman was upset about Aishwarya’s attitude towards Neil during their recent fights. He added that Aishwarya disrespects Neil, and eventually, this will turn into a “toxic relationship”. The video began with Salman Khan telling Aishwarya, how she sounds during a fight. He said, “Aye chal, tu chal. [Get lost, you get lost.]” He asked Aishwarya if she wanted to take her fight to a level where Neil Bhatt loses his patience.

Salman Khan added, “Kitna patience aap [Aishwarya Sharma] iska [Neil Bhatt] try karogi? Jo disrespect aap Neil [Bhatt] ke saath karti hai that is not ok. Ye bada hi toxic relationship banne wala hai. This is the one and only formula for disaster” (How much are you going to test his patience? The way you disrespect Neil is not ok. This is turning out to be a very toxic relationship.)”

ICYMI, a few days back, Aishwarya Sharma and Neil Bhatt had multiple intense fights for various reasons. The heated arguments between the two began after Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain voted against them. 

The Bigg Boss 17 promo hinted that after Aishwarya Sharma, Salman Khan will also school Mannara Chopra. 

The Weekend Ka Vaar episode also comes along with a sweet Diwali surprise for fans. Salman Khan will also welcome his Tiger 3 co-star Katrina Kaif in the episode. The two stars will also set the stage ablaze with their performance.

Salman Khan will also eliminate one of the nominated contestants today. Ankita Lokhande, Mannara Chopra, Neil Bhatt, Aishwarya Sharma and Samarth Jurel are among the housemates who have been nominated this week.
