Loot Kaand, Amazon Mx Player, Amazon’s free streaming platform, the drama series is making waves. Loot Kaand is an electrifying new thriller that dives deep into a heist gone wildly off script. Helmed by director Ruchir Arun and produced by the creators of Drishyam, the high-stakes story revolves around siblings Palash and Latika whose calculated plan spirals into unforeseen turmoil. At the core of this chaotic world is Gyanendra Tripathi’s Pinaki, a clever schemer caught between hilarity and havoc. Alongside him, the series boasts a stellar cast, featuring Sahil Mehta, Tanya Maniktala, Saad Bilgrami, Ronjini Chakraborty, Nitin Goel, and Amit Sarkar in pivotal roles.

Revealing which character, besides Pinaki, he’d love to play in the series, Gyanendra shared, “If I had the chance, I would love to step into the role played by Aakash Sinha. He brings such a wonderful blend of goofiness, innocence, and unwavering loyalty to the character,...

Every now and then, you come across a movie that is an unmitigated disaster and an assault on your senses, and you are left to wonder why it was made in the first place. Srividya Basawa’s Hathya achieves all this in its agonizingly long runtime. Satyajit Ray had once famously remarked, “We have a fairly backward audience here in India”. I think we have come a long way since his days. The average audience has been treated to some good cinema over the past few years, and, thanks largely to Ott, the Bollywood ‘star mob’ has been dismantled, with bona fide actors replacing nepobabies. We can tell good cinema from the bad now, and it’s criminally naive on the part of directors to presume us to be dumb. But Hathya does everything to overturn this conjecture despite its premise being the murder of an extremely high-profile politician from Andhra Pradesh.

Loot Kaand, which is now streaming for free exclusively on Amazon Mx Player, takes audiences on a rollercoaster ride in a series that is a high-stakes heist thriller that blends suspense, action, and situational comedy. Directed by Ruchir Arun, and brought to life by the creators of Drishyam, the six-episode series unravels the story of Latika and Palash – siblings bound by love, driven by desperation, and caught in a whirlwind of crime, betrayal, and survival. Tanya Maniktala breathes life into the character of Latika, a fiercely determined football coach who finds herself making impossible choices to protect her family. Alongside her, the series boasts a stellar cast, featuring Sahil Mehta, Gyandendra Tripathi, Saad Bilgrami, Ronjini Chakraborty, Nitin Goel, and Amit Sarkar in pivotal roles.

Reflecting on the dynamic between Latika and Palash in the series, Tanya shared, “There’s a universal truth about siblings — no matter where they are in the world,...

This spring is treating Snow White fans very well. With Disney's Snow White live-action movie out in theaters, a different film based on the beloved fairy tale is heading to streaming.

In 2012, Chris Hemsworth made his debut in the fantasy action-adventure movie Snow White and the Huntsman, taking a different twist on the beloved fairy tale. After some controversy with director Rupert Sanders and lead actress Kristen Stewart, the sequel put Hemsworth in the center of the story. 2016's The Huntsman: Winter's War is now heading to Peacock on Apr. 1 after being critically panned and becoming a major commercial flop.

The 2012 film was a retelling of the original tale, written by the Brothers Grimm. In this version, Snow White grows up imprisoned by her evil stepmother, Queen Ravenna, and after she escapes in the forest, the Queen enlists Eric the Huntsman's help to capture her. The first movie was a box office hit,...

This documentary offers a meticulous portrayal of the aftermath following October 7—a day of raw and jarring impact—and the rapid intensification of hate that followed. The film sets its stage in a moment of palpable tension, where the shock of recent events ripples through society, triggering a surge in discriminatory actions.

It situates its narrative against a backdrop marked by deep historical scars and the relentless march of current political strife. One can almost sense the invisible weight of history pressing upon the present.

The filmmaker targets the swift spread of hate, using her lens to highlight the interplay between social media chatter, campus movements, and institutional inertia. There is a certain dry irony in how the very platforms meant to connect us become conduits for division.

The film’s layout follows a clear timeline: it moves from the immediate shock of the day’s events to a carefully...

Marvel Rivals has been on a roll recently, amassing a massive player base in just under 2 months of its worldwide launch. The game is built on top of Unreal Engine 5, and offers a great deal of customizability and scalability across a wide range of hardware in the process.

Unreal Engine was always a priority pick for Netease Games, largely thanks to its utilization of performance enhancing techniques that sets it apart from the rest. In particular, two special, proprietary technologies power Marvel Rivals, ensuring smoother frame rates and less than 1% lows.

Unni Mukundan Interview Insights (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Unni Mukundan recently gained pan-Indian recognition with the film Marco. Before that, he was a leading actor in Malayalam cinema, navigating the usual ups and downs typical of a career in the film industry. Interestingly, he has not played a romantic hero in the past seven years, a fact he confirmed himself in an interview with Onmanorama, stating, ‘I haven’t played a romantic hero in my films, from Meppadiyan to Marco.’

His upcoming film, Get-Set Baby, which releases today, marks a departure from this pattern. Starring alongside Nikhila Vimal, he takes on the challenge of a romantic comedy, a genre he admits was difficult for him. Unni Mukundan also revealed that he avoids intimate scenes in films and follows a strict no-kissing rule for all his projects. ‘I want my movies to be appealing to all kinds of audiences,’ he explained.

Neek Review On X (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Dhanush’s directorial Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam, aka Neek, was released into the theatres on February 21, 2025. The movie marks his third directorial after Pa Paandi and Raayan. The fans caught the earliest show of the film in the theatres today and have been pouring in with their reviews on X.

Neek Review On X

One of the netizens stated, “Good fun, first half that is classy and free flowing so far. A totally opposite side of director D after Raayan. He showcases a middle-class guy who falls in love with an ultra-high-class girl. Production value, music, and Mathew Thomas’ one-liners.”

A user wrote, “The portrayal of love and friendship is so pure in the film.” While a netizen gave a 3.5 out of 5 rating to the film and said, “Director Dhanush is in fine form and has delivered a light-hearted fun film in Neek after Pa Paandi.

Mohanlal Officially Confirms Drishyam 3 In New Instagram Post ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The Drishyam franchise, directed by Jeethu Joseph and starring Mohanlal, began in 2013 in Malayalam and has become a massive success. It has inspired multiple remakes in various Indian languages and even a Chinese adaptation titled Sheep Without a Shepherd (2019). In 2021, the franchise received a sequel in its original language.

Since then, rumors about a third installment have circulated, though they were debunked last October when Jeethu Joseph clarified that reports of a locked script and an anticipated announcement at the beginning of this year were false. However, the announcement has now become a reality.

Mohanlal officially confirmed Drishyam 3 through an Instagram post featuring himself alongside producer Antony Perumbavoor and director Jeethu Joseph, standing next to each other, with the caption: “The past never stays silent. Drishyam 3 confirmed!” While the film is officially in the works, there is...

It was a rather curious night at the 23rd Ves Awards, which were handed out Tuesday at the Beverly Hilton.

The Visual Effects Society knelt before The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, handing it the marquee prize for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature — but it was the lone win on six nominations for the 10th film in the venerable franchise.

The bigger winners with four apiece were Dune: Part Two, which came into the night with a leading seven nominations, and The Wild Robot, hot off dominating the Annie Awards over the weekend.

That raises a question: Which film has the inside track for the Oscar next month?

Well, the Ves Awards and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences haven’t followed the same script much during the past decade-plus, with only five of the Visual Effects Society’s marquee winners since 2013 going on to score the FX Oscar.

Tabu And Maheep Kapoor’s Short-Lived Romance (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Tabu is one of the most celebrated actresses in the industry but her personal life has always remained a mystery for her fans. At the age of 53, she is still happily single, but there have been many speculations surrounding her relationships in the past. Did you know that she was once dating actor Sanjay Kapoor? Yes, you heard that right! The actress had started a whirlwind romance with Sanjay, but it fell apart after the latter cheated on her.

Tabu And Sanjay Kapoor’s Romance

According to Bollywood Shaadi, Tabu and Sanjay Kapoor fell in love after they bonded on the sets of their 1995 film Prem. Rumors of their closeness spread like wildfire, and the two soon embarked on a relationship. However, it was short-lived, as the news of their split soon surfaced in the newspapers.

Why Did Tabu And Sanjay Kapoor Break Up?...

Bollywood Mascot: Ajay Devgn, one of Bollywood’s most revered actors, recently shared touching insights into his relationship with his 13-year-old son, Yug Devgn. Speaking candidly in an interview, the actor revealed that Yug has a unique connection with him, marked by open communication and mutual trust.

The “Drishyam” star disclosed that Yug feels comfortable sharing every detail of his life, including matters related to his studies, friends, and even his first crush. According to Devgn, this openness is the result of years of nurturing a relationship built on transparency and respect. He emphasized the importance of being a parent who listens without judgment, allowing children to express themselves freely.

Ajay also revealed that Yug often seeks advice on personal matters, proving that the young boy values his father’s guidance. The actor described these moments as precious, offering a glimpse into the softer side of his otherwise reserved persona.

Mohanlal Talks About Drishyam 3 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Drishyam film series is among India’s most famous crime thriller movie series. Not just the original Drishyam, featuring Mohanlal, but its Hindi version, starring Ajay Devgn, has been a blockbuster hit. Fans of both movies are currently waiting for Drishyam 3. While the second movie did not leave much for a sequel, fans have complete faith in the makers to create a great story, just like they did with Drishyam 2.

A potential sequel is in the news again after a recent interview with Mohanlal. Known for his iconic portrayal of Georgekutty in the series, he has sparked excitement among fans by addressing the much-anticipated Drishyam 3 and the possibility of a crossover with Ajay Devgn’s Vijay Salgaonkar from the Hindi adaptation. But how feasible is this crossover, and what does Mohanlal have to say about it?

Mohanlal confirms...

Mohanlal Aashirvad Cinemas announcement (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Mohanlal, widely revered as the ‘Complete Actor,’ faced a challenging year in 2024. While he ended 2023 on a high note with the success of Neru in December, his two major releases this year fell short of expectations, failing to impress both critics and audiences alike.

At the start of 2024, his much-anticipated, big-budget collaboration with director Lijo Jose Pellissery, Malaikottai Vaaliban, didn’t resonate with audiences and turned out to be a significant disappointment. Later in the year, after multiple delays and reschedules, his directorial debut, Barroz: Guardian of Treasures, also underperformed at the box office despite Mohanlal playing the lead.

However, there is exciting news on the horizon. According to social media buzz, Antony Perumbavoor’s Aashirvad Cinemas, Mohanlal’s long-time production partner, is gearing up to announce five new films on January 25, 2025. The first project is rumored to be titled Hridayapoorvam, directed by Sathyan Anthikad.

Baby John Box Office Day 5 Early Trends (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The verdict of Varun Dhawan’s Baby John is now out, and it’s really sad to see that despite the actor giving his best, the film has faced a complete rejection from the audience. It took a fair start on the Christmas holiday, but the film failed to match those numbers by a big margin in the following days. In fact, except for the opening day, it hasn’t even touched double-digits on any of the days. Today, on day 5, the condition remained poor as the collection didn’t even touch the 5 crore mark.

In the post-pandemic era, being a remake is a curse, and the audience is hardly giving such films any chance. Only Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam and Shaitaan have been exceptions, but all remakes, even well-made ones, have tanked miserably. Unfortunately, even the Varun Dhawan starrer falls into the latter category.

Mohanlal Teases Drishyam 3 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Drishyam, Directed by Jeethu Joseph in 2013, was the blockbuster sequel. It was remade in all the other languages and saw tremendous success. Recently, the Neru actor, in an interview with Galatta, ensured the continuation of the Drishyam franchise and shared thrilling news with its fans.

Tabu Net Worth (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Tabu is one actress who needs no introduction. Many consider her an epitome of talent, versatility, grace, and stellar screen presence. Over the years, she has established herself as a powerhouse of a performer who has, time and again, left the audience impressed with her bold choices and experimentation with her roles. This has also been reflected in her soaring bankability.

Tabu’s Journey In The Entertainment Industry.

Tabu started her acting career with the 1985 film Hum Naujawan opposite Dev Anand and the 1991 Telugu film Coolie No 1 opposite Venkatesh. However, it was the 1994 film Vijaypath opposite Ajay Devgn which catapulted her into the main league. What followed was a glorious career spanning around 90 films. She appeared in films like Hu Tu Tu, Virasat, Maqbool, Chandni Bar, Haider, Cheeni Kam, The Namesake, and Life Of Pi.

Her second innings were followed by equally successful projects like the Drishyam franchise,...

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ reigned this summer’s box office and ended its run with $636.7 million in the United States and Canada and $701.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.338 billion, making it the second highest-earning movie of 2024 (after ‘Inside Out 2’ which earned a staggering $1.699).

Ryan Reynolds’ and Hugh Jackman’s MCU debut also has a strong 7.7 IMDb score, 78% Rotten Tomatoes critics score, and an incredible 94% audience Rt score.

The movie continued to perform well even after a streaming release. Within six days of streaming, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ pulled 19.4 million views, not so narrowly missing Pixar’s animated sequel film, which pulled 30.5 million views in five days. However, it wasn’t quite the record it beat.

It seems that Wade and Logan are not done, as ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ made it among 18 finalists for the Visual Effects Oscar ahead of the shortlist voting.

Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 Release Date Suspense (Photo Credit – Hotstar)

Ajay Devgn’s 2025 is all stacked up. He has four movies lined up to release next year. This includes Azaad, where he will play the warrior Maharana Pratap. Further, he will star in three sequels—De De Pyaare De 2, Son of Sardaar 2, and Raid 2. The shooting of Raid 2 is completed, yet the film is delayed once again, and now finds the latest release date.

The first part, Raid, was released in 2018. Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, the film was inspired by real-life events from the 1980s. It depicted Devgn as an Income Tax officer and his pursuit of justice against a corrupt politician. Devgn’s portrayal of Amay Patnaik gained widespread acclaim, and Saurabh Shukla, on the other hand, perfectly balanced the energy. Now, its second part is set to release in theaters. While it has already been delayed multiple times,...

Exclusive: Here is a project that we hear is coming together: Alcon Entertainment’s Canyon, starring Oscar nominee Don Cheadle.

The feature, which has Colin Tilley attached to direct with a screenplay by John Wick architect Derek Kolstad, takes place over the course of one scorching night. Canyon — a part-time jazz musician and full-time killer — finds himself the unlikely protector of a young siren pulled into a turf war between feuding crime families.

Producers are Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson and Davis Entertainment’s John Davis and Jeremy Stein, and Kolstad. Karyn Smith-Forge is also producing with Cheadle under their company This Radicle Act.

Cheadle was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars for 2005’s Hotel Rwanda. He starred in the Best Picture Oscar-winning movie Crash from Lionsgate and plays Rhodey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3 and Avengers movies as well as Disney+ series Secret Invasion among other titles.

Malaysian filmmaker Sam Quah‘s directorial debut “A Sheep Without a Shepherd” , an official remake of the Indian film “Drishyam” by Jeethu Joseph, was a huge success both in China and Southeast Asia. Interestingly, his follow up, “A Place Called Silence” which centers on bullying, is actually a remake of his own film from 2022. But due to the lead actor Jag Huang’s MeToo sexual assault controversy, the film never got a release in China. Determined to have a second go, Quah decided to remake and recast it with international stars and it paid off. After opening in China, it became the second highest summer scoring film and a huge hit all over Southeast Asia.

Set in a fictional city named Doma somewhere in Southeast Asia, the film kicks off with Tong (Wang Sheng Di), a mute student from Jing Hua Girls’ High School, glued to the wall by a bunch of bullies.

Director James Cameron often includes references to his other films in his works, providing Easter eggs for eagle-eyed viewers, and this is true for the Avatar movies too. In the Avatar movies, there are numerous references to various films that Cameron has directed, such as the Avatar theme being eerily similar to Titanics score. However, there are even more references to the 1986 Alien sequel, Aliens, which followed Ellen Ripley as she journeys back to Lv-426 to investigate why the Weyland-Yutani Corporations new colony has gone radio silent.

Following Aliens, James Cameron made multiple successful films and started the Avatar franchise in 2009, something which he had delayed due to lack of technology, and released its sequel, Avatar: The Way Of The Water, in 2023. With Cameron having a habit of referring to his other films, it comes as no surprise that the Avatar franchise references Aliens, especially as they both rank among the best sci-fi movies.

Giovanni Ribisi is one of the few lucky people who have already been able to see some footage of the franchise's upcoming sequel, Avatar 3.

Hence, Cameron's refusal to show any footage during 2024's D23 event. Things are simply not ready. But, while talking to The Direct at a red carpet event for Strange Darling (which he produced but also participated in as cinematographer), Ribisi revealed more about the current status of Avatar: Fire and Ash, saying that he has now seen "a little bit" of the movie and declaring it "amazing."

So, we just did some pickups [for Avatar: Fire and Ash] two months ago in New Zealand, and I saw a little bit of it, and it's just extraordinary. I can't say enough about it. It's going to be amazing.

Warner, Vet Venure

Warner Bros. Discovery (Wbd) has revealed a first-look deal with industry veteran Jack Nguyen, with a Korean remake of the 2015 comedy-drama “The Intern” set as the inaugural project. The agreement, made through Nguyen’s Joat Films, focuses on Asia-centric film projects, particularly local-language remakes of Wbd’s English-language titles.

Godzilla Minus One gained worldwide attention because of its incredible visual effects despite its small production budget, but mostly after it earned an Oscar this year for Best Visual Effects.

Godzilla Minus One / Toho Co., Ltd.

The story is quite simple: Japan has barely recuperated from the Second World War when a giant monster emerges off the coast of Tokyo. However, the implications are quite complicated because of its historical allusions, and this is probably the reason why the film only had a limited release.

Godzilla Minus One Faces Major Criticism From South Korean Audience

In an article from The Chosun Daily, Godzilla Minus One gets slammed by South Korean viewers because of the scenes featured in the movie. While it is considered a blockbuster in other countries, it is under scrutiny in South Korea for allegedly “glorifying Kamikaze pilots”. The post stated:

Box Office Performance Of Ajay Devgn’s Last 10 Films (Photo Credit –IMDb/Facebook)

The post-pandemic era has been a mixed bag for Ajay Devgn as far as the box office outcome of his films is concerned. Out of six films he has done, four of them have been failures in the domestic market. But this hasn’t impacted his hold at ticket windows, as his track record in the last ten theatrical releases (in a main role) has been good, with six successful films. Keep reading to know more!

Talking about the post-covid era, Ajay has come up with six theatrical releases. Unfortunately, four of these films tanked at the Indian box office. Runway 34 was declared flop during its theatrical run. His Thank God, too, was a theatrical flop. Even his Bholaa and recently released, Maidaan, were declared losing and flop, respectively, as per Koimoi’s box office parameters.

A recent update regarding Godzilla Minus One's U.S. streaming release has fans giddy over the prospect of the kaiju-sized blockbuster arriving stateside. 

The latest Godzilla epic from Japanese studio Toho Co. Ltd. debuted in theaters in late 2023, making a short but successful appearance in U.S. cinemas. 

Since then, a post-theatrical plan for the film (at least outside of Japan) has remained shrouded in secrecy. Even as the movie has taken on cult-like status, winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards, news on the movie's next steps outside its home territory has been in short supply.

Ajay Devgn, a prominent figure in Bollywood, has had a successful career spanning over three decades. With numerous hits like “Omkara,” “Golmaal,” and “Drishyam,” he has established himself as a versatile actor. However, like many other actors, Ajay has also been a part of several shelved projects that never saw the light of day. In this article, we will explore 7 such movies that were abandoned mid-production.

One of the earliest shelved projects was “Girvi” (1992), announced by Mahesh Bhatt, which never took off. Another film, “Kala Paani” (1993), directed by Mahesh Bhatt, was supposed to be an action-packed movie with Ajay and Suniel Shetty, but it was abandoned after the announcement.

“Singer” (1993), directed by Sunil Agnihotri, was a musical drama that starred Ajay in a dual role alongside Shilpa Shirodkar and Nagma. Unfortunately, the project was shelved after 30% of the shoot was completed.

With the release of “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” on May 10, this year’s Best Visual Effects Oscar race just got a lot more interesting. That’s because we’re almost guaranteed to get three, possibly even four, movies in the race that are follow-ups to previous Visual Effects nominees. “Apes” is likely to be the fourth movie in its franchise nominated for the innovative performance capture used to help create the film’s photo-realistic apes. Three previous films, starring Andy Serkis, were nominated for Oscars in the category in 2011, 2014, and 2017, but none of them won.

The work done by director Wes Ball and his team has made “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” a serious contender in multiple below-the-line categories, not just visual effects. Its production design and sound are equally impressive. But the academy branch that’s most likely to be impressed will be the...

Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan’s Shaitaan emerged as the first clean Hit of Bollywood in 2024 and performed much better than anyone ever expected. While the pace has now slowed down at the Indian box office, the film recently hit the domestic milestone of 150 crores. Apart from that, it has reinstated Ajay’s stronghold over the city of Mumbai. Keep reading to know more!

The Vikas Bahl directorial is an official Hindi remake of the 2023 Gujarati film Vash. Apart from Ajay and Madhavan, the horror thriller also features Janki Bodiwala, Jyothika, and Anngad Raaj in key roles.

Thankfully, after a brilliant initial start, the film got good support from the audience word-of-mouth.

Take a look at the ‘Visual FX’ reel showcasing the impressive post-production effects in the new live-action feature "Madame Web", based on crime-fighting superheroes appearing in Marvel's "Spider-Man" comic books, now streaming on digital platforms:

‘…she must protect…

“…three young women…

Maidaan Box Office (Paid Previews): Ajay Devgn Starrer Churns Out Decent Numbers, All Set To Rise Today! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

With change in plans taking place for its eventual arrival in cinemas, Maidaan opted for paid previews post 6 Pm on Wednesday. This made sense too since early media screenings on Monday had resulted in an all around positive response and hence Wednesday paid previews were looked as an additional tool to set the film up for a bountiful weekend ahead. Since there was no suspense/spoiler factor here, it wouldn’t have harmed the film in any way either.

As a matter of fact Ajay Devgn has taken a risk even the suspense genre earlier when he brought Drishyam on paid previews. The film actually deserved to do far better than how it did (something that was compensated in a big way by Drishyam 2). Now Maidaan too would be...

Ajay Devgn’s leading ladies: that Southern twist. (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Is it due to the fact that his first-ever co-star was Madhoo, a South Indian but

Mumbai-based actress, in Phool Aur Kaante (they co-starred again in Diljale)? Whatever the reason, Ajay Devgn has a predilection for South Indian heroines! Let us also not forget Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, for whom Ajay, along with Salman Khan, was her breakthrough hero in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. They later also did Khakee and Raincoat together.

The past list also includes the North Indian actresses who started out down South —

Kajal Aggarwal (Singham), Ileana D’Cruz (Raid), who did 18 films down South before her Hindi debut, Tamannaah Bhatia (Himmatwala) and Rakul Preet Singh (De De Pyaar De). And of course we have had Rambha (Jung) and Asin(London Dreams, Bol Bachchan).

The Ajay Devgn starrer is a remake of a Gujarati film, Vash, and the remake rights were bought by Mangat Kumar and Abhishek Pathak for this brilliant film.
