Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most adored superstars in Indian cinema spanning a glorious career of more than 5 decades. However, he has also become an efficient role model for the citizens of this country. The megastar has emerged as the highest taxpayer for the financial year of 2024/2025.

According to a news report in Pinkvilla, Amitabh Bachchan’s earnings for the Fy 2024/2025 was a staggering 350 crore. He thus became liable to pay the tax amount of a whopping 120 crore. This makes him the highest tax-paying celeb for the current financial year. A source close to the development also informed the publication that the Kalki 2898 Ad actor has already paid his last installment of advance tax which came up to a jaw-dropping 52.50 crores.

An older main character that can somehow survive just about anything. A journey toward certain death through reckless violence. A man’s psychological entrapment becomes his own unique kind of living purgatory. These are only a few of the themes found in the John Wick franchise. They're also key components of Karl Urban's character in the 2012 sci-fi action movie Dredd, written by Ex Machina and Civil War filmmaker Alex Garland.

Released in 2014, the first John Wick movie was a surprise hit and paved the way for many more to come. Besides the four movies, there are an additional four in the works, including an official fifth chapter, two spin-offs, and an animated production. But no matter what, the genre of John Wick seemingly stays the same throughout the numerous projects. That is, a modern-day crime action movie. But what if you wanted to watch that same type of one-man-army protagonist in a different setting?...

No points for guessing, Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Pushpa 2 enjoyed a record-breaking spree in India. It is the highest-grossing film in the domestic circuit, with lifetime collections of 1265.97 crores.

Perfect Match takes singles that couldn't quite get things right on their first shot at "reality love" and gives them another chance to find love in front of the camera. It was a no-brainer for production company Kinetic Content to re-purpose the singles featured on their popular shows such as Love is Blindand The Ultimatum and attempt to squeeze any additional ratings or viral moments from them. It was no shock to see Amber Desiree affectionately nicknamed "Ad" from season 6 pop up on Perfect Match. Audiences empathized with her heartbreak from Clay Gravesande after watching her hold out hope the entire season in the pods. Ad showed up in the sexiest version of bridal white possible before a groom who immediately complimented her body, but ultimately rejected her heart.

Several cast members from the eighth season of the Netflix reality dating show Love Is Blind gathered for the reunion special to spill the tea about the season and everything that has happened since. There were plenty of revelations, some confrontations, and new details revealed.

One piece of information disclosed at the reunion was the engagement of two former cast members. Many suspected this might be Mason and Meg, who confirmed they were dating after the pods. But it isn’t anyone fans would have expected, and the couple crosses over from two country versions of the show along with another reality series that also streams on Netflix.

Streamers throughout Europe are incorporating more ad-supported streaming video services into their television diets, according to a newly-released trends report from media research firm Dataxis.

The report found that hybrid video on-demand (Hvod) services grew by 783 percent across the top five streaming markets in Europe. Hvod is a relatively new industry term that refers to a streaming platform that offers both ad-supported and premium, commercial-free service plans. Netflix, Amazon’s Prime Video and Disney Plus all offer Hvod services in Europe.

A major growth factor in the rise of Hvod services in Europe is Amazon’s decision to automatically switch all of its Prime members to the ad-supported plan of Prime Video, which is now the version of the service that Prime members receive by default. The move meant Amazon grew its ad-supported plan adoption rate by 81 percent within the first few weeks of its debut.

When The X-Files first premiered in 1993, fans were blown away by its unique special effects as well as the endearing relationship between the two protagonists. The series completely altered the history of science fiction and proved that these shows don't always have to be centered around vast spaceships and ghoulies. Overall, it's fair to say that without The X-Files, this genre wouldn't be as successful.

While the show certainly has its darker moments, it also enjoys experimenting with humor. Whether it's a bizarre storyline of one of Mulder's unbelievably awkward Dad jokes, these moments help to add a bit of light-heartedness to the show. As such, a lot of fans believe that The X-Files works best when it balances tragedy and comedy.

Most recently, DC Comics entered the fray by confirming its Free Comic Book Day (Fcbd) line-up and sharing about the preeminent Dan Slott's upcoming Superman Unlimited.

That announcement helped bolster the news about the reinvention of the label's major heroes and villains called DC All In, which is coming this fall. The other labels also have some offerings for true comic fans. Let's review what we will see on the shelves this summer.

Troian Bellisario expressed mixed feelings about the surprise A.D. reveal in the Pretty Little Liars series finale. Bellisario wished that Alex Drake's introduction had been threaded out earlier in the show for better storytelling. Viewers might have preferred CeCe Drake as the primary antagonist, as A.D.'s late reveal felt rushed to resolve storylines.

Seven years after the finale of Pretty Little Liars, Troian Bellisario, who portrayed Spencer Hastings, gives an honest response about its ending. Pretty Little Liars was centered around a group of teenagers in Rosewood, Pennsylvania, following the mysterious disappearance of Alison Dilaurentis (Sasha Pieterse). Airing on Freeform (formerly ABC Family) for seven seasons, the show focused on uncovering the identity of A, an unknown adversary threatening to upend their lives. Although season 6 revealed CeCe Drake (Vanessa Ray) to be behind a lot, the final installment of Pretty Little Liars introduced an entirely new antagonist in A.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have been friends for a long time despite being often compared to one another due to their Hollywood rivalry. Both born in Massachusetts, the duo have created their own legacies in the film industry.

Matthew's difficult personality and lack of emotional availability make him the worst casting choice in Love Is Blind history. Matthew's actions, such as telling both Ad and Amber the same intimate things, showcase his toxic character and manipulative behavior. Matthew's lack of likability extends beyond the female cast members; his fellow male contestants also found him rude and uninterested in forming connections.

Love Is Blind season 6 participant Matthew is not only the worst casting choice in the franchise's history, but he also made a huge fumble in his romantic connections. Matthew, a 37-year-old Senior Financial Advisor, describes himself as a country boy, and viewers watched him form a connection with Amber and Ad. He fell for Ad because she was able to make him feel comfortable and seen. With Amber, viewers didn't get to see how their romance progressed. Matthew joins 14 other men and 15 women who are dating each other,...

Kody Brown's behavior towards his wives has worsened over the years, causing them to leave him between 2021 and 2023. Redditors agree that Kody's statement calling his relationship with Christine a "knife to the kidney" was incredibly hypocritical. Despite his bad behavior, Kody deserves sympathy for trying to be a family man, even if he only loved one of his wives, Robyn.

Kody Brown is tone-deaf, but many Sister Wives viewers think one of his statements is the worst. The 54-year-old man seemed like a decent husband to his four wives in 2010. He said hurtful things about them but tried his best to be a good partner. Unfortunately, Kody completely changed with every passing season. He grew more attached to Robyn Brown and gaslighted his first three wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown. As expected, the polygamous man irritated his partners so much that they decided to leave him. All...
