The mythological epic has stormed into cinemas with projections exceeding $200 million worldwide during its opening weekend, turning what could have been another successful release into something far…

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 17: There’s a time when “entertainment” meant you sat in front of the TV, just waiting for your favorite show to come on — probably at some awkward hour. Now? That sounds ancient. Today, entertainment lives in your pocket. It refreshes every few seconds, and half the time it’s made by someone who started by filming in their bedroom.
