‘Regretting You’: A 2025 Colleen Hoover Adaptation | A Beautiful Mess of Emotion and Execution

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 25: Hollywood has a long-standing obsession — turning bestselling novels into cinematic sensations. Sometimes it works (The Fault in Our Stars), sometimes it falls flat (After We Collided). Somewhere in between lands, Regretting You — the much-anticipated adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel that promised tears, tension, and tenderness… and delivered about two-thirds of that. With Allison Williams leading the cast and Hoover’s diehard fandom ensuring early buzz, the film entered theatres with expectations higher than its emotional payoff. It’s not a disaster — just that rare film that’s beautiful to look at, but occasionally hollow at…

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 25: There’s never a dull moment in the world of regional cinema, and Chaniya Toli is living proof of that. The Yash Soni-led Gujarati film has burst onto screens with a spirited blend of rural comedy, social commentary, and a heist plot that feels both familiar and fresh. But while the early box-office fireworks are real, there are hints it might be more of a flash in the pan than a steady blaze. A Record-Breaking Opening (and a Rocky Road Thereafter) Chaniya Toli opened on 21 October 2025 and immediately turned heads — with an estimated…

‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’ – Love, Obsession … and a Dash of Censorship Drama

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17: In the glitzy pre-Diwali race to captivate audiences, the forthcoming film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat arrives with a heady mix of high emotion, big musings on love and obsession, and — ironically — a run into bureaucratic hurdles. On paper, the film appears to tick many boxes: a leading man in Harshvardhan Rane, a rising actress in Sonam Bajwa, a director with a flair for drama in Milap Zaveri, and ambitious marketing that screams “epic love story”. Yet behind the promotional sheen lies a more complex narrative: one of creative ambition meeting regulatory constraint, of emotional intensity courting…

‘Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate’ — A Soulful Gujarati Ride with Hiccups but Heart

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17: It’s always a gamble when a film dares to mix spiritual introspection with earthy realism. With Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate (2025), director Ankit Sakhiya takes that gamble for Gujarati cinema — and the result is, to put it diplomatically, uneven but earnest. What’s the Film About? At its core, Laalo is a simple man’s journey. A rickshaw driver worn down by life and guilt, Laalo (portrayed by Shruhad Goswami) chases a quick escape—only to find himself inexplicably trapped in a remote farmhouse. Cut off from the world, he begins to see visions of Lord Krishna.…

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17: If you asked me a year ago whether a Korean exorcism horror led by two nuns could open top of the box office, I’d have chuckled. Yet here we are. Dark Nuns (also styled The Priests 2: Dark Nuns) has invaded screens — and minds — in early 2025, bringing with it ambition, dread, and some stumbles along the path of faith and spectacle. When Dark Nuns premiered in South Korea on January 24, 2025, it arrived with more than whispers of curiosity — it came with weighty expectations. A spin-off of the 2015 cult-hit…

Tron: Ares 2025 — Jared Leto’s Neon Dream That Glitched at the Box Office

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 16: There are cinematic universes that expand. Then there’s Tron — a digital realm that seems to crash every time it tries to reboot. Tron: Ares, Disney’s $200 million cyberpunk gamble and Jared Leto’s long-gestating passion project, finally powered up screens this October — and, unfortunately, short-circuited on impact. The long-awaited sequel to Tron: Legacy (2010) was supposed to be Disney’s dazzling return to the Grid — a place where philosophy meets phosphor, where code becomes consciousness. Instead, it feels like a visual dissertation in search of a pulse. And yet, amidst the pixelated chaos, there’s…
