‘Misri’: When Love, Law, and Lights Collide — Gujarat’s Sweetest Scandal Hits the Screens

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 12: It was supposed to be a love story, not a law-and-order case. But then again, what’s cinema without a little chaos? Misri, the Gujarati romantic drama that was meant to melt hearts, ended up stirring a moral debate (and a few police reports) before even hitting the big screen. Set against the sun-soaked charm of Ahmedabad, Misri has found itself in the spotlight — and not just for its cinematic storytelling. A promotional stunt, quite literally involving stunts, turned what was meant to be a breezy marketing move into a cautionary tale on how not…

De De Pyaar De 2: When Midlife Crises Meet Box Office Calculus — Ajay Devgn’s Rom-Com Returns, with Charm, Chaos, and Caution

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 12: If Bollywood had a mirror, De De Pyaar De 2 would be the reflection it’s slightly embarrassed to look at — equal parts glossy and self-aware, humorous yet haunted by déjà vu. Ajay Devgn is back, playing that dangerously likeable man who mistakes emotional maturity for gym endurance, and once again, his heart (and age) find themselves in the middle of a romantic tug-of-war. Released under the banner of T-Series and Luv Films, this sequel arrives six years after the 2019 hit De De Pyaar De, with early numbers suggesting both nostalgia and skepticism are…

Predator: Badlands – When Survival Gets Cinematic, Bloody, and Beautifully Deranged

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 12: There are films that entertain, and then there are films that assert dominance — the latter being where Predator: Badlands has comfortably pitched its tent (and maybe a few skulls). Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the same man who brought eerie precision to 10 Cloverfield Lane, this latest entry in the Predator franchise walks the fine line between cinematic spectacle and primal chaos. Released worldwide in early November 2025, the film has already torn through the global box office with an $80 million opening weekend — the biggest in franchise history — and approximately ₹9 crore…

Maan Panu’s I’m Done: The Heartbreak Anthem of a Generation

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 8: Some songs don’t just play — they haunt. “I’m Done” by Maan Panu doesn’t arrive like a pop single. It drifts in like a ghost, carrying pieces of everyone who’s ever loved too hard and left too late. It’s not loud, nor vengeful. It’s the quiet devastation of someone who’s learned that closure is a myth and healing is just emotional taxidermy — you preserve the shape of love long after it’s dead. Released in late 2025, I’m Done is less of a breakup song and more of a cultural checkpoint. It sounds like resignation…

Why Everyone’s Talking About Baramulla — Manav Kaul’s New Psychological Thriller

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 8: There are movies that tell a story, and then there are those that linger like a ghost in the room — Baramulla firmly belongs to the latter. Streaming now on Amazon Prime Video, the Manav Kaul–starrer is less a supernatural thriller and more a poetic autopsy of grief, memory, and the unending ache of displacement. Directed by Amit Joshi, the film tiptoes through the turbulent corridors of Jammu and Kashmir’s sociopolitical psyche — a land as breathtaking as it is bruised. While the premise toys with spirits and lost souls, the narrative’s real haunting comes…
