INDUSTRY INSIDER

Listen, I have covered box office wars for years, but Dhurandhar  isn't just winning; it has completely broken the simulator. We are spiraling because I predicted a ₹350 Cr lifetime, and this movie said, "Hold my chai." It has upgraded itself from "2025 Hit" to "All-Time Industry Disruptor" in the span of a single weekend. If you are still looking at Day 1 numbers, you are reading yesterday's newspaper. The volcano has officially erupted. The "Anti-Gravity" Trend (The Math Is

The Neighbourhood Winter Festival (NWF) '25-'26  is officially here, and the vibes? Absolute main character energy . This isn't just another event; it is a massive cultural gift to the city from Hon.

The "Main Character Energy" is off the charts. If you haven’t booked your tickets yet, are you even living in 20

Okay, stop doom-scrolling and listen up because the internet is absolutely screaming  right now. Netflix just pulled the ultimate "Main Character" move and announced they are buying Warner Bros. Discovery. Yes, you read that right. The platform that gave us Stranger Things  is now the owner of Harry Potter , Batman , and Game of Thrones .

Who Got Paid What? Ranveer Singh: Secured the Bag (and How!) Okay, we need to talk about Ranveer. Our man isn’t just pla

Okay, stop everything you are doing right now. Group chat assemble! We need to talk about Tere Ishk Mein . Yes, the movie released on Nov 28, and while we are absolutely living  for the Raanjhanaa  2.0 vibes, the internet is currently screaming about something else entirely. The box office numbers are giving "Blockbuster," but the pay disparity between our faves Dhanush and Kriti Sanon? Bestie, the math is not  mathing. We all know Bollywood loves a good controversy, but this

Okay, stop scrolling and listen up, because the box office tea is piping hot! If you thought the Tere Ishk Mein  hype was just PR fluff, think again. The internet is screaming, and honestly? Same.

Imagine you have a box full of your grandmother’s secret spice mixes absolutely delicious and authentic. But, you only share them with your neighbours. Now, imagine a big international logistics company comes to you and says, "Give us these spices, and we will make sure they reach every kitchen from London to New York." This is exactly what has just happened in the Indian music world! Warner Music India  (the big international truck) has signed a massive deal with Ultra Music

Remember the days when parents would scold us for watching too many cartoons or playing video games all day? They would say, "Padhai kar lo, isme koi career nahi hai"  (Study hard, there's no career in this). Well, times have changed, and now the government itself is saying: This is the future. Recently, the MAAC Manifest 2025  was held at the Rangsharda Auditorium in Mumbai, and it wasn't just another college fest. It was a landmark event attended by Adv. Ashish Shelar, the

Living in Mumbai often feels like a never-ending race, doesn't it? Between the local trains, traffic, and office deadlines, we often forget to pause and breathe. But sometimes, an event comes along that promises to hit the pause button and transport us to a world of peace and beauty. 'Ehsaas'  is exactly that kind of evening.

If you’ve ever stepped into a casting room, you know that it’s not just about finding a “good actor.” It’s about finding an actor who fits the grammar  of the medium — Bollywood, television, or OTT. After working on projects with the Adhikari Brothers  in collaboration with Reves Talent , I began noticing a fascinating rhythm: performance styles don’t shift randomly; they evolve to match audience expectations and narrative tone. An actor who shines on television might look sl
