Guess who’s back in the living room war zone? “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi”  has returned reincarnated, rebranded, and already breaking the internet. The Season 2 trailer dropped, and Twitter wasted no  time. From nostalgia overload to savage roasts, desi Twitter is delivering peak entertainment. Here's a quick scroll through the chaos:

First Look at Warlord  Shekhar Kapur’s AI-Painted Love Letter to the Cosmos Every once in a while, something drops that doesn’t feel like marketing—it feels like someone cracked open a dream and let it leak into your screen. That’s exactly what the first look at “Warlord”  does. Directed by the legend himself, Shekhar Kapur  (yes, Mr. Elizabeth  and Mr. Bandit Queen ), and presented by the fresh forces over at STUDIO BLO , this isn’t your run-of-the-mill sci-fi. It’s cosmic poetry. An AI-generated fever dream. And maybe—just maybe—a whole new language for storytelling. The Trailer: A Symphony of Scale & Solitude We open with a planet, not Earth, but hauntingly familiar. A sunrise, but not warm. It bends into a ripple of shimmering energy, like the planet itself is alive, breathing light. Then bam —we dive in. And suddenly, we’re not floating anymore. We’re on ground zero. A brutal, snowy wasteland. Wind howling. Mountains jagged like broken teeth. A lone figure cloaked in green stands still. No army. No war. Just him. Enter: her. A woman, not quite real. Part mist. Part memory. She isn’t walking—she’s emerging , like a spirit pulled from the wind itself. And then the moment that punches silence into your chest:A colossal jellyfish , made of light and longing, drifts through the sky. Bioluminescent. Alien. Divine. The visuals build, layering curiosity with emotion. A gaze. A question. A rupture. "CAN LOVE EXIST ACROSS DIMENSIONS?" It hits like a whisper screamed through a canyon. Why This Trailer Hit Me Like That 1. The Premise Is Bold AF A warlord stuck in one reality. A cosmic being from another. And the only thing that connects them? Love. Not the soft kind. The impossible kind.This isn't just sci-fi this is interdimensional dard-e-dil. 2. AI, But With Soul We’ve all seen AI art that feels… dead. But Warlord  flips that. It’s not using AI for hype. It’s using it like oil on canvas. The visuals? Unreal. Woman dissolving into fog. Planet wrapped in living light. Every frame feels like a dreamscape torn from a lucid night. 3. The Scale Will Break Your Brain From the granular glow of energy pulses to that massive creature looming like a myth you’re constantly shifting between intimate and infinite. It’s personal. And planetary. 4. The Music (Shoutout Kartik Shah) Kartik’s score is what ties it all together. Grand, emotional, atmospheric like the music already knows how the story ends, and it’s trying to prepare your heart. Who's Behind This Cosmic Madness? Directed, Written & Produced by:  Shekhar Kapur Co-Produced by:  STUDIO BLO Creative Direction:  Joel James, Rishabh Suri, Dipankar Mukherjee Music:  Kartik Shah Editor:  Krutika Mulekar AI Artistry:  Sameer Bhaya, Akif Mohammed, Anuj Pandey, Prathamesh Kharat Visual Design:  Alpesh Agre Production Assistant:  Naomi Duarte What Are We Even Watching? “Warlord” feels like more than a movie. It’s cinema 3.0. It’s what happens when a master storyteller is handed a paintbrush from the future. And instead of fearing AI, he collaborates with it. It’s asking the big, painful, beautiful questions: Can love outlive reality? Can loneliness echo across dimensions? What if we’re all just warlords looking up at a sky full of jellyfish, hoping something sees us back? This is just the first look. But if this is how the story begins...I don’t think we’re ready for how it ends.

Aamir Khan just did what no other Bollywood star has dared —He skipped OTT, skipped theatres, and released his latest film, Sitare Zameen Par , directly on his new YouTube channel. And yes, it’s priced at just ₹100 per view. No subscriptions. No streaming clutter. Just pure storytelling — on his terms. Sitare Zameen Par  is emotional, powerful, and deeply personal — a spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par , now reimagined for today’s digital India. This isn’t just a release. It’s a statement : “If the story is strong, the platform doesn’t matter.” With this move, Aamir becomes the director, distributor, and disruptor — all in one frame. Bollywood 2.0 has logged in. And Aamir Khan just hit "Upload."

If you've ever been stuck in Mumbai traffic with a grin on your face, chances are Malishka had something to do with it. For 20 years, she hasn’t just hosted a radio show she’s been the  voice of the city. From calling out civic messes to celebrating everyday heroes, from laughter to loud truths Malishka didn’t just do radio, she ruled  it. “Morning No.1” wasn’t just a time slot it became a Mumbai ritual. And she? Mumbai ki Raani, every damn morning. What’s special is how she made radio feel personal . She knew what the city felt, and she said it out loud. With her, it never felt like just a show it felt like Mumbai talking to itself. As she hits this insane 20-year milestone, one thing’s clear: legacies like this don’t get built in silence. They get built in voice, in volume, and in vibes. So here’s to Malishka for the chaos, the courage, and the chai-sipping candour. You didn’t just wake up the city you shaped  it. Can’t wait to see how you celebrate this one.

In the dazzling world of high fashion and entertainment, where collaborations often make headlines, it’s the stories of genuine, long-standing friendships that truly resonate. This was beautifully on display as actor Taha Shah Badussha took a moment to celebrate his dear friend and iconic designer, Manish Malhotra. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18kRQwWLms/ Following Manish Malhotra's "pure magic" of a fashion show in Delhi, Taha shared a series of warm photos and a heartfelt message that spoke volumes about their bond. The pictures capture the two sharing smiles and candid moments, radiating a camaraderie that clearly goes beyond professional courtesy. Taking to social media, Taha penned a touching tribute, giving a glimpse into their shared history. "It's always special to see a friend shine," he wrote. "We've shared over a decade of friendship, and I've seen your passion and hard work up close. Proud to stand by you, always." This simple, yet powerful, message is a beautiful reminder that behind every grand success are years of hard work and the unwavering support of true friends. In an industry often perceived as fleeting, Taha's post celebrating a decade of mutual respect and admiration is a testament to a bond that is as timeless as Manish Malhotra's own designs. It's a heartwarming display of celebrating each other's journey, from the early days to the pinnacle of success.

Let’s not pretend we didn’t all stop mid-scroll when we saw that  KFC ad. Urvashi Rautela, looking like she just walked out of an alternate reality in a red polka-dot dress, staring dead into the camera, claiming to be Pythagoras’ successor and the future Finance Minister — while Karan Sonawane silently questions all of his life choices beside her. And then, boom: “ It’s Epic Savers. ” Punchline landed. Internet won. Campaign viral. But here’s the real plot twist this wasn’t a happy accident or “let's hope this works” moment. This was a perfectly choreographed moment of chaos  by the creative and production team at DIY Solutions , and it’s honestly one of the smartest pieces of brand marketing I’ve seen this year. This Ad Was Born  to Go Viral Let’s get one thing clear — this wasn’t a traditional ad. This was a meme disguised as a commercial , and that’s exactly why it worked. Most brands are out here trying to “look cool” or “talk Gen Z,” but end up sounding like that uncle who just discovered Instagram Reels. KFC, with DIY Solutions at the wheel, didn’t just try to be internet-friendly — they became  internet-native. They leaned into the absurd. They weaponized Urvashi Rautela’s already-memeified public persona and built the chaos around  her. Not against her. Not despite her. With her. “Warren Buffet? ChatGPT karlo.”If you’re not quoting that line at least once in your group chat, are you even online? The Payoff? A Masterclass in Bait-and-Switch The whole script builds toward a crescendo of madness. You’re waiting for something anything to make sense. And then the rug is pulled: “It’s Epic Savers.” And suddenly, everything clicks. The product isn’t  just casually inserted. It’s the twist ending . The “A-ha” moment. The setup was  the ad. And the punchline is  the product. That’s storytelling. That’s marketing. That’s respecting your audience’s intelligence . DIY Solutions Deserve Their Flowers The real heroes here? DIY Solutions . They didn’t just direct a fun commercial they understood the internet . They knew how to take a “risky” idea and fully commit  creatively and in execution. When agencies and production teams work together seamlessly, this is the level of magic that’s possible. They trusted the weird. They embraced the chaos. And they proved once again: Safe ideas don’t go viral. Brave ones do. Final Thoughts This isn’t just an ad. This is the blueprint . For meme culture. For character-driven storytelling. For not  over-explaining your joke to death. For embracing bold ideas and letting the audience figure it out. KFC’s “Epic Savers” didn’t just sell chicken. It started a conversation . And in 2025, where attention is currency that’s the real win. Bravo. More ads like this, please.

Look, I’ll be honest I’ve never watched Avatar . Not the 2009 mega-hit, not the sequel, not in 3D, not in 4DX, not even on a pirated pen drive. I knew there were blue people, floating mountains, and James Cameron breaking box office records like it’s his day job. But that was it. It just never pulled me in . Until now. Until I watched the trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash . And suddenly, my “meh” turned into “whoa.” First Impressions? Pure Visual Poetry The trailer doesn’t even try  to ease you in — it just grabs you by the retina  and tosses you into this stunning, bioluminescent madness. You see creatures flying through floating rock formations like it’s some celestial safari. Water sequences that look straight out of a dream — glowing sea beasts, iridescent jellyfish vibes, and coral kingdoms that would make Finding Nemo  feel like a home aquarium. But what really  got me? The tonal shift. From Paradise to Pandemonium Just when you start thinking this is another cinematic nature docu-fantasy, the trailer throws a volcanic curveball at you. The color palette drains. Fire consumes the screen. And bam , there they are — a new tribe  of Na’vi (yeah, I Googled it), pale-skinned, blood-red war paint smeared across their bodies like war scars. And at the center of it all? A warrior queen . Not your run-of-the-mill antagonist, but this bone-crowned , fire-eyed force of nature who walks out like she owns hell and everything in it. It’s brutal. It’s primal. It’s art. One Line. That’s All It Took. The moment this queen steps into the light and says: “Your goddess has no dominion here.” I swear to God, I got goosebumps. Literal goosebumps . It’s the kind of line that doesn’t just live in a trailer — it echoes . I don’t even know the lore. I don’t know who her goddess is. I don’t know what dominion means in this world. But the line hit me like it was personal. The delivery, the world-building, the emotional weight — it all just landed . Why This Works Even for a Newbie Here’s the crazy part — I’ve never watched the previous films, and yet  I wasn’t lost for a second. That’s the magic of this trailer. It doesn’t rely on nostalgia. It doesn’t throw easter eggs like a Marvel clip. It just tells you: here’s a world, it’s in chaos, and it’s about to burn. And that’s all you need. There’s family drama. There’s tribal war. There’s a sci-fi vs. nature thing happening. But most importantly, there’s emotion . The kind of cinematic emotion that crosses languages, franchises, and even your own stubborn disinterest. Okay, So Now What? So now, like the hypocrite I am, I’m adding Avatar  and Avatar: The Way of Water  to my binge list. Because if Fire and Ash  is anything close to what this trailer promises — we’re not just getting another sequel. We’re getting mythology in motion . This feels less like a franchise installment  and more like a cultural reset like Avatar  finally grew into its true form. The way Mahavatar Narsimha  made me dream of Indian animated universes, Avatar: Fire and Ash  makes me understand why Cameron’s world deserves respect. It’s not just tech flexing  anymore it’s storytelling on fire. Final Thoughts I came in blind. I left converted . And to all the film snobs who think Avatar is just “blue Pocahontas in space,” I raise you this trailer. Because Fire and Ash  looks like it might just set the genre on fire again . December. I’ll be there. With popcorn. And finally, some context.

Let’s not kid ourselves Adipurush gaslit us . It sold us a dream, shouting from the rooftops about how we keep running to the West for our superheroes while ignoring our own. The result? A bloated, tone-deaf mess I wouldn’t even recommend to someone I mildly tolerate, let alone a close friend. And then, quietly, Hombale Films walked in.  No grand declarations. No chest-thumping. Just clean, well-crafted production and a vision that respects both its roots and its audience. And that  is how you earn attention. I’ve Been Screaming Into the Void About This If you’ve followed me for a while, you already know I’ve been ranting for years  about the absolute goldmine  of Indian animation talent that either sits untapped or is forced to look overseas for work. Our industry has been skeletal, almost ghosted in its own home. And yet, I still do this little thing every time I watch a Hollywood VFX-heavy movie: I wait for the credits, eyes peeled for Indian names. They’re always  there. Because the talent exists. But here? The industry is treated like an afterthought. There was a time when Bollywood tried . We had Chhota Bheem , Dashavatar , The Mahabharat , Return of Hanuman  (directed by Anurag Kashyap, mind you), and my personal favorite Arjun: The Warrior Prince . We were building momentum, and then poof no funding, no support, and certainly no courage. We just let it all fizzle out. Meanwhile, Hollywood kept building billion-dollar franchises off talking toys, dragons, and frozen princesses. Japan and China doubled down on their cultural roots. And us? We fed our kids algorithm-crushed Cocomelon content on loop and gave up. Enter: Mahavatar Narsimha When I heard Hombale Films (yeah, the KGF, Kantara, Salaar  guys) were entering the animation space with a slate called the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe , I rolled my eyes. Another mythology cash grab? But damn, was I wrong. Mahavatar Narsimha  is not just good — it’s a statement . It’s the dark horse we didn’t see coming, and if nurtured right, it can become India’s first true 1000-crore animated franchise . No star faces. No borrowed hype. Just soul. And vision. Director Ashwin Kumar gets it. He’s not here to repackage mythology as a gimmick. He’s here to build . And with a production house that respects craft, the result is a film that feels like a beginning  — a literal roar to wake up an entire dormant industry. The Story You Know, Told Like You’ve Never Seen The film retells the iconic tale of Hiranyakashyap  — the Asur king who defies the Gods, seeks immortality, and is ultimately outwitted by the divine loophole in the form of Lord Narsimha . But this isn’t a dusty retelling. Ashwin infuses modern storytelling beats , crisp pacing, and epic world-building  that can rival any cinematic universe in the making. You’ve got teleportation, divine battleships, power surges that feel straight out of a Tekken -meets- Mortal Kombat  fever dream — and yet, it never  loses its cultural grounding. This is not mythology diluted. This is mythology adapted  — for an audience that grew up on both Amar Chitra Katha and PS5. Now, Let’s Be Real It’s Not Perfect There are  problems. Facial expressions feel stock , the mouth movement is often off , and if you’ve watched enough Pixar or DreamWorks, you’ll notice the gap. But let’s be honest — this was probably made on 1/10th the budget of Minions: Rise of Gru . And yet? It dares to compete . It’s raw. But it’s not amateur . It’s just the first confident step from an industry that’s been crawling. And I’d rather watch a flawed but sincere Indian animated film than a perfectly rendered hollow product. The Highs? They’re Sky-High. Score by Sam C.S. This man doesn’t compose, he summons . His music in Roar of Narsimha  had me grinning ear to ear. It lifts  scenes into legend. The final battle? Gave me chills. Dubbing That Demands Respect Let’s normalize celebrating voice actors , shall we? Aditya Raj Sharma as Hiranyakashyap and Harpriya Mata as Prahlad give performances that echo with power and innocence, respectively. Despite the visual hiccups, their voices carry the film . Themes That Matter This isn’t just good vs evil. It’s about ego vs faith , power vs empathy , tradition vs tyranny . It mirrors our current world in ways that sneak up on you. Possibility. Pure Possibility. You step out of the theater and your head starts spinning — imagine a Mahabharat trilogy like this. A Ravana origin story. A Kalki arc. Animated. Indian. Loud. Proud. Why This Matters Countries build cultural soft power through their stories. Japan did it through anime. Korea through K-dramas. The US through everything. We? We outsource. But Mahavatar Narsimha  changes the tone. It's not asking for your validation. It’s demanding your attention . And if you’ve ever complained about “why don’t we make stuff like Pixar” — then show up . Pay for a ticket. Take your little cousin. Or just sit with the inner child who grew up listening to these stories  but never got to see  them on the big screen. Final Thoughts This is not the end product. But it’s the first meaningful roar . And sometimes, that's enough to wake up an empire . Watch it not just for what it is — but for what it can become . And trust me, Vishal rarely  says that after walking out of an animated film in India.

Raj Kundra might just be scripting one of the boldest pivots in Bollywood. Once known more for paparazzi controversies than performances, he’s now stepped into the sacred turban of Karamjeet Singh  for his new film Mehar . And he’s not treating it like a role—he’s treating it like a life reset. Mehar: A Cultural Reset for Raj Kundra In his social media post unveiling the Mehar  poster, Kundra wrote about embodying the values of Seva (selfless service), Sabhar (patience), and Sikhi (Sikh spiritual discipline). The film follows a Punjabi man navigating family and faith through quiet strength. It’s clear from his words: this isn’t just a performance—it’s a personal pilgrimage. Raj’s post reads less like a PR caption and more like a thank-you note to life. He thanks everyone, from co-actor Geeta Basra to light technicians, and calls director Rakesh Mehta the one who “helped me discover a side of myself I didn’t know existed.” Bollywood’s New Archetype? The Cultural Hero This transformation plays into a wider trend in Indian cinema—actors embracing regional identities not just for box office reach, but for personal credibility. With audiences now seeking authenticity over aesthetic, Kundra’s turn as a rooted, value-driven Sikh protagonist is clever and  culturally impactful. Plus, Mehar  isn't a gimmick. It brings together a powerhouse Punjabi cast including Baninder Bunny, Savita Bhatti, and lyricist Sony Thulewal—ensuring regional storytelling stays nuanced and respectful. Conclusion Raj Kundra’s message ends with “ Mehar is not just a film. It’s a blessing. ” Whether the audience sees it that way remains to be seen when the film hits theatres on September 5, 2025 . But one thing’s for sure—this isn't just Raj playing a Sikh man. It’s Raj trying to become one, in spirit. And in the chaotic content wars of Bollywood, that sincerity might just win.
