27 December,2024 10:29 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentVir Das has mourned the loss of the former Prime Minister of the country, Dr. Manmohan Singh. Vir Das, who used to host a show on a popular news channel, had cracked jokes about the then PM Manmohan Singh many times. Today, as the world mourns his death, Das reminisced about the old times when it was possible to joke about the leader and wrote, "Think about how far-fetched that seems today." Vir Das mourns Manmohan Singh's demise While talking about the 'powerful man,' Vir Das wrote a heartfelt note that reads, "Dr. Manmohan Singh said that history would remember him kindly. I'm happy to see that's the case on social media today. He had a sense of humour. Leaders mean different things to different people, I can only speak to my experience." He further continued and said, "Personally, I remember being in my 20s and doing jokes about him on prime time bulletins at CNBC with our team having been made fully aware his office was watching and we're okay with it." "He was the most powerful man in the country and we were doing jokes about him five nights a week on a mainstream news channel, that weren't even that great because we were utterly immature. Mind you this wasn't even on a comedy show but as a part of a 9pm news bulletin that every businessperson in the country watched. Think about how far-fetched that seems today. The mark of a truly great, secure, and humble leader, to my profession, is the ability to take a joke," he added View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vir Das (@virdas) He concluded the note by writing, "Great leaders understand that's part of the job, that powerful politicians and jest have always been historically intertwined, and that taking humour within grace makes them so much greater. In that respect, he stood tall above any Indian leader in my lifespan. Rest in peace sir" and added 'Rest in Peace Dr Manmohan Singh," in the caption About Manmohan Singh's death To note, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was also the first Prime Minister since Jawaharlal Nehru to be re-elected after completing a full five-year term.

27 December,2024 09:48 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentBollywood actress Mrunal Thakur recently took her fans on a nostalgic journey by sharing her audition clip for the 2019 film “Super 30.” Directed by Vikas Bahl, the biographical drama starred Hrithik Roshan as Anand Kumar, the mathematician who founded the acclaimed Super 30 program for underprivileged students. On Thursday, Mrunal posted a throwback video on her Instagram Stories, showcasing her audition for the film. In the clip, director Vikas Bahl is seen praising the actress, stating she consistently stood out during the selection process. In the video, Vikas can be heard telling casting director Mukesh Chhabra, “I was struck. At some point in the beginning, I realized she was the one. Even though we tested her three or four times and there were other girls, she was always ahead.” In “Super 30,” Mrunal portrayed Hrithik Roshan's love interest. The film is based on the life of Anand Kumar, the math prodigy who established the Super 30 program in Bihar to help underprivileged students achieve their dreams of cracking the IIT entrance exams. In an interview, Mrunal revealed that she was unaware Hrithik Roshan was part of the project when she auditioned. It was only four months later that she found out, and her first thought was of the iconic song “Ik Pal Ka Jeena” from Hrithik’s debut film. “Super 30” was released on July 12, 2019, and received widespread acclaim for its inspiring story. Mrunal, who began her career in television, became a household name with her role as the spirited Bulbul in the popular show “Kumkum Bhagya.” She later transitioned to films with her debut in “Love Sonia." Besides “Super 30," she has delivered noteworthy performances in films such as “Batla House," “Sita Ramam," and “Hi Nanna.” This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

27 December,2024 09:14 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentBollywood star Shraddha Kapoor, who was recently seen in ‘Stree 2’, is rounding up the year, with a major throwback. On Thursday, the actress took to her Instagram, and shared a video capturing her key moments from 2024. The video shows the actress enjoying some lip-smacking food, posing in front of a mic during a recording session, celebrating Holi with her friends, and enjoying the company of her loved ones. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shraddha ✶ (@shraddhakapoor) She wrote in the caption, “Koi mat bolna ke late aaya post, Christmas aur New Year ke beech mein sab maaf hai. Feb + Mar ‘24 throwback”. Earlier, the actress attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Finale Race 2024. The event is a highlight on the global sporting calendar, and is known for attracting celebrities and fans from all over the world. Shraddha joined an illustrious lineup of past attendees, including Priyanka Chopra Jonas and global names like Naomi Campbell and Orlando Bloom. In the motorsport world, tensions have escalated between F1 drivers Max Verstappen, who is expecting a child, and George Russell. The row followed after Max Verstappen was handed a one-place grid penalty for driving unnecessarily slowly on a cooldown lap during qualifying last time out in Qatar, leading the Max Verstappen to state that he had “lost all respect” for Russell over how he felt the Briton behaved at the stewards’ hearing. The last season of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was won by Max Verstappen followed by Charles Leclerc at second position and George Russell at the third position. Meanwhile, 2024 has been an incredible year for Shraddha, as ‘Stree 2’ raced ahead of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Jawan’ to become the biggest hit in Hindi cinema before it was beaten by the Allu Arjun-starrer ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’.

Taking to Instagram, Ananya shared several pictures from her Christmas party. The images saw Ananya in a diva avatar as she opted for a stylish outfit.

27 December,2024 08:53 AM IST | Mumbai | ANIA lot like Arjun On a game show that he hosts, Amitabh Bachchan revealed that though he is a fan of Pushpa 2: The Rule actor Allu Arjun, he’d choose to not be compared with him. Interacting with a participant who said she was a fan of both Bachchan and Arjun, the megastar said, “Allu Arjun is an incredibly talented artiste, and the recognition he has received is well-deserved. I’m also a huge fan of his. Recently, his movie was released, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you should. But don’t compare me to him.” When the participant insisted that the two have similarities, Bachchan asked her to elaborate her point. “Both of you have incredible entrances, and your styles are also quite similar. When you both perform comedy scenes, you bite your collar and blink your eyes. Also, both of your voices have a certain richness. Meeting you has fulfilled my dream; now I just need to meet Allu Arjun,” she responded. Life out of a suitcase When it comes to inspiring individuals to travel the world, the only social media accounts that would come second to those of travel agencies are those of celebrities. The latest one to pepper her account with images from her escapades is Saiyami Kher, who is in Australia, blending her love for cricket and adventure. The actor took time to soak in the sights, sounds, and spirit of the country alongside her close-knit group of friends. A self-proclaimed cricket enthusiast, Kher—who attended the India vs Australia third Test match at The Gabba—spoke of the high-energy atmosphere of the stadium. Beyond the field, she embraced Australia’s beauty, and shared pictures of her holding a koala and feeding kangaroos. Back on screen Television actor Hina Khan, who is currently fighting breast cancer, is making a return to the screen with Grihalaxmi. The drama is touted to revolve around survival, resilience, and personal transformation, and also stars Chunky Pandey, Rahul Dev, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya. The makers unveiled its teaser recently. On June 28, Khan confirmed that she had been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. In July, she announced her return to work for her first assignment since her diagnosis. In a heartfelt post, the actor wrote, “My first work assignment after my diagnosis. Walking the talk is challenging, especially when facing life’s biggest challenges.” Celebrating a veteran Celebrated music personalities, including Amjad Ali Khan (R), Shubha Mudgal, and Shankar Mahadevan, have joined hands to celebrate the musical legacy of the great Mohammed Rafi with a performance set to his timeless song, Abhi na jao chhodkar. Rafi would have turned 100 on December 24. The pre-recorded stage performance to the song has been produced by pianist Sourendro Mullick and vocalist Soumyojit Das, who also make an appearance in the five-minute-44-second video shared on YouTube. Big plans on paper Boney Kapoor has submitted the master plan for the development of the first phase of the much-anticipated Noida International Film City, and hopes to complete the work within three years post-approval, officials have said. Kapoor submitted the master plan to the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA).

27 December,2024 07:29 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamEarlier this week, it emerged that filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya has found his new Prem in Ayushmann Khurrana. The actor has been roped in for the filmmaker’s yet-untitled next. With the male lead in place, the obvious question is: Whom will Khurrana romance in the family drama? Insiders tell us that Sara Ali Khan and Triptii Dimri are the top contenders for the role. Sooraj Barjatya We’ve heard that the two actors are in discussion for the role, which requires someone who can embody Barjatya’s vision of grace. An industry insider revealed, “Sara has the charm and mainstream appeal that could align with the Rajshri universe, while Triptii’s nuanced performances in films like Bulbbul [2020] and Qala [2022] make her a strong candidate to bring a layered approach to the character. Ayushmann is already doing another film with Sara whereas it will be a new jodi if he teams up with Triptii. That said, Triptii is busy for a good part of next year with Vishal Bhardwaj’s film on Hussain Ustara and two other projects. Sooraj-ji will meet both actors in January, and a look test will determine the decision. Their chemistry with Ayushmann will also be another factor.” If things go as planned, Barjatya will take the project on floors in the summer of 2025.
27 December,2024 07:22 AM IST | Mumbai | Mohar BasuAt Rs 11.25 crore, Baby John is being touted as Varun Dhawan’s biggest opener in the past five years. But the Christmas release’s performance has left trade analysts unimpressed, with them believing that a festival offering warrants higher footfall. “The Day-One numbers should have been in the range of R15 to 20 crore; instead, they are apparently in the range of Rs 10-12 crore. Reviews and word of mouth are not strong. It might be a big opening for Varun, but for a Christmas release, it’s not good. A superstar is needed for Christmas,” says trade expert Girish Wankhede. Kalees’ directorial venture, also starring Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi, is a remake of the Tamil hit, Theri (2016). The average numbers have highlighted another aspect—the diminishing appeal of remakes. While some adaptations like Drishyam 2 (2022) have defied the odds, recent attempts such as Shehzada (2023) have faltered. Wankhede explains, “The success formula for remakes is becoming obsolete. Viewers have evolved, and they demand fresh narratives or significant reinventions.” Interestingly, Pushpa 2: The Rule, which now enters its fourth week, is earning better than Baby John. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared on his social media handle that Allu Arjun’s actioner “remains the top choice for moviegoers, even with a sharp reduction in shows to accommodate Baby John”. Dhawan’s film has a limited window to make its mark before Ram Charan’s Game Changer releases on January 10. Wankhede adds, “Even though there is a clean window, this film will not do as well. If you see previous strong Christmas releases, it has always been either a Shah Rukh Khan or an Aamir Khan [offering]. You need a big package to get audiences to cinemas.”
