Kerala HC wants to see The Kerala Story 2 after discovering that the teaser and trailer misrepresent the state.

Kerala HC wants to see The Kerala Story 2 after discovering that the teaser and trailer misrepresent the state.

The Kerala High Court on Tuesday (February 24, 2026) requested that the movie be shown to it on Wednesday, claiming that the teaser and trailer for The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond "wrongly portrays" the people of Kerala. Since Kerala is mentioned in the title by the filmmakers, who claim that the film tells a pan-Indian story, the concerns of the people of the State cannot be disregarded. Tensions within the community could result from this," it stated."You don't think the Court ought to see the film. "You want the question of whether this petition is a private or public litigation to be resolved," the court said. The Court made the observation during the hearing of three petitions from people who wanted to prevent the film's release and have the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) certificate revoked because they believed the movie stigmatized and misrepresented Kerala, which could cause tensions and discord among communities. The Court noted that the petitioners' concerns seemed prima facie justified because the movie was being projected as "inspired by true events" and prominently carried the name of the state in its title, even though the sequels' plot had no real connection to Kerala. The Court then expressed its inclination to watch the film during the morning hearing. Therefore, it requested that the producer and the CBFC's legal representatives obtain guidance regarding the best time to screen the film for the Court. Additionally, the movie producers' attorney stated that the screening may go.

Lekin, I never believed in oiling before.Behind her shiny hair, Chitrangada Singh reveals a secret combination.

On the podcast Let's Talk for Namitaa, Chitrangada Singh recently talked about her hair care regimen and credited oiling for improving the quality of her hair. "I never used to believe in oiling, lekin bahut farak padta, oiling is very, very important," she said. The quality of your hair has improved since I started using rosemary, pepper mint, almond oil, and teen cheezon ko mix karke mujhe diya hai kisni.IndianExpress.com contacted Dr. Bhawuk Dhir, Consultant Dermatology, PSRI Hospital, to verify the actor's claim. He concurred that oiling has advantages, "but with realistic expectations."According to Dr. Dhir, "regular hair oiling can be scientifically effective, but its impact varies from person to person." He explains that oils don't directly promote the growth of new hair by activating biological growth pathways. The main functions of oils are as protecting and emollients. They protect the hair shaft from friction and environmental harm, prevent breakage, lessen dryness, and seal in moisture," he says. During oil application, a light scalp massage may also promote improved blood circulation. Dr. Dhir continues, "The evidence is stronger for improved texture and reduced damage rather than dramatic hair growth, even though this creates a healthier scalp environment."

As he accepted the directing award, Anderson remarked, "This is very overwhelming and wonderful." In the film, the director used Nina Simone's statement, "I know what freedom is: It's no fear." "Let's continue creating without fear. It's a smart idea.With a record 16 Oscar nominations, Sinners took home the best original score, best supporting actress award for Wunmi Mosaku, and best original screenplay for writer and director Ryan Coogler. Hamnet took home two prizes, including best British film, while the gothic horror tale Frankenstein took home three. One of the strongest candidates for BAFTA's best director and non-English language film categories was The Voice of Hind Rajab, a documentary exposing Israel's horrific invasion on Gaza. Sentimental Value, however, took first place in the non-English language category.

Gayle King's offensive question startles co-hosts Alex Cooper and CBS Mornings.

Gayle King's offensive question startles co-hosts Alex Cooper and CBS Mornings.

During the morning news hour, Gayle King is becoming risqué. During a Tuesday interview for "CBS Mornings," King gave Alex Cooper, host of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, a taste of her own medicine by asking a question that wasn't appropriate for the workplace in the middle of the show. You and Matt (Kaplan) are newlyweds. A year will pass. What is your favorite sex position with Matt, then? I'm interested to know."Oh my god, Gayle!" was the 30-year-old podcaster who was at the top of the charts' response. Can we have a conversation about that? Nate Burleson, co-anchor, added, "Producers said 'No!' in my ear."King clarified that she intended to draw attention to the intimate things Cooper can ask celebrities on her show without getting caught. "The reason why I'm doing that is I'm making a point here, because this is what Alex does on her show," stated King. "Katy Perry discusses her love language with her. Hailey Bieber talked about her favorite sex position because of you. Simone Biles regarding her psychological well-being."I did that facetiously because I knew you wouldn't answer," she said. The thing that strikes me as amazing about you, though, is that you're sitting there wearing those cozy hooded sweatshirts. You ask a lot of intelligent (ones) questions mixed in with these profane ones. And I want to know what's driving you crazy. How you manage to elicit conversation. And it's a compliment, I promise."  

Review of Thandel: Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya carry a complex relationship but are overshadowed by flimsy drama

Review of Thandel: Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya carry a complex relationship but are overshadowed by flimsy drama

The story of Thandel centers on a group of fishermen from Srikakulam who spend nine months in Gujarati waters and spend a month with their loved ones every three months. Nearly every family in this fishing village depends on this for their livelihood. Even though Raju's father, a beloved hamlet leader, died at sea, his mother doesn't stop her son from venturing out into the ocean since she sees it as a way of life. In a similar vein, Sathya is aware that his inner heart beats for the sea and can tolerate being away from him for extended periods of time.She is truly proud of him and even celebrates his rise to the position of "Thandel," or hamlet head. However, the story of Sathya and Raju has a cyclonic aftereffect when a butterfly flaps its wings in a nearby house.Review of Thandel: The film is rather smooth when it centers on the highs and lows of Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya's relationship, but as soon as it enters the murky seas of Pakistan, it transforms into a heroic story of improbable heroes whose grief is overshadowed by their bravery.Review of Thandel The saying "distant makes fonder" has always been true. However, this is rarely displayed with the same soul and longing as Chandoo Mondeti in Thandel. Chandoo crafts a story of passion that develops over the cracks in voices, the smell of a faded shirt, and the wind caressing a flag attached to a lighthouse, with the always reliable Sai Pallavi portraying Sathya and the incredibly effective Naga Chaitanya playing Raju. This love story, which thrives in the analog even in the digital age, is witnessed by the elements. The way Sathya even looks at Raju is lovely.When she is near Raju, who brilliantly displays vulnerabilities that can only be seen in a heartfelt romance, she radiates a great mixture of awe, romanticism, frustration, and a strange sense of pleasure in her eyes. It goes pretty well as long as Thandel concentrates on the highs and lows of this relationship. However, Thandel abandons control as soon as the film crosses the muddy waters of Pakistan, becoming a heroic story about improbable heroes whose grief is overshadowed by their bravery.

Black Warrant: Charles Sobhraj was more successful than practicing attorneys because of his skill in drafting petitions.

Black Warrant: Charles Sobhraj was more successful than practicing attorneys because of his skill in drafting petitions.

Sunil Kumar Gupta, an ex-prisoner who starred in the recently released Netflix series Black Warrant, talked about his encounters with prominent prisoner Charles Sobhraj. Black Warrant is based on a novel that Sunil Gupta co-authored. Earlier this month, the series was released to favorable reviews. He recalled enlisting the serial killer into his jail's legal paperwork department and discussed dealing with him in a recent interview. He claimed that because Sobhraj was so skilled at drafting petitions for inmates, his success rate was higher than that of certain attorneys.Speaking on the Dostcast YouTube channel, he expressed his extreme happiness at being appointed a "legal assistant" at Tihar Jail. "Sobhraj kept coming to me with something or other," he stated. He kept coming to me, even though it's not like I did him any favors. He enjoyed creating petitions for inmates. Unbelievably, his petitions had a far greater success rate than those filed by qualified attorneys. In addition to his education, he had experience. He therefore understood precisely what words to use while speaking to the judges. He said that his idea to establish a legal library within the prison was accepted. "I recruited other convicts because I wasn't assigned proper typists," he added. I also got a man named Gurdeep, who was convicted of murder, in addition to Sobhraj. A Captain Rathod, who was found guilty of spying for Pakistan, was the next person I had. Had he not turned to espionage, he would have been a general.The jail handbook states that each inmate should be used to the fullest extent possible, according to Sunil Gupta. "We used Sobhraj because he was skilled at legal documentation." However, Sobhraj "betrayed" Sunil's confidence by staging an escape and adding sedatives to all of the jailers' desserts on his birthday. Eventually, he was apprehended once more. After that, Sobhraj was put in jail in Nepal. He was repatriated to his native France in 2022 after being released from the Nepali jail due to his advanced age.
