The Bollywood movie Battle of Galwan has caused controversy due to its factual distortion experts claim that a country's holy area cannot be impacted by over-the-top drama.
On December 27, main actor Salman Khan released the trailer for the Indian film Battle of Galwan, which is set to be released in April 2026 and purports to be based on the 2020 fighting between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan region. The clip sparked outrage on the internet on Monday. Chinese internet users frequently make fun of Salman Khan, who is best known to Chinese audiences as the lead actor in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, for portraying parts that seem too unbeatable, with stories that are too straightforward and excessive visual effects that make the drama seem surreal.Salman Khan plays Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu in the movie, a role that Indian media said attracted Bollywood's attention due to his alleged crucial part in the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict. Bollywood films, at most, offer an emotionally charged and entertaining picture, but no amount of cinematic exaggeration can change history or undermine the PLA's resolve to protect China's sovereign land, according to a Chinese scholar on Monday.The Hindustan Times reported on Sunday that the trailer opens with Salman's voice giving a speech while instructing his soldiers on how to combat the "enemy." He is then shown in the video approaching the "enemy," with his soldiers standing next to him. He is then shown clinging to a stick while the "enemy" rushes in their direction. Salman's character strikes someone with the stick as the video comes to a close. On the other hand, some online users questioned whether the movie had imitated a sequence from Game of Thrones.The movie has also sparked additional controversy on the internet, with users pointing to things like extras' outfits and looks, actors' hairstyles that don't fit their military roles or the storyline's suggestion of extreme cold, and—most importantly—a depiction of events that isn't true. About 200 Indian soldiers valiantly defended their land against a force of 1,200 Chinese soldiers on June 15, 2020, according to certain local media, notably India Today, which has promoted the movie as being based on the events that occurred between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan region.

Mandira highlights the significance of discovering sustainable diets and striking a balance between eating what you enjoy and maintaining your fitness on this International No Diet Day.The truth is, no matter how often we vow to work out, our diet plays a bigger role in our fitness journey than our exercise regimen.

It won't appear if you work out at the gym while consuming bad cuisine or fried food, according to Bedi.Mandira Bedi, an actor and television host, has made the decision to "begin again" and put her health, fitness, and weight back at the forefront.

You must identify a sustainable path if you wish to travel the path to excellent health and fitness. I've tried everything, even with myself. Everyone has to establish their own balance via trial and error," she says.

The trailer provides an exciting look into a world where survival requires navigating a lethal web of crimes, as the character ventures into the twisted world of crime to fulfill a treacherous requirement of securing and smuggling dangerous commodities. ""We've seen several airborne hijack stories, but Lootere stands out for its setting in the sea and its compelling storyline,"" Hansal said in a statement regarding the episode. an enormous canvas, which features a huge ocean, a foreign nation, a terrifying ship, and a gang of menacing pirates. Our goal in producing this show is to tell a tale of power and greed that culminates in a global crisis of hijacking and the crew's desperate attempts to flee. The audience will undoubtedly go on an exciting and emotionally charged journey with this drama. Additionally, director Jai discussed what viewers should anticipate from Lootere. Our goal in creating Lootere was to bring a fresh perspective and update the classic hijacking genre. As a filmmaker, I understand how our work shapes people's perceptions. It was essential that we provide a complex picture that includes not just the experiences of the victims as well as the human qualities of the Somalian people and pirates. Working with Hansal Sir once more, I'm confident that Lootere will provide audiences worldwide with an amazing cinematic experience, much like Scam 1992 did. I'm excited to welcome viewers to join us on this exciting adventure,"" he continued. The show's main character, Rajat, described becoming a part of Lootere as an experience. It's been quite the ride, both within and outside of Lotere. Being the captain of the ship was an exciting and delightful experience for someone like me who has never been on a ship. The pirates had us stranded on our own ship, and the crew—who are already like family—got closer still. In addition, the group of people creating the series spent several months in South Africa as a family. Long and difficult days at sea, on a massive but claustrophobic vessel. Lootere was this meeting of the extremes, and Jai Mehta—the true captain—was the reason it all worked out, he said. "

Nidhi Bisht practicing law in Maamla Legal Hai on Netflix a complete circle.
"Actor Nidhi Bisht recently discussed her new Netflix web series ""Maamla Legal Hai,"" her legal practice at the Delhi High Court, and other topics with IndiaToday.in. Actor Nidhi Bisht briefly discusses her future project, ""Maamla Legal Hai."" In the Netflix series, she will appear alongside Ravi Kishan. On March 1, ""Maamla Legal Hai"" will debut on Netflix. Nidhi Bisht, an actor and creator who rose to fame in TVF shows like Tripling and Permanent Roommates, will soon be seen in the Netflix series Maamla Legal Hai, where he will play a major part. Nidhi talked candidly about the show, practicing law before going into acting, and other topics with IndiaToday.in. After years of study and practice, Nidhi was asked how it felt to finally play a lawyer on TV. She said, ""I was practicing in the Delhi High Court when I studied law."" I was an associate at a legal company before relocating to Mumbai to pursue an acting career. I thus thought, ""So they also know I have studied law and practised a bit,"" when Poshampa Pictures contacted me.""However, upon reading the script, my sole concern was that I was ignorant of this universe. I would have to put forth a lot of effort. District court work is a very different world. The person who sits outside these courts is my character She doesn't know a lot about law. For me, it was a full circle experience, therefore it was a strange sensation,"" Nidhi remarked. Director of Maamla Legal Hai Rahul Pandey remarked that Nidhi did an excellent job portraying Sujata Negi. Lightly jokingly, he said, ""Nidhi is Foyer ki Salman Khan,"" referring to the actor's part in the show. In his description of the show, Rahul stated that although each episode focuses on a separate case, at the end of the day, all the players are aiming for the same goal: ""It is not a courtroom drama, it is a court premise drama."" There is an intriguing, strange case in every episode. Each episode focuses on a distinct scenario that all leads to the same destination."" The teaser for Maamla Legal Hai on Netflix transports viewers back to East Delhi's alleyways. Director Rahul Pandey said, ""Everything is set, except for the outdoor location,"" in response to a question about whether the filming took place in real places. Everything, even the characters, has to look realistic. We prepared for the same by holding a class because this is not a story where you can show up on set without having finished your homework."" Nidhi, who works as an actor and a creator, also discussed which career she loves more: ""Acting is my favorite since it's such a liberating experience. My main profession is performing. Despite this, I like to do anything as long as I get paid to."
Queen remains a timeless coming-of-age tale but has Kangana Ranaut’s persona burdened its legacy?
"Is it crucial to keep the creator and the work of art apart? We attempt to address this perennial query as Queen approaches its tenth anniversary and investigate if Kangana Ranaut's character has affected how viewers perceive the movie. ""Whatever I do, I will always be known as Queen."" Being recognized by their character name can have both benefits and drawbacks for an actor. Although the character guarantees them a steady dose of appreciation for years to come, it also establishes a standard that is frequently restrictive. As a result, they are forced to fight themselves constantly, much like a dog chasing its tail. The actors pursue the success they first had with the role like it's a tail that's tied to them all the time. People like us would keep showing up on movie anniversaries, reminding them of these iconic parts that they played years ago, even if they wanted to forget it and go on. One such figure that has adhered to Kangana Ranaut like hot wax is Queen. The movie made a big impact on the actor's career as well as Hindi cinema. Through this movie, Kangana discovered her voice, much like her character Rani. She rose to prominence as the feminist movement's spokesperson, denouncing Bollywood's excesses and elevating the discussion of nepotism. At this point, Kangana accepted her role outside of the movie and started incorporating it into her daily life. She dispelled myths and with that the Hindi film industry's inflated egos. Wait a minute. Are we drifting off course here? Isn't Queen the movie that deserves our attention more than Kangana? As I consider these issues, I realize that none of the current discussions had any bearing on my experience seeing Queen again ten years after its initial release. It brought back memories of my 20-something self figuring out the complexities of relationships and obligations in a major city, only to find myself at the end of it all. It elicited the same warm, fuzzy, happy, and hopeful sensations that it did ten years ago. The appeal of a well-made coming-of-age movie is that it speaks to everyone, regardless of age, since Queen was one of the first female-focused movies to explore the theme of coming into one's own and realizing one's worth. How many of us, for example, have avoided situations or people that bring up our first breakup but have eventually moved past it? After arriving in Paris, Rani, played by Kangana Rao in Queen, flees from the Eiffel Tower because it reminds her of the hollow promises made by her former fiancé Vijay (Rajkummar Rao). It resembles leaving a nightclub early in order to avoid the music. "
Isha Ambani wore a blouse made of diamonds and gold jewellery at brother Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding festivities,
"When Isha Ambani attended her brother Anant's pre-wedding celebrations, she was actually wearing a shirt composed of gold and diamond jewelry. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar were akin to a royal festival. Attending the parties were Bollywood celebs and Ambani family members, all dressed in their finest and most expensive attire. Isha Ambani, the millionaire Mukesh Ambani's daughter, wore a shirt made of jadau jewelry, which featured diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and many other precious stones, at one of the parties while others wore traditional jewelry. Designers Sandeep Khosla and Abu Jani, who dressed a number of celebrities for the celebrations, said in a video that the jewelry was part of Isha's ""personal collection."" The idea was to cover real, priceless jewelry with stitches, starting with a crimson fabric as the foundation. He said, ""Isha gave all the little bits of jadau jewelry that she owns. There are diamonds, emeralds, polki, rubies, and more."" ""Some of the pieces are from her personal collection, and new jewels were sourced from Gujarat and Rajasthan specifically to be stitched on to the garment,"" the video's commentary stated. The priceless decorations were taken apart and repurposed as couture, where each jewel was originally set atop manually made paper templates. The wearable piece of art was created by fusing various stitches of gold and silver Zardozi work with the jewelry pieces after rounds of artistic experimentation. Pre-wedding events began with a concert by Rihanna, which was her first in over seven years. Bollywood actors Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan stole the show in the days that followed as they performed together on stage. International popstar Akon performed live at the celebrations, after Diljit Dosanjh. The women of the Ambani family have consistently demonstrated outstanding sustainability by trading pieces from their outfits. Their relationship is clear, whether it's through Shloka Ambani, Mukesh Ambani's daughter-in-law, sharing her fur jacket with her mother-in-law Nita Ambani, or Nita showing off her daughter Isha Ambani's jewelry at different events. Isha recently stole the show at her brother Anant's pre-wedding event by accessorizing herself with her mother's jewels. The final night of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding extravaganza featured an amazing ensemble by Isha Ambani. She looked stunning in a lavishly embellished lehenga with elaborate flower embroidery in a variety of styles. Her ensemble also included an open hairstyle and a matching shirt and dupatta. But what really caught people's attention were the stunning bracelet, maang teeka, earrings, and necklace adorned with diamonds and emeralds that she had borrowed from her mother Nita Ambani's collection. These accessories had previously adorned Nita's clothing at the March 2019 wedding of her elder son, Akash Ambani, when she exuded elegance in looks created by well-known designers including Abu Jani, Sandeep Khosla, and Sabyasachi Mukherjee."
Rani Mukerji on Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan ‘It changed the entire thing forward at Yash Raj Films
Rani Mukerji discussed at FICCI Frames how Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan endured and altered the course of not only Yash Raj Films but also subsequent theatrical releases. Recently, Mumbai's FICCI Frames event was attended by actor Rani Mukerji. During the function, Rani praised Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan for changing the game for Yash Raj Films and for paving the way for its theatrical releases. She talked about how her husband, Aditya Chopra, refused to give in to the pandemic's demand and released some of their biggest movies on Netflix. "During the pandemic, Adi (Aditya Chopra) had these couple of big films that were to be released," Rani stated during the event. These were the commercial potboilers that first appeared prior to the pandemic. Regretfully, every movie had a question mark on it when the epidemic broke out. And since there were no discussions about new movie releases at that time, I watched my spouse quite carefully. Filmmakers were under intense pressure to release their films on over-the-top platforms (OTT), and many of them were complying. On OTT, the biggest movies were being released. And my hubby was very composed and at ease. "I would use the word 'conviction' that my husband had," she continued. "He said, 'These movies were made for theatricals, for the enjoyment of the general public.'" These movies should be released in theaters, in my opinion. A substantial sum of money was being offered to him in exchange for a profit-sharing arrangement that would benefit both the producers and the OTT platform. Rani Mukerji went on to say that at a difficult period, Yash Raj Films' situation was transformed by Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan. "When the movies came out, they were all box office failures because, all of a sudden, OTT changed the way people watched content," the speaker stated. Because none of these movies did well at the box office, the industry as a whole suffered greatly. was comparable to total depression. In our company, people were depressed over Adi's belief that his films will be released in theaters. Everything kind of didn't work out for us, but we still believed that there would be some sort of divine intervention and that he would be rewarded for his conviction that movies should be released theatrically. Pathaan then appeared. It brought about a complete transformation at Yash Raj. And it ended up becoming the highest-grossing movie.

Director Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Discusses The Rajinikanth Factor And The Films Failure
On February 9, Aishwarya Rajinikanth's film Lal Salaam, which she also directed and which stars her actor father Rajinikanth in a major role in, opened in theaters. Despite receiving a fair amount of attention at first, the film's box office performance steadily decreased as a result of critical and audience disagreement. In a recent interview with Cinema Vikatan, Aishwarya Rajinikanth talked about the reception of Lal Salaam and discussed how the dynamics of the film changed dramatically following Rajinikanth's character development. She revealed that Moideen Bhai, played by Rajinikanth, was only supposed to make a 10-minute cameo.But when Rajinikanth joined the cast, the character's function grew and became essential to the plot. As a result, the screenplay, script, edit, and content of the movie went "out of control." "After Rajinikanth entered the film, everything in Lal Salaam—screenplay, script, edit, and content—went out of control," the woman stated. It appears that the quality content was overshadowed by the commercial elements. Two days before the release, the edit was also reorganized." In response to the criticism and comments Lal Salaam received, Aishwarya Rajinikanth said, "As a learner and filmmaker, I am personally extremely satisfied." Since the movie is based on actual events, it doesn't contain any surprises or revelations of any kind. Because the story is clear-cut and uncomplicated, we decided to go with a non-linear pattern when given the choice. As a filmmaker, I was aware that different people saw things differently. I can improve myself, and that is the biggest lesson I have learned. I will accept praise and criticism equally and be happy."

The light is you." Saba Azad also opened up last year about dating a huge celebrity like Hrithik Roshan. "It's taken me quite some time to come to a place where I treat everything else as white noise because hatred is palpable," the woman said to India Today. It hits you that I am not made of stone. You're in a bad mood. Sometimes you wake up wondering, "What did I do to anyone?" How did I treat you? You live your life, and I live mine. Why do you wait to draw blood from me?However, you eventually come to the realization that you have no control over other people's thoughts or what they project onto you. You are not involved in it at all.
