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."

Does Heera Mandi' by Sanjay Leela Bhansali Respect Women's Dignity?

Does Heera Mandi' by Sanjay Leela Bhansali Respect Women's Dignity?

The public's opinions about Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Netflix series "Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar" have been divided. The historical drama received criticism from director Vivek Agnihotri, who said, "Bollywood has this tendency to romanticize courtesans and brothels." Snehil Dixit Mehra, co-director of the show, responded to Agnihotri's remark. She stated, "Heeramandi isn't about glorifying tawaifs," in a recent interview."I think he hasn't watched the show. The glorifying of tawaifs is not the purpose of Heeramandi. The 1920s and 1940s provide a setting for the show. Wawains were in charge at the time, Mehra told News18.She also mentioned how, in the 1920s and 1940s, she and Bhansali discovered via their research for "Heeramandi" that courtesans were paying higher taxes than "nawabs.""We researched the show well before we produced it. We discovered throughout our investigation that these tawaifs were so wealthy that, despite their fraudulent accounting, they were paying higher taxes than the nawabs, Mehra continued.Agnihotri wrote on X, "I haven't seen the show, but I have visited Heeramandi in Lahore a few times," acknowledging that he hasn't watched "Heeramandi" yet. Bollywood has a propensity to romanticize prostitutes and couturiers. It's a depressing observation because brothels have never been luxurious, glamorous, or exquisite settings. These serve as memorials to injustice, misery, and agony in humankind. People who haven't seen this should watch Mandi (sic) by Shyam Benegal."The director of "The Kashmir Files" went on, saying, "We also need to consider this: Does creativity allow us to romanticize human suffering? Is it permissible to create a movie in which people living in slums are shown as having plenty? Is it OK to depict people living in slums dressed like they're attending an Ambani wedding? Please talk about (sic)."Mehra clarified the story that the creators of "Heeramandi" have attempted to tell while outlining their position. They lost their dignity as a result of the freedom war and the British attempts to break the nautch girls. We have decided to tell this particular tale. It's just the nature of the story; it has nothing to do with glorifying the tawaifs. To get our message, he (Agnihotri) needs to watch the series first, she continued.

Mandira Bedi criticizes fast diets and exhorts individuals to achieve balance in their exercise regimens on No Diet Day.

One of the fittest actors in the business is Mandira Bedi. She has consistently promoted healthy eating and frequently shares motivational workout videos and updates. 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's always thirty percent workout and seventy percent food. You can gradually alter that equation if you exercise. 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. Having worked in the television and film industries for more than thirty years, I can attest to the pressure artists face to meet preconceived notions about how they should look.Does she have any advice for artists who occasionally turn to fad diets out of desperation? "Everyone realizes this after trying it. Here's the thing. Everyone, in my opinion, needs to learn that lesson the hard way—through trial and error. 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.

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. "

The Great Indian Kapil Show teaser: Sunil Grover hops on the joyride again

The Great Indian Kapil Show will be Kapil Sharma's first foray into the over-the-top (OTT) television market.

He promised to amuse followers not only in India but all across the world, assuring them that although their home has changed, their family has not. For the past few days, the recent altercation between well-known comedians Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover has dominated the internet, and for good reason. When the two most well-known comedians in the nation become irate with one another, naturally, people want to know what went wrong. Additionally, this is not the first argument between the two. Due to his Gutthi act, Sunil had begun to get recognition. As a result of the show's overwhelming success, Sunil supposedly demanded a raise, but both Kapil and the show's producer turned down his request. Numerous sources made similar accusations, although at the time, neither of them had discussed the matter.

Sunil has been in the entertainment world, attempting to get his footing. I'm senior to him. I have the utmost respect for his abilities. Furthermore, I don't take offense at anyone or feel competitive with them. To the extent that I can, I actually make an effort to give each member of my staff an opportunity to speak on stage. It is likely that those in Sunil's immediate vicinity provoked him to leave."" Sunil Grover's comeback to the show However, Sunil and Kapil were destined to collaborate, as Sunil, who had lost his appeal after departing from Kapil's program, reappeared as Kapil's father-in-law. When Kapil supposedly declined to use the show to promote Sunil's film There were rumors that Kapil was not happy with Sunil's decision to make films and that he did not want to promote Sunil's film on his show. Later on, Sunil addressed the matter in a statement, claiming that Kapil was unrelated to the movie's lack of promotion on The Kapil Sharma Show."

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?

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,

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 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.
