Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s Tere Ishk Mein Becomes a Blockbuster, Earns Rs 118.76 Crore Globally

0

Tere Ishk Mein, featuring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon in the lead, has set an even higher benchmark at the international box office, having collected ₹118.76 crore GBOC in just one week since its release. The film has fared really well, which reflects its strong emotional connect with viewers across all regions and solidifies its position as one of the most influential romantic dramas this year.

One main reason for the movie’s success is its strong creative backbone. Timeless music by A.R. Rahman elevates the story with soulful melodies that have quickly become audience favorites. The screenplay, written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, is emotionally deep with nuanced character arcs and a very engaging storyline that has sent viewers talking about it across the board. The sensitive, immersive technique of telling the story by the director, Aanand L Rai, helped reinforce this foundation all the way. A combination of intensity, romance, and introspection-a truly cinematic experience. Backed by Bhushan Kumar’s production, the film has won widespread critical acclaim for its artistic richness.

The good word-of-mouth has the performances of Dhanush and Kriti Sanon at its center. Dhanush’s emotionally charged performance was highly applauded, and so was Kriti’s layered one for their authenticity and maturity. The repeated visits from audiences contributed a lot to giving a fillip to the box-office momentum of the movie.

After new releases entered the theaters this week, Tere Ishk Mein is doing extremely well in major markets. The film witnessed packed shows, advance bookings, and sustained buzz, all pointers to an above-average second week. According to trade analysts, the film should see steady footfalls as its storylines are engaging and emotionally appealing to the audience.

Currently running in theatres worldwide, Tere Ishk Mein is presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series and Colour Yellow. The film is produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma while Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar are producers. Directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, the film features music by A.R. Rahman and lyrics by Irshad Kamil.

Song name – O Holy Night
Singer – Mariah Carey

Check out O Holy Night Song Lyrics by Mariah Carey

O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the Wise Men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is Peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us Praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim

Aishwarya Rai’s Most Stunning Look in Black Leaves Fans Breathless

Aishwarya Rai, who maintains a mostly silent presence on her social media, sent followers into a tizzy on Wednesday when she posted two resplendent new photos. In one, she was a vision in a velvet black gown as she exuded grace and dignity, while a close-up face shot in the second picture brought nostalgia flooding back as one recalled Miss World-turned-Bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai of yesteryear cinema. Both the photos spoke volumes about her timeless beauty, signature charm, and screen presence that continues to endure.

Soon, the comments section was flooded with admiration. For many, she was “the most beautiful woman in the world,” while others gushed over her “insanely beautiful” looks: “Totally obsessed” and “every camera is lucky to capture you.” Many fans felt the photos brought back memories of when she was young, writing comments such as “This reminds me of baby Aishwarya” and “Turning back time.” The posts reinstated her position as a style and beauty icon, with many celebrating her iconic charm and elegance.

Beyond her cinematic presence, Aishwarya continues her long-term association with L’Oréal Paris by participating in global campaigns centered on social issues such as sexual harassment and workplace safety. She has been in the forefront of the “Stand Up Against Street Harassment” campaign by the brand, aimed at educating women on bystander intervention and encouraging conversations around the ways to curb harassment in public spaces.

In a video on Instagram, Aishwarya said, “Avoid eye contact? No. Look the problem right in the eyes. Hold your head high. Feminine and feminist, my body, my worth. Never compromise your worth. Do not doubt yourself. Stand up for your worth. Don’t blame your dress or your lipstick. Street harassment is never your fault.”

On the professional front, Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: II, reprising her roles as Nandini and Mandakini Devi, further establishing her reputation as one of the most versatile and celebrated actors in Indian cinema.

Actors Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya are celebrating their first wedding anniversary, marking one year since they tied the knot on December 4 at the iconic Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. The two had been dating for two years before getting hitched, with their romance starting over a simple exchange of Instagram DMs that soon blossomed into a deep and meaningful relationship.

Sobhita, on the other hand, looked stunning in gold Kanjivaram silk saree with intricate detailing in zari and traditional jewellery accessorizing her graceful bridal look. Naga Chaitanya complemented her perfectly with a classic kurta paired with his grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao’s golden pancha to pay respects to his family’s legacy.

Sobhita took to Instagram and shared their emotional wedding video to celebrate one year of marital bliss, giving her fans a glimpse into the happy ceremony. It captures the bride and groom smiling as they take vows amidst their close friends and family; their happiness is unmistakable.

Sobhita reflected on her relationship and beautifully said that she does not believe a person needs somebody else to be complete, but in the absence of Chaitanya, she does feel she would not be complete. Chay, too, poured out his heart, saying at every given wake of a minute or sleep, whenever thoughts of Sobhita crop up, they give him strength and comfort. She, being a part of his life, he added, makes him feel like conquering anything.

Sobhita wrote on her anniversary post, “The wind always blows homewards… One trippy trip around the Sun with the man I call husband, I feel anew. One year as Mrs!” Chaitanya replied with love, “Blessed to be a part of your journey my love. Happy anniversary.”

Chaitanya was previously married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu before finding love with Sobhita. The earlier couple had gotten a divorce; Samantha recently remarried, getting hitched with filmmaker Raj Nidimoru on December 1.

0

Akshay Kumar’s niece Simar Bhatia is gearing up to make her Bollywood debut opposite Agastya Nanda in the film Ikkis. The first song of the film has been released, and fans are loving every bit of it. An elated and emotional Akshay Kumar penned a heartfelt note celebrating Simar’s entry into films. Ikkis will also mark the last on-screen appearance of the legendary Dharmendra.

Taking to Instagram, Akshay shared Simar’s look from the film and wrote how emotional he gets on seeing her grow. He penned, “Remember holding you in my arms as a little baby, and today, seeing you walk confidently into this beautiful world of cinema is surreal. Full circle, indeed! From that little shy kid, to a confident young lady ready to shine bright! As you take this beautiful flight, remember-because that’s all that will take you across, The Bhatia core values-hard work, duniya ki sunna aur rab pe bhrosa. And move forward, little one!” Comments began pouring in for the post, with many remembering Dharmendra and also about the sentimental value as it is his last film.

Meanwhile, Agastya Nanda also reflected on the experience of working with Dharmendra. In this video that Bollywood Hungama has shared, he talks about how much it means to share the screen with a veteran who has worked with two generations of his family. Agastya termed that moment as an honour and confessed to feeling emotional when Dharmendra could not see the love that he deserves for this performance.

The song, “Sitaare”, which has just been released, is already winning hearts. While the film deals with bravery, patriotism, and sacrifice, the track has the vulnerable charm of young love. The song, produced by White Noise Collectives, features Arijit Singh on vocals, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Helmed by critically acclaimed Sriram Raghavan and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Films, Ikkis tells the incredible true story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetrapal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee. Starring Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher, Deepak Dobriyal, and the late Dharmendra, the film is scheduled to hit the theaters on December 25.

Scarlett Johansson Set To Join Batman 2

0

Scarlett Johansson may be heading into the world of Gotham. According to early industry chatter, she is reportedly being considered for a significant role in the upcoming sequel to Batman 2. While nothing is officially confirmed, the discussions alone have sent fans into a frenzy.

Johansson stepping into a darker, more grounded superhero universe has been a long-running wish for many. Her ability to balance intensity with emotional depth has always made her a perfect fit for a gritty world like Gotham, and the possibility of seeing her opposite Robert Pattinson feels like a natural evolution for both stars.

The reports do not specify which character she may play, but speculation is already wild. Some believe she could be eyed for a complex antihero, while others think she may join the story as a new figure of moral ambiguity, which fits the grounded psychological tone of the current Batman franchise. What is clear is that her presence would deepen the cast and add a powerful dynamic to the sequel.

Fans are also pointing out that Johansson’s track record with character-driven performances makes her a strong match for the emotional weight and noir influence this universe carries. With Matt Reeves building a darker and more intimate vision of Gotham, the idea of Johansson entering that space feels not just exciting but almost inevitable.

For now, these are only reported talks, and the studio has not confirmed any casting. But if the discussions become reality, Batman 2 may be preparing to bring one of Hollywood’s most commanding actors into its world.

Until then, fans are watching closely to see how this unfolds. If she joins, it could become one of the biggest casting moments of the year.

Stranger Things 5 Finale: A 2-Hour Epic to Bid Farewell to Hawkins

0

The final chapter in Stranger Things 5 is shaping up to be a monumental farewell. Netflix has now made it official: the series’ finale, titled “The Rightside Up,” will run for 2 hours and 5 minutes, which makes it one of the longest and most ambitious episodes in the show’s history. This extended finale promises a really gripping and emotional culmination as the battle for Hawkins reaches its ultimate confrontation.

The episode will premiere globally at 5 p.m. PT on December 31 on Netflix. But for an extra-special treat, the finale will also hit screens in more than 500 theaters in the United States and Canada-a rare opportunity to see Stranger Things on the big screen. These theatrical showings will continue through January 1, 2026, and allow audiences a chance to experience the end together.

Season 5 premiered this fall in 1987, and Hawkins is still suffering from the devastating Rifts that tore through the city. The core team of heroes is more determined than ever to find and destroy Vecna once and for all. According to the official synopsis, though, the villain has vanished under mysterious circumstances, and his scheme and whereabouts are currently unknown. Meanwhile, the government has clamped down on Hawkins, initiating a military quarantine and renewing its manhunt for Eleven, forcing her to go underground once again.

Netflix has structured the season’s rollout around key holiday dates to heighten anticipation: the first four episodes streamed from November 26, then three more arrived on December 25; and the year-end finale closes out the saga on December 31.

This being announced, showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer seemed excited about the theatrical screenings, saying this is a dream come true to let fans finally see the finale with the cinematic sound and scale. Returning favorites include Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, and Winona Ryder. New cast members will include Alex Breaux, Jake Connelly, Nell Fisher, and Linda Hamilton.
