Akshay Kumar’s Bold New Look In Uncha Lamba Kad Forever Gets Fans Talking

0

Akshay Kumar is revisiting one of the most memorable songs of his career with the release of “Uncha Lamba Kad Forever” from the upcoming film Welcome To The Jungle. The track is a recreated version of the popular song “Uncha Lamba Kad” from the 2007 comedy film Welcome, which remains a favourite among Bollywood music fans even today.

Nearly 19 years after the original song became a hit, the new version brings back its familiar energy while introducing a modern presentation. Along with the music, Akshay Kumar’s appearance in the video has also become a talking point among viewers.

In the song, the actor experiments with several different outfits that combine traditional and contemporary fashion elements. One of his standout looks features brown dhoti style pants paired with a loose fitting layered top. The outfit is completed with a cowboy hat, tinted sunglasses, metallic accessories and statement jewellery. The combination creates a distinctive look that blends casual styling with bold fashion choices.

Akshay also appears in a black shirt paired with faded blue denim jeans. He keeps the look simple but adds accessories such as a hat, neck chain and rings, giving it a stylish touch. Another sequence features him in a denim on denim outfit, complemented by blue tinted glasses, a neck chain and casual footwear.

The styling in the music video reflects a mix of classic and modern fashion influences. While the outfits are eye catching, they also align with the energetic and colourful tone of the song.

The recreated version of “Uncha Lamba Kad Forever” has been sung by Anand Raj Anand and Rubai. The song includes new lyrics written by Meggha Bali while also retaining portions of the original lyrics by Sameer. The updated version aims to connect with both audiences who remember the original song and younger listeners discovering it for the first time.

Welcome To The Jungle features a large ensemble cast that includes Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav and several other actors.

Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwallah, the film is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 26, 2026. With the release of “Uncha Lamba Kad Forever”, audiences have received an early glimpse of the film’s musical and visual style ahead of its arrival in cinemas.

Chand Mera Dil Crosses Rs. 23 Crore But Faces A Tough Road Ahead

Chand Mera Dil completed its second weekend at the Indian box office with an estimated collection of Rs. 5 crore. Nearly Rs. 2 crore of that total came on Sunday, which recorded a modest growth of around 10 per cent compared to Saturday. While the weekend provided some support to the film’s overall earnings, its performance remained noticeably lower than during its opening week.

Compared to its first Sunday, the film’s second Sunday collections were down by approximately 55 per cent. This indicates a significant drop in audience turnout after the initial release period. As a result, the romantic drama has reached a total of Rs. 23.20 crore nett in India after 10 days in theatres.

Starring Lakshya and Ananya Panday, the film is directed by Vivek Soni and backed by Dharma Productions. The movie is expected to cross the Rs. 25 crore mark by the end of its second week. However, maintaining momentum could become more difficult as several new films are scheduled to arrive in cinemas from the third weekend onwards.

Upcoming releases such as Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Peddi and Bandar are likely to increase competition for screens and audience attention. This could further impact the box office performance of Chand Mera Dil during the coming weeks.

The film has received mixed reactions from viewers since its release. While some audiences have appreciated the story and performances, the overall response has not been strong enough to generate significant word of mouth. This has limited the film’s ability to attract a larger audience beyond its initial target group.

The romantic drama genre has also faced challenges in recent years. Since 2020, only a small number of romance based films have managed to achieve major commercial success. Many such releases have found it difficult to draw audiences consistently, especially when competing against action, thriller and franchise films.

Despite these challenges, Chand Mera Dil has managed a steady run so far and is likely to add a few more crores before its theatrical journey slows down further.

Why Are Brad Pitt’s Children Dropping His Surname One by One?

0

For most people, changing a surname is a personal decision. But when multiple children from one of Hollywood’s most famous families start dropping the same last name, people are bound to ask questions. The latest Jolie-Pitt child to make headlines is Maddox Jolie-Pitt, who has reportedly filed legal paperwork to change his name from Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt to Maddox Chivan Jolie. The filing comes months after Maddox was credited simply as “Maddox Jolie” while working as an assistant director on Angelina Jolie’s film Couture.

What makes the move significant is that Maddox is not alone.

Over the past two years, several of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s children have publicly distanced themselves from the Pitt surname.

In 2024, Shiloh legally petitioned to remove Pitt from her name shortly after turning 18. The request was later granted by a Los Angeles court.

That same year, Vivienne appeared in the Playbill credits for Broadway’s The Outsiders as “Vivienne Jolie” rather than Vivienne Jolie-Pitt.

Zahara also introduced herself publicly as “Zahara Marley Jolie” during a sorority event at Spelman College, noticeably leaving out Pitt from her name. Now, with Maddox reportedly taking legal steps to do the same, a pattern is becoming difficult to ignore.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt’s youngest son Knox remains publicly known as Knox Jolie-Pitt, while son Pax has not legally changed his name but has reportedly maintained a strained relationship with the actor in recent years.

The developments come against the backdrop of one of Hollywood’s longest and most public family disputes. Pitt and Jolie’s relationship began in 2005 after meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The couple became one of the most photographed families in the world before marrying in 2014.

Just two years later, everything changed.

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016 following an alleged incident aboard a private jet involving Pitt and members of the family. Jolie later accused Pitt of abusive behavior during the flight. Pitt has consistently denied the allegations, and no criminal charges were filed after investigations.

What followed was nearly a decade of legal battles involving custody disputes, property disagreements, and the ongoing fight over Château Miraval, the French winery the former couple once owned together.

While the legal war continued, many fans noticed something else. The children appeared far more often with Jolie than with Pitt. Although neither side publicly discusses the details of their family relationships, reports over the years have repeatedly suggested that Pitt’s bond with several of his children became strained after the divorce.

Today, Brad Pitt appears to be entering a very different chapter of his life.

Since late 2022, the Oscar-winning actor has been in a relationship with jewelry executive Ines de Ramon. The couple has steadily become more serious over the years, making public appearances together at film premieres, Formula One events, international festivals and private gatherings.

According to multiple reports, de Ramon eventually moved into Pitt’s home, and sources close to the couple have repeatedly described the relationship as stable, private and long-term.

From the outside, Pitt’s personal life appears to be moving forward.

But at the same time, several of his children appear to be moving in the opposite direction when it comes to their connection with his name.

Of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s six children:

• Maddox has reportedly filed to become Maddox Jolie.

• Shiloh legally became Shiloh Jolie.

• Vivienne publicly uses Vivienne Jolie in professional credits.

• Zahara publicly introduces herself as Zahara Jolie.

• Pax has not legally changed his name but has been linked to reports of family tension.

• Knox continues to publicly use Jolie-Pitt.

Of course, none of these children have publicly explained every reason behind their choices, and changing a surname does not automatically reveal the full story of a family relationship.

Still, when four children have already publicly dropped or stopped using the same surname, it has become one of the most talked-about developments in the ongoing Jolie-Pitt family saga.

For Brad Pitt, life may currently be filled with movie premieres, a serious relationship with Ines de Ramon, and a fresh chapter after his divorce.

For many observers, however, the bigger headline is much harder to ignore:

Why are so many of his children choosing not to carry his name anymore?

Raja Shivaji Creates History As It Becomes The Highest Grossing Marathi Film In India

Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji continued its theatrical run with an estimated collection of Rs. 1.20 crore during its fifth weekend. The latest earnings came after a 65 per cent drop compared to the previous weekend, taking the film’s total Indian box office collection to approximately Rs. 109.45 crore gross. This figure includes earnings from both the Marathi version and the Hindi dubbed release.

After spending several weeks in cinemas, the historical drama is now nearing the end of its theatrical journey. Based on current trends, the film is expected to finish its run with a total collection between Rs. 110 crore and Rs. 112 crore gross in India.

The film’s performance has helped it achieve a significant milestone. Raja Shivaji has emerged as the highest grossing Marathi film in India in terms of overall domestic collections. This achievement highlights the growing reach of Marathi cinema beyond its traditional audience base.

At the same time, the film’s performance within Maharashtra has drawn comparisons with some of the state’s biggest successes. While Raja Shivaji has performed strongly, it is expected to remain behind films such as Sairat and Baipan Bhari Deva in the Marathi market. Since Maharashtra remains the core audience base for Marathi films, comparisons with those titles are inevitable.

There were also expectations that Raja Shivaji could match the scale of success achieved by historical films such as Tanhaji and Chhaava in Maharashtra. Those films recorded exceptionally high collections in the state, with Tanhaji’s earnings adjusting to around Rs. 250 crore in today’s value and Chhaava crossing Rs. 300 crore. In comparison, Raja Shivaji is not expected to reach the Rs. 100 crore mark within Maharashtra alone.

Despite not matching those numbers, the film has still delivered a notable box office performance and established itself as one of the major successes of the year for Marathi cinema. Its nationwide collections reflect strong audience interest and support over several weeks.

The success of Raja Shivaji has also contributed to a positive year for the Marathi film industry. Alongside the strong performance of Deool Band 2, the film has helped bring greater attention to regional cinema in 2026.

Box Office Collections In India

Week 1: Rs. 62.00 crore

Week 2: Rs. 28.00 crore

Week 3: Rs. 13.00 crore

Week 4: Rs. 5.25 crore

5th Weekend: Rs. 1.20 crore

Total: Rs. 109.45 crore

Obsession Surprises Everyone With A Strong Box Office Debut In India

Hollywood horror film Obsession has continued its impressive performance at the global box office and has now made a notable impact in India as well. After attracting attention in North America over the past two weeks, the film recorded a strong opening weekend in India, collecting approximately Rs. 9.25 crore gross, which translates to around Rs. 7.50 crore nett. The film also earned about USD 975K during its opening weekend in the country.

The opening is particularly significant because independent horror films generally face challenges in attracting large audiences in India. Most horror films that perform well at the Indian box office are usually backed by major studios or belong to established franchises. In comparison, Obsession has managed to draw audiences without the support of a major horror universe or a long running film series.

The film opened with approximately Rs. 1.60 crore on Friday. Collections then showed a sharp rise on Saturday, nearly doubling from the opening day figures. On Sunday, the film continued its upward trend and earned around Rs. 3.75 crore, reflecting a growth of roughly 15 per cent compared to Saturday. The growth came despite competition from the IPL final, which traditionally affects cinema footfalls and television viewership across the country.

Industry observers believe that the film could have earned even more on Sunday if not for the cricket match. However, the impact is not expected to significantly affect its overall performance. Early booking trends for Monday indicate stronger advances than those seen on Friday, suggesting that audience interest remains steady even after the opening weekend.

The film’s performance during weekdays will provide a clearer indication of its long term box office potential. Based on current trends, Obsession appears capable of crossing Rs. 30 crore in India. If the positive response continues, the final collection could be considerably higher.

Another point that has attracted attention is the film’s reported production budget of around USD 750K. Compared to its current global performance, the film has already demonstrated strong returns relative to its cost.

The success of Obsession adds to a growing list of Hollywood releases that have performed well in India during 2026. With several major international releases still scheduled for later in the year, including highly anticipated franchise films, industry analysts will be watching closely to see whether the current momentum continues in the months ahead.

Suriya Creates History As Karuppu Crosses Rs. 200 Crore In India

Suriya starrer Karuppu has crossed a major box office milestone by collecting approximately Rs. 210.25 crore at the Indian box office after 17 days of release. The film earned around Rs. 16.75 crore during its third weekend, helping it comfortably move past the Rs. 200 crore mark.

With this achievement, Karuppu has become Suriya’s first film to enter the Rs. 200 crore club in India. Interestingly, the actor did not have a Rs. 100 crore domestic grosser before this release, making Karuppu his first film to cross both the Rs. 100 crore and Rs. 200 crore milestones. The film is also the fourteenth Tamil film to achieve the Rs. 200 crore mark at the domestic box office.

The film’s third weekend performance saw a decline of around 60 per cent compared to previous levels. While the drop is considered relatively steep, the collections have remained stable since the second Tuesday of its run. Based on its current trend, Karuppu is expected to add another Rs. 20 crore to Rs. 25 crore before completing its theatrical run, with a projected lifetime collection of around Rs. 230 crore to Rs. 235 crore in India.

The film collected Rs. 129.75 crore in its first week and added another Rs. 63.75 crore in its second week. During its third weekend, it earned Rs. 4.00 crore on Friday, Rs. 6.00 crore on Saturday and Rs. 6.75 crore on Sunday. This took its total Indian gross collection to Rs. 210.25 crore.

Tamil Nadu remains the film’s strongest market. The movie has collected approximately Rs. 140.50 crore in the state and is expected to cross Rs. 150 crore soon. It has already entered the list of the highest grossing films in Tamil Nadu and currently stands in thirteenth position. If the current trend continues, it could move into the top ten by the end of the week and potentially challenge films ranked above it.

Outside Tamil Nadu, the film has also performed well in other southern markets. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have contributed around Rs. 32.50 crore, while Karnataka has generated approximately Rs. 21.25 crore. Kerala has added around Rs. 13.50 crore, and the rest of India has contributed Rs. 2.50 crore.

Territorial Breakdown

Tamil Nadu: Rs. 140.50 crore

APTS: Rs. 32.50 crore

Karnataka: Rs. 21.25 crore

Kerala: Rs. 13.50 crore

Rest of India: Rs. 2.50 crore

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Romance Heats Up as Sources Reveal Justin Bieber Played Matchmaker

0

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi may be trying to keep their relationship under wraps, but Hollywood is already obsessed with the pairing. According to a new report from Page Six, the supermodel and Euphoria star have been quietly dating after allegedly meeting through mutual friends Justin and Hailey Bieber. While neither Jenner nor Elordi has publicly confirmed the romance, multiple sightings over the past few months have only fueled speculation that the two are becoming one of Hollywood’s hottest new couples.

Rumors first began swirling after the pair were reportedly spotted kissing at Justin Bieber’s Coachella afterparty earlier this year. Since then, they have been photographed together on several occasions, including a beach getaway in Hawaii and a recent outing alongside Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet.

Sources close to Kendall claim she is intentionally keeping the relationship as private as possible. After years of highly publicized romances, including relationships with NBA star Devin Booker and rapper Bad Bunny, Jenner reportedly wants this relationship to develop away from constant public attention.

Insiders say the model believes that the more public a relationship becomes, the more complicated it gets. This time, she reportedly wants to focus on building something genuine before making any official public appearances as a couple.

The pair were recently seen enjoying time together in Kauai, Hawaii, where photographers captured them sitting on a secluded beach deep in conversation. They were also reportedly spotted spending Memorial Day weekend together in Santa Barbara, California.

For fans, the romance comes as a surprise but also makes a lot of sense.

Both Jenner and Elordi understand what it means to live under intense public scrutiny. Jenner has spent most of her life in the spotlight thanks to Keeping Up With the Kardashians and her successful modeling career. Elordi, meanwhile, rose to fame through The Kissing Booth before becoming a global star through HBO’s Euphoria.

Sources describe Elordi as grounded, hardworking and far removed from the toxic and volatile character of Nate Jacobs that made him famous. Those qualities reportedly appeal to Jenner, who has often spoken about valuing privacy and authenticity in her personal relationships.

Elordi’s own dating history has kept him in the headlines over the years. The Australian actor has previously been linked to Joey King, Kaia Gerber and Olivia Jade. Jenner has similarly been connected to several high-profile names including Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky, Devin Booker and Bad Bunny.

Despite the growing attention, neither side appears eager to officially confirm the relationship just yet.

Still, with multiple sightings, vacations and double dates already making headlines, many fans believe a public debut may only be a matter of time.

Whether they choose to hard-launch their romance or continue keeping things private, Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have already become one of the most talked-about celebrity pairings of 2026.

How a $750,000 Horror Film Became Hollywood’s Biggest Success Story of 2026

0

Every few years, Hollywood gets a reminder that bigger doesn’t always mean better. This year, that reminder comes in the form of Obsession, a tiny independent horror film that has quietly become one of the biggest success stories of 2026. Made on a reported budget of just $750,000, the film has already grossed more than $84 million worldwide within its first two weeks of release. That means the movie has earned over 100 times its production budget, a figure most blockbuster studios can only dream about.

What’s even more remarkable is that Obsession arrived with virtually none of the ingredients traditionally associated with a box-office hit. There were no A-list movie stars, no billion-dollar franchise connections, and no massive marketing campaign. Instead, the film relied almost entirely on word of mouth.

Directed by 26-year-old filmmaker Curry Barker, Obsession tells the story of a young man whose wish for his crush to fall in love with him spirals into something terrifying and deadly. The concept is simple, but audiences are clearly connected with it.

The film’s success highlights something that Hollywood executives have been learning repeatedly over the past decade: horror remains one of the safest bets in the movie business.

While expensive superhero movies, live-action remakes and established franchises continue to struggle with audience fatigue, horror keeps producing surprise hits. Films like Get Out, Longlegs, M3GAN, Sinners and Weapons proved that audiences are still willing to show up for original ideas when they’re packaged inside an effective horror story.

Part of the genre’s strength comes from its flexibility. Horror allows filmmakers to tackle social issues, relationships, grief, trauma and morality while still delivering entertainment. More importantly, horror doesn’t need a massive budget to be effective. A good premise, strong performances and creative direction often matter far more than visual effects.

The theatrical experience also plays a huge role. Horror remains one of the few genres that audiences genuinely prefer watching in a crowded cinema. The screams, laughter, tension and collective reactions create an experience that simply cannot be replicated at home.

For younger audiences especially, horror movies have become communal events. They are often discovered through social media, shared through reactions and discussed online long after the credits roll.

The success of Obsession is already changing the trajectory of Barker’s career. The filmmaker reportedly has another project in production and has been tapped to direct a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film for A24.

That journey, from writing scripts after shifts at a coffee shop to directing major studio projects, is exactly the kind of Hollywood story that feels almost impossible today.

Yet Obsession proves that there is still room for fresh voices and original ideas.

At a time when the film industry often seems obsessed with sequels, reboots and intellectual property, a low-budget horror movie made by an unknown filmmaker has managed to outperform expectations and capture audiences around the world.

For Hollywood, that’s not just a success story.

It’s a warning that audiences still crave originality.

Naga Chaitanya And Sobhita Dhulipala’s Adorable Photos Leave Fans Smiling

0

Actor Naga Chaitanya recently shared a special birthday message for his wife, Sobhita Dhulipala, giving fans a glimpse into their personal life. The actor posted a series of unseen photographs featuring the couple on social media, and the post quickly attracted attention from followers and well wishers.

Sharing the pictures on Instagram, Naga Chaitanya wrote, “Happy birthday my lady @sobhitad . Grateful I get to do life with you.” The heartfelt message was accompanied by candid moments of the couple together. Fans responded with birthday wishes for Sobhita and congratulatory messages for the pair, filling the comments section with positive reactions.

Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot in 2025 after a series of traditional pre wedding celebrations attended by close friends and family members. Since their wedding, the couple has continued to attract attention from fans who closely follow their personal and professional journeys.

On the work front, Naga Chaitanya remains one of the prominent actors in Telugu cinema. Over the years, he has appeared in several successful films, including Ye Maaya Chesave, 100% Love, Manam, Premam, Majili, Love Story and Thandel. Apart from his film career, the actor frequently remains in the spotlight due to public appearances and developments related to his personal life.

Meanwhile, Sobhita Dhulipala was last seen in Cheekatilo, a crime thriller set in a rapidly changing Hyderabad. In the film, she plays Sandhya, a criminology graduate who hosts a true crime podcast. What begins as an investigation for her podcast soon turns into a dangerous pursuit after a murder case reveals clues connected to a serial killer whose crimes date back nearly two decades.

As Sandhya continues her search for the truth, she uses her podcast to challenge and expose the suspect, leading to a tense confrontation. The story explores themes of crime, justice and personal risk while raising questions about whether Sandhya can identify the killer before becoming a target herself.

While Naga Chaitanya’s birthday post celebrated a personal milestone, it also brought attention back to the couple, whose careers continue to keep them in the public eye.
