Abhishek Bachchan’s latest film Be Happy has caught the attention of none other than his father, Amitabh Bachchan. The proud dad took a moment to publicly express his joy and admiration for his son's work. After watching the film, Amitabh shared his thoughts on social media, calling Abhishek’s performance “extraordinary.”
On March 15, 2025, Big B posted on X writing, “What an honour for you Abhishek... Proud of you... and today saw Be Happy... such an extraordinary performance... love you.” It wasn’t just a one-off message either. Amitabh had earlier shown his support when the trailer was released, calling Abhishek “a father’s pride” and praising his ease in slipping into different characters.

Be Happy hit Prime Video on March 14, coinciding with Holi celebrations. Directed by Remo D’Souza and produced by Lizelle D’Souza under Remo D’Souza Entertainment, the film tells the story of Shiv played by Abhishek, a single father who will do anything for his daughter Dhara played by Inayat Verma. Dhara dreams of competing in the country’s biggest dance reality show. But life throws them challenges they didn’t see coming. Shiv finds himself fighting not just for his daughter’s dream but for their happiness and purpose as a family.
The movie’s heart lies in the bond between a father and daughter and how love and determination can overcome even the hardest obstacles. Be Happy also stars Nora Fatehi, Nassar, Johny Lever, and Harleen Sethi in important roles.

Amitabh didn’t stop at just praising Be Happy. He also mentioned Abhishek’s film Ghoomer, which is screening at the Indian Cinema Days in Tashkent. In another post, he sent his best wishes for both Be Happy and Ghoomer, showing how deeply invested he is in his son’s career.
Speaking on his blog, Amitabh opened up further about how emotional he feels about the appreciation Abhishek is getting. “Nothing could be a greater pride for a father,” he wrote, thanking audiences for their love and support.
With Be Happy, Abhishek Bachchan seems to have struck a chord with viewers and clearly with his biggest fan, his father.

After shaking viewers to their core, Adolescence may be coming back for a second round. Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, is reportedly in early talks with director Philip Barantini and the creative team to explore where the story could go next.

        Sunny Deol’s ‘Jaat’ draws south masala film comparisons as fans call it a ‘mass action ride’

Sunny Deol’s latest film Jaat has stirred up a storm both in cinemas and on social media. Directed by Telugu filmmaker Gopichand Malineni in his Bollywood debut, the action-thriller features Deol in a role that many say harks back to his Ghayal and Ghatak days. But while some are cheering the film as a full-blown mass entertainer, others feel it falls short of expectations.
Social media is flooded with reactions. A section of fans labelled the film a “south-style masala ride,” complete with over-the-top action, punchy one-liners, and slow-motion stunts. Some even compared it to blockbusters from South India, mentioning its loud background score, stylised fights, and emotional melodrama.

Tom Hiddleston is once again stepping into Loki’s shoes for Avengers: Doomsday, and this time, he finally gets to talk about it. After years of dancing around questions and keeping Marvel-sized secrets, the British actor opened up during a red carpet chat at the Olivier Awards and confirmed what many fans were hoping for: Loki’s story isn’t finished.
The last time we saw Loki, he had taken a powerful, almost mythical role at the end of the Loki series, literally holding the multiverse together from the edge of time. It felt like a full-circle moment, like a quiet, poignant farewell. But in typical Marvel fashion, the story took a twist.

This surprising moment unfolded at what was claimed to be Pakistan’s first full-blown audiovisual rave, organised by DJ Hamza Harris. As the DJ dropped a remix of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’s title track, the screen lit up with a digital version of Kareena in a pink dress, mouthing her famous line, "Yeh kaun hai jisne mujhe mudh ke nahi dekha?"
