The first three months of 2020 are already over. March has surely been one of the toughest months as things went haywire due to the coronavirus outbreak and the lockdown was announced. For Bollywood, these first three months of the year haven’t been that great box office wise but content-wise there were many movies that made a mark.

So, today let’s look at the list of Bollywood films that impressed us in the first quarter of 2020…

Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior

Ajay Devgn’s big-budget project Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior released in January this year. Directed by Om Raut, the film was high-on VFX and impressed one and all. The movie was very well narrated and the performances of Ajay, Saif Ali Khan and Kajol were appreciated a lot. It is currently the high-grossing film of the year.

Panga

Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s Panga starring Kangana Ranaut released during the Republic Day weekend. The film received positive reviews and everyone couldn’t stop praising the brilliant performance of Kangana in the film. However, unfortunately, the movie failed to make a mark at the box office.

Jawaani Jaaneman

After impressing us with his performance in Tanhaji, Saif Ali Khan came on the big screen with Jawaani Jaaneman. An urban-cool comedy, Jawaani Jaaneman told the story of a man who one day finds out that he has a grown-up daughter and his life changes. Well, this Nitin Kakkar’s directorial is surely one of the most underrated films of the year.

Malang

Mohit Suri surely knows how to direct a romantic-thriller. Set in Goa, Malang had everything that a moviegoer wants; a good story, amazing star cast, and fantastic music. Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kunal Kemmu and Disha Patani, all the actors were awesome in the film.

Thappad

Last but not the least; we have Thappad on our list. Anubhav Sinha’s directorial is undoubtedly one of the best movies we have seen in the past few years. The movie spoke about a very relevant topic and of course, Taapsee Pannu gave an award-winning performance in it.

LA FireAid concert brings music legends together for wildfire relief

Los Angeles united in a soul-stirring evening of music and solidarity at the FireAid benefit concert, pouring their hearts into raising funds for California wildfire relief. Held at the iconic Kia Forum and the breathtaking Intuit Dome, the event showcased an unforgettable all-star lineup that transcended genres, showing us that even in the darkest of times, music has the power to heal, inspire, and bring us together as one.

Green Day opened the night with "Last Night on Earth," surprising fans by inviting Billie Eilish to join them for a duet. Later, Eilish and her brother Finneas returned for a stripped-down acoustic set, performing tracks from her latest album. "L.A. is my only home, and I've got you," she told the crowd.

One of the most talked-about moments was the long-awaited Nirvana reunion. Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, and Krist Novoselic performed together for the first time in years, joined by a rotating lineup of guest vocalists, including St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, and Grohl's daughter, Violet.

Katy Perry, wrapped in the California state flag, had the crowd singing along to "California Gurls," while Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, and Pink delivered high-energy sets. No Doubt's reunion was another highlight, with Gwen Stefani leading the band through hits like "Just a Girl" and "Don't Speak."

Dr. Dre made an unexpected appearance with Anderson. Paak, energising the audience with "California Love." Rock and pop legends, including Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Joni Mitchell also rocked the stage.

The lineup stretched across genres, featuring performances from Alanis Morissette, John Mayer, Jelly Roll, Dawes, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, The Black Crowes, John Fogerty, Peso Pluma, Gracie Abrams, Lil Baby, and Tate McRae.

Priyanka Chopra becomes India's highest-paid actress with S S Rajamouli film

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to star in SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated film, SSMB29, alongside Mahesh Babu, following the monumental success of RRR. Rajamouli’s next project, with a budget exceeding Rs. 1000 crore, is expected to be a massive cinematic experience, and fans are eagerly awaiting the fresh pairing of Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.

While excitement builds around the film's grand scale, another major talking point is Priyanka Chopra's reported remuneration for the project. The actress, known for her global appeal, is said to be charging a hefty Rs. 30 crore for SSMB29, making her the highest-paid actress in the Indian film industry. This has reportedly pushed Deepika Padukone, who was previously the highest-paid with a salary of Rs. 15 to 20 crore per film, into second place. Priyanka’s fee has surpassed Deepika’s by a significant margin.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
