Colors’ Bahu Begum under scanner?

According to the latest reports, Colors is planning to pull down one of its recently launched show. Yes, you heard it absolutely right! Speculations are rife that Bahu Begum is being axed by the channel. Produced by LSD Films Private Limited, the costume drama hit the airwaves on 15th July, 2019 and is expected to go off-air in the next few weeks.

Bahu Begum stars Arjit Taneja, Samiksha Jaiswal and Diana Khan in lead roles. The story follows the lives of Azaan Akhtar Mirza, Shayra Sayyed and Noor Qureshi who are bound by a marriage due to misunderstandings and fate. The show was launched with much fanfare. However, it failed to perform as per expectations of the makers and remained low on TRP charts. And now, the channel is finally taking it down.

When actor Arjit Taneja, who plays the male lead, was asked about the show going off-air, he told an entertainment portal, “I don’t know. I am doing my job as an actor and giving my best. Rest you should ask the producer and creatives who work on the story.”

Actress Amrapali Gupta, who is seen the character of Begum Suraiya Mirza, told the publication, “You really can’t blame the creative for the huge story changes, for writers too are forced to toe the public opinion. Also, our low numbers can be attributed to the time slot and also to changing platform preferences. Nowadays, most prefer to watch content online rather than on TV. I too prefer watching my daily Colors shows on Voot.”

An official announcement confirming the show’s end is awaited.

Ibrahim Ali Khan’s fiery DM to Pakistani critic over ‘Nadaaniyan’ sparks social media uproar

Ibrahim Ali Khan has found himself at the centre of an online storm following his message to Pakistani film critic Tamur Iqbal. The critic had shared his blunt review of Ibrahim’s debut film Nadaaniyan, mocking not only the film but also taking a personal swipe at Ibrahim’s appearance. What followed was an angry message from the young actor that has since gone viral.

Tamur Iqbal had posted a story on Instagram, criticising Nadaaniyan for its performances and taking a dig at Ibrahim’s “huge nose.” While harsh reviews are common in the world of cinema, Ibrahim’s alleged reaction caught many by surprise. In a screenshot Tamur later shared publicly, Ibrahim appears to lash out, calling the critic “an ugly piece of trash” and threatening to “leave you uglier” if they crossed paths in person.

Millie Bobby Brown and the rise of cinema’s first ‘stream queen’ with 'The Electric State'

At just 21 years old, Millie Bobby Brown has already secured her place as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. The star of Stranger Things, who first captivated audiences with her portrayal of Eleven, now finds herself at the forefront of Netflix’s most high-profile projects. However, her latest role in The Electric State, a mindbogglingly expensive Netflix sci-fi film, has sparked mixed reactions and raised questions about her trajectory as a ‘Stream Queen’ – a title that comes with both acclaim and criticism.

The Electric State, in which Brown stars alongside Chris Pratt, has not been warmly received by critics. Described by The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey as “punishingly obvious and completely incoherent,” the film’s one-star reviews have been echoed by many others. The movie, which centres around two hollow characters moving aimlessly through a barren plot, seems to be yet another forgettable venture in Brown’s recent streak of Netflix productions.
