Pushpak, the 1987 film starring Kamal Haasan, will be re-released in cinema halls soon, the makers have announced.

Directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, the black comedy drama was premiered on November 27, 1987.

Originally titled Pushpaka Vimana in Kannada, the film was released as Pushpaka Vimanam in Telugu, Pesum Padam in Tamil, Pushpakvimanam in Malayalam and Pushpak in Hindi.

Production house Raaj Kamal Films International shared the announcement on its official X page Saturday evening.

"#Pushpak #Pesumpadam, a pioneer in silent black comedy and an iconic masterpiece of Indian cinema, will be re-released in theatres soon. #Ulaganayagan #KamalHaasan #SingeethamSrinivasaRao @ikamalhaasan," the banner said in the post.

According to a press release, Pushpak revolves around an unemployed graduate who encounters a drunk rich unconscious man and takes over his lifestyle after keeping him as a prisoner.

"However, he does not realise the dangers he has brought upon himself because a hired killer believes him to be his target," read the logline of the film, which has no dialogue.

It also stars Amala, Samir Khakhar, Tinu Anand, K S Ramesh, Farida Jalal, Pratap Potan, Lokanath, P L Narayana and Ramya.

Laugh Out Loud with Sapan Verma's Lower Back Pain

Sapan Verma's Lower Back Pain in Soho!

If you're looking for a comedy show that blends raw honesty, cultural wit, and laugh-out-loud moments, Indian comedian Sapan Verma’s brand-new stand-up special Lower Back Pain is exactly what you need. Taking place at Soho Theatre from Tuesday, 27 May to Saturday, 31 May, this highly anticipated show marks Verma’s debut on the London stage — and he's arriving with a bang. A trailblazer in the Indian comedy scene, Verma invites audiences to watch him unravel on stage in a hilariously unfiltered performance that speaks to the millennial experience, physical ageing, and everyday chaos.

Described by Verma himself as a public breakdown disguised as comedy, Lower Back Pain is a bilingual (Hindi-English) stand-up show that dives deep into the absurdities of adult life — from health woes to existential dread and everything in between. This isn’t just about jokes; it’s a full-on comedic therapy session where Sapan turns his personal lows into your evening’s entertainment.

England to roll out world-first gonorrhoea vaccine

England is set to become the first country in the world to introduce a national gonorrhoea vaccination programme, in a move hailed by health officials as a “landmark moment for sexual health”. The rollout will begin on 1 August 2025 and will use an existing meningitis B vaccine, known as 4CMenB, to help combat soaring cases of gonorrhoea and growing concerns over antibiotic resistance.

The sexually transmitted infection (STI) reached record levels in England in 2023, with more than 85,000 cases reported — the highest number since records began in 1918. Health experts have warned that strains of the bacteria responsible for gonorrhoea, neisseria gonorrhoeae, are becoming increasingly resistant to current treatments.

Janhvi Kapoor channels mother Sridevi’s timeless grace at Cannes 2025 in Tarun Tahiliani couture

Janhvi Kapoor’s first walk down the Cannes red carpet wasn’t just about fashion. It was a quiet, graceful nod to her late mother, Sridevi. Dressed in a soft rose outfit designed by Tarun Tahiliani, Janhvi chose not to speak about the tribute, but the resemblance in mood, elegance, and styling made the message loud enough for those who knew her mother’s legacy.

On 20 May, Janhvi stepped onto the red carpet for the premiere of Homebound, accompanied by her co-stars Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, director Neeraj Ghaywan, and producers including Karan Johar. The outfit, made from real tissue fabric woven in Benaras, had a delicate sheen and came with a veil that covered her low bun in a look that immediately reminded many of Sridevi’s timeless appearances in traditional wear.

Is Hindu psyche averse to confrontation?

Over 5,000 years ago, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, two armies comprising tens of thousands of men were ready to begin a war. The Pandavs were led by Arjuna, a warrior whose archery skills were unbeatable. At the last minute, before the war was to commence, Arjuna put down his weapons and declared to Krishna his decision not to fight. He reasoned that the war would kill tens of thousands of people all for a kingdom. It took the whole of the Bhagavad Gita to convince Arjuna to fight.

Even after Krishna destroyed all his doubts, Arjuna asked to see Krishna in his form as a supreme God. In short, Arjuna wanted to avoid confrontation at any cost.
