Ranbir Kapoor’s Sanju, which hit the marquee on 29th June and racked up ₹ 34.75 crores on its opening day,stomped to an impressive ₹ 38.60 crores yesterday, taking its two-day tally to ₹ 73.35 crores. It shows the audience has embraced the film wholeheartedly and now it’s going to cross many milestones before wrapping up its theatrical run.

The Rajkumar Hirani directorial, presented by Fox Star Studios, is now poised for an impressive growth on Sunday as well. If the movie continued the momentum today, it will close out its first weekend beyond ₹ 100 crores.

Sanju has shattered many records in just two days of its run. It now aims to break the record of the biggest opening weekend of all time, a record currently held by Salman Khan’s Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), which had pulled in ₹ 114.93 crores over its first weekend. If Sanju makes in excess of ₹ 41 crores on Sunday, it will easily have the record to its name.

Well, if we see how the film has managed to perform over two days, minting ₹ 41 crores should not be a difficult task for it. If the audience keeps patronizing the movie in coming days also, a ₹ 300 crore film is definitely on the cards for Ranbir Kapoor who hasn’t had a great box-office success for a long time.

Also starring Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Jim Sarbh, and Vicky Kaushal, Sanju is a biopic on Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt. The film is jointly produced by frequent collaborators Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

Is Rihanna hinting at a wedding with A$AP Rocky in her new Savage X Fenty bridal campaign?

Rihanna has once again got everyone talking. No, it's not about a new song or red-carpet look. It’s wedding bells, or at least something that looks a lot like them. On Tuesday, she dropped a fresh bridal-themed collection from her lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty.

In a pink lace set with a mini veil and thigh-highs, Rihanna posed next to a towering wedding cake… then kicked it over. That playful chaos and the whole vibe left fans guessing: is this just marketing, or is she hinting at her own walk down the aisle with longtime partner A$AP Rocky?

'Doctor Who' boss Russell T Davies shuts down ‘woke’ backlash over diverse casting

The creative force behind Doctor Who, Russell T Davies, has spoken out about criticism aimed at the show for being “too woke.” His message? He’s not interested in appeasing online outrage. The BBC sci-fi series recently made headlines for introducing its first-ever non-white lead duo. Ncuti Gatwa returns as the Doctor, joined by newcomer Varada Sethu as companion Belinda Chandra.

But some viewers took to the internet to complain that the show had become overly focused on diversity. Davies, speaking on BBC Radio 2’s Doctor Who: 20 Secrets from 20 Years, brushed aside the complaints. He said what some call “woke” or “diverse,” he simply sees as making space for everyone. “It’s not some agenda,” he said. “It’s just how life looks now.”

Amazon cancels Citadel with Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan as Priyanka Chopra series takes the lead

Amazon has officially called time on Citadel: Honey Bunny and Citadel: Diana, the Indian and Italian spin-offs of its ambitious spy universe. The decision means fans won’t get a second season of either show, despite initial plans to expand the franchise across continents. Instead, their storylines will now be folded into the second season of the original Citadel, led by Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden, which is now set to release in 2026.

Citadel, launched in 2023 with big-budget backing and star power, was created by the Russo Brothers as Amazon’s answer to global spy franchises like James Bond. While the show faced its share of behind-the-scenes drama, it managed to kickstart a broader universe. India’s version, Honey Bunny, featured Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan, while Diana in Italy was fronted by Matilda De Angelis. Both dropped in 2024 to mixed reviews but decent viewership.

Soha Ali Khan reveals facing criticism since 2015 for her interfaith marriage to Kunal Kemmu

Being part of a high-profile family hasn't shielded Soha Ali Khan from criticism especially when it comes to personal choices that defy conventional boxes. Despite her calm public demeanour, Soha recently shared how she continues to receive unwarranted remarks about her interfaith marriage with actor Kunal Kemmu, even a decade after tying the knot.

Soha and Kunal’s relationship has often been under public gaze, not because of their work in films or parenting approach, but because they come from different religious backgrounds. Married since 2015, the couple has been quietly raising their daughter, Inaaya, while often posting glimpses of their celebrations whether Diwali or Eid. But each post is met with an odd barrage of questions. “How many rozas have you kept?” is one of the recurring comments she sees if she shares a Diwali picture. During Holi, people ask, “What kind of Muslim are you?”
