By: Mohnish Singh

Star Plus never stops rolling out one exciting show after the other. The leading general entertainment channel already has several high-profile shows ruling TRP charts. Adding to its rich catalogue is the new finite-series Rudrakaal, which is set to premiere today.


Rudrakaal promises to be a tightly packed crime-thriller set in today’s times. In this modern era of war tactics, the enemy is going for death by thousand cuts. Rudrakaal exemplifies that concept by showing how people are vulnerable to vicious conspiracies and get lured into being pitted against each other. How tech can play a role in inflicting a thousand cuts and while we may think the enemy is across the border, the enemy is all around us.

You might be wondering if there is anything you need to know before the series goes on air tonight. Don’t worry, we have you covered. Read on to find out more about what could be a fun Sunday binge for you.

A Star-studded Line-up:

Bhanu Uday Goswami is back to entertain us yet again. Whenever he played epic cop roles in his career, everyone just loved him. Here, too, he is set to entertain us in the form of an honest IPS officer, DCP Ranjan Chittoda, who is brought in to investigate the murder of his former mentor. During his investigation, he stumbles upon a conspiracy, and the chaos that entails forms the crux of the story.

What stands out about the series is their choice of actors. The makers have selected an amazing set of actors who have proven their worth in the acting industry for a long set of time.

Besides Bhanu, the ensemble cast of Rudrakaal also includes the likes of Dipannita Sharma, Rudraksh Jaiswal, Harsh Joshi, Swanand Kirkire, Shruti Marathe, Kishor Kadam, Suraj Singh, Flora Saini, Bijay Anand among others.

A Finite-series:

The promos of the show have caught everyone's attention. The show seems a complete visual treat and looks thrilling, whether be it the breath-taking visuals of the Maximum City Mumbai, the magnificent weaponry, grand production at an international level, or last but not the least, the characters, their mannerisms, body transformations that make for a complete package.

The channel has collaborated with Dashmi Productions for creative storytelling and offers premium, fresh, and finite content with superior production values and narratives that have a wide appeal. The makers are confident that the content has immense potential and pull for the comprehensive audience

Thrill Factor:

The show is more extravagant and bombastic than your typical thrillers. Car chases, vicious and brutal hand-to-hand brawls, and larger-than-life personalities take precedence over looking for clues and piecing together motives. It makes for a very lively, entertaining, and easy-to-follow time.

Viewers have taken to social media to express their curiosity about the new finite series and the show has been trending for the last 24 hours on Twitter.

Produced by Dashmi Productions, Rudrakaal is set to hit airwaves tonight at 7 pm only on Star Plus. Don't forget to catch it!

Indian police probe influencer Ranveer Allahbadia for sexual joke about reality show contestant's parents

Popular podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as BeerBiceps, has landed in hot water over a controversial remark he made on India’s Got Latent, a show hosted by comedian Samay Raina. Following backlash online, the Mumbai Police have initiated an enquiry into the matter.

What happened?

During a recent episode of India’s Got Latent, where Ranveer appeared as a guest alongside content creators Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija, he asked a contestant an inappropriate question that quickly sparked outrage. While the panel and audience laughed at the moment, the reaction online was anything but forgiving.

On Monday morning, lawyers Ashish Rai and Pankaj Mishra filed a formal complaint with the Mumbai Police, alleging that the remarks were obscene and offensive. Authorities soon visited the Khar-based Habitat building, where the show was recorded, to investigate the incident. Deputy Commissioner of Police Dikshit Gedam confirmed that an enquiry is underway, though no FIR has been registered yet.

Ed Sheeran’s surprise Bengaluru street gig shut down by police: Viral video sparks online debate

Ed Sheeran’s impromptu street performance on Bengaluru’s buzzing Church Street took an unexpected turn when local police pulled the plug—literally! The British singer, mid-way through Shape of You, was stopped by officers, leaving fans in shock and the internet in stitches.

The viral video showed Sheeran strumming his guitar, drawing a growing crowd, when a policeman stepped in and disconnected his microphone. The pop icon, unfazed, simply smiled and addressed the fans: “We had permission to be here, but this policeman is shutting it down.”

Permission or not?
While Sheeran later reassured fans on Instagram—“We had permission to busk, by the way. This wasn’t just us randomly turning up. All good though. See you at the show tonight x”—Bengaluru police had a different take.

Super Bowl 2025: Taylor Swift booed, Kendrick Lamar stuns, Trump sparks controversy

Super Bowl 2025: Taylor Swift booed, Kendrick Lamar stuns, Trump sparks controversy

The 2025 Super Bowl was a spectacle of high-stakes football, unexpected drama, and headline-grabbing performances, with Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar stealing the spotlight in very different ways. Held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, the night saw the Philadelphia Eagles dominate the Kansas City Chiefs with a 40-22 victory, crushing the Chiefs’ hopes for a historic third consecutive Super Bowl win. But while the action on the field was intense, it was Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and even President Donald Trump who truly made waves off it.

Taylor Swift, attending to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, found herself at the centre of controversy when Eagles fans booed as she appeared on the jumbotron. While she laughed it off with Ice Spice by her side, the moment quickly went viral, raising questions and conversations about sports rivalries and celebrity fandoms colliding. Things escalated even further when Donald Trump jumped into the drama. Trump, who has a history of taking jabs at Swift, mocked her and the Chiefs on Truth Social, calling them the night’s “biggest losers.” His comments only added to the online frenzy, with fans fiercely defending Swift while others enjoyed the spectacle.



If the game was a battle on the field, Kendrick Lamar turned the halftime show into a lyrical showdown. Performing a mix of his biggest hits, Lamar also took a not-so-subtle jab at Drake by teasing his diss track "Not Like Us." He even cheekily told the crowd, “I want to play their favourite song, but you know they love to sue,” a clear reference to the ongoing legal drama over the track. Adding to the buzz, Serena Williams made a surprise appearance, dancing on stage, which only fuelled speculation given her past links to Drake. The crowd went wild, and the internet had another Super Bowl moment to dissect.

For the first time in history, a sitting U.S. president attended the Super Bowl. Trump walked onto the field for a tribute to victims of a recent terror attack in New Orleans. While some fans cheered, others booed loudly, making his presence as polarising as ever.

From Swift’s unexpected booing to Lamar’s powerhouse performance and even Trump’s appearance, the 2025 Super Bowl proved that the biggest moments don’t always happen on the field. The Eagles may have won the game, but it’s the music, celebrity drama, and political twists that will keep this Super Bowl in the headlines long after the final whistle.
