Deepika Padukone slams Oscars but overlooks flaws in India’s film selection process

A recent Instagram post from Deepika Padukone criticising the Oscars got global attention, but few seem to have noticed it also revealed just how clueless many big-name Bollywood celebrities like her are.

In the short video clip, Padukone called out the Academy Awards for repeatedly snubbing Indian films and talent, using a montage of titles such as All We Imagine As Light, Laapataa Ladies, Tumbbad, and The Lunchbox to illustrate her point. While her suggestion that the popular awards ceremony has consistently overlooked Indian cinema may appear valid, a closer look shows that she is blaming the wrong people.

Rami Malek says filming 'The Amateur' in London made him paranoid about surveillance: “I’m being watched all the time”

Rami Malek’s latest role in The Amateur has left a lasting impression on him but not just because of the action-packed storyline. The actor, best known for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, says working on the CIA thriller has made him more alert and a bit unsettled about just how closely we’re being watched in cities like London.

The film follows Malek as Charlie Heller, a CIA codebreaker who loses his wife, played by Rachel Brosnahan, in a terrorist attack. When the agency refuses to take proper action, he pushes back, demanding training and diving headfirst into a solo mission to track down those responsible. It’s not your typical shootout story and Charlie uses brain over brawn, relying on tech, smarts and cyber tools to get justice.

Is Aaron Taylor-Johnson the new 007? Pierce Brosnan backs him as a ‘great’ James Bond

Pierce Brosnan isn’t one for loud endorsements, but when it comes to Aaron Taylor-Johnson stepping into the shoes of James Bond, he’s quietly confident. The former 007,known for his sharp suits and steady hand in four Bond films between 1995 and 2002, believes Taylor-Johnson could handle the legacy.

“He’d be great,” Brosnan said reflecting on a time they worked together over a decade ago. The film was The Greatest, a family drama where Taylor-Johnson starred alongside Brosnan, Susan Sarandon, and Carey Mulligan. Even back then, the young actor stood out to him. “He walked onto that set and brought this intense energy with him,” Brosnan recalled. “He owned the space.”

David Corenswet’s Superman lies injured as Krypto drags him to safety in a bold twist on the classic hero introduction

James Gunn’s 'Superman' trailer divides DC fans: Krypto, robot medics & comedy spark backlash

We have a latest glimpse into Superman, directed by James Gunn, and this isn’t your typical cape-flapping hero moment. Instead of flying in to save the day, we see a battered Superman lying helplessly on the ground, calling out for help and not from a fellow superhero, but from his dog, Krypto. It’s an unusual start, and it sets the tone for what’s clearly a very different take on the man of steel.

Revealed during Warner Bros.’ CinemaCon presentation and now available online, the extended trailer leans into a quirky, even offbeat tone. Superman, played by David Corenswet, is in rough shape and unable to move. As Krypto loyally drags him back to the Fortress of Solitude, things take an unexpected turn. Instead of crystal tech and solemn silence, Superman is greeted by a squad of cape-wearing robot medics who spring into action to patch him up. One scene even shows them harnessing sunlight to heal his wounds, a visual nod to Superman’s solar-powered strength.
