3 Idiots couldn’t fix education. Swades couldn’t stop brain drain. But Animal and Dhurandhar apparently manufacture killers.
Before cinema, criminals presumably had to attend workshops. Thankfully, Bollywood came along.
Selective influence. Convenient science.
“This is fiction” belongs under your tweet, Dhruv.
Bihar Museum is a monumental achievement, it left me awestruck on my first visit. It is absolutely world class and beautifully done. Must visit for one and all..
Bihar Museum, Patna, has been ranked 9th globally and 1st in Asia in The World’s 100 Best Museums 2026, a list published by Worth a Journey, an international travel magazine.
The museum brings together remarkable collections of historical artefacts, sculptures, coins, manuscripts and folk art, offering visitors a compelling journey through the region’s past.

#Jailer2 Has been finally watched..and i loved it..it’s simply fantastic..a perfect sequel..takes time initially but then it just blasts off..@Nelsondilpkumar does a fantastic job in scaling it up and at the same time keeping the core brand value intact..a solid masterclass in sequel making..the galaxy of cameos uff too much..@rajinikanth is in God mode..at 75 he makes it look like a walk in the park..and all other cast perform extraordinarily well..if i had to nitpick the music is letdown as compared to previous instalment but the BG more than makes up..i will watch it again for sure..Commercial Desi Cinema at its best..Highly recommended

Netflix is evolving right before our eyes. Mass layoffs, including top executives. Yes, a company obsessed with algorithms, data and AI is downsizing, while suddenly and without warning, reporting theatrical box office numbers. This is a larger tell than you think.
Perhaps Netflix is discovering something Hollywood has known for a century… technology can predict behavior, but it can’t manufacture cultural relevance. That’s theatrical. Always has been. And they’re finally acknowledging that.
Ironic because Netflix spent two decades convincing Hollywood that the theatrical model was becoming obsolete… and now it’s experimenting with the very system it helped undermine.
#Jailer2 hearing banger reports of the film..WoM is very good.. @rajinikanth will deliver another Blockbuster it seems..should run havoc specially in TN..
If #Pralay is done right and brings the commercial sensibility along with rooted in Indian psyche..A full blow desi zombie film will decimate the boxoffice like anything..My only advise would be to not make it a very genre specific film but a multi genre style with Zombie theme and watch @RanveerOfficial deliver another monster.

#MirzapurTheMovie: Good to see @AmazonMGMStudio tasting boxoffice success in India too..they knocked it out of the park globally with #ProjectHailMary. They also had #SheepDetective #MastersoftheUniverse #Mercy and #Crime101..happy to see them succeed theatrically.
#Awaarapan2 then #HanumanAnsh and now #MirzapurTheMovie..Boxoffice is beautiful, it teaches you everyday..learn, unlearn then learn and repeat..
#MirzapurTheMovie Advances are terrific..film should open really well across the board..The excitement is building very nicely..and if the film delivers it can really explode at the boxoffice setting huge benchmarks..@TripathiiPankaj @alifazal9 @divyenndu @excelmovies

#Toxic
They’ve built a very strong narrative: that people don’t prefer single screens, that audiences avoid them, that the single screen is where films go to die.
Then look at Toxic in Delhi.
In a multiplex-led market, audiences are flocking to Delite and Liberty — two single screens — while the multiplex crowd hasn’t come out as expected. The single screens are sold out. The multiplexes are quiet.
So what’s really going on?
The film dictates the audience. The kind of content you make decides who shows up and where. And for years, single screens haven’t been failing — they’ve been deprived. Denied the content that suits them, then blamed for the empty seats that followed.
The blame was always misplaced. It was never that single screens can’t pull a crowd. It’s that the films meant for them stopped coming.
Give a good single screen the right content, and it doesn’t just survive — it explodes.
That’s what Delite and Liberty are showing us right now. @TheNameIsYash @KvnProductions @GeetuMohandas
#Toxic
Why #Toxic is opening like a monster?
The audience isn’t booking a new film. They’re booking more of a persona they already own.
Raya = Rocky Bhai, evolved. That continuity is everything. A new archetype is a gamble. A known one is a guaranteed high. Zero uncertainty about the swagger they’re walking in for → zero friction to book.
Then it increments. More action. Further into the animal zone. Higher shock value, adult innuendo, an A-cert that screams unrestrained. A double role that doubles the star.
Same core reward, dialled up. That’s how franchises print money.
Two songs landing in the Hindi market — KGF ran on BGM, Toxic has actual hooks — and the net widens past the base.
Now add a 3-year absence + four delays. Manufactured deprivation. Scarcity → craving. These presales aren’t hype. They’re a pressure valve bursting.
On paper, Toxic isn’t a KGF sequel.
In the audience’s head, it already is. @TheNameIsYash @GeetuMohandas @advani_kiara @NayantharaU
