Good Newwz continues its unstoppable run at the box-office

As expected, Good Newwz (2019) continued its magical run at the box-office after a fantastic first weekend. The comic-caper, featuring Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani in principal roles, maintained a strong grip at the cash counter on Monday as well and put up a great collection on the first day of the week.

On Monday, Good Newwz garnered Rs. 13.41 crores, taking its total collection to Rs 78.40 crore nett in the domestic market. The film has posed a tough competition to superstar Salman Khan’s much-publicized Dabangg 3 which hit the marquee a week before on 20th December. The collection of Khan’s cop-drama has already dipped and looking at the current pace of Good Newwz, one can safely say that it is set to dent Dabangg 3’s income further. As per trade pundits, Good Newwz will keep raking in moolah over the week and it may close out its first week with an impressive figure of around Rs. 120 crore nett or even higher.

Good Newwz is directed by Raj Mehta, who has previously assisted filmmaker Shashank Khaitan on Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) and Dhadak (2018). The movie opened to great reviews and excellent word of mouth, which helped it mint Rs. 17.50 crore nett on the day of its release. On its second day, the collection soared to Rs. 21.50 crore. The movie earned Rs 26 crore nett on Sunday. Good Newwz recorded the seventh highest weekend of the year after War, Bharat, Saaho (Hindi), Dabangg 3, Kabir Singh and Mission Mangal.

Helmed by Raj Mehta, Good Newwz is bankrolled by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions. It rolled into theatres on 27th December, 2020.

'You' season 5 reviews: Critics react to Joe Goldberg’s bloody final chapter with mixed responses

Netflix’s You has always sparked strong reactions, equal parts addictive and absurd, and its fifth and final season stays true to that legacy. As Joe Goldberg bows out in this last chapter, the critical response has been a mix of intrigue, exhaustion, and reluctant admiration. Here's a breakdown of the overall verdict.

A slow start that eventually pays off?
The final season has been widely described as sluggish in its early episodes, bogged down by repetitive family drama surrounding Kate’s aristocratic and scheming relatives. The beginning feels a bit slow and hard to get into, but many agree that a mid-season twist helps inject some long-overdue energy. Once the narrative picks up, it becomes more engaging, if not exactly fresh, with enough momentum to keep viewers curious about how Joe's story will unravel.

Pedro Pascal criticise JK Rowling over her anti-trans views calling it ‘heinous loser behaviour’

Pedro Pascal isn’t staying silent. The Last of Us actor has sharply criticised JK Rowling after she celebrated a UK Supreme Court decision that defines “woman” in legal terms as only referring to biological females, a ruling that has sparked outrage across the globe.

Rowling, who helped fund the legal campaign that led to the verdict, celebrated the moment with a photo of herself on a yacht, drink in hand and cigar between her fingers, captioned: “I love it when a plan comes together.” Her post came across as a victory lap for a verdict that many see as a blow to trans rights, particularly for trans women, who now risk being excluded from single-sex spaces.

But when someone turns up dead in their own community, their amateur investigations suddenly get very real. What begins as a hobby quickly becomes a full-blown murder mystery, and they might be the only ones clever and nosy enough to crack it.

From chaos to cult: The mad journey of ‘Andaz Apna Apna’

Beloved Bollywood entertainer Andaz Apna Apna has delighted generations of film fans and is now regarded as a cult classic of Indian cinema. Its producers have consistently maintained that the comedy did well when it was released, but as the film was over budget, it did not make any profits at the time.

Over the years, however, this light-hearted movie – first released on 4 November 1994 – found its largest audience through home entertainment, in such a spectacular way that it is rightly regarded as one of the finest Indian comedies ever made.
