In the South film industry, there’s a trend that on an actor’s birthday the first look or the teaser of his next film is unveiled. On Wednesday (28), Dhanush celebrates his 38th birthday, so the makers of #D43 announced the title of their movie and unveiled the first look poster.

Sathya Jyothi Films took to Twitter to share the first look poster of Maaran. They tweeted, “Very happy in presenting you the first look of our next film #Maaran #மாறன் with @dhanushkraja #MaaranFirstLook #HappyBirthdayDhanush @karthicknaren_M @MalavikaM_ @gvprakash @Lyricist_Vivek @thondankani @smruthi_venkat @KK_actoroffl @Actor_Mahendran.”

Maaran is directed by Karthick Naren, and it also stars Malavika Mohanan in the lead role.

The shooting of Maaran started in January this year, and the final schedule of the film kickstarted earlier this month in Hyderabad, India.

Apart from Maaran, Dhanush has a couple of interesting films lined up. He will be seen in movies like Atrangi Re and The Gray Man. The former is a Hindi film directed by Aanand L Rai, and it also stars Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali Khan. Atrangi Re will be Dhanush’s second film with Rai, earlier, the actor-director duo had worked together in Raanjhanaa (2013) which marked Dhanush’s Bollywood debut.

Meanwhile, The Gray Man is an international project directed by Russo Brothers, Anthony and Joe Russo. The movie also stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, and it will be premiered on Netflix.

Abhishek Jain's Maaran explores the dark realities of patriarchy through the gripping survival stories of two women

Abhishek Jain's 'Maaran' is a gripping Gujarati survival thriller that exposes the dark side of patriarchy and power

In Maaran, director Abhishek Jain trades urban comfort for unsettling discomfort, presenting a grim world where women’s bodies are battlegrounds and silence is often enforced by fear. Set in an isolated village, the film drags the viewer into a reality that is as disturbing as it is familiar.

At the heart of the film are two women: Birwa and Tara. Strangers at first, they are bound by the same invisible chains that pull countless women into cycles of exploitation. Birwa is a victim of human trafficking; Tara is on the brink of becoming one. Their stories run parallel, then collide, in ways that shake them and us to the core. The film’s narrative doesn’t offer dramatic rescues or grand revenge. Instead, it focuses on the internal shifts that happen when survival becomes a woman’s only compass.

"There are days my back gives up" – Deepika Padukone opens up about the physical toll of pregnancy

Ranveer Singh has opened up about wife Deepika Padukone’s challenging journey into motherhood, revealing that since the birth of their daughter Dua, Deepika has often neglected her own health, battling mood swings, back pain and emotional strain—as she devotes herself entirely to their newborn.

In a candid joint interview with Marie Claire, the couple discussed the life-changing transition into parenthood. Deepika shared that the experience has brought immense joy, but also physical and emotional challenges she hadn’t fully anticipated. “There are days when my back gives up, and the body feels like it’s not mine,” she admitted. “It’s a constant adjustment—not just physically, but emotionally as well.”

Netflix’s ‘The Royals’ wins praise for glamour and performances despite script flaws

Netflix’s latest Indian original, The Royals, delivers a glossy spectacle of aristocratic opulence, familial chaos and unexpected entrepreneurial rescue. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana and produced under the banner of Pritish Nandy Communications, the series is created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, with writing by Neha Veena Sharma. While the series dazzles visually and offers moments of wit and warmth, it occasionally falters under the weight of its own grandeur and inconsistent script.

Set in the fictional princely state of Morpur, the series follows Aviraaj Singh (Ishaan Khatter), a new-age polo-playing prince who is more concerned with charm and leisure than tradition and responsibility. When his father, the Maharaja (played by Milind Soman), passes away, Aviraaj and his eccentric royal family discover they are drowning in debt. The family, long accustomed to showcasing heirloom jewels, fine wines and extravagant decor, must face the uncomfortable truth: the legacy of royalty does not guarantee financial stability.

Jewel Thief: Self-indulgent stealing story badly let down by silly screenplay

This newly released Netflix crime caper illustrates everything that is currently wrong with commercial Bollywood films. The silly stinker was not good enough for a cinema release, so it was dumped straight on to a streaming platform, with style clearly taking precedence over substance.

Saif Ali Khan plays a suave, globetrotting thief who is blackmailed by a mysterious underworld figure (Jaideep Ahlawat) into stealing a priceless diamond from a museum in Mumbai. Naturally, there is a backstory involving the guilt-ridden protagonist and a law enforcement officer hot on his trail. But instead of offering a gripping battle of attrition or an engaging heist thriller, the film descends into a muddled melting pot of tired clichés and what seem like a series of self-indulgent moments from the lead cast.
