Mohit Suri is one director who very well knows to merge romance with thriller. We have seen that in his movies like Zeher, Awarapan, Murder 2, and Ek Villain. His last two releases, Hamari Adhuri Kahani and Half Girlfriend, both were romantic films. But now, with Malang, the director returns to the genre of romantic-thriller.
Malang is about Advait (Aditya Roy Kapur) who is out from jail after five years and is on a killing spree. Back-to-back he kills three police officers in one night. But why is he doing that? Is Sara (Disha Patani) the reason behind it? Well, watch the film to know that...
The story of the film is written by Aseem Arrora and the screenplay is written by Aniruddha Guha. While the story is interesting, the screenplay keeps us hooked to the screens. Though you might feel that the first half could have been better, keep patience and wait for the second half as you will be in for a super thrilling ride.
While the story and screenplay are good, Mohit Suri's narration is also up to the mark. If the screenplay in the first half falters a bit, it is Suri's narration style that saves the movie. Also, you might predict the climax of the film, but the way it has been narrated, it turns out to be interesting.
Talking about actors, Aditya Roy Kapur is good in his part and impresses us with performance. Disha Patani has a very good role to play and she does justice to the character of Sara. Thankfully, this time she has a big role. Anil Kapoor is outstanding as usual. Elli AvrRam also delivers a good performance.
But, there's one actor who steals the show and stands out in the whole cast. We are talking about Kunal Kemmu. He is simply fantastic in the film. This is clearly his career's best performance and we won't be surprised if he takes home the Best Villain trophies for his performance in the film.
Coming to music, songs are the soul of the film. You will be humming the title track while coming out of the theatres.
Overall, Malang is a good entertaining film. It is the perfect mixture of romance and thriller and has some amazing performances in it.

INDIA's foreign minister said he spoke to his Canadian counterpart as both countries work to ease tensions.
The telephone call, held late Sunday, marked the highest-level diplomatic contact between Ottawa and New Delhi since Mark Carney became Canadian prime minister in March.
Relations between Canada and India have been strained since accusations were made over New Delhi’s involvement in the 2023 killing of a Canadian Sikh, claims India has denied.
India’s Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said he had “discussed the prospects of India-Canada ties” with newly appointed foreign minister Anita Anand and had “wished her a very successful tenure”.
Anand, whose parents came from India, said on X that she looked forward to “strengthening Canada–India ties, deepening our economic cooperation, and advancing shared priorities”.
Canada hosts the largest Sikh community outside India, including activists for “Khalistan”, a separatist movement that seeks to carve an independent state for Sikhs out of India.
Ottawa had previously accused India of orchestrating the 2023 killing in Vancouver of 45-year-old naturalised Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Khalistan campaigner, and of targeting other Sikh activists linked to the movement.
India has repeatedly rejected these claims, which led to both countries expelling several senior diplomats last year.
The Khalistan campaign dates back to India’s 1947 independence and has been blamed for the killing of an Indian prime minister and the bombing of a passenger jet.
It remains a source of tension between India and several Western nations with large Sikh communities.
New Delhi has called for stronger action against the Khalistan movement, which is banned in India, with some of its leaders accused of “terrorism”.
Canada will host the G7 summit next month.
Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has been invited to previous G7 summits since 2019, when France invited him to Biarritz. There are no details as to whether Modi has been invited to Canada.
Jade Thirlwall set Liverpool’s Sefton Park ablaze during her first solo headline at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend. From sly lyric switch-ups to nostalgic nods, Jade used her stage as a breadcrumb trail, and fans are gobbling up every clue pointing to a potential Little Mix reunion. Whether it’s instinct or intention, the signs feel too loud to ignore. Here's every cheeky, emotional, and strategic move Jade made that has the fandom whispering: the girls are coming back.

“It’s a hiatus!” — Jade rewrites the Wasabi script
During her electrifying take on Wasabi, Jade took a lyrical detour that sent shockwaves through the crowd. Just before the classic line, “I bet they gonna break up,” she interrupted herself and yelled, “It’s a hiatus!” The crowd erupted. It was playful, yes, but let’s be honest, that wasn’t just for laughs. That tiny rewrite was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it reminder that Little Mix was never over. Just on pause. Intentional or instinctive, it hit like a mic drop.
Jade could’ve used the solo stage to focus purely on her own songs. But instead, she turned back the clock and delivered a medley of Touch, Shout Out to My Ex, Sweet Melody, and Woman Like Me. The energy screamed: “These songs still belong to us.” And every fan knew this wasn’t nostalgia. This was a reminder.
Midway through her set, Jade paused to thank the crowd, but it was the part where she looked straight into the camera and said, “I love the Little Mix girls with all my heart… I wouldn’t be here without them,” that really struck a chord. This wasn’t PR politeness or rehearsed humility. It was raw. It was real. It sounded like someone who’s been through the highs, the heartbreaks, and the healing and still holds the band as a cornerstone.
Long before the glitter and smoke of Sefton Park, Jade had already cracked the door open to a comeback. In a 2024 interview, she said, “I’d never close that door… A reunion will definitely happen at some point.” She even teased the idea of a North American tour. The way she talks about Little Mix isn’t in the past tense. It’s in ellipses. As if the sentence is still being written, just with a few solo side quests in between.
Jade’s upcoming album That’s Showbiz Baby! drops this September, with a tour to follow. It’s the exact kind of solo rollout that artists use to stretch their wings and then soar back home. Every strategic step she’s taken is like the classic pop playbook: slay your solo moment, then reunite at the height of your powers. With the spotlight hotter than ever, the smart money’s on a grand return just when no one expects it. Or better just when everyone hopes for it.
As the final confetti fell and the crowd chanted her name, something hung in the air. A feeling that this wasn’t a farewell to Little Mix, but a prelude. Jade Thirlwall may be standing on her own, but every move she made that night whispered one thing loud and clear: this story isn’t finished. It’s just waiting for the next beat to drop.
And when it does? Expect fireworks.

The Reds took to an open-top bus parade that wound its way through the city
Liverpool was awash with red on Monday as thousands of jubilant supporters packed the streets to celebrate the club’s long-awaited Premier League triumph. The Reds took to an open-top bus parade that wound its way through the city, giving fans the chance to share in the glory of Liverpool’s 20th league title.

After years of near misses and close calls, Liverpool finally secured the crown last month, reigniting the passion of a fanbase desperate for silverware. The parade came just a day after the team lifted the Premier League trophy at Anfield following a 1-1 draw against FA Cup winners Crystal Palace on Sunday, marking a triumphant conclusion to an extraordinary campaign.

The atmosphere was electric as the open-top bus carried the players through Liverpool’s iconic streets, with scenes of jubilation and celebration at every turn. Supporters of all ages lined the route, waving scarves, chanting club anthems and singing in unison. The joy was palpable, a testament to the hard work and resilience shown by the squad throughout the season.

Tom Werner, Liverpool’s chairman, addressed the crowd during the parade and spoke optimistically about the club’s future. He promised a “big summer” ahead, signalling plans to strengthen the squad and maintain the momentum that brought them back to the summit of English football. “We’re going to bring in the players who can help us push even further,” Werner said, raising the hopes of supporters eager for continued success.
Alongside the celebration, safety remained a top priority. Merseyside Police were on high alert, mindful of incidents during previous celebrations when flares caused injuries to fans and children. Last month’s title celebrations saw 50 reports of burns, including injuries to a three-year-old child. In response, the police, Liverpool City Council and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital urged fans to avoid pyrotechnics and protect children from the dangers associated with flares.
Ahead of Monday’s parade, four drones were seized by police, and a temporary restricted airspace was imposed over parts of the route to prevent any aerial disruptions. The restricted zone covered key areas such as Leeds Street, New Quay, Georges Dock Gate, Goree, Strand Street, Wapping and Sefton Street.
Chief Inspector Chris Barnes, the silver commander for the parade’s security, emphasised the importance of safety during the event. “We want everyone who attends to have a safe and enjoyable time. Nobody should have to suffer an injury as a result of the reckless actions of another individual,” he said.

Liverpool’s title win marked a significant milestone for the club, ending a league title drought of over a decade and reasserting their status among English football’s elite. The achievement was a collective effort, with the squad’s determination, the manager’s tactical acumen, and the unwavering support of the fans playing vital roles.
The 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday was enough to secure the championship and set the stage for the celebrations that followed. The match itself was a tense affair, but the focus soon shifted to the broader success that Liverpool had earned over the course of the season.
Throughout the parade, the unity between the club and its supporters was unmistakable. The streets echoed with cheers, songs and applause as the bus made its way through the heart of Liverpool. Fans celebrated not only a trophy but the spirit and pride of a city that lives and breathes football.

As the parade concluded, anticipation grew for the summer transfer window, with Werner’s promise suggesting that the club will aim to build a squad capable of challenging on multiple fronts next season. The message was clear: Liverpool’s ambition is undimmed, and the pursuit of further trophies is already underway.
For now, though, the focus was firmly on celebrating a historic victory. Liverpool’s 20th league title is a landmark achievement, and Monday’s parade provided the perfect opportunity for players and fans alike to revel in a momentous occasion.

Alia Bhatt shares her admiration for Fahadh Faasil and Malayalam cinema
Alia Bhatt, who turned heads at Cannes this year with her elegant Gucci saree, has opened up about her admiration for Malayalam cinema, particularly actor Fahadh Faasil. In a recent interview, she didn’t mince words: Aavesham is one of her top picks from this year, and she was blown away by Fahadh’s performance.
Alia called him a “fantastic” actor and said she’d love to work with him. It wasn’t just a passing compliment either. Her enthusiasm for Malayalam talent was evident when she reflected on working with Roshan Mathew in Darlings. She praised him as a gifted performer who's successfully made the leap from Malayalam to Hindi cinema.
This admiration reflects a larger shift in Alia’s perspective on Indian cinema. For her, language and region don’t matter, what counts is good storytelling and strong performances. She believes that streaming platforms have played a huge role in breaking down barriers, making it easier for audiences and actors like herself to discover talent from every corner of the country.
She spoke about this during her interview at Cannes, noting that the pandemic changed how we view content. With everything now accessible online, she says, it’s easier to appreciate work from across cultures and languages. She even recalled watching a recent Oscar-winning animated film from the Philippines and being moved by the unique perspective it offered.
Her praise for Fahadh comes at a time when he’s gearing up for his Bollywood debut in The Idiot of Istanbul. Meanwhile, Alia is juggling multiple projects. After Jigra, she’s now working on Alpha from YRF’s spy universe and Love & War with Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Fahadh, too, has a packed slate, with Pushpa 2, Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, and a yet-untitled film featuring both Mammootty and Mohanlal in Malayalam. He also has upcoming Tamil and Telugu releases.

They warned that touching the affected areas could result in burns
A widely sold kitchen appliance has been urgently recalled due to safety concerns. The Haden 11L Stackable Air Fryer, available at Wilko and The Range, has been flagged as a serious fire hazard by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS).
The UK’s product safety watchdog said the air fryer fails to meet essential safety requirements. Tests found that the appliance’s heating element can exceed the temperature limit of 150°C, causing the outer plastic and metal parts to melt or warp. This poses a significant risk of fire and potential burn injuries.
In a product alert, the OPSS urged customers to stop using the air fryer immediately and return it to any branch of Wilko or The Range for a full refund or store credit.
A joint statement from both retailers, initially issued in February, confirmed that the recall was a precautionary measure after reports of the appliance’s casing melting during extended use at high temperatures. They warned that touching the affected areas could result in burns, and emphasised the potential fire danger.

No injuries or incidents have been officially reported, but the recall is being treated with urgency. Customers who own the fryer are being strongly advised to act immediately.
