With ₹ 84.25 crore in pockets, Badhaai Ho keeps soaring high at BO

Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra’s latest film Badhaai Ho, helmed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, has struck gold at the box-office. Made on a shoestring budget of ₹ 22 crore, including P&A, the family drama raked in ₹ 84.25 crore by the end of its second weekend.

Badhaai Ho rocked up ₹ 3.40 crore on its second Friday, followed by ₹ 6.60 crore on Saturday, and a whopping ₹ Rs 8.15 crore on Sunday, taking its weekend total to ₹ 18.15 crore, which is commendable for a film made on tight investments. After posting a total of ₹ 84.25 crore by the end of its second weekend, the movie is now gearing up fast to enter the coveted club of ₹ 100 crore.


The film is expected to pull in ₹ 100 crore even before entering the third weekend. After clocking ₹ 100 crore, Badhaai Ho will become actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s first film in the much sought-after club. It is his fourth consecutive success after Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017) and Andhadhun (2018).

Badhaai Ho had released alongside the Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor starrer Namaste England on 18th October. While the former has hit the jackpot at the ticket window, the latter could not scare up any moolah at the cash counter and has been ousted from all theatres across India.

Besides Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra, Badhaai Ho also stars Neena Gupta, Surekha Sikri and Gajraj Rao in prominent roles.

Jewel Thief leaves critics underwhelmed by its predictable plot and uninspired direction

‘Jewel Thief’ review: Critics call it a predictable heist film with uninspired direction

The much-anticipated heist film Jewel Thief promised a thrilling ride with high-stakes action and suspense. However, early reviews suggest that the film falls short of expectations, leaving viewers underwhelmed by its predictable plot and lacklustre execution.

The premise of Jewel Thief centres around a master thief who is forced by a menacing antagonist to steal a rare diamond. Critics, however, note that while the plot has the potential to be gripping, the execution doesn’t quite live up to the hype. The film is described as a "predictable heist" where the twists are "painfully obvious" from the start, offering little in terms of suspense or surprise. The film’s plot quickly devolves into a familiar, formulaic chase that never quite finds its footing.

A final chapter full of twists, turns, and the inevitable end of Joe Goldberg’s story

'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.
