Highlights:

Looks like Rishab Shetty hasn't just made a film; he's bottled some kind of lightning because Kantara Chapter 1 is hitting people right in the gut. You've got viewers stumbling out of theatres looking shell-shocked, a few even copying those wild possession scenes right there in the cinema. And it's not just an Indian thing. The film’s recent UK premiere was met with a thunderous standing ovation, showing this story's pull extends far beyond its home turf. Then the numbers landed, a whopping £6.2 million (₹65 crore) on day one. Seems like the figures are backing up the frenzy.

Taylor Swift’s new album confronts fame’s pressure in 'The Life of a Showgirl' with orange-drenched visuals

Highlights:

  • Swift’s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, released on 3 October 2025
  • Lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” unveiled alongside a global cinema event
  • Sabrina Carpenter features on the shimmering title track
  • Visual campaign drenched in orange, nodding to cabaret history
  • Photographers Mert and Marcus shot the album’s flamboyant artwork

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl is finally here, and it feels less like a simple album drop and more like a deliberately staged spectacle. This new record, landing today, completely abandons the muted tones of The Tortured Poets Department for something far more theatrical. The whole project, conceived during the European tour dates, dives headfirst into the manic energy of performance, using the showgirl motif to ask what it costs to live under stadium lights. It’s a theme echoed in the ambitious, limited-run cinematic event accompanying its release.

Priyanka Chopra declares she will always be an Indian actor despite Hollywood success

Highlights:

  • She shot down the 'global actor' tag with a definitive, almost weary, clarity.
  • Her first major jewellery purchase was a self-funded diamond from an early film pay cheque.
  • She's deep in the trenches of her pirate film The Bluff and the Citadel sequel.
  • The Bulgari partnership works because it, unlike many, shouts out Indian craftsmanship.
  • Despite the Hollywood slate, the SS Rajamouli film in India is absolutely confirmed.

Look, Priyanka Chopra is done explaining herself. On a quick stop in Mumbai, sandwiched between Hollywood schedules and a glittering Bulgari event, someone dared to ask the question again. You know the one. Global or Indian? Her answer wasn't just sharp; it was a sigh of finality. For an Indian actor in Hollywood, the constant need to define her identity is just noise. And she's done listening to it.
