Starring Saqib Saleem, Aahana Kumra, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Ravi Kishan in principal roles, Rangbaaz turned out to be a runaway success for leading OTT platform ZEE5 upon its premiere on 22 December 2018.

After garnering widespread critical acclaim and commercial success for the first season of the crime thriller series, ZEE5 has now announced a new season of Rangbaaz which will have an entirely new storyline and cast. The makers have roped in Jimmy Sheirgill and Gul Panag to front the cast of the second season titled Rangbaaz Phirse.

Inspired by true events, Rangbaaz Phirse revolves around a young man who falls through the cracks because of politics and is robbed of his youth which subsequently ruins his life. The series tells the story of a misguided manipulative youth.

Rangbaaz Phirse will start streaming on ZEE5 on 20th December, almost a year after the first season took the entire nation by its grip. Aside from announcing the premiere date of the season two, the makers have also unveiled the first poster of the series.

In the first poster released by the makers, one can see a gangster’s pipe gun, bullets and a cowboy hat. If the first poster of Rangbaaz Phirse is anything to go by, the series is going to be a gripping watch for the audience.

Rangbaaz Phirse spreads across nine episodes. It is a fast-paced crime thriller that focuses on caste supremacy and political rivalry of a gangster. Apart from Jimmy Sheirgill and Gul Panag, the second season also features Zeeshan Ayyub, Sharad Kelkar, Spruha Joshi, Harsh Chhaya and Sushant Singh on its cast.

Rangbaaz Phirse has been written by screenwriter Siddharth Mishra, who also wrote Season 1. The series has been directed by Sachin Pathak for JAR Productions. It is scheduled to premiere on 20th December only on ZEE5.

Beyoncé kicks off Cowboy Carter tour in rainy London with surprise family moment and golden bull spectacle

Beyoncé brought her Cowboy Carter tour to London this week, kicking off the European leg with a wild and unforgettable night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Despite steady rain and grey skies, fans showed up in full force, dressed in cowboy boots, denim, fringe, and rhinestones, turning the downpour into what many cheekily called a "rain-aissance."


Dancing through the downpour

Beyoncé, wearing a sparkling American flag, inspired jumpsuit, did not miss a beat. “The rain feels so good!” she shouted, flashing a grin, as cheers erupted from the crowd.

Some fans had flown in from as far as Mexico and Israel, proving Beyoncé’s global pull. For many, it was not just a concert. In fact, it was a chance to witness a once-in-a-lifetime tour.

Big moments and an even bigger meaning

The nearly three-hour show delivered one jaw-dropping moment after another. Beyoncé rode a golden mechanical bull during Tyrant and later glided above the audience in a floating horseshoe while performing Jolene. The production was slick and true to Beyoncé’s unmatched sense of showmanship.

But beyond the dazzling visuals, the performance had a strong emotional core. One of the most touching highlights came when Beyoncé brought her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi, on stage during Protector.

A tribute to heritage and legacy

The Cowboy Carter tour goes beyond glitz. With this album, Beyoncé reclaims the often-overlooked legacy of Black musicians in country music. Throughout the show, she acknowledged these roots, weaving in powerful tributes and subtle nods to history and resilience.

Some ticket drama but no regrets

Some fans grumbled about ticket prices, especially after seeing last-minute price cuts. Tickets initially sold for up to £950 (₹99,500) but later dropped to £141 (₹14,800) for similar seats.

But as the final notes of 16 Carriages rang out, none of that seemed to matter. Beyoncé had given them something unforgettable: a stormy, sparkling night with a star who still knows how to surprise.

Bollywood superstition with numerology fails to save films from flop fate

Whether it is dud decisions, awful acting, nepotism, terrible writing, sloppy direction, an actor in his late 50s playing a hero in his 20s, or misguided marketing, there is a lot that can be logically blamed for a Bollywood film flopping.

But in Hindi cinema – where logic is often missing – many in the industry still believe the spelling of titles and star names can determine a film’s fate. Yes, you read that correctly. They think a few extra letters can magically make all the difference.

Humayun Saeed opens up on 'Love Guru' and Pakistani cinema’s success

From commanding television screens in powerful dramas to headlining box office hits, the acclaimed actor and producer has built a formidable reputation through instinct, charm, and a commitment to relatable storytelling. Along the way, he has picked up numerous awards, loyal audiences across the globe, and even crossed into international territory with his nuanced portrayal of Dr Hasnat Khan – Princess Diana’s real-life love interest – in the globally acclaimed Netflix series The Crown.

Now, Saeed returns to the big screen with this week’s Eid al-Adha release Love Guru. The romantic comedy, opposite Mahira Khan, features him as a matchmaker-turned-marriage-saboteur on a surprisingly unorthodox mission of love. Extensively shot in the UK and laced with a contemporary sensibility, the Nadeem Baig-directed comedy marks a distinct tonal shift for an actor best known for culturally rooted blockbusters.
