Entertainment Published on :  25 Dec 2025, 10:49 am Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri(2 / 5) Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Review: Malala Yousufzai might have braved the Taliban but I am sure she didn’t foresee a Kartik Aaryan. At a point in the tongue-twisty-titled rom-com Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, Kartik’s Ray describes the width of his dating pool. “Malaika (Arora), Malala, Uorfi (Javed) or Kamala (Harris), nobody can say no to this momma’s boy,” he says while showcasing his six-pack abs and chiselled shoulder blades, as if he is auditioning for a whey protein commercial. If ever, in some parallel universe, there is a meet-cute between Malala and Ray on an exotic vacation, I don’t know how it will progress. Will he, in a lame-attempt at humour, call her ‘Maal La La’? Will he try to mansplain her the benefits of a burkini? Cast: Kartik Aaryan, Ananya Panday, Jackie Shroff and Neena Gupta Directed by: Sameer Vidwans Rating: 2 stars If annoying was Ray’s character brief, Kartik plays it with perfection. Boy meets girl at the airport. Boy is Ray Mehra (Kartik), a rich, ripped wedding planner from the US whose travel personality is that of a pestering button-pusher. Girl is Rumi (Ananya Panday), a Hallmark-heroine whose idea of love hasn’t evolved beyond 90s Bollywood. She is an author with a book titled, ‘Love in Agra’ (She also owns a café called ‘Love Story’). It’s safe to assume she is a hopeless romantic. Ray gets on Rumi’s, and the viewer’s, nerves from the get-go. The duo is travelling to Croatia for a ‘Yacht week’ and to not offend the genre gods of rom-com, Ray will get the seat next to Rumi on the flight. They will also have to share the last available cabin on a yacht. You get the gist. Ray’s dating strategy seems to be annoying a girl to the maximum limit, so that anything remotely pleasant he does afterward can be hailed as a he-is-a-good-guy-afterall cutesy gesture. But, as it always happens, two songs down and Rumi and Ray have fallen in love. Rumi, however, urges to call it quits since she can’t move with Ray to the US and in the process abandon her ex-Army officer father (Jackie Shroff), who is too attached to his motherland. Ray, who can’t wrap his head around no as an answer, thus lands in India to woo her back. Tu Meri Main Tera… is essentially reheated DDLJ for the reel-swiping generation. The writing is so social-media coded for “youth-connect” that it feels corny and derivative. There are mentions of ‘pasandida aurat’, the TV show Friends, the long wait for season 5 of Stranger Things and an abysmal line which translates to “In between talks, you are sliding in the DMs of my eyes.” The film is riddled with references to 90s Bollywood flicks, there is another done-to-death rendition of the ‘palat’ scene from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), a 2025 take on the Medley Song from Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002) and a ‘Saat Samundar’ low-fi version which should be labelled as a blasphemy. The Sameer Vidwans directorial from the house of Dharma has a warped sense of what clicks with the Gen Z. In a scene, Rumi, who professes the need for a “90s love story in a 2025 hookup culture”, passionately kisses Ray when he says (lies) that he is actually married. As a protagonist, a hero, Ray is impossible to bear. He is a classic red-flag who can’t help but give his opinion on everything, prides himself for being a ‘Momma’s boy’ and confuses narcissism as just a case of ‘I am sexy and I know it’. It would have helped if there was some convincing redemption to his arc but all he seems to be is an entitled man camouflaging as a new-age progressive. There is, however, some uptick in the second half when the action shifts to India. Jackie Shroff and Neena Gupta, as Ray’s ‘not a regular but cool mom’ Pinky, are enjoyable. From being a vacation romance the film devolves into a family melodrama with conflicts that seem forced. Tu Meri Main Tera… feels like a glossy, shiny Christmas present which is opened to reveal mere confetti. Or as Rumi perfectly describes Ray: nothing more than laughing gas. Read More

Entertainment Avengers star Robert Downey Jr (L), Dune star Timothee Chalamet Updated on :  25 Dec 2025, 10:20 am Remember the ‘Barbenheimer’ hashtags that turned into a massive cultural phenomenon as Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer faced off at the box office in 2023 and at the awards season last year? While things are yet to reach that level of frenzy, the fact that Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three are slated to release on the same day, December 18, 2026, in theatres, has caused a similar cultural trend. Following the revelation by journalists Jeff Sneider and Matt Belloni that Warner Bros is not moving Dune: Part Three‘s release date, the internet has been abuzz about the imminent box office battle between the two films. As the films are expected to cater to different sensibilities, with one being a superhero adventure and the other a science-fiction film, netizens are describing their box office battle as ‘Dunesday’. This has especially been the case after actor Simu Liu, who reprises his titular role from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in Avengers: Doomsday, tweeted “Prepare for DUNESDAY”. As reported earlier, the Russo Brothers’ film Avengers: Doomsday is set to bring back Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom and Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. The teaser for the film was leaked online before Marvel Entertainment made it official the other day. It shows Rogers holding a baby, hinting at his life as a family man after passing on the baton of being Captain America to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). According to leaked screenshots from another Avengers: Doomsday teaser, Hayley Atwell is also set to reprise her role as Peggy Carter in the film, hinting at a different timeline for our beloved captain and his former love interest. Meanwhile, netizens speculate about the return of Chris Hemsworth as Thor as well. On the other hand, Denis Villeneuve’s third part in the epic Dune saga, an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel Dune: Messiah, is in post-production. Read More

Entertainment Sandeep Reddy Vanga (R), Prabhas Updated on :  25 Dec 2025, 7:42 am Christmas Day marks Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s birthday, and many public figures, including his Spirit star Prabhas, wished the filmmaker on the special occasion. Sharing a photograph of the Animal filmmaker on his Instagram Stories, Prabhas wrote, “Happy birthday bro… Can’t wait for everyone to witness what you’re creating.” Speaking of Prabhas, the filmmaker once turned down the actor’s proposition for remaking a Hollywood film. Speaking to Galatta Plus, Sandeep said that he received an offer for a film, starring Prabhas, before Animal‘s release, although it did not materialise. Sandeep revealed that he told Prabhas that he would let him know if an original idea came to the filmmaker’s mind. Then, Sandeep revealed that Prabhas suggested a Hollywood remake to him, but he turned it down. “It is not working for me, the Hollywood remake,” Sandeep said before revealing that he felt that an original film would be great for Prabhas. While Prabhas earned plenty of appreciation and tasted commercial success with a Telugu remake of Billa, his big-ticket actioner Saaho did not fare well at the box office. After Saaho, he has focused on films with more rooted stories, such as Adipurush, Salaar, and Kalki 2898 AD. Spirit marks the first collaboration between Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film made headlines after Deepika Padukone’s exit from it, reportedly due to a conflict with her work schedule demands. Subsequently, Triptii Dimri replaced Deepika in the film as its female lead. Production on the film, also starring Prakash Raj and Vivek Oberoi, is underway. Interestingly, it stars Prabhas in the role of a rogue officer who has a single bad habit. Besides, Prabhas’ upcoming films include The Raja Saab, Fauzi, and a sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. Read More

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has been constantly making headlines for how the advance bookings started off disappointingly low and then saw a sudden spike ahead of the release date. The movie is now in theatres and the same trend follows the Box Office as well. The movie has earned in lakhs and not even touched Rs. 1 crore in the morning shows.
