Entertainment Anurag Kashyap’s globally acclaimed neo-noir thriller Kennedy has achieved another significant milestone, becoming the only Indian film selected for the inaugural lineup of Letterboxd’s first-ever Video Store. The development marks a major moment for Indian cinema, as the film joins a carefully curated list of international titles on the global film discovery platform. Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy becomes ONLY Indian film selected for Letterboxd Video Store: “Finally the film will be available for the general audience” Letterboxd will officially launch its online rental platform, Video Store, on December 10. The service will offer a selection of acclaimed films, including festival favourites and Academy Award submissions that have largely remained inaccessible to wider audiences. Available across 23 countries at launch, the platform follows a transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) model, allowing viewers to rent films without a subscription. Among the nine hand-picked titles featured in the debut lineup is Kennedy, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023 and quickly became one of the most talked-about Indian films on the international circuit. Reacting to the news, Anurag Kashyap said, “I am happy that finally the film will be available for the general audience to watch in some parts of the world. It’s one of my most personal films and would love to get the audience feedback and reaction, and I am thankful to Letterboxd for putting it on their new platform. And I am, hopeful that we’ll soon be able to release it in India too as the producers are working on it.” Starring Rahul Bhatt and Sunny Leone, Kennedy is produced by Ranjan Singh, Good Bad Films, and Zee Studios. Shot predominantly at night across Mumbai over an intense 30-day schedule, the film follows an insomniac former cop, presumed dead, who continues to operate within a corrupt system while searching for personal redemption. Its moody visual palette and uncompromising narrative have earned it widespread critical attention. Producer Ranjan Singh described the inclusion in Letterboxd’s Video Store as a momentous milestone for the team. He noted, “Yes, it’s a great moment that after traveling to almost 30 festivals across the world, the film will be available to cinephiles in these countries and we are extremely proud as the only Indian film in this line-up. We want to thank Letterboxd for choosing Kennedy and our studio partners Zee Studios for the support that they’ve given to make this possible. We are working together on the India release of the film soon.” Umesh Bansal, Chief Business Officer at Zee Studios, echoed the sentiment, stating, “Extremely elated to see Kennedy being talked about very highly in the Overseas market. This is a film, which we are truly proud of. We thank Letterboxd for this opportunity & are awaiting to see the audiences’ response.” Sophie Shi, Head of Studios at EST N8, which facilitated the release, said, “We’re proud to help bring Kennedy to audiences through Letterboxd’s first-ever Video Store. EST N8 is committed to elevating bold Asian storytelling globally, and Kennedy embodies that mission. We’re thrilled to see Anurag Kashyap’s powerful film reach even more cinephiles.” Following its Cannes premiere, Kennedy went on to screen at several major festivals, including the Sydney International Film Festival, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival, MOTELX in Lisbon, Indie Meme Film Festival in Austin, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, London Indian Film Festival, Fantastic Fest in the US, Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, and the Kolkata International Film Festival, among others.

The fans are just as obsessed with and excited about their favorite contestants as they were when the show was going on. Recently, one of the top 5 finalists of the show, Tanya Mittal, had a candid conversation with Telly Talk India, where she talked about her journey on Bigg Boss 19. She made various statements on Malti Chahar, as well as Ashnoor Kaur. She also clarified the moment when she was alleged to have kissed Amaal Mallik’s photo during one of the tasks.

To that she explained that with her nature, she wants a family and kids. She explained that even when she applies mehndi, she jokes about getting it on camera to show it to her “mother-in-law.” She mentioned that it has been a long time since anyone fought for her. Tanya also explained her family dynamics, talking about how she is scared of her parents, and she can’t even tell them that a person has mistreated her. Entertainment Tanya Mittal on Ashnoor Kaur and Malti Chahar She explained that Ashnoor did all of this, and Malti did it too, even telling her own brother.

Since she didn’t love him, she said there was no reason she would do any of that. Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates. Subscribe to Our Newsletter Today! Read More

Entertainment Home Bigg Boss Anupamaa’s Nidhi Shah reacts to affair claims with co-star Gaurav Khanna; actress says ‘you know… Nidhi Shah recently responded to the speculation of her affair with her Anupamaa co-star Gaurav Khanna. The actress, in a quirky comment to an online user’s claim on Instagram, shared her views on the ongoing rumours. Nidhi Shah, who got humongous popularity for her role as Kinjal Shah in Anupamaa, has recently been making headlines for her personal life. The actress is in the news after a social media user claimed that she had an affair with her Anupamaa co-star Gaurav Khanna. The actor, often called a ‘green flag’ by his fans online, is married to Akanksha Chamola. While he is yet to react to the rumours, his Anupamaa co-star Nidhi was quick to respond to the ongoing speculations in a quirky way. Here is what happened. Entertainment Nidhi Shah On Claims Of Having An Affair With Gaurav Khanna Recently, some eagle-eyed fans noticed that Nidhi liked an Instagram post that mocked Gaurav Khanna’s Bigg Boss win, claiming he didn’t deserve the trophy. Some fans flooded the comment section with assumptions about their past association with the show. Among them, one user mentioned, “They’ve had an affair during Anupamaa.” Reacting to the speculations, Nidhi replied, “Ya you know better,” with laughing emojis. While she clearly denied the relationship rumours, Gaurav is yet to respond to the speculations. On the other hand, Gaurav Khanna was recently asked about the criticism around his Bigg Boss win. In an interview with Free Press Journal, the actor said, “I just want to say one thing to them that I was not there to please 15 people inside. I was there to please 150 crore people watching me, and somewhere I have made some mark, I have touched their hearts somewhere, and that’s why they have voted for me. And they have voted for me consistently because these guys, these 15 chaps inside, were nominating me every week.” He further said, “So they were trying to push me out, but because of you (audience) guys, I was standing in front of them like a rock, and I was standing in a completely dignified manner. I didn’t say anything bad to anyone, I didn’t get into unnecessary topics, I didn’t create unnecessary topics, I didn’t break plates, I didn’t wear jewellery, I didn’t wear designer clothes, I was very normal. I think in a show like this, people want to see normal people, and when they see that a person is normal or is trying to be normal, then they connect with you. Dil jeete hai isliye show jeeta hoon!” Meanwhile, Farhana Bhatt was the first runner-up of Bigg Boss 19, while Pranit More was declared second runner-up. Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates.

Entertainment Sachet-Parampara took to their Instagram to demand a public apology from Amaal Mallik. Read ahead to know more about it. The famous musical duo Sachet-Parampara have started a huge wave of debate online after they “exposed” Bigg Boss 19 contestant Amaal Mallik. They have accused Amaal of sharing “false and baseless” statements over their hit song from 2019, Bekhayali. For the unversed, Bekhayali is a beloved song from the blockbuster film Kabir Singh. The duo, well known for their songs like Har Har Mahadev and Maiyya Mainu, shared a video on Instagram and wrote in the caption, “Warning. This video could have been a 10-second proof to shut down all rumors, but exposing some people became important for our mental peace. @amaal_mallik SHAME ON YOU, AMAAL MALIK.” Entertainment What did they say in the video? They started the video by saying, “Hello everyone, our names are Sachet and Parampara, and we’re here to discuss something that has grown quite serious. This concerns Mr. Amaal Mallik. Actually, we never expected to have to clarify all of this, but it is something we made entirely. We’re talking about Bekhayali, which Amaal Mallik claims he created some time ago.” The duo explained that their composition was “entirely original” and was in fact made with collaborative sessions that included Shahid Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Entertainment Was there favouritism at play? They continued to dismiss the claim that industry favoritism might have been a factor. They explained that they had no prior connection to T-Series before Kabir Singh, but Amaal had been working with the company since 2015. Then they responded to Amaal’s claim that someone had shared his song with them over WhatsApp. They questioned why anyone would do any favors for industry “outsiders.” They shared screenshots of Amaal complimenting them for their work and even explained that they did not even have his number at first. They explained that Amaal was the one who reached out to them. Entertainment What do the netizens think? The netizens were pretty divided on the issue. Some users sided with the musical duo, with one person saying, “I haven’t followed him till date ?. And yes, I love your music, Sachet-Parampara ❤️, and I really appreciate the efforts you both put into each song ?.” Lots of love and respect to you both. ? I am a huge fan of yours ❤️.” However, some people also showed their support for Amaal, saying, “Sachet-Parampara allegedly copied a track by Rajarshi Mitter—a rising guitarist who’s performed with big names like Sonu Nigam. Not sure if he ever got justice, but more people need to know this.” And “If I hadn’t seen Amal in Bigg Boss, then I would believe you. But sorry, bro, after watching Amal in BB. I trust Amal…because we know how kind he is towards others’ work.” Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates. Subscribe to Our Newsletter Today! Read More

Entertainment Updated on :  10 Dec 2025, 4:59 pm After winning hearts with Love Mocktail and Love Mocktail 2, Darling Krishna returns as both actor and director to continue his romantic journey with Love Mocktail 3. Produced under the KrissMi Films banner by Krishna and Milana Nagaraj, the franchise has become synonymous with heartfelt storytelling and memorable characters. The first film charmed audiences with its tender portrayal of love, while the second explored the complexities of relationships with its signature warmth. Krishna recalls, “With each film, I wanted to capture emotions that felt real.” In Love Mocktail 3, Krishna shares the screen with Samvrutha, a child artist, in a story that revolves around a father-daughter bond. The first motion poster is set to a soulful track, Neene Neena Nanella Aase, composed and sung by Nakul Abhyankar with lyrics by director Shashank.

Entertainment Published on :  10 Dec 2025, 4:56 pm Dialogue writer Kantharaj SS doesn’t like chasing recognition; he wants to let it arrive quietly, carried by the audience, not by noise but with the words. “With Darshan’s The Devil, I got my payment, my credit, and extreme love from his fans. When my dialogue is printed on the back of an auto, that’s more than enough. For a dialogue writer, the best reward is when a line goes viral.” And one such dialogue doing the rounds is, “Hethavarige hegana muddaadre, naavu aane hethidivi. Garva ede.” This has become the film’s pulse. Shaping the voice of a film built around Darshan’s mass persona and director Prakash Veer’s emotional framework meant walking a precise line. “There is mass, there is the hero’s image, and there is the story’s demand. And when you think of fans, you find space for them too. That balance between fire and restraint is everything,” Kanthraj explains ahead of the film’s release. Interestingly, his entry into the project wasn’t exactly planned. “I had narrated a different script to Prakash, and he had okayed it,” he recalls. “When I called him later, he said, ‘Keep that aside. We have to work on Darshan’s film.’ During that discussion, I began giving dialogues straight from my mind. Prakash liked that spontaneity.” Darshan, he says, was crystal clear about his expectations from day one. “He said none of the dialogues should hurt any other star or their fans. He was very particular about the character and how it should speak. He understands the responsibility of every line.” The Devil marks Kantharaj’s first full-fledged star-driven project after Padavi Poorva, Iravan, and the upcoming Mango Pachcha. With Darshan playing two shades, it pushed the writer into a new zone. “My agenda was simple: don’t disturb the emotion, don’t disturb the image.” He also asserts that fan expectations worked their way into the writing. “I studied where fans usually whistle,” he says, adding, “I kept that in my head while writing. Only a couple of lines evolved during the shoot.” His references oscillated between Darshan’s earlier films, fan culture, and the hero’s journey. Kantharaj, who stayed closely involved during the shoot, says, “I was on set for most of the filming, except for songs and fights.” When asked about what alternate title he’d give The Devil, Kanthraj signs off by saying, “The King.” Read More
