Entertainment Mohit Chauhan tripped during one of his concerts. Read ahead to know more about it. Singer Mohit Chauhan took the stage at AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) Bhopal to perform some of his popular songs like Sadda Haq, Tum Se Hi, Abhi Kuch Dino Se, Tujhe Bhula Diya, Ilahi, among others. Multiple clips from the event are spreading across social media, with one depicting Mohit stumbling and falling on stage during his performance, which left the audience stunned and worried about his safety. Entertainment More about the video In the video, Mohit was shown singing Nadaan Parinde from Rockstar. As he was going towards the stage lights to connect better with the audience, he accidentally stumbled over a light and lost his balance. Concert organizers and medical personnel quickly hurried to help him, which caused the performance to be paused briefly to guarantee his safety. At AIIMS, doctors promptly cared for him. Mohit Chauhan has not released a comment about the incident yet. Entertainment Mohit Chauhan on AI in music In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Mohit Chauhan expressed his thoughts on artificial intelligence (AI) in music, noting that the current remix culture is influenced more by commercial interests than by creative purpose. . “Mujhe lagta hai ki woh khaali business ke liye kiya jaata hai. Nahi toh ek gaane ko remake karne ka reason kya hai? Kuch bhi nahi hai. Ab main ek gaane ko baar-baar… usme drum beat nikal doon, phir usme shehnai daal doon- gaana toh wahi hai. Uska original form hi best rehta hai.” He also mentioned that altering the lyrics would make it feel different to the audience, and they might not connect with it anymore. Although certain individuals might wish to feature the song in a movie or an anthology, that adheres to a different business approach. Nonetheless, the track is unique, and after its launch, there’s no requirement for a remake. Alternatively, one can concentrate on composing a new song. Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates.

Mir Yar Baloch claimed that the ‘patriotic’ people of Balochistan were not represented in the movie accurately and criticized Dhurandhar and said that the movie portrayed relationships between India and Balochistan in a negative light and focused more on the “gangsters.” The representative claimed that it did not focus appropriately on the patriotic people of Balochistan and the cause they had. Entertainment What was Mir Yar’s tweet about? Mir Yar Baloch shared a clip of the film where Arjun Rampal and Akshaye Khanna’s characters were shown to be celebrating after seeing the 26/11 attacks on the television. On Sunday, December 7. Mir Yar shared that the Baloch people never celebrated 26/11, as they are victims of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism as well. He also mentioned that Balochistan was never represented by gangsters, and people fighting for freedom never shared this sentiment. The tweet said, “Baloch are not religiously motivated, and they never chant the Islamic slogan ‘Allah O Akbar’ and never ever collaborated with ISI to harm Indian interests. The movie also did not do justice to Balochistan freedom fighters by showing them as if they had sold their weapons to anti-India elements.” Dhurandar movie, disappointed Balochistan’s patriotic people. Unfortunately the movie portrayed the BALOCHISTAN and INDIA relations in a negative way, focused more on gangsters than the patriotic Baloch masses and their cause. * Balochistan is not represented by a gangster and… pic.twitter.com/NyOtngzp6T — Mir Yar Baloch (@miryar_baloch) December 7, 2025 Entertainment ‘Baloch Freedom fighters are always in shortage of…’ The post continued, talking about how the film portrayed Balochistan’s freedom fighters in the wrong light by making it seem like they sold weapons to anti-Indian elements. It said, “Baloch Freedom fighters are always in shortage of weapons otherwise they would have defeated the occupational forces of Pakistan long ago. If Baloch gangsters had had enough money to print fake currency, there would have not been any poverty in Balochistan. It is the ISI who do all the evil jobs of smuggling drugs, fake currency, and weapons.” Entertainment We don’t agree with… It also stated, “We don’t agree with the sentence by police SP Chaudhary Aslam. “MagarMach Pe Bhrosa Kar Sakte Hain Baloch Pe Nahi” is totally against our code of conduct, ethics, and culture because it is famous in Baloch culture that “Ek Glass Paani Ki Qeemat 100 Saal Wafa.” Baloch, if given 1 glass of water or helped, they never betray their friends/well-wishers.” Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates.

Entertainment Home News and Gossip Chaudhary Aslam’s wife CRITICISES Dhurandhar for misrepresenting Pakistani officer: ‘If I see my… Even though Dhurandhar is grabbing attention for its powerful characters, it appears that the late Pakistani cop Chaudhary Aslam’s wife is unhappy with the way her husband has been portrayed in the film. Read on to know. Dhurandhar was released on December 5, 2025, and also stars Ranveer Singh, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Akshaye Khanna. Dhurandhar is currently in the news. It is said to be based on terrorism and gang warfare in Pakistan. Many of the characters in the film are inspired by real people. One of these characters is that of a famous Pakistani police officer, Chaudhry Aslam Khan, played by actor Sanjay Dutt. However, a new controversy has now arisen regarding this film. Chaudhry Aslam’s wife, Noreen, has accused the film of portraying her husband in a negative light. Entertainment Chaudhary Aslam’s wife criticises Dhurandhar Noreen recently appeared on a Pakistani podcast, where she expressed her displeasure with the film. She explained that her husband was a huge fan of Sanjay Dutt and hoped that Sanjay would do justice to his character. However, she was deeply hurt by the use of words like “son of the devil” and “jinn” for Aslam in the film’s trailer. Noreen stated that she is Muslim and such words are insulting not only to her husband but also to her mother-in-law. Noreen stated clearly that if her husband is portrayed in a negative light or his image is tarnished in the film, she will definitely take legal action. She said, “We are Muslims, and such words are disrespectful not only to Aslam but his mother, who was a simple, honest woman. If I see my husband being portrayed wrongly or any propaganda against him in the film, I will definitely take all the legal steps I can. It is strange that Indian filmmakers find no other subjects but to malign Pakistan.” Entertainment Who is Chaudhary Aslam Khan? Chaudhary Aslam Khan was born in 1963. He joined the police service in the 1980s. After 2000, he was assigned to the anti-gang operation in Karachi’s Lyari area. He eliminated many dangerous criminals. He survived a Taliban attack in 2011, but was killed in a bomb blast by the TTP in 2014. Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates. Subscribe to Our Newsletter Today! Read More

Entertainment The box office juggernaut Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Dutt, faces fresh backlash from the family of real-life cop Chaudhary Aslam, whom Dutt portrays in the Aditya Dhar directorial inspired by Operation Lyari. Aslam’s widow, Noreen Chaudhary, voiced strong objections on a Dialogue Pakistan podcast, criticizing a trailer line where a character calls her late husband “the offspring of the devil and a jinn,” deeming it disrespectful to their Muslim faith and Aslam’s honest mother. Chaudhary Aslam’s widow SLAMS Dhurandhar trailer dialogue for Sanjay Dutt’s character: “If I see my husband being portrayed wrongly…” Noreen, who noted Aslam’s fandom of Dutt since Khalnayak, warned of legal steps if the film maligns him or pushes anti-Pakistan propaganda, stating Indian filmmakers often lack diverse subjects. Noreen said, “We are Muslims, and such words are disrespectful not only to Aslam but his mother, who was a simple, honest woman. If I see my husband being portrayed wrongly or any propaganda against him in the film, I will definitely take all the legal steps I can. It is strange that Indian filmmakers find no other subjects but to malign Pakistan.” Chaudhary Aslam rose through Sindh Police from ASI in the 1980s to lead the Lyari Task Force in the 2000s, pivotal in eliminating gangsters like Rehman Dakait during Karachi’s infamous crackdown. The film’s ensemble, including Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, had already stirred controversy pre-release when Major Mohit Sharma’s parents sought a Delhi High Court stay, alleging unauthorized use of their Ashoka Chakra awardee son’s story; the court on December 1, 2025, directed the CBFC to address objections, allowing the release. Despite the uproar, Dhurandhar has roared to commercial success, storming overseas markets with a staggering $3.83 million opening weekend, marking the third-biggest Bollywood opener of 2025.

Entertainment Last week’s big release, Dhurandhar, has managed to put up big numbers over the weekend due to a strong word of mouth. The film is going rock-steady on Monday, which is a good sign, as it proves that it’ll continue to perform over the next couple of weeks. Taking this factor into account, trade sources have told Bollywood Hungama that the makers and distributors of the Ranveer Singh-starrer have decided not to sell tickets at a discounted rate on Tuesday, December 9. EXCLUSIVE: Dhurandhar follows into the footsteps of Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par; distributor requests cinemas to avoid Tuesday Rs. 99 offer for Ranveer Singh-starrer and to continue with popular pricing in the weekdays A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Since April, it has been the norm for cinemas to sell tickets for Rs. 99, Rs. 149, or Rs. 199 on Tuesday. The scheme has worked big time and it’s common to see house-full shows across theatres every Tuesday. But in the case of Dhurandhar, an exception has been made. The makers feel that there’s a tremendous demand to catch the action entertainer on the big screen. As a result, they don’t feel a reason to bring down the rate for a day in weekdays. They are confident that this would not affect the footfall or earnings in any way.” The source continued, “The distribution team could sense on Sunday itself that the film had caught on big time. Hence, many cinemas opened the advance ticket sales for Tuesday on Sunday itself with popular weekday rates, sans any discount.” The history of the Tuesday offer The discounted Tuesday offer began on April 22, 2025, and Kesari Chapter 2 was the first new release to take advantage of it. In these 7 ½ months, only two biggies until now have avoided the Tuesday offer in Week 1, just like Dhurandhar – Raid 2 and Sitaare Zameen Par. Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat had a release on Tuesday to coincide with Diwali festivities, and they too didn’t opt for the offer, for obvious reasons. All other biggies since April like Housefull 5, War 2, Saiyaara, Mahavatar Narsimha, Kantara: A Legend Chapter – 1, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, etc. decided to sell tickets at a discount every Tuesday. Films like Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha were overperforming and yet, its makers opted for the offer. Recently, the distributors of the miraculous Gujarati blockbuster Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate asked cinemas not to sell tickets for Rs. 99 and instead, keep the minimum price at Rs. 149. This was done in Week 5, when the film caught on big time.

Entertainment After Sikandar, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been working hard on his next, Battle of Galwan. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the war drama is based on a chapter from the book India’s Most Fearless 3. While Salman’s character poster has been revealed, the first look of Battle of Galwan isn’t out yet. According to a media report, multiple departments of the Battle of Galwan are working simultaneously to complete the first promotional asset of the film. Salman Khan starter Battle of Galwan first look to be unveiled on his birthday: Report As per Mid-Day report, Apoorva Lakhia’s Battle of Galwan is currently in its post-production stage. Based on the Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers, the film is likely to feature Salman as Colonel B Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar regiment. A source close to the film further spilled beans about Battle of Galwan’s first look. “Though it’s a war drama, the first look won’t be cut as an action-driven piece. It will be more about positioning the world and introducing the film’s visual language,” the source said. Earlier, in an interview with PTI, Salman opened up about his prep for Battle of Galwan. He told the news agency, “It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I’ve to give more time now. Earlier, I would do it in one or two weeks; now I’m running, kicking, punching, and all that stuff. This film demands that.” Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman recently completed shooting for Bigg Boss 19. He hosted the reality show for four months. Gaurav Khanna emerged as the winner of the reality show while Farrhana Bhatt became the first runner-up. On the other hand, Pranit More secured third position.

Entertainment The Mumbai psychedelic/sludge act’s core songwriters Karan Kaul and Aditya Mohanan discuss opening for Bloodywood in France and why Desertfest 2026 in London is a bucket list item Mumbai psychedelic/sludge band Midhaven. Photo: Mourya Dandu Back in 2019, the mythology-inspired minds of Midhaven’s Karan Kaul and Aditya Mohanan were writing a song on demigods or asuras. Mohanan says over a Zoom call, “[We wanted] to write something heavy, something todfod (destructive) for that theme, but then we thought, what does that sound like?” Their drummer Aviraj Kumar then suggested something unorthodox but not unheard of for a guitarist like Mohanan. “Avi said, ‘Why don’t you do one of these things where you just spin a riff on a raga?’ I’m like, ‘Dude, it doesn’t work like that.’ And then I did think about it,” Mohanan says with a laugh. It led to him writing guitar parts of their new song “The Veiler” in raga Todi and became the Mumbai psychedelic/sludge metal band’s heaviest song, recalling the likes of American metal bands like Mastodon. It helped that Kaul — who founded the band in 2011 — was working on a bluesy riff that Mohanan noticed could be “tweaked by one note” to be in raga Todi. While Mohanan has written on raga Bhairav on their track “Bhairav,” off their 2021 album Of The Lotus & The Thunderbolt, this was different. “I was summoning it [raga] actively. It’s a very tense, very dark, ominous… a very anxious raga. So I wanted to take that sound, because if that’s not metal, then what is?” he muses. Produced by Apurv Agarwal, “The Veiler” is a rattling track that keeps all the signature dissonance and melody of Midhaven’s songwriting intact, but takes things up a notch. They’ve delivered ploughing riffs in the past, but “The Veiler” oscillates between heavy, meditative and even accessible in a way they’ve never done before. It comes at a time when Midhaven have bid goodbye to longtime drummer Aviraj Kumar, with Aryaman Chatterji (from doom band Dirge) taking over, alongside bassist Akash Vyas. At the same time, Midhaven are pushing for international recognition. After supporting folk-metal exports Bloodywood on their France dates (including famed venue the Bataclan) on the Return of the Singh tour earlier this year, Midhaven are in Japan for a five-date tour this week, which culminates with a standalone show in Tokyo on Dec. 9, 2025. At four shows, they’re supporting tech-death masters Origin as well as grind act Defleshed, making for a diverse show lineup. The catalyst for performing abroad for Midhaven has been the Bloodywood shows, which may not have made financial sense (flying to France for three shows on their own dime) but remained fulfilling. Kaul says, “Getting the opportunity to play with Bloodywood was a huge one for us or any underground, but there are so many things we took away from those shows. We really came back wanting to do more with the act itself.” Mohanan adds, “From day one, I think the context was set before I joined the band that this is going to be an international thing. That’s how Karan invited me, and that’s why I walked in, also, because it sounded very tantalizing.” Kaul regards touring overseas as “the only frontier” for Indian metal bands who want a sizeable audience. “And then you come back and play your country as much as you can,” he adds. Midhaven looked eastwards after a friend of Mohanan recommended it, and later, so did Bloodywood vocalist Jayant Bhadula. “We were hanging out after our show in Lille, and Jayant was asking what’s next, and I didn’t know what to say. He said, ‘Just do Japan. Try to build a following there, because those guys are loyal and they buy merch like it’s hotcakes.’ So it’s a great market,” Mohanan says. Artwork for Midhaven’s new single “The Veiler” by Acid Toad aka Gaurav Basu There’s also the trip in May 2026 to play at Desertfest in London, a mainstay for heavy music in Europe that has the likes of Clutch on the lineup in the forthcoming edition. It’s a full-circle moment, because Mohanan had attended Desertfest about seven years ago and FaceTimed Kaul to rave about it. Kaul says, “I was on my way back home from recording guitars for the last album, so I was in a great mood. Aditya said it was the best festival ever and said we should play here. He said, ‘This is going to be home for us.’” I think that it’s the one festival we’ve been looking forward to for a while, and really excited to play that.” Mohanan, for his part, owns up that he’s currently at a loss of words to accurately sum up his feelings about playing Desertfest. “It’s ineffable,” he says. There will be more U.K. and Europe dates to be announced around Midhaven’s Desertfest appearance in mid-2026, as well as a new song early next year. “We have hopes for an EP in the third quarter of next year, but that remains to be seen,” Mohanan says.
