Entertainment Home»News»The Devil trailer X reactions: DBoss is set to make a statement, say his celebrities» ‘I’ll be back’ – that’s the clear indication that Darshan Thoogudeepa has given his celebrities with the trailer of his next, The Devil. “The sun won’t stay eclipsed forever… and neither will I,” he says, which Darshan fans have interpreted as the Kannada superstar’s strong message to all his detractors.

Looks like a Something new character in DBoss Career!!”, “Expecting a racy thriller”, “This is a sure-shot blockbuster”, among others. Netizens are convinced that Darshan has a negative shade in the film, albeit for a particular purpose, with the shots of the red and green pills of great significance to this plot point. The general consensus is that as far as production quality goes, The Devil has aced that department, with every frame looking fantastic. All that is left is for the film to have a decently presentable story and it should have no problem at the box office. The Devil is releasing in theatres on December 11, 2025, a day ahead of the earlier plan.

Gwen Stefani Talks No Doubt’s ‘Really Nostalgic’ Sphere Residency on ‘Fallon’

Entertainment “I think the Sphere is the future,” singer said of Las Vegas venue. “It’s kind of a cross between a concert and a movie” Gwen Stefani during an interview with host Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 Todd Owyoung/NBC Gwen Stefani talked about No Doubt’s upcoming Sphere residency and hoping to make it “really nostalgic” for fans during a visit on Wednesday on The Tonight Show. “We’re excited,” Stefani told Jimmy Fallon. “We did Coachella, and it was so unbelievably amazing, and we’re kinda talking for a while — we do everything slow — but we were talking for years again, trying to find that thing that would be as good, and I think the Sphere is the future, you know what I’m saying? It’s kind of a cross between a concert and a movie.” Stefani then talked about what vibe the band is going for with the Sphere residency. “I think the goal — I mean it instantly sold out; I think we have six more shows left — I want people to come and make it feel really nostalgic, like they’re back in time, like ‘Remember this? Remember this, guys? This is what we did together,’” Stefani said of the fans. “They’re a big part of our lives, and we want to see them in Vegas.” While No Doubt’s Sphere shows won’t take place until May 2026, the band is already deep in the planning stages for the shows due to the sheer amount of preparation required to stage concerts at the Las Vegas venue.  “We got together one time so far at the house, did the setlist. It’s pretty different from a regular show, there’s all these calendar dates, ‘This has to be done,’ because they have to program everything,” Stefani said. “It’s gonna be so awesome.” Stefani and Fallon then talked about Christmas music and the latest reissue of her You Make It Feel Like Christmas, which features two new songs, including “Shake the Snow Globe,” which Stefani later performed on The Tonight Show: From Rolling Stone US.

Guns N’ Roses Polish Off ‘Nothin’’ and ‘Atlas’ From ‘Chinese Democracy’ Sessions

Entertainment New songs, featuring contributions from Slash and Duff McKagan, arrive months ahead of a world tour With a world tour planned for spring, Guns N’ Roses have decided to capitalize on their Chinese Democracy sessions to find two new singles. The band released “Nothin’” and “Atlas,” now both featuring new parts recorded by guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, on Thursday after decades of kicking around in the band’s vault. “Atlas,” a mid-tempo, keening hard rocker, was once known as “Atlas Shrugged,” a nod to Ayn Rand’s controversial novel, according to a 2025 interview with A&R rep Tom Zutaut by Classic Rock. “We were finishing tracks, doing overdubs with [guitarists] Buckethead and Robin Finck and some stuff with [bassist] Tommy Stinson,” he said. “I felt we had a well-finished version of ‘The Blues,’ ‘Madagascar,’ ‘Chinese Democracy.’ ‘Atlas Shrugged’ was pretty good.” The song as it is now is a tight (by GN’R standards) four minutes on which Axl Rose sings, “I’d be the last to say, ‘Don’t, follow your heart’/But there’s more to what it takes to be a man.” Slash’s unmistakable guitar tone snarls around Rose’s voice, and McKagan’s hollow-sounding bass, a hallmark of classic GN’R, rumbles underneath the proceedings; it’s hard to imagine what it would’ve sounded like with the Chinese Democracy-era musicians. The song sounds both like a Chinese Democracy deep cut and a fresh take on the band’s classic sound. “Nothin’,” in some ways feels more like a departure. The track opens with a piano line that sounds like it could have leaked off a Wings album before Slash’s guitar transforms it into GN’R’s recognizable sound. His guitar whines and sighs behind Rose’s voice, as the frontman sings about feeling like he needs to be saved. Slash’s solo halfway through transforms what might have been an R&B-leaning, classic-rock ballad into something more dramatic and special. Both songs came out unceremoniously via a leak of the band’s music in 2019. It contained an early version of “Nothin’,” allegedly recorded around 2000, and “Atlas Shrugged,” ostensibly stems from 2001 sessions. In October, Slash teased the idea of a new GN’R album in a Guitar World interview. “There’s so much material at this point — it’s a matter of having the discipline to sit down and fucking get into it,” he said. “But the thing with Guns is, in my experience, you can never plan ahead. You can never sit down and go, ‘We’re going to take this time, and we’re going to do this.’ Every time we’ve done that, it falls apart.” He added, “It’ll just happen when it happens.” It’s a safe bet to expect these songs on the band’s set lists next year since the group already soundchecked “Nothin’” before a Yokohama, Japan concert in May. The tour kicks off in March with North American dates planned in Monterrey, Mexico on March 28 and two Floridian gigs in May before kicking off a North American run in full in July.

Dhurandhar Movie Review: A ferocious epic with scale, soul and patriotism

Entertainment Home Movie Reviews Dhurandhar Movie Review: A ferocious epic with scale, soul and patriotism With Dhar giving his best direction, and Ranveer Singh shining as he never did before, the film is like a skyscraper in the field of the cinema, one of the boldest and most exhilarating events of the year. By: Divya Pal  |  Published: December 5, 2025 4:50 PM IST Director/Writer: Aditya Dhar Cast: Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi Duration: 196 Minutes Rating: 4 Right off the bat, Dhurandhar is a bold, thrilling and absolutely stunning. Writer and director Aditya Dhar creates a never before seen spy thriller that is powerful, grounded and stylish. Packed with Indian emotions but with a worldwide appeal, this is the kind of theatrical thunder that only happens once in a lifetime and that shocks you, moves you, and is still with you after a long time. Taking inspiration from dark times of our country, such as IC-814 hijack, 2001 attack on Parliament, Mumbai attack, and sets up the story without even a moment of the pause. Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal, the Head of the Intelligence Bureau, wants to hit back at Pakistan, especially these terror groups, he crafts a clandestine yet long-term infiltration in terror group and destroy them from within, he wants India to hit back and take the fight to neighbours training grounds. His sharp dialogues, intense performance establishes the atmosphere which keeps the viewer engrossed. Madhavan place all his bets on Hamza, played by Ranveer Singh, a man with disturbing past, he got nothing to lose, and he is one mean killing machine but calculated and controlled. The actor delivers a raw, appealing and remarkable portrayal. This is his best performance so far, as Hamza he is explosive, gritty, but never predictable. He is not playing a role, he becomes the character from one act to another in a very short span, he rules the screen with his stare, silence, intensity, and action avatar, he is the soul of this thrilling spy saga. The supporting actors are at their best too. Akshaye Khanna’s Rehman Dakait is a frightful character- an extremely creative one, smart, hellishly evil, and intriguing in an almost mesmerizing way. Sanjay Dutt’s SP Aslam “The Jinn” is a raw energy-source of power that just gains force by every time he appears on the screen. Arjun Rampal’s Major Iqbal has the effect of a quiet threatening force while new face, Sara Arjun impresses with a confident, flawless approach to her debut. The actors commit fully which results in a dangerously engrossing and breathing world where every character is alive and vibrant. The makers also used authentic archival footage, Parliamentary visuals, and spine tingling 26/11 audio intercepts is one of the most potent moment of the film, which is just soul moving and nerve-wracking. Listening to the real recordings of terrorists giving and receiving the procession of the attack is quite unsettling, infuriating, and disturbingly real at the same time, thus invoking the feeling of patriotism but at no time being overly nationalistic. The filmmakers manage to maintain an energetic pace throughout the film despite its 196-minute length. Dhar’s control over narrative is like iron—every instant has it’s own importance, goal, and momentum. The music of the movie is worth a million praises: a different, very energetic and rhythmic BGM, which does not let the narrative slacken for even a single moment. Not a moment in the movie is uninteresting, and the soundtrack-which by the way is already being referred to as the album of the year- is turning the major reveals and confrontations into cinematic thunderbolts. The violence is rationally imposed and carries purpose. There are only a few scenes shown in graphic detail, and each of them is supported by the storyline. The impact of the first part comes from a rich emotional texture, intricate political situation, and very tense character developments. The first half of the film sets up a complicated world and the interval point delivers an experience which can be described as pure goosebumps. Aftercoming the break, the power struggles escalate, the conspiracies become more complex, and Hamza advances in the mafia as a result of cunning, treachery and calculated alliances– all leading to a perfect setup for the detonating Part Two arriving Eid 2026. With the support of B62 Studios and Jio Studios, the film is produced on a grand but real scale by Jyoti Deshpande, Lokesh Dhar, and Aditya Dhar. Their ambition, dedication to big-screen storytelling, and daringness of vision are very evident through the gigantic sets, brave narrative moves, and the unflinching nature of the action sequences. This is Indian cinema at its best and most polished, meeting international standards while not compromising on its cultural heartbeat. Dhurandhar is a brilliant, mind-boggling triumph-a masterly thriller which mixing the elements of intensity, emotion, scale and great finds of the cast of the movie. With Dhar giving his best direction, and Ranveer Singh shining as he never did before, the film is like a skyscraper in the field of the cinema, one of the boldest and most exhilarating events of the year. The last scene of the movie, which heralds Part Two, makes it very evident that there is only one thing clear – the war has just begun and the buzz is at a sky-high ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌level.

Dhurandhar Movie Review: Ranveer Singh commands the screen like only he can

Entertainment Home Reviews Dhurandhar Movie Review: Ranveer Singh commands the screen like only he can Dhurandhar Movie Review: Aditya Dhar actioner is lengthy, but Ranveer Singh keeps you engaged and proves even a star-studded cast can’t steal his spotlight. By: Divya Pal  |  Published: December 5, 2025 2:44 PM IST Dhurandhar Director: Aditya Dhar Cast: Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Gaurav Gera Rating: ★★★ Dhurandhar Movie Review: Ranveer Singh is a star for a reason. He doesn’t just play a character, but he transforms into it, and with that everything feels believable, exciting and engaging. With Dhurandhar too, Ranveer Singh proves that he’s never scared to take bold and gutsy swings. His vibe is infectious, his onscreen presence electric and it is his raw energy that instantly pulls viewers into whatever world he recreates. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself completely glued to the big screen, admiring his long tresses, intense gaze, and physique. But honestly, it’s not just the appearance, his acting is impressive too (barring a few sequences which looked unnecessary). Ranveer Singh delivers a compelling performance, and Dhurandhar makes it impossible to look away. Dhurandhar Movie Review: What is the story? Dhurandhar largely revolves around Ranveer Singh’s character Hamza Ali Mazhari, an undercover agent who is given the responsibility to enter enemy territory and gather critical intelligence on potential terrorist strikes. As the story progresses, Hamza starts focusing on terror network operating in Lyari (Karachi). He wins Rehman Dakait’s (Akshaye Khanna) trust, becomes his aid and meets ISI’s Major Iqbal (Arjun Rampal). Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhry Aslam Khan takes on the responsibility of killing Lyari. But does he? Watch the film to know what exactly happens. Dhurandhar Movie Review: What works/not for Ranveer Singh-starrer? The film kicks off with this super intense attack scene, and that clearly sets the tone perfectly! Everything looks sharp and well-executed, and the first 60 minutes not only makes you familiar with most of the characters, but also puts out the whole setup in a convincing manner. The viewers are given the perfect crux of the story with just the right amount of impact. Dhurandhar offers multiple story tracks, but not once do these appear confusing. Instead, all are tied together really well. The movie brings to the viewers the efforts that India’s intelligence make to pull the plug on Pakistan’s nasty plans, and covers almost everything – from the Parliament attack to Mumbai attacks to hijackings, and fake currency rackets. Adity Dhar’s film also puts forth Pakistan–Balochistan conflict. Since the director uses some real footage from the Parliament attack, it leaves a powerful impact. The film features several action and violent sequences which are intense. So if you are sensitive to such content, you may wish to exercise caution. However, the film presents these events with unflinching honesty. While the first half, which runs about two hours, keeps you hooked, it is the second half that drags a bit. And the ending could have been much better. I feel, tighter and crisp editing could’ve trimmed made some sequences hit harder. Dhurandhar Movie Review: How are the performances? You just can’t take your eyes off Ranveer Singh! The star totally owns the screen as Hamza. He may be brutal one minute, and irresistibly captivating, the next. Ranveer pays acute attention to every aspect – skin tone, hairdo, eye color, body language, flawless stunts – to ensure he exudes the raw, edgy vibe that his character demands. Akshaye Khanna as Rehman is compelling. He gets into the skin of his character with immense ease and perfection. Rakesh Bedi and Arjun Rampal play their parts well as a scheming politician and as Major Iqbal respectively. Sanjay Dutt doesn’t bring anything new. His humor, one-liners will make you feel you are watching one of his past releases. The actor who deserves mention is Gaurav Gera who is totally unrecognizable, but impactful. Sara Arjun, as Hamza’s love interest Yalina Jamil, could have done a lot better. They just don’t click on screen, and their height difference feels a bit off, too. Dhurandhar Movie Review: Final Verdict The film is bold, and at times a bit tiring. Nonetheless, you can’t stop watching it. Not everything hits perfectly, but the world Aditya Dhar manages to build is so gripping that you stay hooked anyway. Don’t Miss Out on the Latest Updates. Subscribe to Our Newsletter Today!
