Entertainment Updated on :  25 Dec 2025, 6:20 pm Sirai, which released in theatres on Thursday for Christmas, has been getting plaudits from fans, critics and members of the film fraternity. Actor Soori, after watching the film, praised the story and performances. Soori called Sirai an “honest film” and said there were several moments in the film where a prayer escaped from him whenever the protagonist is in danger. He went on to applaud the director Suresh Rajakumari for coming up with such a story, and the performances by Vikram Prabhu and debutant Akshay Kumar. Calling it an “arresting drama” about the justice system, an excerpt from the CE review reads, “Points to the makers for also writing in just enough subversions to make Sirai a compelling watch. Just when you think that an undertrial with freedom at his doorstep would do ‘A’, he goes on to do ‘Z’, and when you think a cop is making the same mistakes that almost cost him his job once, his response makes you smile because the world doesn’t exist in binaries.” Sirai has a story by Taanakkaran fame Tamizh, which is based on the former police officer’s real life, with the addition of fictional elements. The film marks the acting debut of Akshay Kumar, who is the son of its producer Lalit Kumar of the banner SS Screen Studios, known for backing the Vijay starrers Master and Leo. The cast also includes I AM Kathalan star Anishma Anilkumar in her Tamil debut, Ananda Thambirajah, and Remya Suresh, among others. Its technical team includes music director Justin Prabhakaran, editor Philomin Raj, and cinematographer Madhesh Manickam. Read More

Entertainment Recent industry rumours that Ranveer Singh walked out of Farhan Akhtar’s highly anticipated film Don 3, following the massive success of his blockbuster Dhurandhar, have been challenged by multiple reports. Sources cited in the PinkVilla say the narrative linking his departure to Dhurandhar’s box-office performance is not accurate. Ranveer Singh did not quit Don 3 because of Dhurandhar success, but creative differences: Report Allegations suggested that Ranveer’s growing clout after Dhurandhar — which has been breaking records across India — led him to distance himself from Don 3 to avoid repeating back-to-back gangster roles. The Free Press Journal report notes that Farhan Akhtar was among the early supporters of Ranveer’s career, backing him at a time when several projects were stalled or shelved. However, India Today’s recent report has stated that the claim he quit Don 3 because of Dhurandhar’s success is unfounded. The evolving situation reportedly stems from creative disagreements and scheduling factors, not a simple decision driven by box-office momentum. Neither Ranveer nor the Don 3 production team has issued an official statement on the specifics of his involvement or departure. Don 3, a continuation of Farhan Akhtar’s iconic franchise originally revived with Shah Rukh Khan in 2006 and 2011, has seen casting changes in recent months. While the search for a new lead continues amid uncertainties, Dhurandhar has kept Ranveer’s profile at a high point, with its strong performance at the ticket windows contributing to the ongoing conversation around his next career moves.

Entertainment Dharma Productions has firmly denied allegations of plagiarism surrounding its film Homebound after author and journalist Puja Changoiwala accused the makers of copying her 2021 novel of the same name. The controversy erupted just days after the movie was shortlisted for the Best International Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards. Dharma Productions calls Homebound plagiarism claims “baseless and unfounded” Changoiwala sent a legal notice in October claiming that significant portions of the film’s second half — including scenes, dialogue, narrative structure and sequence of events — closely mirror her book. She also argued that Homebound shares not just a title but substantial creative elements, and is seeking legal remedies that include a potential injunction and damages. A statement from Dharma Productions, shared by Mid-Day, said, “The allegations of copyright infringement are baseless and unfounded, and Dharma Productions categorically denies the same. Homebound is an officially licensed adaptation inspired by the New York Times article by Basharat Peer, with all requisite rights lawfully acquired and due credit duly provided. A legal notice has been received and duly responded to by Dharma Productions’ legal counsel.” It further read, “Dharma Productions has become aware through media reports of an alleged pre-suit mediation before the Bombay High Court — however, no formal communication has been received to date. We take such allegations seriously and are exploring legal action at our end to protect the integrity of our film.” The film, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and starring Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa and Janhvi Kapoor, is set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 migrant exodus. While Homebound continues to attract attention for its awards prospects, the copyright dispute adds a new legal dimension to its public conversation.
