Made for Rs 2 crore, this film is huge flop, left behind movies like Housefull 5, Adipurush, and Sikander, is being trolled for…, movie is…, lead actors are…
Recently, the trailer of a film is making people laugh a lot on the internet. Netizens are making fun of it and saying, 'This is worse than Adipurush.' However, it is a Pakistani film which was released at a time when there is tension between India and Pakistan. The tension between the two countries has not reduced yet, due to which the ban on Pakistani artists continues in India. At such a time, it seems that this film itself is inviting trolling. Parwaaz Hai Junoon Here we are talking about 2018 film, 'Parwaaz Hai Junoon', It was produced by Momina Duraid and directed by Haseeb Hassan. But recently it is being criticized after it went viral again. Starring Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ahad Raza Mir and Hania Aamir in lead roles, the film depicted the Pakistan Air Force. Some people romanticized life, love stories and sacrifices in a war-like setting. It failed to instill patriotism and was subjected to brutal trolling. Worst Quality Of VFX The grand scenes in this film showing Pakistani soldiers as heroes and victorious in war have angered the audience. Many netizens are reacting that this is actually a far-fetched idea. One wrote, 'Pakistan has not won a single war till now, so why all these grand things?' they are protesting. One wrote, 'There should be a disclaimer that this film has nothing to do with reality.' One quipped, 'The VFX budget of this film is less than even a typical Indian web series.' Some people are laughing that the fighter planes look like they have been taken from a 90s video game and called it Tom Cruise' Top Gun ki cheap copy. The Budget Of This Aerial Action Thriller As per reports, the film was made for Rs 12 crore and it collected Rs 28 crore. It had a strong opening, earning Rs. 2.13 crore worldwide on day one. It collected Rs. 5.45 crore in two days, Rs. 8.74 crore in three days, and Rs. 12.68 crore in four days. By the end of its first week, it reached Rs. 18.18 crore globally. In its second week, it broke records with Rs. 28.12 crore. The film features several of Pakistan's most beloved actors, such as Hamza Abbasi, Ahad Raza Mir, and Hania Aamir, who has recently found herself at the center of a controversy. The young actress was poised to make her Bollywood debut alongside Diljit Dosanjh in the already postponed film. Sardaar Ji 3, for which the trailer was unveiled on Sunday. However, due to the tensions following the Pahalgam attacks and Operation Sindoor, the casting has encountered significant backlash, resulting in this third installment of the Sardaar Ji series being released only in theaters abroad.

Prada finally admits its 'new' sandals are basically Kolhapuri chappals and India noticed
Prada faced criticism for featuring sandals in its Spring-Summer 2026 collection that closely resembled Kolhapuri chappals without acknowledging their origin. Following backlash, Lorenzo Bertelli of Prada admitted the design's inspiration from traditional Indian footwear and expressed interest in collaborating with local artisans. This incident highlights the need for proper credit and support for traditional crafts in the fashion industry. So, here's what went down: Prada recently showcased its Spring-Summer 2026 men's collection, and one particular piece had Indian fashion watchers doing a double take, sandals that looked way too familiar. Yep, they strongly resembled Kolhapuri chappals, the iconic handmade leather footwear from Maharashtra. But instead of owning up to the source of inspiration, Prada casually referred to them as just 'leather sandals' in their show notes. Naturally, this didn't sit well with a lot of people. Lalit Gandhi, the president of the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, was among the first to call the brand out. He reminded them and the world that Kolhapuris aren't just any old sandals. They carry cultural and artisanal weight and even have a GI (Geographical Indication) tag since 2019. Fast forward a few days and Prada seems to have gotten the message. Lorenzo Bertelli, who heads CSR at the Prada Group, sent a letter to Gandhi acknowledging the 'inspiration' behind the sandals. He admitted that the design was indeed influenced by traditional Indian handcrafted footwear, which has, as he put it, 'a centuries-old heritage.' (Took them long enough, right?) Bertelli also clarified that the collection is still in its early design phase and hasn't gone into production or sale, yet. He added that Prada respects Indian craftsmanship and wants to explore ways to work more closely with local artisans in the future. While it's good that Prada finally acknowledged the roots of the design, Gandhi's larger point still stands: cultural exchange in fashion is great, but it has to come with proper credit and collaboration. It's not enough to just "borrow" it's about recognizing where things come from and supporting the people who've kept those traditions alive. If this leads to big brands actually uplifting traditional crafts instead of just repackaging them, it might be a step in the right direction for the fashion industry.
