The power of imagination

India Today16-05-2025
An intelligent filmmaker knows that all stories have been told already, and a fresh story means fresh storytelling. Case in point: the new Sony LIV Hindi series Black, White & Gray—Love Kills. Written, directed and edited by Pushkar Sunil Mahabal, the Rashomon-like six-episode series is part true crime mockumentary, part chase thriller, and full metafiction. What could have been a straightforward crime story is explored as a fake documentary looking into the aftermath of the crime, juxtaposed with its dramatic re-enactment. This style coaxes us to question the ethics of the true crime genre, and the intersections of caste, class and gender across which crimes occur.

Moving on, Vikrant Massey is reported to have joined the cast of White, an ambitious biopic based on the life and humanitarian activity of spiritual guru Shri Ravi Shankar. The film is expected to begin production in August 2025 with an international group that previously worked on the critically acclaimed series Narcos. As per a Pinkvilla report, White will be shot in Colombia from start to finish, with around 90 percent of the film taking place on international land.

WWE SmackDown Results (July 11): LA Knight ambushed, Logan Paul interrupts Jelly Roll segment

WWE SmackDown delivered a packed episode this week, featuring everything from shocking title changes to one of the most talked-about celebrity segments of the year. The Friday night opened with LA Knight cutting a promo on Seth Rollins, only to be interrupted by Paul Heyman. Solo Sikoa and MFT soon followed, forcing Heyman to retreat. A backstage brawl led to a tag team match later in the night, with Jimmy Uso stepping in to support Knight. Notably, Tama Tonga was absent. — WWE (@WWE) Alexa Bliss vs Kairi Sane, Sol Ruca And Roxanne Perez In women's action, Alexa Bliss outlasted Sol Ruca, Roxanne Perez, and Kairi Sane in a Fatal 4-Way after hitting Sister Abigail on Sane. Charlotte Flair accompanied Bliss to ringside, though their uneasy alliance was clear. — WWE (@WWE) The Wyatt Sicks vs Street Profits Live Events The Wyatt Sicks claimed the WWE Tag Team Championships in a thrilling contest against the Street Profits, who debuted new gear reminiscent of early '90s Shawn Michaels. The crowd was red-hot as both teams traded near falls before Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis sealed the win. — WWE (@WWE) Logan Paul interrupts Jelly Roll 's live performance Roll's hometown performance was interrupted by Paul, leading to a red-hot segment involving Randy Orton , Drew McIntyre, and a fired-up Roll. Paul insulted Roll and celebrities in wrestling before chaos erupted. McIntyre hit Paul with a Claymore, Orton was ambushed, and Roll got physical to a massive pop. He'll now corner Orton at Saturday Night's Main Event. — WWE (@WWE) R-Truth vs Aleister Black R-Truth, still riding strong fan support, came out aggressive against Aleister Black, though Black countered effectively with his Muay Thai strikes. A steel chair entered the mix, but Truth was stopped by a sharp knee. Moments later, Black considered using the chair himself, only for the referee to intervene. In the chaos, Truth capitalized with a surprise roll-up, handing Black his first pinfall loss since returning. Backstage, Damian Priest tried to calm a furious Black, who briefly walked away—only to return and lay Priest out with a knee to the jaw, cementing a heel turn born out of frustration and defeat. — WWE (@WWE)
