Kajal Pisal unwinds in Sri Lanka after wrapping up Jhanak; says ‘I was craving for this trip as a solo traveller'
Sharing her excitement about the much-needed break, Kajal said, "It was a long time. I was craving for a trip. And decided to explore Sri Lanka. Exploring as a solo traveler, Sri Lanka offers a fantastic opportunity to experience its diverse landscapes, rich culture, and warm hospitality. From ancient historical sites to stunning beaches and lush tea plantations, there's something for every traveler."
Kajal, who won hearts with her performance in Jhanak, exited the show as it recently took a dramatic 20-year leap in June.
Reflecting on her experience with the show, she had previously said, "I will surely miss the entire unit and cast of Jhanak. I am so happy to be part of this team, and I hope to get such a team in the future as well."
Calling Jhanak the most fulfilling project of her career so far, the actress added, "In all my working experience, this show has been the best for me. I will miss everyone. At the same time, I understand that the show needs this leap and the story needs to move further."

Known for her roles in shows like Sirf Tum, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, and Naagin, Kajal remains open to exciting opportunities ahead. Speaking about what's next, she shared, "I won't be taking a break from work. If something good comes my way, I will take it up. And if that takes time, I might take a vacation too."
For now, it seems the serene shores of Sri Lanka are giving Kajal just the rejuvenation she needs before her next on-screen chapter begins.

Kherin Sharma and Rupkatha Chakraborty are both impressive as young girls caught in the storm of ancient evil. Ronit Bose Roy lends solid support as the village sarpanch. While it doesn't reinvent the genre, the film delivers a mythologically rooted horror tale that makes for a decent one-time watch. "

'Jurassic World Rebirth' takes a bite out of Fourth of July weekend with $318 million global haul
Dinosaur fatigue may be a theme in "Jurassic World Rebirth," but moviegoing audiences don't seem to have that reservation. The newest installment in the "Jurassic World" franchise ruled the Fourth of July holiday box office with a global, five-day launch of $318.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Universal Pictures release, directed by Gareth Edwards, opened on Wednesday and earned $147.3 million in its first five days in 4,308 North American theatres. An estimated $91.5 million of that comes from the traditional "three day" weekend, which includes the Friday holiday, Saturday and projected Sunday ticket sales. Internationally, it opened in 82 markets including China, adding $171 million to the opening total. According to the studio, $41.5 million of that came from China alone, where it played on 65,000 screens, 760 of which were IMAX. It's the country's biggest MPA (Motion Picture Association) opening of the year. "Jurassic World" was missing from IMAX screens domestically (due to a commitment to continue showing "F1"), but it thrived on the premium large format screens where it played. One of those options was Dolby Cinema, where it made nearly $8 million from only 167 screens in five days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ดัชนีทั่วโลกกำลังคึกคัก ถึงเวลาเทรดแล้ว! IC Markets อ่านเพิ่มเติม Undo "Rebirth," starring Scarlett Johansson , Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey , is the fourth movie in the "Jurassic World" series and the seventh since Steven Spielberg 's original Michael Crichton adaptation stormed theatres in the summer of 1993. The new film received mixed reviews from critics, carrying a 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, and B CinemaScore from opening weekend audiences. The studio was struck by the broad audience turnout, from ages eight to 80, and the fact that the film exceeded estimates at every step despite the reviews. Factors like the holiday weekend, inflation and post-COVID moviegoing realities make it difficult to fairly compare the "Rebirth" launch to the other films in the "Jurassic World" franchise, the first of which opened to $208 million domestically in 2015. The other two, "Fallen Kingdom" and "Dominion" opened to $148 million and $145 million respectively. "Jurassic World Rebirth" introduced a new main cast to the series and brought back a familiar voice in "Jurassic Park" screenwriter David Koepp to guide the story about a dangerous hunt for dinosaur DNA (not for making dinosaurs this time, but for curing heart disease). It cost a reported $180 million net to produce, not including marketing and promotion costs. The campaign was far reaching, including a global press tour, with stops everywhere from London to Seoul, integrated marketing across NBC Universal platforms and brand tie-ins with everything from Jeep and 7-11 to Johansson's skincare line. No major new films dared go up against the dinosaurs, who left last week's champion, the Brad Pitt racing movie "F1," in the dust. "F1" fell a modest 54% in its second weekend with $26.1 million, helping bring its domestic total to $109.5 million. It continues to play on IMAX screens with accounted for $7.6 million of the North American weekend ticket sales. Globally, it's nearing $300 million with a running total of $293.6 million. Third place went to Universal's live-action "How to Train Your Dragon," which earned $11 million in its fourth weekend, bringing its domestic total to $224 million. Disney and Pixar's "Elio" landed in fourth place with $5.7 million. Globally, "Elio" has just crossed $96 million in three weekends. "28 Years Later" rounded out the top five with $4.6 million. A 41-year-old movie also made the domestic top 10: The re-release of Rob Reiner's 1984 film "This is Spinal Tap." Having the Fourth of July land on a Friday could have negatively impacted the overall box office, but the holiday didn't blow up the weekend's earnings. And there's still some major movies to come in the packed summer movie calendar, including "Superman," which opens later this week. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Comscore: 1. "Jurassic World Rebirth," $91.5 million. 2. "F1 The Movie," $26.1 million. 3. "How to Train Your Dragon," $11 million. 4. "Elio," $5.7 million. 5. "28 Years Later," $4.6 million. 6. "Lilo & Stitch," $3.8 million. 7. "M3GAN 2.0," $3.8 million. 8. "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," $2.7 million. 9. "Materialists," $1.3 million. 10. "This is Spinal Tap" (41st Anniversary re-release), $931,737.

300-cr bridge to link Coastal Rd at Haji Ali with arterial Parel path
Mumbai: A new elevated road is being proposed to connect Senapati Bapat Marg -- leading towards Phoenix Mills and Kamla Mills -- with the Haji Ali end of Lala Lajpatrai Road, where the coastal road has designated entry and exit points. If it goes as planned, people travelling from the crowded areas of Parel, Dadar, Matunga, and Mahim could soon reach the coastal road near Haji Ali junction within minutes. The proposed six-lane elevated corridor, currently a missing link in the city's east-west connectivity, will skirt along the edge of Mahalaxmi Racecourse and pass near the NSCI Dome. Officials from the urban development department said the project will not require any land acquisition, nor will it disrupt the existing flow of traffic during construction. The viaduct will begin near the coastal road's entry/exit on Lala Lajpatrai Road, pass through open areas alongside the race track and stadia, and land near the E Moses Road end of Senapati Bapat Marg. From there, motorists will have seamless access to Gokhale Road, Lady Jamshed Road, Bhavani Shankar Road, NM Joshi Marg, and onward to key locations like Siddhivinayak Temple, Shivaji Park, Lower Parel, and Mahim.

At present, traffic coming from Haji Ali (via Tardeo, Pedder Road, Bhulabhai Desai Road, or the coastal road) must take a long detour through Worli Naka (via Annie Besant Road or Pandurang Budhkar Marg), Nehru Science Centre road, or Keshavrao Khadye Marg-Dr E Moses Road, loop around the racecourse and NSCI Dome to reach Dadar. Southbound traffic from Dadar and Parel must follow the same roundabout route. Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, whose office unveiled the proposal in coordination with the public works department (PWD), called the project a transformative move for the city's infrastructure. While implementing agencies are yet to be finalised, the plan has been received positively due to its promise to cut travel time and ease congestion without displacing people or requiring land acquisition. Shinde said: "It is more than just an infrastructure project; it's a visionary step toward Mumbai's future. Our goal is to make the city traffic jam-free. This signal-free corridor will enable smooth, uninterrupted travel. We are committed to building a faster, cleaner MMR that respects Mumbaikars' time and space."
