Box Office: War 2 Telugu states theatrical rights sold for Rs 90 crore, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer acquired by Naga Vamsi
War 2 is among the most anticipated movies of 2025. The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer is seen as a front-runner to emerge as the biggest grosser of the year. While the movie is still 5 weeks away from its release, it is making waves for its historic pre-release business. War 2 locks the biggest deal for dubbed films in the Telugu states Pinkvilla learned that Yash Raj Films has inked a landmark deal with Naga Vamsi's Sithara Entertainments for the distribution rights of War 2. Reportedly, the leading South film production and distribution company has acquired the Telugu rights of War 2 to distribute it across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana at a staggering figure of Rs 90 crore minimum guarantee (MG). Interestingly, this is the biggest deal ever for a dubbed movie in the Telugu states in the history of Indian cinema. It includes theatrical distribution rights for all three versions- Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. War 2 to have a wide release in Telugu states, unlike other dubbed movies Usually, YRF doesn't believe in selling their films outright; however, they are opting for a rare strategy for War 2. The hype around War 2 skyrocketed ever since Jr NTR joined Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. And since then, multiple leading players from the Southern film industries have approached Aditya Chopra to bag its distribution rights. Eventually, the deal got locked with Sithara Entertainment, following multiple weeks of negotiation. The makers believe that the Naga Vamsi company is the right contender to take War 2 to the grassroots of the Telugu heartland. Reportedly, the Ayan Mukerji directorial will not be treated like a regular dubbed movie, but it will be released in mass pockets across APTS like a true-blue local venture. War 2 to have 5 AM premiere shows across the Telugu states Jr NTR, who is playing Agent Vikram in War 2, is among the biggest stars of Telugu cinema. With Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR facing off against each other, the interest among exhibitors is at peak. The makers are planning to capitalise on the hype and Tarak's superstardom by organising a massive 5 AM premiere show of War 2 across the twin states. For the unversed, War 2 marks the entry of Jr NTR to the YRF Spy Universe, which already has bigwigs like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and Kiara Advani. Slated to hit the screens on August 14, War 2 is the sixth film in the spy universe, following Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), War (2019), Pathaan (2023), and Tiger 3 (2023). The high-stakes deal between YRF and Sithara Entertainments signifies how a Pan-India movie should be marketed and distributed in the most passionate cinema markets. All eyes are now on the reception of War 2. It will be interesting to see whether the much-awaited movie can live up to the expectations or not. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Diogo Jota's accident: Cristiano Ronaldo reacts to Portuguese teammate's death, ‘It doesn't make sense'
Portuguese footballer Diogo Jota, 28, and his brother died in a car crash in Spain early on July 3. Their Lamborghini crashed, possibly due to a burst tyre while overtaking and caught fire. Jota recently married his long-time partner, with whom he had three children. His brother, Andre Silva, was also a footballer. Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to the death of his Portuguese teammate. 'It doesn't make sense. Just recently we were together in the national team, just recently you had gotten married. To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them,' Ronaldo wrote. 'Rest in peace, Diogo and Andre. We will all miss you,' CR7 wrote on Twitter (now X). Diogo Jota played for Liverpool FC, which has also reacted to the news. 'Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota,' it wrote on social media. Diego Jota was a part of the Liverpool team that won the Premier League last season. "It is a remarkable achievement for a small guy who came from Gondomar, where I had this dream. It's a moment I will cherish forever," Jota said after the victory. The Portuguese Football Federation has said the deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother are a huge loss for Portuguese football. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has called the news unexpected and tragic. 'I offer my deepest condolences to their family. It is a sad day for football and for both national and international sport,' he wrote. Many football fans in Portugal reacted. "He was, without a doubt, one of the great figures of our national team and a key player for Liverpool. It's a loss that saddens all Portuguese people, and I pray for him and for his family," one of them told Reuters.

Review: Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth
It's a 'tricky age' in Crossmore, Northern Ireland. There's not much to do and what there is to do is pretty mundane. The uneventfulness of life in this part of the world is the backdrop of Brighton-based Chloe Michelle Howarth's debut novel Sunburn. A quiet town in Northern Ireland much like the one that's the setting for Sunburn. (Shutterstock) Spanning a period from 1989 to 1995, this coming-of-age story of a group of teenagers in their last years of secondary school is also a tale of same-sex love in a traditional society; one where there are consequences if you tread a romantic path that doesn't align with heteronormative expectations. The setting's hyperlocal-ness also signals that the principal characters — Lucy Nolan and Susannah O'Shea — can't escape the reality that their business is everyone's business. 288pp, ₹1230; Verve Books In a sense, Sunburn is also an exploration of class. While Lucy's family is trying to make ends meet and follows rigid heteropatriarchal rules — men tend to the farm and women look after the home — Susannah's is the exact opposite. Her parents Phil and Catriona are separated and her mother is unhappy. In the eyes of Lucy's mother, the O'Sheas are no good. She understands only one thing: her role in the family, and is determined that Lucy follow her path. But like all the other girls, Lucy too looks up to the beautiful Susannah, who never had to wear hand-me-downs. Susannah 'knows how to talk to everybody; somehow she knows exactly what everybody wants to hear.' While Lucy is attracted to Susannah, she also finds this desire unruly: 'My fear, shame, and regret are elsewhere; I know them all combined in one sickness when I stare at Susannah, deep and long, and without permission.' This want, which she finds disgusting, is what drives the story. Lucy can't seem to 'figure out' who she is; the self-awareness that Susannah champions is missing in her. As a result, Lucy does what everyone expects of her and conforms. However, she remains conflicted about what the future holds: whether she'll be with Martin Burke, who loves her unconditionally but whom she considers just a friend, or if she will, one day, summon up the nerve to confess her love to Susannah. By now, the two of them have started writing letters to each other. Lucy plays this game for a while, oscillating between conforming to accepted norms and listening to herself. Until one day, when she realises that she is at the threshold of the permissibility of homo-sociality. She sees that she could become the subject of one of those rumours that invite ridicule to the family. This happens during a conversation with the other girls in the gang, Eimear reveals that one of the boys, Dennis Jennings, 'was caught with some fella up in the city.' She 'widens her eyes' to suggest the obvious: that he's gay. While the others are trying to suppress this hearsay, Susannah chimes in with 'What's the harm if he's gay?' Lucy definitely knows what's the harm. As a child, she had understood that there were limits to love. She thinks, 'one day people would run out of love for me.' Still, she hankers for Susannah, who exudes freedom and has a more liberal attitude towards life. But will she be her date to the school farewell ball? Or should she choose Martin, who, for the time, is seeing Rita Hegarty. While Martin is a permanent presence in Lucy's life, she happens to be a welcome distraction in Susannah's life. It's at the latter's home, when Catríona was away, that they became aware of their hunger for each other's bodies. This is where the novel is at its mesmerising best. The electrifying sentences give shape to the characters' queerness in all its complexity. 'Those first few heartbeats of her leave me ecstatic. At last, I am defined. All my lonely days were not wasted, they led me to this most perfect union, this weaving of our two souls. The parts of me that were once afraid can no longer be found. Perhaps they will come back to terrify me again, but for now, I can't feel them. For now, I allow myself to be wanted by her,' Lucy thinks. But it's clear that, yet again, she is not letting herself be the agent of change in her own life. Lucy's life does change, though, when one day the inevitable happens and her mother discovers the connection. Now, will she be her mother's daughter or allow herself to be Susannah's lover? Torn between being one Lucy at the cost of the other, she struggles to be her own person. Author Chloe Michelle Howarth (Courtesy The author brilliantly presents Martin as Lucy's raffle ticket out of Crossmore and into Dublin. Howarth uses her characters' motivations as an instrument to create perpetual conflicts that leave the readers wanting more. She also manages to introduce partial independence into Lucy's life. However, the thing with freedom is that it's either there or it isn't. Lucy realises that she can neither be who she was nor be Martin's girl. As a Susannah-shaped void begins to present itself, overwhelming Lucy, she attempts to direct her attention only at Martin. She hopes things will fall in place on their own. Then, life enters her body again when she finds herself in the presence of Geraldine, the niece of the owner of the café where she works. This turn of events energises the novel too. In this wonderfully crafted debut, Howarth shows how the vocabulary of love evolves for those whose desires don't align with the majority, whose love still dares not speak its name. Sunburn deserves all the accolades that have been coming its way, and prepares readers for the author's latest, Heap Earth Upon It – a historical novel featuring 'sibling rivalry and sapphic obsession'.
