Actors Tnusree Chakraborty, Rajatava Dutta, Debraj Bhattacharjee, and Pragya Goswami come together for
Porii Monii
, an upcoming Bengali horror drama that goes beyond jump scares to explore deep societal wounds.
Directed by Siddarta Chakraborty and Souvik Dey, the film blends supernatural elements with a hard-hitting social narrative.
At the heart of
Porii Monii
is the unsettling tale of a mother and daughter haunted by the past. The story follows young Pori, whose body becomes the vessel for a three-month-old fetus—aborted forcefully years ago—returning as a voiceless, spectral presence. The film explores the psychological breakdown of a mother, the distortion of feminine consciousness, and the unseen pain carried by women across generations.
'
Porii Monii
began as a horror story, but we soon realised it was also a reflection of our society—where real terror often hides beneath everyday life,' say the directors. They addded, 'Through this film, we don't just aim to scare, but to provoke thought, raise questions, and unearth silenced truths.'
"More than just a horror film,
Porii Monii
is a voice of resistance—an eerie yet emotional journey that challenges societal apathy and sheds light on the unspoken trauma that often lingers in silence," said Tnusree.

X user claims you can read 100+ books a day with AI— but the internet isn't convinced

Recently, Packy McCormick — the writer behind the Not Boring newsletter, posted a tweet that felt both hilarious and painfully accurate. With biting sarcasm, he quipped a tip for his users 'you can basically read> 100 books per day by asking ChatGPT to summarize them for you. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now ' Attached was a screenshot where the AI neatly distilled Anna Karenina into a tidy, 300-word explanation — plotlines, themes, and all. And if that didn't make a statement enough, Packy in his follow-up tweet, Packy asked ChatGPT to summarize The Lost Art of Reading — a book ironically warning about our shrinking attention spans and the slow erosion of deep, meaningful engagement with text. The AI obliged, and explained that David L. Ulin explains through his work, that 'in this fast paced, hyper-connected world, we're losing the ability– and patience– to sit with a book and engage deeply. The irony wasn't lost on anyone. A tool partly responsible for this very erosion was now calmly explaining its consequences — as if it hadn't just accelerated the trend. It was meta, brutal, and hilarious all at once. And netizens were quick to catch on to that. One user wrote, 'You're missing the entire point of reading. Books aren't just about the narrative. They're about word useage(sic), language. They're about culture - they give you quotes, insight to historical context and worldview. You cannot get any of that with a child's summary of what was an iconic book that served to change our world when it was released.' Another said, 'You read books for more than one thing. The point of reading a book like Anna Karenina is the experience of reading Anna Karenina. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now How did the love happen? How did the betrayal happen? What was the clash between desire and expectation? All lost in these crass cliff notes.' A third user puts her understanding quite eloquently. She wrote, 'Pro tip: you can basically eat whatever you want per day by asking chatgpt the recipe of it.' But beneath the humor lies a real, more unsettling truth. In a world that's constantly speeding up, where information is bite-sized and everything scrolls past in seconds, reading remains one of the last few acts that demands our full attention. It slows us down. It offers depth. And maybe most importantly, it gives us companionship — a quiet conversation with a voice that's not shouting over the noise. In a fast, distracted, and often lonely world, reading might just be the most human thing left.

How Belal Muhammad used AI to craft perfect response to Ian Machado Garry's accusation

Ian Machado Garry is pushing for a fight with Belal Muhammad at UFC 319 in Chicago. Garry accuses Muhammad of avoiding him. Muhammad responded to Garry using AI, creating a viral moment. He used ChatGPT to generate trash talk. Muhammad hinted at a possible fight in November. The verbal exchange promotes a potential title eliminator fight in the welterweight division. The ongoing allegations by Ian Machado Garry against Belal Muhammad, claiming the latter is avoiding a confrontation between them, have become the subject of a full social media, as well as the ex-UFC welterweight champion has resorted to the use of artificial intelligence to formulate his answer. Garry has been campaigning hard to get a high-stakes fight in the hometown of Muhammad at UFC 319 in Chicago on Aug 16th where years earlier Muhammad snatched the unanimous decision victory over Jack Della Maddalena. Ian Machado Garry intensifies pressure for UFC 319 Chicago showdown Ian Machado Garry has not been shy to express the desire to fight Belal Muhammad in a potential decisive eliminator match, which will be fought in the welterweight division. The Irish-born fighter who had a 16-1 record, carrying 9 wins inside the octagon in his name thinks that Muhammad is deliberately dodging the encounter by providing callouts against other fighters. In particular, Garry referred to the way Muhammad continued referring to Kamaru Usman when the former champion publicly proclaimed that he would not fight shortly. Belal Muhammad continues to call out Kamaru Usman Garry added in his Instagram video callout. Kamaru Usman himself said that he would never fight shortly, so why did he call him out in the first place? He is not addressing me because he does not want to see me." The 27-year-old opponent also accused Muhammad of having referred to the name of Sean Brady considering that Muhammad had already beaten Sean and knocked him out before. Belal Muhammad's AI-generated response creates a viral moment Instead of fashioning a traditional reaction, Belal Muhammad had an unconventional correspondence and found his way to use ChatGPT to create his response to Ian Machado Garry. The 35-year-old Windy City native, who has a 24-win-4-loss record including 15 wins in the UFC, openly admitted that he used artificial intelligence when creating his trash talk, which subsequently became viral throughout the MMA community. Reading the result of the AI suggestion on his phone, Muhammad said: "Ian Garry trying to do some Conor cosplay and Dollar Tree trash talk out here. You have sharper jabs than you have lines, bro. You sound like a teenager who found the McGregor highlights." This was followed by a cutting out of their promotional skills of Garry and the advice that he practice his verbal skills until they are as precise as the ones his barber works out. The artistic strategy has been a huge hit among the viewers of the UFC, and many have endorsed the utilization of technology by Muhammad in the process of promoting fights. Social media responded in a way such as messages saying that the interaction was like "10-7 ChatGPT" and that Belal has a good trash talk game, and it does not even look human at times. Interestingly, the caption by Muhammad hinted at a November date of the possible fight, actually writing "See you in November, dork" which would imply that Muhammad may be looking at a slot on a New York City pay-per-view to avoid the August date that Garry is prodding to be an event in Chicago. Also Read: News Roundup MMA: Robert Whittaker Plans Retirement, Ilia Topuria Targets Islam Makhachev, Gunnar Nelson As the two contenders are ranked right now, in the welterweight division, such verbal exchange of words is a good promotion of a potential title eliminator fight. With Islam Makhachev about to become the next challenger to Jack Della Maddalena later this year, it would stand to reason that whoever wins the possible Muhammad versus Garry manner of matchup would have earned the next title shot, thus causing this rivalry to be even greater concerning the title aspirations of both fighters.

Prosenjit Chatterjee says he, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn are all ‘producer-friendly' actors: 'We have seen the hard times...'

Bengali cinema's Prosenjit Chatterjee, known as Bumba Da, is entering Hindi television as a producer, drawing on his extensive experience. He emphasizes the importance of actors understanding production challenges, like Shah Rukh Khan, to ensure project success. Prosenjit remains dedicated to acting, viewing it as his primary passion and continuing to work with newcomers driven by creativity. Bengali cinema icon Prosenjit Chatterjee , fondly known as Bumba Da, is bringing his decades of experience to Hindi television as a first-time producer. In an insightful chat with SCREEN, he opened up about balancing creativity and commerce, why he considers himself a 'producer-friendly' actor like Shah Rukh Khan , Salman Khan , and Ajay Devgn , and how a nickname given by fans became his lifelong identity. Prosenjit shared how the endearing nickname 'Bumba Da' has followed him far beyond West Bengal—even on sets in Mumbai. He revealed that during projects like Jubilee and Khakee, co-stars including Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao naturally took to calling him Bumba Da. Even West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee addresses him as Bumba in official meetings. For Prosenjit, it's not just a nickname—it's a generational bond with his audience. 'I never changed my name,' he reflected, 'my fans and well-wishers made me Bumba Da, and that's a true blessing.' The actor further reflected on how his four-decade-long acting career has shaped his understanding of the producer's role. He pointed out that when he, along with contemporaries like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn, began their careers, the film economy was vastly different. Prosenjit emphasized the importance of actors being in tune with the challenges producers face. He said that understanding both the creative and financial sides of production is key to being a 'producer-friendly' actor—someone who ensures a project's success so producers feel confident backing future films. He also shared how years of experience have made him deeply attuned to the production side of filmmaking. Known in Kolkata for being a meticulous planner, he revealed that he can break down a script and offer a shooting plan within 24 hours. Having seen tough times early in his career, he believes in working efficiently without waste. Recalling a proud moment, he spoke about producing a cult show for Star Jalsha directed by the legendary Rituparno Ghosh—something few could have pulled off. For Prosenjit, every project must offer creative satisfaction above all else. On a parting note, Prosenjit reaffirmed that acting remains his true calling. While he has ventured into production, he sees himself first and foremost as an actor—something he hopes to continue until his last breath. A passionate student of cinema, he shared that he often works with newcomers, both as an actor and producer, driven by creativity rather than commerce. He admitted that he only feels a sense of purpose once he signs a film—a habit and mindset he has no intention of changing.
