Netflix Docu-Series Based on True Story: In the era of OTT, we are blessed with a plethora of platforms that are giving us options of some of the best real-life based documentaries. Netflix is also in the race and streams intriguing stories which are based on true stories. Today we are going to talk about a documentary which is based on a true story and is really heart-wrenching. This is a story of a 22-year-old girl who remained alive even after dying. Baffled? Let's know her story. What Is This Story About?
The story begins with a young 22-year-old girl who lives in a posh area and goes out for her morning walk. Morning became afternoon and afternoon turned into night but the girl never returned home. Something happened to the girl in the morning years ago that her parents has not been able to recover from the shock.
The documentary is available on Netflix with the title – '900 Days Without Anabel'. The story is about two kidnappers – Emilio Muñoz and Candido Ortiz – who deceived the victim's family for years. They kidnapped 22-year-old Anabel and demanded a ransom of 150 million pesetas (USD 9 million) from her family. To make her family believe, they even sent a fake audio tape in which Muñoz's wife imitated the victim's voice. Who Is The Director Of The Story?
Director Monica Palomero used archival footage, dramatic recreations, and audio recordings to present an emotionally resonant documentary. While drawing on her experience reporting on factual events and interviews with individuals involved in the original police investigation, the film's focus has prompted some viewers to suggest a greater emphasis on Annabel's personal life and her family's perspective. How the Victim Remained Alive For 900 Days Even After Death?
In the 3 -episode documentary, the director tries to show every aspect of the victim's story. In the first episode, Palomero shows the kidnapping incident, followed by ransom calls to the victim's parents. The second episode showcased a thorough police investigation, including the decoding of the fake audio tape. Notably, the audio tape was found in a deserted factory after 900 days.
The kidnappers killed Annabel after kidnapping her, but kept her alive to deceive her family into paying a ransom.

Box Office: Why is Jurassic World Rebirth's advance bookings not open in top Indian national chains yet?

Jurassic World: Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali and others, hits North American theatres on 2nd July and Indian theatres on 4th July. The excitement for the film across the globe is very high. Early projections are that the dinosaur movie will go past the USD 300 million mark at the global box office, by the end of the first weekend itself. For a movie that needs USD 500 million to breakeven theatrically, the expected weekend number should be seen very positively. Jurassic World: Rebirth Faces Hurdles In India; Full Fledged Advance Bookings Still Not Open Despite all that's working in favour of the movie, there are a few things that are going against it. After the setback of getting no IMAX screens, now the movie is struggling to get its desired showcasing in top Indian national chains. Advances for tentpole Hollywood movies begin a week or two prior to the release. Here, the film's limited advance bookings have opened in chains like Cinepolis and MovieMax but not PVRInox, which contributes more than 50 percent of the earnings of any Hollywood feature. Jurassic World: Rebirth Competes With Strong Holdover Releases And New Releases For Screens It is said that the movie is struggling to get its desired showcasing due to strong holdover titles like F1, Maa and Sitaare Zameen Par, and its release rival Metro... In Dino. While it goes without saying that the dinosaur film will be the top pick for Indian moviegoers this week, it is unfortunate that it has to still struggle to get its desired showcasing. One would hope that the screen-sharing issues are sorted and the movie gets a smooth release. Jurassic World: Rebirth Day 1 India Net Projections Based on our tracking, Jurassic World: Rebirth should be opening in the Rs 9.50 - 10.50 crore net vicinity. However, the tracking number can go for a toss if it does not get the desired showcasing. The advance bookings should open in a full-fledged manner by Wednesday, if the movie really wants a shot at a double digit opening. Jurassic World: Rebirth hits Indian theatres on 4th July, 2025. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Sohail Khan, Ex-Wife Seema Sajdeh Return From London Holiday With Sons Nirvaan and Yohan

Sohail Khan was spotted with ex-wife Seema Sajdeh and their sons, Nirvaan and Yohan, at Mumbai airport. The family skipped posing but a video is now going viral. Salman Khan's brother, Sohail Khan, was snapped with his ex-wife Seema Sajdeh and their sons last night. Sohail and Seema, who have been divorced, are co-parenting their two sons, Nirvaan and Yohan, and often come together when it is about family. Last night was one such occasion when the duo were snapped together at Mumbai airport as they accompanied their sons, reportedly from a holiday. While the ex-couple avoided posing for the paparazzi, a video of them has surfaced all over social media. Sohail had earlier shared photos with his sons in London on Instagram. Seema, however, didn't feature in them. In the video that has surfaced online, Seema looked stylish in her black-on-black tracksuit featuring a white skeleton print. Meanwhile, Sohail aced his casual avatar. The actor wore a beige T-shirt paired with light blue loose jeans and added a touch of style with a cap. Sohail Khan married designer Seema Sajdeh in 1998 after eloping, and later, they welcomed two sons. However, after 24 years of marriage, their relationship hit rock bottom, and after living separately for some time, they officially got divorced in 2022.

Seema has emphasized that 'kids come first," and both parents strive to 'do right by them." Seema, who appeared on Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, is now reportedly in a new relationship with her ex-fiancé, Vikram Ahuja. It was very recently that Salman Khan made an appearance as a guest on The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix, where he didn't hesitate to take a playful dig at his brother Sohail and his divorce with Seema. The actor, who was last seen in Sikandar alongside Rashmika Mandanna, took a witty jab at Sohail's marriage with Seema Sajdeh, which began when they eloped and ended in a quiet separation. Salman continued the story, explaining how Sohail once asked Avinash to vacate the room to make space for him and Seema. Avinash, surprised, reportedly asked, 'This is not fair — how can you get married like this?" On the work front, Sohail Khan was last seen in the Telugu film Arjun: Son of Vyjayanthi. His last Bollywood outing was a special appearance in Salman Khan's Dabangg 3. First Published:
