Mahavatar Narasimha continues unstoppable run, mints Rs 50 crore in Hindi
Adarsh commented, "This is an extraordinary feat for a film that opened at just Rs 1.4 crore. Given the current trend, Rs 100 crore milestone is well within reach."India Today gave the film 3.5 stars. A part of the review reads, "'Mahavatar Narsimha' blends sacred beliefs and mysticism with human sensitivities and contemporary societal challenges. It touches upon the hell-bent mentality of gaining power and superiority because of ego, greed, lust and jealousy. Kumar's soulful storytelling makes India's ancient epics relatable across generations through its compelling narrative. The film hits the bull's eye by echoing the right emotions as the story progresses. Irrespective of whether the audience is familiar with the ancient legends and folklores, the movie keeps you thoroughly engaged."Produced by Shilpaa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai under the banner of Kleem Productions, the animated mythological film is presented by Hombale Films. They are the producers of the 'KGF' films, 'Kantara', and 'Salaar'.- Ends

What does ‘sesquipedalion' even mean? Shah Rukh Khan channels inner Shashi Tharoor after his tweet on National Award win
Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan recently achieved a landmark moment in his illustrious career—winning his first National Award after more than 30 years in the industry. He was honoured for his powerful performance in Atlee's 2023 action blockbuster Jawan. The recognition marks a significant milestone, acknowledging SRK's enduring impact on Indian cinema. Politician Shashi Tharoor congratulated Shah Rukh Khan on his National Award win, calling him a national treasure. SRK humorously responded, referencing Tharoor's elaborate vocabulary while expressing gratitude for the praise. SRK's witty reply to Shashi Tharoor's congratulatory message Following the announcement, politician and wordsmith Shashi Tharoor extended his congratulations, posting on social media, 'A National Treasure wins a National Award! Congratulations.' True to his wit, Shah Rukh responded with a humorous and self-deprecating quip: "Thank u for the simple praise Mr Tharoor… Would not have understood something more magniloquent and sesquipedalian… ha ha," he joked. For context, the words magniloquent and sesquipedalian are a playful nod to Tharoor's famously elaborate vocabulary. Magniloquent means speaking in a lofty or grandiose style. Sesquipedalian refers to the use of long, often obscure words—or someone who tends to use such words. Shah Rukh pays gratitude after winning the award After receiving the National Award, Shah Rukh expressed heartfelt gratitude in a video message: "Namaskar and Adab. Needless to say, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, pride and humility. To be honoured with the National Award is a moment that I will cherish for a lifetime." He thanked the jury, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, his directors, producers, family, and fans. In true SRK style, he ended with: "This award is for you, as each award is. And yeah, I would love to spread my arms for you and share my love, but I'm a bit indisposed. But don't worry, just keep the popcorn ready. I'll be back in theaters and soon on the screen. So till then, just with one hand. Ready!" In his caption, he added: 'Thank you for honouring me with the National Award. Thanks to the jury, the I&B ministry… Iss samman ke liye Bharat Sarkar ka dhanyawaad. Overwhelmed with the love showered upon me. Half a hug to everyone today.' Jawan is a high-octane action thriller that showcases Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role, portraying both a soldier and a vigilante. Directed by Atlee, the film combines mass appeal with social commentary, tackling themes like justice, corruption, and father-son dynamics. With its stylised action sequences, emotional depth, and blockbuster soundtrack, Jawan resonated with audiences across the country, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India.

Aneet Padda asked Saiyaara director Mohit Suri for advice after her ‘Mujhe sharam aa rahi' video went viral: ‘I was feeling shy…'
Debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have garnered immense praise for their debut film Saiyaara. The actors who are facing so much attention and limelight now, recently, a video of Aneet Padda went viral on social media. In the video, the actress was spotted at the airport where the paparazzi were photographing her. In an awkward moment, Aneet very politely asked them to stop and said, 'Mujhe sharam aa rahi hai (I am feeling shy).' She also refused to remove her face mask, which led to some negative reactions on social media. Now, in a recent podcast with Zoom TV, the film's director, Mohit Suri, shared his opinion on Aneet's reaction. He also shared why Ahaan and Aneet were intentionally kept away from media interactions and other promotions during Saiyaara. A post shared by SCREEN (@ieentertainment Also Read: Saiyaara director Mohit Suri is a 'bright, young boy' but I don't see the 'original voice' of Anupam Kher's Tanvi The Great, says Mahesh Bhatt: 'It is entertainment for the soul' Reacting to Aneet's viral video, Mohit Suri said, 'The only thing I always told Aneet was to be honest, I said you are perfect as you are, and there is no right thing to say. When she had asked me if I wanted to tell them I was feeling shy? I said 'say it'. We have become a generation that is supposed to have the answers. What's wrong with being vulnerable? She went there, and when they were clicking, she said 'mujhe sharam aa rahi hai', and I think it was the most honest thing to be, rather than pretend to be what you are not.' He further added, 'We have all been told to pretend and told to wear these clothes and costumes when we go to catch a flight or to the gym. I told her to be who she is. We have tried to be honest all through this film; people think the viral videos in the theaters were created, but we have not done that.' Mohit also explained that he and the team at YRF consciously chose to keep Ahaan and Aneet away from media interactions and in-person promotions before Saiyaara released. 'I wanted Aneet and Ahaan to be judged for their art and not for their personal lives. Yashraj also had the same belief, so we backed them with a trailer, a song, so that they had the arm, other than people judging them on their hairstyle, clothes. They are artist, they are supposed to act, emote, not supposed to dress well and be fashionable,' Mohit Suri shared. Stating that he has just 'scratched the surface' with Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Mohit also revealed that he doesn't want them to cry in their next film. He said, 'There is a lighter side to Aneet and Ahaan, which was not there in Saiyaara at all. The first thing I told them was to go out and laugh, have fun, and stop playing these mature parts. Don't you dare cry, Aneet, in your next film; even Ahaan can dance, do action, and more. I just brought them into the world, now they are going to fly.' On the work front, Aneet Padda will be seen in Nitya Mehra's courtroom drama Nyaya, which also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh and Arjun Mathur in important roles. The show produced by Applause Entertainment will be streamed on a major OTT platform; details on the same are yet to be disclosed.
