This 1-hour 53-minute horror thriller film will send chills down your spine, climax will leave you speechless, has IMDb rating of 6.6, movie is…, lead actors are…
In the world of horror films, few stories manage to stand out by doing something truly different. One film did just that by taking a simple idea, what if vampires attacked when no one could escape—and placed it in one of the most chilling and isolated settings on Earth. With a sense of creeping dread and brutal survival, it gave horror lovers something fresh. It didn't rely on fancy effects or over-the-top jump scares. Instead, it brought terror in the form of long, freezing nights and monsters that thrive in the dark. Which film is this? The film we're talking about is 30 Days of Night, released in 2007 and directed by David Slade. Based on the comic book of the same name, the movie is set in Barrow, Alaska, where the sun disappears for 30 days during winter. As the town settles into darkness, a group of ruthless vampires arrives, turning the peaceful community into a feeding ground. Josh Hartnett stars as Sheriff Eben Oleson, a man who must lead the survivors, including his estranged wife Stella (played by Melissa George), in a desperate battle against bloodthirsty creatures that show no mercy. How were the performances? Danny Huston's performance as the terrifying vampire leader Marlow added to the intensity. His cold, emotionless portrayal left a lasting impression on audiences. Other actors like Ben Foster, who plays a creepy stranger preparing the town for the vampire attack, and Mark Boone Junior, who plays a local with a heroic streak, add depth to the small-town vibe and the growing horror. How was the box office reception? The film was made on a budget of approximately Rs 250 crore and earned over Rs 625 crore worldwide. Its gritty visuals and unique setting helped it stand out, earning a solid IMDb rating of 6.6. It is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video and in some regions, it can also be found on YouTube Movies. The sequel to 30 Days Of Night Due to its success, the film led to a sequel in 2010 titled 30 Days of Night: Dark Days. The sequel follows Stella Oleson, now portrayed by Kiele Sanchez, as she travels to Los Angeles to expose the existence of vampires and take revenge. However, the sequel didn't connect with viewers the same way and received mixed reviews, with a lower IMDb score of 4.3. Still, the original remains a must-watch for horror fans, which is still remarked as best and terrifying vampire based movies ever made.

Meet actor who played young Amitabh Bachchan, moved to the US, and built a Rs 200 crore business empire, his name is...
In the golden age of Hindi cinema, a few young faces became instantly recognisable, the child actors who played Amitabh Bachchan's younger self in some of the biggest blockbusters. From Deewar to Coolie, these kids were sometimes more in demand than grown-up leads. But stardom in childhood didn't mean a lifetime in front of the camera. As the years rolled by, their journeys took unexpected turns, from tech to hospitality to international business. Who is Alankar Joshi Known to audiences as Master Alankar, Alankar Joshi starred in over 100 Hindi films, delivering memorable performances in Seeta Aur Geeta, Majboor, and Deewar. His sister, actor Pallavi Joshi, once revealed that it was Amitabh Bachchan who suggested casting him in Deewar. But adulthood brought a shift. Alankar left acting, dabbled briefly in direction and production in Marathi cinema, and eventually moved to the U.S. A career in software programming followed, then entrepreneurship. Three decades on, he runs a thriving business reportedly worth around Rs 200 crore. His daughters act in Hollywood, while his son is pursuing music. Ravi Valecha: 'Chhota Amitabh' to hotelier Master Ravi Valecha, nicknamed 'Chhota Amitabh', lit up the screen as young Bachchan in Amar Akbar Anthony, Coolie, and Mr. Natwarlal. Starting at age four, he shared the frame with icons like Dilip Kumar and Rishi Kapoor. As an adult, he stepped away from films and studied Hotel Management, later completing an MBA in Hospitality and International Business. Today, he is a respected figure in the hospitality sector and trains students in soft skills and industry readiness. Master Mayur, real name Mayur Raj Verma, was the highest-paid child actor of his era, appearing in Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Laawaris, and later as Abhimanyu in BR Chopra's Mahabharata. His break came when his journalist mother introduced his photo to director Prakash Mehra, who needed a child resembling Amitabh Bachchan. After hits like Sharabi and Love in Goa, he left the limelight, moved to Wales, and married celebrity chef Noori. Together, they built a successful restaurant empire in Indiana and expanded into multiple ventures, with wealth reportedly in the billions.

It is now eyeing a ₹ 285 cr [+/-] total by the end of Week 2.' In another post on X, Adarsh noted, '#Saiyaara continues its strong run on Tuesday, hitting double digits yet again… The discounted ticket pricing initiative has certainly helped drive footfalls.'
