2. Gajaana's cast and crew

3. Gajaana's plot overview
A group of people enters a mysterious forest called Nagamalai, hoping to find a magical treasure and get rich. But this isn't a normal forest, it's cursed and full of strange, dangerous creatures. As they go deeper, things start going wrong. Some members of the group disappear or die under mysterious circumstances.
They soon realise that the forest is protected by a powerful mythical creature called the Yali, a mix between an elephant and a lion. The group has to figure out how to escape the forest, break the ancient curse, and survive the supernatural threats chasing them. In the end, their greed turns into regret, and only those who respect the forest's power have a chance to survive.
4. Gajaana's review
The Times of India rated the movie 2 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'Gajaana is amateurish, ill-conceived and pretentious. Right from the evidently fake blood to the poorly conceived CGI animals, Gajaana is let down by poor execution. Gajaana gets butchered in execution with its unnecessary positioning of a sequel, unconvincing CGI and the lack of focus given to individual character arcs.'

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 4: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri film struggles after slow start, earns ₹1 crore
Dhadak 2 box office collection day 4: Expectations were high for Dhadak 2, the Hindi language remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. The film, helmed by Shazia Iqbal and starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in lead roles, received mostly positive reviews upon its release. However, that has not turned into box office numbers as the film continues to struggle amid other new releases. (Also read: Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 box office report card: Which sequel fared better over the weekend?) Dhadak 2 box office collection day 4: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri shared screen space for the first time in the film. Dhadak 2 box office update As per the latest update on Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 collected ₹1.04 crore on its fourth day of release (as per early estimates), its lowest so far. A dip in collection on Monday is expected, but that has hurt the momentum of the film, especially given that the film has not shown considerable growth during the weekend. Its highest single-day collections were recorded on Sunday, with ₹ 4.15 crore. The overall collection now stands at ₹ 12.44 crore. Dhadak 2 had an overall 12.75% Hindi Occupancy on Monday. Dhadak 2 is facing stiff competition from multiple releases, including Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2, animation epic Mahavatar Narsimha, and the blockbuster Saiyaara. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 is a standalone sequel to the 2018 Dhadak. However, it is not connected to the original narrative or characters. It tells the tale of a law student who falls for his classmate, only for her family to harass him due to caste differences. It is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Zee Studios and Cloud 9 Pictures. Dhadak 2 was initially slated to hit the big screen in November 2024, but it experienced several delays following the reported hurdles with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). These hurdles were resolved only recently after the makers agreed to significant cuts and modifications to the film.

Rihanna's Fenty Beauty to enter Indian beauty stores Credit: Instagram/fentybeauty Rihanna fans and beauty enthusiasts, rejoice! Pop sensation Rihanna's brands Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin are officially launching on Tira and Sephora India on August 7, 2025 Fenty's makeup and skincare products will be available at Sephora India and Tira stores and websites. Credit: Instagram/badgalriri She shared the exciting update on her Instagram handle on August 4. Over 50 stores across 16 cities will also stock the products. This, however, is not the first time that Indians would be able to buy Fenty's coveted products from the comfort of their homes. They were available on Nykaa Global Store (now not available) and also Fenty's official website. However, ordering from Fenty Beauty's website includes an additional shipping charge of over Rs 1,000 for delivery within 7–11 business days. For express delivery (within 5–8 days), the charge exceeds ₹2,000. Even Nykaa used to charge an additional shipping fee of Rs 500. The move to bring it to Sephora and Tira is Rihanna's way to "making it easier for more people to experience the products". Though further details are yet to be revealed, beauty buyers may benefit from faster delivery and possibly no additional shipping charges now. Fenty Beauty made waves for its hyper-inclusive shade range and Rihanna's exceptional foundation formula. Now it iconic range of products also includes lip luminzers and highlighers. The big business move by Rihanna testifies India as a key market player in the global beauty industry, and an increased appetite for luxury in the region. The move also comes over a year after Rihanna performed (her first performance after a 8-year hiatus) at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding celebrations in Jamnagar.
