Yesterday evening, the entire missing drama of Gurucharan Singh came to an end. The actor was not traceable for almost a month, but thankfully, nothing unfortunate happened, and the actor revealed that leaving his home was entirely his own decision, and it had a spiritual angle to it. As soon as the news went viral, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (Tmkoc) fans expressed their happiness, and even Gurucharan’s former co-star, Jennifer Mistry, reacted to the good news of his return.
After going missing for 25 days, Gurucharan returned home yesterday. Reportedly, during the police officials’ interrogation, he revealed that he left his home because he wanted to get rid of worldly life and was out on a religious journey. He also shared that he resided at Gurudwaras in several cities,...

Srikanth Box Office Collection Day 8: Almost Touches 20 Crores (Photo Credit –YouTube)
After being in theatres for 8 days, Srikanth has now almost touched 20 crores milestone. The film grew again on Friday with 1.67 crores coming in, and compared to Thursday collections of 1.43 crores, it’s nice to see an upswing in numbers for the Rajkummar Rao starrer.
This was always on the cards since the weekdays of the film were quite stable, with Monday collections standing at 1.69 crores and then the hold being good right till Thursday with 1.43 crores being collected. That had given a good enough indication that there would be a good rise in collections on the second weekend. In fact, while Friday has been stable, I expect the numbers to go up again. In fact, it won’t be surprising if collections go past the 3 crore mark today.

The sixth episode was the second-best episode of the season, after the Aamir Khan one. Sunny and Bobby Deol in the last episode elicited some genuine laughs from the audience and the viewers. For the first time, Sunny Deol seemed casual talking about his failures and successes over the years and how the Deol family had a stellar 2023, with each member delivering path-breaking record-shattering box offices at the cinemas. It was rare to find them comfortable in their own skin, which made the episode memorable, coupled with some intelligent gags put forward by every supporting actor on the show.

Ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Heeramandi dropped on Netflix, people have been sharing their arguments and disagreements with the show that is based in the 1920s and 1940s in Lahore.

What do we love most about TV shows? The answer is long, but pretty clear: a compelling story, complex characters with great backstories and strong arcs, good soundtracks, and let's not forget the visuals. The latter includes both effects and of course costumes and stuff.
And there’s no doubt that period dramas win the game when it comes about giving the viewers the best visuals. You wouldn't find another genre of series that will give you a better and more complicated and profound picture. Especially if the show is in any way about a particular ethnicity.
That's just one of the reasons India's latest Hindi-language Netflix drama has occupied #4 in the platform’s global top. Heeramandi is a period drama created and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

The lavish saga Heeramandi, from BAFTA-nominated director-composer Sanjay Leela Bhansali(Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas), tells the story of India’s elite tawaifs, or courtesans, living amid the fight for independence from British rule in the 1940s. As the courtesans entertain aristocrats, they scheme to fulfill their secret desires and clash against the powers that be. The epic Indian musical series stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, and Aditi Rao Hydari.

Back in 2019, on a visit to Los Angeles, celebrated Indian director Sanjay Leela Bhansali stopped in at the offices of Netflix. In his informal five-minute meeting with CEO Ted Sarandos, Bhansali pitched an idea — it would be an opulent tale of warring courtesans set amid India’s struggle for independence. Sarandos greenlit the project on the spot.
Now Bhansali’s Hindi-language series, “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,” is making its U.S. debut (episodes dropped on May 1). Spanning 1920 through 1947, the lavish story is set in the Heeramandi district of Lahore, British India, the milieu of the tawaifs. As with the geisha of Japan, tawaifs were trained in music and dance and courted by nobility. At the show’s center are Mallikajaan (Manisha Koirala), the scheming queen of Heeramandi, and her vindictive niece Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha), who has ambitions to take her aunt’s place.
The project’s development took somewhat longer than that Netflix visit.

From the moment the very first trailer for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Heeramandi” on Netflix arrived, it’s become increasingly difficult to ignore that a certain type of Indian actress has passed into extinction.
Since the dawn of Indian cinema, music and dance have been integral to the movie-going experience, with extra emphasis placed on the “heroine” — a leading lady who could not only carry a whole film as an actor, but also captivate the audience as a graceful, expressive dancer. Think of Hollywood corollaries like Judy Garland, Ginger Rogers, Doris Day — but if they were working well into the late 20th and even 21st century. It’s inherently wrapped up in India’s history of folk dance, which is always present at festivals or celebrations; and classical dance, which requires extensive training and was often a precursor to entering beauty pageants and the film industry. Heroines like Sridevi, Waheeda Rehman,...
