The Chetak Screen Awards 2026 saw a big turn-out on the red carpet, even though most of the awards went to Aditya Dhar's blockbuster, Dhurandhar.
Where Dhurandhar leaned into aggressive bloodlust through its acerbic storytelling, Ikkis moves in the opposite direction, asking us to see people beyond uniforms, slogans, or sides, observes Mayur Sanap.
Bollywood took to the stage quite glamorously at IIFA Rocks, the event that kick-started the 20th edition of IIFA.
Merry Christmas has a breathtaking climax that will have you sighing like you've never sighed in a Sriram Raghavan movie before, applauds Sukanya Verma.
Love surrounded Divya Dutta as she launched her second book.
Bollywood's gorgeous ladies looked glamorous on the IIFA green carpet, but the men didn't disappoint either.
'You have to fight your own battles and I fought mine.'
Andhadhun is a stunning, comic, grisly, absurd, intense, cold, crazy and must-watch, raves Sukanya Verma.
'She is a very thoughtful actor.' 'She is in the industry not only because she is beautiful, but also because she is sensible.'
'I narrated the story to many top actors, but for some reason, they couldn't connect with the character of a blind pianist.'
Vice President Venkaiah Naidu presented the National Film Awards to the year's winners with actors Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana and Keerthy Suresh receiving top honours.
'The biggest success of Andhadhun is that viewers are thinking and debating about it. I didn't expect it,' Sriram Raghavan tells Ronjita Kulkarni/Rediff.com.
'Sriram Raghavan is mainstream Hindi cinema's greatest gift to us,' declares Sreehari Nair after watching the director's latest movie caper.
