Toxic, Dhurandhar 2, King, O’Romeo – Bollywood gets set for its testosterone-driven, expletives-aided, blood-ridden macho sagas
Bollywood is going through a massive change and really, one couldn’t quite see it coming. Post pandemic, KGF: Chapter 2 was the most bloody affair and even its 400 Crore Club success in Hindi didn’t quite prepare one for what lay ahead. I believe what really set the tone post that for a much wider phenomenon that also got accepted by the audience in a big way was Animal.

The zeal was there, but so were the trolls on mark, pushing the usual online ridicule. It all began after internet users noticed similarities between SRK’s and Brad Pitt’s style in F1.

Jaideep Ahlawat: The real ‘King’
Jaideep Ahlawat carved what ‘jaadu’ really looks like. Smashing our jaded everyday with his quirk very recently in the dance sequence, ‘Jaadu’ from Jewel Thief, Jaideep hurled that if ever the world tries to fit him into one parameter, he will always make a breakthrough out of it. Those smooth, jazzy moves, not getting out of our minds anytime soon, and maybe that could be—we are losing all of it on Jaideep Ahlawat, and his current dominance demands it. Left, right and centre. Jaideep Ahlawat’s rise has been quiet, | Click Here...
