In a courtroom drama worthy of the silver screen, the explosive Rs30,000 crore inheritance battle over the estate of late tycoon Sunjay Kapur has entered a high-voltage new phase. On Thursday, a judicial order sent shockwaves through Delhi’s power circles and Bollywood’s inner sanctum as the court mandated forensic and handwriting analysis of the controversial Will that could decide control of a sprawling corporate empire.

Letterboxd’s Top 500 sparks debate over Indian Cinema’s limited presence

Film enthusiasts across social media have reacted strongly after Letterboxd unveiled its latest Top 500 Films list, with just nine Indian titles making the cut. The rankings, based on user ratings on the platform, have triggered debate about representation, global reach and how cinema is evaluated online. Among the Indian films featured are RRR, 3 Idiots and 12th Fail, along with entries from Satyajit Ray’s Apu Trilogy. While some welcomed the inclusions, many questioned the omissions.

Even the presence of certain newer films sparked discussion. One commenter remarked, “All are deserved, but we are definitely not represented enough,” suggesting the issue wasn’t individual titles but the overall number. Another debate centered around RRR, with a...

The Prime Minister met members of the internationally acclaimed anti-terror drama and later posted the photograph on social media on the second day of his visit, February 26.
