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. Gagan Deep Jindal, Joint Registrar (Judicial) of the Delhi High Court, gave the green light for independent scientific scrutiny of the disputed document, siding with a relentless campaign by Samaira and Kiaan Kapur, Kapur’s children from his marriage to screen icon Karisma Kapoor. Since November 2025, the siblings have demanded that the Will be subjected to expert examination, insisting that only forensic testing can answer swirling questions about how and when the document was created, and whether it truly reflects their father’s final wishes. The court also denie...

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. The absence of films by Guru Dutt and classics like Nayakan became a major talking point. “No Guru Dutt film and no Nayakan is just weird,” one user wrote, echoing a widely shared sentiment that landmark works of Indian cinema were overlooked. 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...

During his current visit to Israel, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a light-hearted selfie moment with the team of the globally popular Israeli web series Fauda. 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. Adding a touch of humour to the interaction, he wrote, “Thankfully, this interaction required only a selfie, no undercover work.” Over the years, Fauda has built a strong and loyal fan base in India, particularly among viewers drawn to its intense portrayal of counter-terror operations and complex political narratives.

Set against the backdrop of militancy in Kashmir, the series has carved out its own identity while staying rooted in the thematic core of the original. Many critics and viewers have praised Tanaav for successfully localisin...

Homegrown skincare brand, Foxtale has unveiled its latest campaign, celebrating the idea of “eternal glow”, featuring actor Sonali Bendre, long celebrated as a symbol of enduring radiance. The collaboration positions Sonali as the embodiment of radiance that transcends age, trends, and traditional beauty standards, as she fronts the brand’s Gluta-Vit C Advanced Brightening Serum. The campaign film takes an intimate, stripped-back storytelling approach, spotlighting Sonali’s natural luminosity, quiet strength, and evolved self-assurance. Rather than leaning into conventional tropes of youth-driven brightness, the narrative reframes glow as a reflection of resilience, self-belief, and consistency - qualities that define Sonali both on and off screen. The film opens in a serene, clinical-white setting where Sonali calmly refuses an offered cosmetic injection, followed by IV drips, syringes, fillers, glutathione shots - all rejected, establishing her stance on being selective about what ...

Like my workouts would've been more fun and less of a punishment if she were doing them with me. Like I need...

IMAX Corporation has outlined an aggressive global growth roadmap in its February 2026 Investor Presentation of Q4 2025, and India emerges as one of the most significant strategic pillars in that expansion.  This and much more interesting information were revealed in their quarterly report.
