Football World Cup has been driven to address fans who could find the 2026 spectacle overwhelming. FIFA announced that fans at the upcoming competition will be able to access a sensory room once they have entered the stadium footprint on matchday. According to a press release, these spaces are designed for people who experience “sensory overload – including individuals with autism, post-traumatic stress disorder, dementia, anxiety and other conditions – and will provide calming, supportive environments amid the buzz of the match-going crowd. FIFA quoted research indicating that an estimated 5% to 16.5% of people experience sensory processing needs. “For fans who experience sensory overload, the intensity of live sporting events – including the high energy of the crowd, sudden cheers and ongoing movement – can make attending feel overwhelming or inaccessible. This initiative looks to change that, marking an important evolution in how global sporting events serve diverse audiences.” Sensory rooms, …

The meteoric rise of satirical digital outfit Cockroach Janta Party on social media has left the parents of its founder, Abhijeet Dipke, overwhelmed by fears that he could land in trouble or even face arrest. The outfit, now popular as CJP, has garnered over 19 million followers on Instagram since it was founded barely a week ago by Boston University student Dipke, earlier associated with the Aam Aadmi Party. His parents Bhagwan and Anita Dipke, who live in Maharashtra`s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, told a Marathi news channel on Thursday that they were not keen on letting their son enter politics. The parents said they have lost their sleep after learning about Abhijeet`s move.

Starting from his debut movie, director Sabbir Khan’s Heropanti (2014), Tiger has primarily played power-packed characters in films such as War, Heropanti 2, Ganapath, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Singham Again, and the four Baaghi movies.

For months, India’s footballers waited for the domestic season – which had been on pause for nine months – to resume. When it was finally announced on Tuesday that the Indian Super League, the top division, would kick off on February 14, there was relief. But it quickly gave way to more anxiety. Multiple clubs have now asked the players to take a salary cut of up to 25 per cent as the owners find ways to cut costs ahead of a truncated season. The proposed new structure is set to have 72 fewer matches than the 2024-’25 season. An Indian player said the clubs are asking a ‘plain yes or no, without discussing the details’ of the revised salary structure. The player added that the clubs have told them that if they do not ‘understand the situation, then we might not play in the league’. Indian men’s football is wading through its biggest crisis in decades. While the national team’s fortunes have plummeted, having failed to qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup, the domestic …

Updated on: Dec 31, 2025 11:06 am IST The Hollywood box office reported earnings of over $8 billion this year, just 1.2% up from 2024, and way below the pre-pandemic highs. A lot had been expected of 2025 in terms of Hollywood box office performance. There were some huge releases, such as the final Mission Impossible film and Avatar: Fire and Ash. In the middle of the year, horror found a lease of life with Sinners and other hits. And Zootopia hit it out of the park, along with A Minecraft Movie. Yet, the success of these films was not enough to assuage fears of takeovers, shutdowns, and more in an anxious year for Hollywood. Avatar Fire and Ash did well at the box office, but not enough to lift the industry out of doldrums. Tepid growth for Hollywood box office in 2025 The year saw tepid growth for Hollywood films in North America in 2025, with cinemas struggling to recover to pre-pandemic sales levels.
