Published by Parlour News

A Bengaluru tenant has detailed a sour move-out experience with his landlord, sparking a discussion around rental disputes and deposit deductions in the city. In a post titled “My landlord went from birthday buddy to UN-level auditor in 20 months”, the tenant recounted how a seemingly cordial relationship with his landlord took a turn when he vacated the flat after nearly 2 years.

Shared cake. Smiled. Trusted each other,” he said. However, the user said that things changed during the move-out process. After handing over the keys and showing …

Project Hail Mary movie review: Ryan Gosling finds an unlikely ‘buddy’ in deep space; delivers the feel-good sci-fi we needed | Bollywood News

Who doesn’t want to be friends with Ryan Gosling, the actor in whom warmth and humour seem to lie just under the surface? Why should an alien life form be immune? And that’s both the strength and weakness of this film based on a book by the same name by author Andy Weir (also the writer of The Martian). What starts off as a scientific mission to save the Sun – and hence the Earth – from “astrophages” which are eating away at it, requiring the world to pool its resources together and send a spacecraft to a solar system more than 11.8 light years away – on what is a one-way, and hence suicidal, mission – is, at the heart of it, essentially a feel-good buddy movie. Feel good you will, and good – as we hear – is not the enemy of the perfect. The film also imagines space as something genuinely beautiful, pure, raw and untouched, not an expanse of unknown terrors where things go very, very wrong, very, very quickly, that …

Sanjay Dutt abused; Kader Khan nearly drowned after argument; Salman Khan was scared: Inside Govinda’s chaotic buddy comedies | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

At his peak in the 1990s and early 2000s, Govinda wasn’t just delivering hit after hit — he was giving Hindi cinema some of the most memorable buddy comedies it has seen till date. At one point, Govinda and Kader Khan were inseparable, starring together in multiple hits like Aankhen, Coolie No. 1, Saajan Chale Sasural, Hero No. 1, Dulhe Raja and more. However, his films with Sanjay Dutt — Haseena Maan Jaayegi, Jodi No. 1 and Ek Aur Ek Gyarah — continue to make fans laugh and offer the warm comfort of watching a friendship unfold on the big screen. While Govinda’s crackling chemistry with his co-stars kept audiences laughing, behind the scenes there were chaotic shoot schedules, explosive tempers, delays and moments of kindness — dramatic enough to be a movie in themselves. On Govinda’s birthday, let’s take a look at some of the most memorable behind-the-scenes instances. When Sanjay Dutt abused Govinda Govinda and Sanjay Dutt starred in three films together. While they came across as best buddies on screen, their off-screen …

Published by Webster

A six-year-old kid accompanies his parents to deliver a wedding invite to their relatives. The father is dragged into playing chess against his eight-year-old nephew there. The pre-teen flexes his novice knowledge of the game and checkmates his uncle in every game on his fancy chess board – one where the pieces are carved in shape of animals. The six-year-old watches all this from the sidelines. The animals moving over the board catch his fancy. They return home and the kid asks his father for a chess set. He can’t find the fancy chess board and buys a normal one instead. The kid is hooked to the game. The six-year-old is Pranav Venkatesh – India’s newly crowned chess world champion. Pranav, now 18, ended India’s 17-year long wait as he won the 2025 FIDE World Junior Chess Championships in Montenegro on Friday. He is only the fourth Indian after Viswanathan Anand (1987), Pentala Harikrishna (2004), and Abhijeet Gupta (2008) to lift the title. The win also means Pranav now holds three world titles at the …

When This Comedy Legend Almost Played Buddy Hobbs In Elf Before Will Ferrell Made It Iconic

Published by Parlour News

Did You Know Jim Carrey Almost Played Buddy In Will Ferrell’s Elf? (Photo Credit – Prime Video) Elf without Will Ferrell feels impossible, right? His silly charm, wide-eyed wonder, and laugh-out-loud lines made it a holiday favorite. But guess what? He wasn’t even the first pick for Buddy! In the early ‘90s, when Elf was just a Hollywood daydream, another comedy icon was set to play Buddy. That actor had a chaotic energy, a super-expressive face, and a history of playing quirky characters. It seemed like a perfect fit (until it wasn’t). By the time Elf got made, the first-choice actor was long gone, leaving the role wide open. That twist of fate brought in Ferrell, and the rest is history. But who nearly became Buddy Hobbs? And would Elf still be the same holiday gem if that had happened? Let’s rewind to where it all began. Another Comedy Legend Who Almost Played Buddy Before Will Ferrell Before Will Ferrell brought Buddy Hobbs to life, Elf had another star in mind. That star is none …

National Tourism Day: Tisca Chopra, Divya Dutta, Abhishek Banerjee recall their first solo and buddy trips

Abhishek Banerjee Divya Dutta, Abhishek Banerjee The first trip I ever took was to Vaishno Devi, right after graduating from 12th standard. I went with my friend, who is now a senior advocate. He was the more street smart Delhi boy and I was the more simple Bengali boy. He actually suggested the trip to pray for our results. I remember we stayed in Jammu at a Dharamshala, and ate some amazing food. We did the trek to Vaishno Devi temple and sought blessings. That three days trip made me fall in love with the hills. Since then, I make sure to head to the mountains whenever I can. Unfortunately, we didn’t have camera phones then, so the memories are etched in our minds rather than the camera. Sharib Hashmi The first time I went on a trip with my buddies was in 2009. All thrifty, we went to Pushkar first and then Punjab, and from Punjab, we went to Manali. All the three places had such different and amazing energies. We got to experience …
