3 min readNew Delhi, PuneJun 14, 2026 01:20 AM IST A YEAR after they walked past the symbolic Antim Pag — the final step — at the National Defence Academy in Pune, the first batch of 17 women cadets trained at the NDA was commissioned on Saturday as officers, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of women’s participation in military service.

4 min readNew DelhiMar 18, 2026 09:10 PM IST Harshvardhan Rane made his big comeback in the movies when his film Sanam Teri Kasam re-released in the theatres last year and proved to be a massive hit at the box office. As soon as Sanam Teri Kasam made it big, director Milap Zaveri decided to capitalise on Harshvardhan’s fame and make his next film Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat with the actor. The film clashed against Dinesh Vijan’s Thamma on Diwali and managed to make around Rs 79 crore at the domestic box office, as per trade tracker Sacnilk. In a new interview, Milap shared that the film’s collection was at least 3-4 times more than what they invested in the film, which presumably makes it a bigger hit than Thamma, which made Rs 134 crore at the domestic box office. Thamma starred Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna and was the next chapter in Vijan’s horror universe. ‘Abhishek Bachchan said yes to Ek Deewane ki Deewaniyat’ In a chat with Vishal Malhotra on his YouTube channel, …
