Toxic (Hindi) Advance Booking Box Office: Yash starrer set to take a flying start; Sells 30,000 tickets in National Chains

Published by Parlour News

After KGF Chapter 2, Yash is returning to the big screens with Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups next weekend. The movie opened advance booking this morning, and the initial reports seem extraordinary. As of 4 PM (Thursday, August 21), the Yash starrer sold over 30,000 tickets in the top national chains, PVR Inox and Cinepolis, for the opening day in North India. That’s a superb start.  With 5 days still to go for the release, the Geethu Mohandas-directed film has the potential to smash phenomenal sales before the premiere show, depending on whether the film maintains the same pace. Considering the pre-sales, the movie is all set for a solid opening at the Hindi box office, somewhere in the vicinity of Rs. 40-50 crore.   The fate of Toxic will be crucial for Yash as he is returning to screens after a long gap of 4 years. The film boasts an ensemble cast that includes Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, Akshaye Oberoi, and others. Mounted on a huge scale, Toxic is a …

Fans feel Ramayana English trailer outdoes OG Hindi, foreign viewers awestruck by flawless lip sync, flying elephants

Last month, Namit Malhotra, the producer of Ramayana, announced that Sony, the global giant, had come on board as the worldwide distributor for the Nitesh Tiwari epic. On Wednesday, the first fruit of that collaboration was unveiled as an English-dubbed trailer. The trailer, aimed at a non-Indian audience, features all-English dialogue, accentuated by AI-led lip sync, which has already wowed viewers. Ranbir Kapoor in a still from the Ramayana English trailer. ‘English dub is better than original Hindi’ The English-language trailer for Ramayana uses Brahma AI to sync the performers’ lip movements with the new dub. The actors seem to have dubbed the lines themselves, but it’s possible the voices were matched using AI tools. None of this deterred the viewers, though. One wrote, “English dub is better than the original Hindi too. Just compare the texture of Ravana’s voice, you’ll know.” Another quipped, “It is diabolical for the English dub to sound better than the Hindi trailer!” There was special praise for the Brahma AI technology DNEG has developed for the film to make …

Mayank Yadav passes first Test with flying colours, but bigger challenges await

Mayank Yadav passes first Test with flying colours, but bigger challenges await

Published by Webster

5 min readJul 24, 2026 08:00 PM IST When Mayank Yadav dismissed Brian Bennett with the very first ball of Zimbabwe’s innings on Thursday, it felt like time had stood still. The 24-year-old was doing precisely what made him one of India’s most promising pace prospects — only, a little later than expected. Bowling at close to 150 kph, hitting hard lengths and unsettling batsmen — traits that had earned Mayank the distinction of being special. By the time his spell ended, Mayank had figures of 2/18 from four overs, which was enough for him to win the Player of the Match on his return to international cricket after 21 months. His first delivery had kissed the outside edge of Bennett’s bat at 149 kph. He hurried Dion Myers with extra bounce before inducing a miscued pull, with the speed gun repeatedly flashing 147, 146, 145, 144 and 143 kph. Even at the death, he mixed in slower deliveries of 137 and 116 kph to show that there is now more to his bowling than …

After flying as weapons, eggs now land at centre of Bengal’s mid-day meal row

Published by Parlour News

West Bengal’s new BJP regime decided this week to drop eggs from the school mid-day meal menu in Kolkata, at a time when eggs have been making headlines ever since Mamata Banerjee’s TMC rule ended after 15 years last month. Members of the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) hold eggs during a protest at the Kolkata Municipal Corporation head office. (Aloke Dey/ANI Photo) Eggs have been thrown at TMC leaders across the state, and the party’s deepening succession battle has become entangled with the two stories around eggs or “non-vegetarian” food in general. During the recent election campaign too, dietary habits became a major political battleground when the then CM Mamata Banerjee warned voters that the BJP would ban fish, meat, and eggs if they came to power, pointing to similar restrictions in other BJP-ruled states. Understanding the deep cultural significance of non-vegetarian food in Bengal, Union home minister Amit Shah dismissed her claims as rumours, explicitly promising that the consumption of fish and eggs would not be stopped. Senior BJP leader Anurag Thakur …
