Chand Mera Dil review: Lakshya-Ananya Panday’s romance drama is frustrating, flawed, yet rewarding – just like love

Chand Mera Dil Director: Vivek Soni Cast: Lakshya, Ananya Panday Rating: ★★.5 What happened after Simran boarded the train, dripping with love for Raj in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge? Life. Life happened. Marriage, responsibilities, children…you get the drift. And that, in one line, is Chand Mera Dil, which talks about how love is tested in different ways. Chand Mera Dil review: The romance drama stars Lakshya and Ananya Panday. The premise The story revolves around Chandni (Ananya Panday) and Aarav (Lakshya), who meet at a college in Hyderabad, fall in love, and soon find themselves dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. She decides to keep the child, the two get married and…it all goes downhill from there. One argument, born out of mounting frustration, turns physical, and what follows is best discovered when you watch the film yourself. Directed by Vivek Soni (also the writer), I have got to give Chand Mera Dil one thing: it’s consistent. The first 30 minutes make you facepalm just as hard as the last 30. Love stories are meant to …

Tiger Shroff opens up about struggling with aerophobia; says he starts feeling anxious a couple of days before every flight: ‘It’s frustrating’ | Bollywood News

3 min readKochiMar 30, 2026 09:31 PM IST Unlike actor Jackie Shroff, who rose to fame and became a star playing a wide range of characters across various languages, his son, Tiger Shroff, has mostly grabbed attention for his action roles. 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. As a result, he is known for maintaining a ripped, gym-honed physique almost all the time. Although he is often appreciated by fans for his ability to effortlessly ace stunts, including even the riskiest ones, on screen, did you know that Tiger has aerophobia? That’s right; the daring, adventurous actor actually has an extreme fear of flying in an aeroplane. In a recent interview, Tiger opened up about this and shared that he is contemplating starting therapy to address the condition. “I’m actually planning to go to a therapist because I have aerophobia. A couple of years ago, I …

Badminton Asia Championship: Frustrating losses for Sindhu, Kiran George and Priyanshu Rajawat | Badminton News

Badminton Asia Championship: Frustrating losses for Sindhu, Kiran George and Priyanshu Rajawat | Badminton News

Of India’s singles lot at the Badminton Asia Championship, Kiran George probably raised the most hopes. Though PV Sindhu dragged Akane Yamaguchi to three sets at Ningbo, China, and announced her intent to stay on the hamster wheel, till she could sneak out a Top 10 scalp or two and hit the next gear. But frustration was the theme of India’s remaining singles in the Round of 16 as none managed to make the quarterfinals. Indian singles hasn’t really had anything to celebrate since HS Prannoy’s World Championship bronze in 2023 and Lakshya Sen’s Olympic semifinals. But Thursday was particularly aggravating for Indian reactions to routine swatting aside by Top 10 opponents. Prannoy and Lakshya Sen had lost on Day 1. The fight has gone out of Indian singles, and neither Sindhu’s flickering aggression as she struck the shuttle high to push the pace, nor Kiran’s persistent and consistency undone at the finish almost casually by Kunlavut Vitidsarn, offered any hope of things improving for India. The Sudirman Cup incoming storm looks ominous, with the …

‘Frustrating and disappointing’: Shadab Khan on allegations of being favoured by father-in-law Saqlain Mushtaq | Cricket News

Pakistan allrounder Shadab Khan said that he was frustrated with repeated allegations thrown around about him being favoured due to his father-in-law Saqlain Mushtaq’s influence. Saqlain, who is one of the five mentors appointed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) last year, was also the head coach of the national team at one point and works at the National Cricket Academy. “It is frustrating and disappointing to hear such things because my career is nearly seven years long. I have given some good performances since debuting for Pakistan. Yes I am learning a lot from Saqlain Mushtaq because of his strong cricket coaching background. But it does not mean he is doing me favours,” Shadab told the media in Rawalpindi. “It hurts when the connection with Saqlain Mushtaq is repeatedly brought up. I have been trying to improve my bowling by working with my father-in-law because I consider myself more beneficial to the team as a bowler than a batter,” Shadab added.

‘Been a frustrating season so far’

‘Been a frustrating season so far’

The Chennai Super Kings slumped to their fourth defeat in a row, losing to the Punjab Kings on Tuesday. The latest defeat leaves them in ninth spot in the Indian Premier League standings with two points against their name and a net run rate of -0.889. Notably, this was also CSK’s fourth loss while chasing a target in IPL 2025. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming found some positives in the defeat, but admitted that the run of results had been “frustrating”. They fell 18 runs shorts of the target of 220 set by Punjab Kings. While the batting order has idled in second gear, Fleming did point that they had been profligate in the field (CSK have dropped at least 11 catches in five IPL 2025 matches). “It (has been) a frustrating season so far,” Fleming told journalists after the defeat at Mullanpur. “The catching has been poor, but it was poor from both sides. Whether it was something in the light, I’m not sure, but certainly for us that was an area of concern. …

“Frustrating, Poor”: ‘Concerned’ CSK Coach Stephen Fleming Pinpoints Reason Behind Defeat

“Frustrating, Poor”: ‘Concerned’ CSK Coach Stephen Fleming Pinpoints Reason Behind Defeat

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming was scathing while assessing the fielding effort from his side and hopeful following an improved batting display against Punjab Kings on Tuesday night as they slumped to their fourth defeat on the trot in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The Super Kings were tilting at windmills in the field, fluffing up match-defining opportunities. CSK’s tragic story of dropped chances continued, and two of those allowed Priyansh Arya to break the shackles and wallop to a 39-ball century. Khaleel Ahmed was guilty of being caught and bowled in the very first over on a score of six, while Mukesh Choudhary floored it at long-off in the 12th off Ravichandran Ashwin when Arya was batting with belligerence on 73. The story of missed chances just didn’t end there for CSK. The five-time champions paid through the nose after Shashank Singh, who was going about the business with his usual explosive ways, earned a second lifeline when Ravindra dropped a sitter off Noor Ahmad at deep midwicket …

Australia Spinner Reveals ‘Frustrating Part’ About Virat Kohli After Champions Trophy Heroics

Australia Spinner Reveals ‘Frustrating Part’ About Virat Kohli After Champions Trophy Heroics

Batting stalwart Virat Kohli can be a bowler’s nightmare when on song and his repertoire of strokes make it nearly impossible to “build pressure on him”, said Australian spinner Ashton Agar following another masterclass from the Indian ace in the Champions Trophy semifinal. Kohli added to his match-winning unbeaten century against Pakistan in the group stage by slamming a fluent 84 against Australia in Dubai to guide India into the final of the marquee tournament. “It is not the damage that he can do to the fence, it’s just the fact that you cannot build pressure on him. So it’s really hard to get him out in a sense. You never really feel like you’re on top of him unless the ball is really spinning. And you don’t get a lot of pitches in one-day cricket like that,” left-arm spinner Agar, who has taken 79 wickets across formats for Australia, said on ESPNcricinfo’s Match Day. Kohli’s ability to find the gaps and squeezing ones and twos with ease too drew praise from the …
