Dragon Glimpse Review Ft. Jr NTR – I Am Expecting Him To Burn Box Office Records! (Photo Credit –YouTube) Usually, when a big-budget spectacle drops its first look, it is all about some chest-thumping dialogues and a hero looking like the god of the masses! But Prashanth Neel takes a totally different route with his upcoming biggie Dragon! Starring Jr NTR, the first glimpse of this film has dropped on the superstar’s birthday, and this glimpse is 4 minutes and 28 seconds long. But you will probably witness only 20 seconds of the RRR superstar! The rest of the glimpse sets up the premise, timeline, and backstory of this upcoming film in a very specific way, highlighting everything you should know. It is such a good decision to let you settle in this world, even before Prashanth Neel arrives with Jr NTR‘s deadliest avatar on screen! The glimpse of Dragon sets up the timeline of this film around post-1967 and the premise of the illegal opium production and trade! Everything about this glimpse is impressive. …

Vinesh Phogat vs wrestling system, and sadly the champion is on the mat

Vinesh Phogat vs wrestling system, and sadly the champion is on the mat

On that traumatic night before her gold-medal bout at the 2024 Olympics, a desperate Vinesh Phogat pleaded with the doctor to draw some blood out of her body. She had spent half an hour inside a 98 degree Celsius sauna, but sweat beads hadn’t surfaced on her severely dehydrated body. The coaches had cut her hair, even shortened her singlet, but still she weighed 57.1 kg — the stubborn extra 100 grams that eventually led to her disqualification weren’t being shed. Blood, sweat, a potential medical complication and even the possibility of permanent internal organ damage — Vinesh had risked everything to have a shot at a gold medal and history. She wasn’t going to let her country down. She would get sympathy and praise. The all-time great American wrestler Jordan Burroughs said Vinesh deserved a silver medal and that the weight rule needed to change. India’s top table tennis star Manika Batra would get emotional. “You’ve shown us what it means to chase dreams with passion and grace. India is proud to call you …

I will fetch you from school.’ That kind of just set my parameters of what language can do.” You are known to put your views bluntly. If your next book offended everyone a little, would you consider that success?I have a feeling that it will offend quite a few people, but my job is not to go around offending people.

Kunal Kemmu on Deepika Padukone’s 8-hour shift demand: ‘Mat bolo ki 12 ghante kaam kar ke aapse zyada salary le raha’

Last year, Deepika Padukone sparked a major discourse in Bollywood after she advocated for an 8-hour workday to support work-life balance and new mothers. That debate has resurfaced in a conversation on Soha Ali Khan‘s podcast, where she spoke with husband Kunal Kemmu and brother Saif Ali Khan. Kunal had some reservations on the subject and said that the demands would be great, but that would require a better look at one’s input in the first place. Kunal Kemmu has spoken on work-life balance. What Kunal said During the conversation, Soha said that nowadays the idea of work-life balance is much more in demand and is normalised, which was not the case a few years ago. Adding to this, Kunal said, “I feel that when we become 18 and when we are choosing governments of our country, we also have to choose what we want in life, what we signed up for. We sometimes say that we want to work for only so much time and want to spend time here… then you leave the …

3 min readUpdated: Mar 3, 2026 05:41 PM IST Sanju Samson finally found his feet in the T20 World Cup at probably the time when India needed a big knock from him the most. Samson’s unbeaten 97 in 50 balls played a leading role in India beating the West Indies in their final match of the Super Eights which helped them seal qualification to the semifinals. Samson had been caught in a bit of a rut for a while before that innings, which led to him being left out in quite a few of India’s matches in this tournament. After the innings against the West Indies, the International Cricket Council (ICC) put up a video on their social media handles for Samson and a clip from that has now gone viral. The clip shows former India captain Rohit Sharma, who is the ICC’s ambassador for this year’s tournament, giving a few words of encouragement to Samson ahead of India’s opening match against the USA. “Kaisa hai? Dukhi mat ho bhai. It is a long tournament, …
