Right from the first episode, he set the tone for what was to be expected. One might argue he didn’t follow through on the promise, but here are five times he successfully rage-baited the audience. Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney play Nate and Cassie in Euphoria. (HBO Max) Faye swallowing drugs and losing bowel control Right in episode one, we’re told that Rue (Zendaya) and Faye (Chloe Cherry) are now drug mules for Laurie (Martha Kelly). Not only do we get a gross, drawn-out scene of both of them struggling to swallow balloons filled with drugs, but later Zendaya is given a strainer to poop out the drugs while Faye loses bowel control.

Kriti Sanon on response to Tere Ishk Mein: Love is overwhelming; like a painting, everyone looks at cinema differently

One can hear the joy in her voice. Kriti Sanon is riding a wave of acclaim-both from the box office and the love pouring in for Tere Ishk Mein (TIM). With Cocktail 2 and Don 3 up next, she’s clearly in a strong season. Excerpts from a conversation: Kriti Sanon You’ve been everywhere with TIM-theatre visits, housefull shows. How does this success feel? It’s extremely overwhelming. The film has received so much love. I, as an actor, have received so much love. It’s rare for a film to get great reviews, critical acclaim for performances, and strong box office numbers. I’m getting all of it at the same time. I couldn’t have asked for more. It’s also rare for both the male and female leads to get equal limelight, instead of the male star walking away with it. Was that refreshing? Very refreshing. When I read the film, on paper Shankar (played by Dhanush) had the punches, the lines, he seemed to be leading a lot of things. But the layers of Mukti were somewhere …
