Outfit Rewind: Why Naina Talwar’s Fashion Wardrobe Still Owns 2026

Outfit Rewind: Why Naina Talwar’s Fashion Wardrobe Still Owns 2026

Bollywood always dictates what India wears. At weddings, colleges or casual mall outings, it is all about channelling our favourite characters or taking notes to turn drab outfits into showstopper ones. And fashion, like cinema, evolves. Trends that once defined entire generations now sit somewhere between nostalgia and “what were we thinking?”Welcome to Outfit Rewind, where we put iconic film looks through a very Gen Z filter, categorising them into – Still Slaps or Absolutely Not. And today, we discuss Deepika Padukone’s Naina Talwar from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. At the outset, Naina comes across as a quintessential nerd. She is drawn to soft pastels, rarely seen without her spectacles and perfectly content spending time with her beloved books. But she also floored us with her capabilities to turn the tables with her fashion game later in the movie. The pre-glow-up: Soft girl academia before it was a thing Before the transformation montage kicks in, Naina’s look is rooted in simplicity. Think, cotton dresses, breathable fabric and muted tones. It is functional, yes, but never …

Brad Pitt Didn’t Just Star in Ocean’s Eleven, He Helped Turn It Into a Box Office Powerhouse! [Box Office Rewind]

Brad Pitt Didn’t Just Star in Ocean’s Eleven ( Photo Credit – Prime Video ) When Ocean’s Eleven rolled the dice in 2001, it wasn’t just another glitzy heist movie. It was Brad Pitt’s masterclass in how to steal scenes without breaking a sweat. Sure, the cast was stacked with Hollywood royalty, Clooney, Roberts, Damon, but Pitt? He was the secret weapon. As Rusty Ryan, he didn’t just play second-in-command; he became the smooth-talking, snack-munching soul of the film. His effortless charm turned what could’ve been a one-off into a cultural reset for cool. But Pitt wasn’t just there for the close-ups; he was instrumental behind the scenes too, helping shape the vibe, chemistry, and laid-back wit that made Ocean’s Eleven a genre-defining hit. It wasn’t just a reboot, it was a Brad Pitt blueprint. The kind of star power that makes a movie sparkle before the first line is even delivered.

HT Rewind 2024: Sohum Shah felt Tumbbad didn’t get ‘justice’ in original run, re-release gave him ‘closure’ | Exclusive | Bollywood

2024 can rightly be called the year of re-releases. Over two dozen Hindi films re-released in theatres this year, ranging from old Raj Kapoor classics like Awara and Barsaat to Shah Rukh Khan’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. But it wasn’t just hits of the past that returned to the theatres, allowing modern audiences to experience them on the big screen. At least two cult classics that had flopped when they first released return to ‘correct’ their destiny. Both Laila Majnu and Tumbbad managed that, with the latter becoming the most successful Hindi re-release at the box office. As the year draws to a close, the film’s lead actor and producer, Sohum Shah, looks back at the phenomenon and his biggest learnings from it.
