Ayush Shetty defeated 21-8, 21-10 by Shi Yuqi at last, after a sensational week at BAC | Badminton News

4 min readApr 12, 2026 06:31 PM IST One of the harshest realizations for Ayush Shetty amidst all the elation of a fantastic week, will be that big tournament finals like the Badminton Asia Championships, don’t come along every now and then. Or that his 21-8, 21-10 demolition by Shi Yuqi, deserved more resistance on his part. Chinese World champion Shi Yuqi, who first reached the BAC finals in 2019, had to wait seven more years to get there again and finally win, at 30. A pandemic, a year-long soft-ban for discipline, two Olympic exits, and a video clip of a nasty toe-blister that he showed the world on TV scandalising his federation, caused one right kerkuffle, before he got a second chance in 2026, converting this one. Ayush’s new training buddy, PV Sindhu, could tell him similar stuff about Olympic finals – stars just font align that often even if you start at 20-21. Ayush’s clump of unforced errors in the first set at the BAC Ningbo finals against Shi Yuqi, might get glossed …

Sarvam Maya Kerala Box Office Day 1: Nivin Pauly’s horror-comedy records sensational opening, grosses Rs 3.50 crore

Malayalam film Sarvam Maya, starring Nivin Pauly in the lead role, recorded a banger start at the box office. Estimates suggest that the movie grossed around Rs. 3.50 crore on its opening day at the Kerala box office, which is Nivin Pauly’s career best solo start. The movie had promising advance sales for Day 1, which already indicated a good start. Moreover, the movie also benefited from the Christmas Day holiday in Kerala.  Written and directed by Akhil Sathyan, Sarvam Maya received a positive reception so far among the audience, which means the movie is set for a favourable run at the box office. Since Malayalam movies work well during the Christmas-New Year period, Sarvam Maya is expected to be the top choice among the audience from today onwards.  Besides Sarvam Maya, Mohanlal’s period film, Vrusshabha, also hit the big screens today. However, it turned out to be a big misfire at the box office. While Vrusshabha has already sealed its fate, the Nivin Pauly film will have to stand tall against the holdover releases- …

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh film puts up a sensational Monday in India

Dhurandhar Box Office: Ranveer Singh film puts up a sensational Monday in India

Dhurandhar is looking to put up an estimated Rs. 21 crore nett for its first Monday in India. On its face value, this is a sensational hold, down just 15 per cent from its opening day and 45 per cent from Sunday. The film showcased a very strong trend during the weekend, so a hold like this was expected. That said, it’s one thing to be expected and altogether another to actually deliver that. The four-day total box office numbers stand at Rs. 111 crore nett approx. There is no discount day tomorrow, so the film may not see a jump as has been the case recently, or maybe it will because some of the extra audience may turn up for cheaper tickets, as the habit has been cultivated. The first week is going to be around Rs. 160 crore or more, which is a very good number, even more so with a superb trend. Now that’s what it is on face value. How much the collections really are? It’s unclear. There is still feeding involved …
