Entertainment Live Updates: Achyut Potdar, ‘3 Idiots’ Iconic Professor Passes Away At 91, Last Rites On August 19

Decades of roles, reinventions, setbacks, and comebacks have only polished the legend. But even wine, no matter how rare, doesn’t escape the hands of time.

In a recent reflection, Amitabh got real. The kind of reality that most people  rarely show. He spoke about something so ordinary, yet so deeply personal, using handle bars at home to steady himself, wearing trousers while sitting down because doctors told him it’s safer. And that tiny, universal moment we all dread, struggling to pick up a fallen piece of paper.

It hit home. Because no matter how powerful, how loved, how revered, you can’t outwalk age forever. You can surely delay the effects by being true and honest to your body, but it will show. 

Rajesh Khanna was a man of many faces, charming hero, moody recluse, complex lover, it’s been over a decade now since the nation lost it India’s first true Bollywood superstar.

 But the stories surrounding his personal life still refuse to fade. Now, Anita Advani, who once called herself his companion, is bringing old news back yet again, she says they were secretly married.

It was not a huge celebration, as said by Anita Advani. She says it happened at home, quietly, just the two of them. “He put a mangal sutra around my neck, applied sindoor in my hair, and said, ‘From today, you are my responsibility.’” For her, that moment was everything. “It wasn’t just love,” she says. “We were husband and wife in every sense that mattered.”

While the producers are hoping to keep the curiosity of the fans alive, Asit Kumarr Modi, the producer of Taarak Mehta, has now introduced the Ratan-Roopa family into Gokuldham Society. This lovely modern addition is all set to bring new storylines, cultural richness, and, of course, some more good old fun that hooks viewers till the very last second.

Fans would love to see how their lifestyle will mix with the other families of the society. But this twist is not being appreciated by some fans, one user commented, “Han ye thik hai likin pehele Daya bhabhi ko lao.” Annother one posted. “Bs ab tappu or jetha lal ko replace krne ki koshish ho rhi.”

The teaser of Thama just released on August 19, 2025, sending waves through Bollywood with promises of an eerie new villain. Thama is a blend of romance, horror and comedy, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Paresh Rawal, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

Again, the malignant voiceover of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his dialogue, ” Kya hua ruk kyun gaye,” stole the show. The 1.49 minute long clip was a roller coaster of adventure and spine chilling plot. From Malaika’s dance to Rashmika and Ayushmann’s lip lock, the teaser was a hot serve. Fans are already going crazy over the peak chemistry of the leads and Nawazuddin’s villian arc.

Ajay Devgn, the renowned Bollywood superstar, is gearing up to produce an action-packed, period movie mix creature film for Netflix India with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mohit Raina, scheduled to direct it under the first-time narrative of Neha Sharma. The film, set in 1945, promises an exciting infusion of historical drama into a creature-based thrill story. 

After being approached for a parallel lead with Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ajay Devgn declined to act as he stressed more theatrical releases over OTT. While Mohit Raina is going to fill in the role which was earlier offered to Devgn. Post-production is estimated to commence in October 2025.

Monday, it started to lose the rage it began with. The film earned only around ₹8.5 crore on its first Monday and it is a noticeable big drop from the weekend numbers.

The film managed to make  ₹183.25 crore in net domestic earnings over its opening five days, alongside a gross tally of ₹208.25 crore, and held up to  ₹274 crore worldwide The Hindi version led the charge, bringing in around ₹125.5 crore, with Jr NTR’s Telugu fanbase adding approximately ₹47.5 crore; the Tamil version, however, contributed just ₹1.2 crore

That’s still a big number, but with such a sharp fall so early, it’s got people wondering if the film will keep up in the coming days. While the Hindi version brought in most of the money, the Telugu version also did well thanks to Jr NTR’s massive fan base. The Tamil version didn’t bring in much.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is the hot topic of the town and has set the Indian box office ablaze, with Rs 206.50 crore gross including a whopping collection of Rs 12 crore on the fifth day. With Aamir Khan’s spicy cameo and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s full-on action thriller, this is going to be a blockbuster.

Day 5 made 50% occupancy in Chennai, while NCR witnessed an occupancy of 9.75%. The film had an overall 14.29% Hindi occupancy on August 18, 2025. Coolie continues to make history despite a 29.5% decline on day five, as it earned Rs 5.6 crore by 6:30 PM, overtaking War 2’s Rs 179.13 crore.
