Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 29: If nostalgia had a town, it would probably look like Derry — quiet streets, polite smiles, and something deeply unsettling humming beneath the surface. HBO’s latest horror series, It: Welcome to Derry, now streaming on JioCinema and Max, takes us back to Stephen King’s most infamous zip code — but long before the Losers Club ever faced off with Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Directed and produced by Andy Muschietti (the mind behind the 2017 and 2019 It films), the prequel arrives with daunting expectations and a balloon full of hype. It’s visually arresting, narratively ambitious, and at times, emotionally hollow — a technically accomplished yet uneven return to a world where fear isn’t just supernatural, it’s social. The Return to Derry — A Town Tha...

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 25: If you thought October was spooky only because of Halloween, wait till you see your OTT watchlist. This month, streaming platforms across India and beyond have unleashed a barrage of fresh titles — horror, biopics, rom-coms, thrillers, documentaries, even philosophical dramas that might make you question your subscription choices.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 25: Hollywood has a long-standing obsession — turning bestselling novels into cinematic sensations. Sometimes it works (The Fault in Our Stars), sometimes it falls flat (After We Collided). Somewhere in between lands, Regretting You — the much-anticipated adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel that promised tears, tension, and tenderness… and delivered about two-thirds of that. With Allison Williams leading the cast and Hoover’s diehard fandom ensuring early buzz, the film entered theatres with expectations higher than its emotional payoff. It’s not a disaster — just that rare film that’s beautiful to look at, but occasionally hollow at its core. The Story: When Love, Loss, and Teen Rebellion Collide At its heart, Regretting You is a story about a mother...

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 25: There’s never a dull moment in the world of regional cinema, and Chaniya Toli is living proof of that. The Yash Soni-led Gujarati film has burst onto screens with a spirited blend of rural comedy, social commentary, and a heist plot that feels both familiar and fresh. But while the early box-office fireworks are real, there are hints it might be more of a flash in the pan than a steady blaze. A Record-Breaking Opening (and a Rocky Road Thereafter) Chaniya Toli opened on 21 October 2025 and immediately turned heads — with an estimated ₹ 1.20 cr net on day one, according to Sacnilk. The reception was surprisingly strong for a Tuesday, with overall Gujarati occupancy reaching 41.79% across major centres like Ahmedabad, Surat, and Gandhinagar. In fact,...

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 17: In the glitzy pre-Diwali race to captivate audiences, the forthcoming film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat arrives with a heady mix of high emotion, big musings on love and obsession, and — ironically — a run into bureaucratic hurdles. On paper, the film appears to tick many boxes: a leading man in Harshvardhan Rane, a rising actress in Sonam Bajwa, a director with a flair for drama in Milap Zaveri, and ambitious marketing that screams “epic love story”. Yet behind the promotional sheen lies a more complex narrative: one of creative ambition meeting regulatory constraint, of emotional intensity courting mass-market uncertainty. The Movie: What to Expect Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is billed as a romantic drama that explores the slippery slope from adoration ...
