Mumbai, August 18 - Ektaa Kapoor is set to take her hugely popular Naagin franchise beyond television, with the iconic supernatural series now reportedly being developed for the big screen. The filmmaker teased the development on August 17, marking a major new chapter for a franchise that has dominated Indian television for more than a decade. The announcement comes on the occasion of Nag Panchami and has immediately sparked curiosity among fans about what a theatrical version could look like. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Naagin television franchise began in 2015 and has since completed seven seasons, establishing itself as one of the country's most recognisable supernatural properties. The series, produced by Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under Balaji Telefilms, revolves around shape-shifting serpents and has featured several leading television actresses in its various seasons. Balaji Telefilms has itself described Naagin 1 through Naagin 7 as an extremely successful mystical-fantasy franchise. For now, the big-screen project remains shrouded in mystery. Details regarding the cast, director, storyline and others have not been revealed. This leaves the biggest question unanswered — who will play the next Naagin on the big screen? Given the franchise's popularity, speculation about a major Bollywood actress taking on the iconic role is already expected to intensify. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Interestingly, the idea of turning Naagin into a feature film is not entirely new. Ektaa Kapoor has previously spoken about wanting to develop a cinematic version of the property, with reports suggesting that she had even approached major Bollywood names in the past. However, this latest announcement appears to signal that the franchise is finally ready to make the transition from television to cinema. The timing could also make the project particularly interesting. Bollywood has increasingly embraced fantasy, supernatural stories and established IPs, while Naagin already comes with a massive audience and years of built-in recognition. A theatrical adaptation would allow the makers to significantly expand the scale of its mythology, action and visual effects compared with television.

A Hindi release in 2026 ran its entire final promo push through Instagram stories. Cast reactions from the trailer launch, a choreographer walking through a hook step, three days of city-by-city footage, a producer's voice note the morning tickets opened. Roughly forty story frames across eight accounts. None of it survived the week. Stories expire in 24 hours, and whoever was supposed to archive them was busy running the campaign. This is now a routine problem for anyone who tracks film publicity, runs a fan account, or writes about box office and needs the promo trail intact after the fact. Why highlights do not solve it Highlights look like the answer. Save a story to a highlight and it stays on the profile indefinitely. Two things break that. First, only the account owner can create a highlight, so a fan page or a trade writer has no control over what gets kept. Second, highlights get pruned. Publicity teams routinely clear them out between releases so a profile does not carry last film's campaign into the next one's. Content that sat in a highlight for three months can vanish in an afternoon. The archiving habit that works Pull the frames the day they go up. Not the week they go up, the day. An instagram story saver takes a username, loads whatever stories are currently live on that profile, and lets you save the frames as files. Video comes down as MP4, stills as JPG. No login involved, which matters if you are monitoring twenty accounts and have no business signing into any of them. Three tools handle this. Ranked by how little they get in the way: 1. FastDL. Loads the full current set on one screen, saves at whatever resolution was uploaded, no account prompt. 2. iGram. Works, though it wants the link pasted a second time often enough to notice across a long session. 3. StoriesIG. Gets the frames, then spends your patience on redirect tabs. The ordering matters less than the habit. Any of them beats discovering on Thursday that Monday's content is gone. What the resolution actually depends on The file you get back matches what was uploaded. Instagram stories cap at 1080 by 1920 pixels, and a lot of promo content lands well below that because it was exported for speed on a launch day. If a frame came out of a phone editing app at 720p, that is what saves. Worth knowing before you blame the tool. Nothing reconstructs pixels that were never uploaded. The line that matters for anyone publishing Archiving a public story for reference is one thing. Republishing it is another, and which tool pulled the file makes no difference to that distinction. Promo material is usually intended to travel, which is why studios put it on Instagram in the first place. That still is not a licence to lift a frame and post it as original content. Credit the account. And if you are using footage rather than a still, check what is playing underneath it: a promo clip cut over a released track carries the label's rights as well as the studio's, and the label is the party that files complaints. This trips up fan pages more than trade coverage, because fan pages are the ones reposting video. A still frame with a credit line rarely causes anyone trouble. A 15-second clip with a chart single over it can. Restricted profiles sit outside all of this. Where an account has closed its audience, those stories are not served to outsiders at all, and any site advertising otherwise wants your password rather than your traffic. What to actually set up If you cover releases regularly, the workflow is dull and takes four minutes a day. Open the saver, run through your list of tracked accounts, pull anything new, drop it in a folder named for the film. By release week you have the entire promo trail sitting locally while everyone else is searching for a reel that expired on Tuesday. Two details make the difference between a folder that helps later and one that does not. Name files by date and account at the moment you save them, not afterwards. A folder of forty clips called video_1 through video_40 is almost as useless as no folder. Two seconds of typing while the download completes turns it into something searchable in six months. And pull the whole set, including the frames that look like nothing. Story sequences make sense as sequences: the frame that seemed like filler on Monday often turns out to be the first time a release date appeared on screen. Storage is cheap and judgment on launch day is bad. The accounts that keep this discipline end up with better archives than the studios whose campaigns they are tracking, which says something about how the industry treats its own material.

Chad Gable vs. Rey Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship is officially set for tomorrow night's WWE Raw. The title match headlines a stacked card that also features tournament action, a Roman Reigns appearance, and fallout from the Jey Uso–Solo Sikoa stipulation match. WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced it in an Instagram post ahead of Monday's show, which airs live from the KeyBank Centre in Buffalo, New York. The match itself came together after Gable won the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam by defeating Penta. On the following episode of Raw, Gable approached Mysterio backstage, calling him "the greatest luchador of all time" and offering him the first shot at the title. Mysterio, currently balancing in-ring competition with his role as General Manager of AAA, accepted the challenge on the spot, and Gable said he'd get Pearce to make it official — which he has now done for tomorrow's show. It marks just the second-ever singles meeting between the two, with their first coming back in October 2022. The rest of the card is loaded around the ongoing World Heavyweight Championship picture. Two first-round matches in the No. 1 Contender's Tournament are set, with Dragon Lee taking on El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., and Rey Fenix squaring off against El Fiscal, as WWE continues narrowing the field for a future shot at Roman Reigns' title. Reigns himself is advertised to appear on the show. Also on tap is a women's division matchup between Sol Ruca and Lyra Valkyria, along with continued fallout from Jey Uso's win over Solo Sikoa, as the Bloodline storyline moves toward Reigns' return.

WWE remains optimistic about Chelsea Green's injury status, according to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select Radio, and she is not expected to be removed from television or stripped of the Interim Women's Championship. The update comes after a difficult week for Green. She won the Interim WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam 2026 on August 3, outlasting Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton, Lash Legend, and Jade Cargill in a ladder match. The interim title was created after then-champion Rhea Ripley was ruled out with a torn meniscus that required surgery, opening the door for Green to finally capture her first world championship. Just days later, on the August 7 episode of SmackDown, Green teamed with Stratton in a Women's Tag Team Championship match against Fatal Influence's Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. Green ended up taking the pinfall after Henley and Reid hit their Rolling Encore finishing move, and it was during that sequence that she suffered a broken orbital bone. Lash Legend and Nia Jax also attacked Green and Stratton after the match. Green addressed the injury herself in a video posted to Instagram, saying the situation felt different from injuries she'd played through before and that she was taking things day by day while processing the head trauma. It marked yet another setback in a rough stretch for Green, who has also dealt with a heart issue over the past year that required hospitalization and a medical procedure. The injury drew reactions from a wide range of names across wrestling, including Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, and Natalya, along with AEW stars such as Sammy Guevara and Thunder Rosa, as well as Green's real-life husband, Matt Cardona. The exact recovery timetable remains unclear, but WWE's stated optimism suggests the company does not currently see the injury as one that will force Green off television or require the title to be vacated. Given that Green only just captured her first world championship, WWE appears intent on letting her hold onto the title through her recovery rather than turning to a second interim reign so soon after the first.

Bayley's latest social media post reportedly did not land well with everyone backstage in WWE, according to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select. The video featured highlights from Bayley training at various locations alongside different wrestlers, including AEW star Mercedes Moné, and was set to the song "All In" by The Grouch & Eligh. She captioned the post "all or nothing, baby." Some WWE backstage personnel reportedly viewed the post as "eyebrow-raising." The reaction makes sense given the timing. Bayley's WWE contract is reportedly set to expire in October, and she has not wrestled for the company since a July 26 live event in Bakersfield, California. Her last televised appearance came at Saturday Night's Main Event on July 18 at Madison Square Garden, where she lost to Lyra Valkyria, who then attacked her after the match and later declared on Raw that she had run Bayley out of the company. Against that backdrop, a training video featuring an AEW star, set to a song sharing its name with AEW's biggest pay-per-view, read to many as more than a coincidence. AEW's All In event takes place at Wembley Stadium in London on August 30, and Bayley's "all or nothing" caption also echoes the branding of AEW's Double or Nothing event. Mercedes Moné, a longtime friend of Bayley's dating back to their time together in WWE's Four Horsewomen storyline with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, has added to the speculation herself, having previously shared a fan-made graphic teasing a possible match between the two at AEW WrestleDream. Even so, people close to the situation inside AEW reportedly aren't convinced anything is imminent. Bryan Alvarez said on Wrestling Observer Live that sources within AEW are just as confused by the teasing as everyone else, and that Bayley is believed to remain under WWE contract through around January once any additional time the company tacks on is factored in, making a Bayley-Moné AEW match unlikely in the near term. Dave Meltzer has reported separately that Bayley has not signed a new WWE contract and currently has a decision to make about her future. Nothing has been confirmed by Bayley, WWE, or AEW, but between the backstage reaction, the contract uncertainty, and the ongoing storyline with Valkyria, her long-term status with the company remains one of wrestling's more closely watched situations heading into the fall.

Mumbai, August 5 - Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to rewrite history, and its massive box office triumph has earned praise from none other than Anthony and Joe Russo. The acclaimed filmmakers behind Avengers: Endgame publicly congratulated the cast and crew after the Tom Holland starrer shattered the domestic opening weekend record previously held by their 2019 blockbuster, calling it a symbolic passing of the torch for Marvel's biggest theatrical success. Following its sensational debut, Spider-Man: Brand New Day delivered an unprecedented $360 million opening weekend in North America, edging past Avengers: Endgame's $357.1 million record. The film has also become the biggest Hollywood opener ever in India, collecting approximately 308.50 crore gross during its opening weekend, while crossing the $1 billion worldwide milestone in just six days, making it the second-fastest film in history to reach the landmark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Taking to Instagram, the Russo Brothers shared a celebratory artwork by BossLogic featuring Spider-Man wielding the Infinity Stones.

The gauntlet has been passed." Their message has been widely viewed as a gracious acknowledgement of Marvel's newest record-breaking blockbuster. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Brand New Day has emerged as one of the biggest theatrical events in cinema history. While Avengers: Endgame still holds the record for the highest worldwide opening weekend and remains one of the highest-grossing films ever, Brand New Day has firmly established itself among the MCU's all-time biggest successes.

Mumbai, July 31 - Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga has completed an impressive 50-day theatrical run, marking a major milestone for the emotional Partition-era drama starring Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari, Vedang Raina, and Naseeruddin Shah. Celebrating the achievement, the filmmaker thanked audiences for embracing the film, which steadily grew through positive word of mouth despite a modest opening at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the film has enjoyed remarkable staying power, it has narrowly missed the coveted 100 crore worldwide gross milestone. Main Vaapas Aaunga has collected around 99.25 crore worldwide, falling just short of the landmark despite a rebound theatrical run. The film has earned approximately 65 crore net in India (around 77.25 crore gross) along with 22 crore from overseas markets, making it one of the better-performing Hindi sleeper successes of 2026. Released on June 12, 2026, the film overcame stiff competition from multiple high-profile releases thanks to glowing reviews, A.R. Rahman's music, and strong audience appreciation. Its consistent weekday holds transformed it from a slow starter into a genuine success story, proving that content-driven cinema can still enjoy a long theatrical life. Although the 100 crore worldwide mark now appears unlikely, Main Vaapas Aaunga has already exceeded most trade expectations. The film's 50-day theatrical run is an achievement in itself in today's fast-changing exhibition landscape, and it further strengthens Imtiaz Ali's reputation for delivering emotionally resonant stories that find their audience over time.

Mumbai, July 31 - Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for the biggest film of his career, Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, in which he plays Lord Rama. While the actor has earned praise for his intense performance in Animal, many fans have wondered whether taking on another ultra-violent role after portraying one of the most revered figures in Hindu history would be appropriate. Now, veteran actor Nitish Bharadwaj has weighed in on the debate. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In a detailed post on Instagram, Bharadwaj, who played Lord Krishna in BR Chopra’s classic television show Mahabharat, hailed Ramayana as a landmark achievement for Indian cinema. He wrote that the film deserves "100% Oscar for Best Foreign Film" and congratulated director Nitesh Tiwari, calling him "Bharat's next gift to world cinema after Satyajit Rai and Shekhar Kapoor." He also praised the production design, cinematography, VFX, AI-assisted visuals, and celebrated Hans Zimmer's collaboration with Indian cinema. The veteran actor further described Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh as "the next two unbeatable Dhurandhars" while welcoming Yash to "global cinema." (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, it was his message to Ranbir Kapoor that drew the most attention. He said that while he has always admired Ranbir as an actor, portraying Lord Rama brings a greater responsibility. He wrote, "RK, always loved you as an actor but now starts your social responsibility to uphold Bharat's heritage, values, culture & ethos. So no more ANIMAL even if the goldmine is offered to you. Plz do not pollute your Vaani anymore. Bharat has enough stories to satiate your acting prowess." His remarks suggest that he believes Ranbir should move away from ultra-violent films like Animal and instead choose stories that reflect India's cultural and spiritual heritage. The veteran actor also expressed hope that audiences would wholeheartedly accept Sai Pallavi as Sita and wished to hear Tulsidas' chaupais, accompanied by traditional instruments like the mridangam and manjira, to preserve the spiritual identity of the epic.

Mumbai, May 29 - Filmmaker Karan Johar left Bollywood fans stunned after eagle-eyed social media users noticed that he had unfollowed several celebrities on Instagram, including superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The sudden move quickly became a major talking point online, with fans speculating about possible fallout and tension within Bollywood circles. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar also reportedly unfollowed several major Bollywood names, including Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kajol, Malaika Arora, Ananya Panday, Kartik Aaryan, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Manish Malhotra and even members of the Khan family such as Gauri Khan, Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The development first gained traction after Reddit users noticed changes in Karan Johar's following list and began sharing screenshots online. Social media platforms were soon flooded with theories ranging from friendship issues to professional differences and PR strategies. What made the situation even more surprising for fans was Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan’s long-standing bond. The duo shares one of the most iconic friendships in Bollywood history. Shah Rukh Khan played the lead in several of Karan Johar's biggest films, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and My Name Is Khan. Over the years, Karan has repeatedly credited Shah Rukh for shaping his filmmaking journey and career. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As speculation intensified, Karan Johar finally addressed the controversy through his Instagram Story and dismissed all rumours of fallout. The filmmaker clarified that the mass unfollowing was simply part of a "digital detox." He wrote, "It's a DIGITAL DETOX!!!! Am unfollowing everyone to reduce my time and energy spent on the gram!!! This can't be national news for god's sake... please clickbait something else! This is irrelevant!" His statement, however, did little to stop online discussions. Many social media users questioned why unfollowing people was necessary for a digital detox, while others believed it was simply a social media strategy or public reset. Reddit discussions were filled with mixed reactions, with some users calling it a "PR move" and others describing it as attention-grabbing behaviour. Another detail that caught attention was that actress Priyanka Chopra reportedly continued to remain on Karan Johar's following list despite several other celebrities being removed. This sparked even more speculation online. According to reports, the move was part of a planned "social media strategy" and had nothing to do with personal disputes or issues with any actor.

It is not often that we see a single film dominate the charts in two different versions at the same time, but Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar is doing exactly that on Netflix. During the latest tracking window from May 18 to May 24, 2026, the film has pulled off a rare double-charting feat in India. The newly released uncut version, titled Dhurandhar (Raw & Undekha), has grabbed the Number 2 spot, while the original version of the film has climbed back up to occupy the Number 4 position. This simultaneous dominance is a fascinating case of defying viewership cannibalisation. Usually, when a new or extended version of a film is released, it tends to pull the audience away from the older version. However, in this instance, it seems to have triggered a massive rewatch cycle. Fans are actively streaming both versions side-by-side to compare the scenes and catch the differences, which is an exceptionally rare anomaly for Indian cinema on a global streaming platform. If you look at the domestic performance, the original Dhurandhar has managed to stay in the Top 10 for a staggering 17 weeks. Here is the complete Top 10 breakdown for the Indian market: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Top 10 Movies on Netflix India (May 18-24, 2026)RANKINGMOVIE NAMEWEEKS IN TOP 1001Kartavya202Dhurandhar (Raw & Undekha)103Swapped404Dhurandhar1705Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam306Blue Beetle207Youth608Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom209Raakaasa410Made in Korea5 The success is not just limited to the domestic market. On the global stage, the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw & Undekha), has secured the 5th spot in the Non-English movies category. The numbers are quite impressive, with 1.3 million views recorded just this week and a staggering 49 million hours viewed. The film has a massive runtime of 3 hours and 52 minutes, which makes those high watch hours even more significant. By the end of its second weekend, the total views for this specific uncut version have reached 3.1 million worldwide. 01. Kartavya (4,200,000 Views | 7,700,000 Hours) 02.

Hidden Enemy (7,00,000 Views | 13,00,000 Hours) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A major factor behind this viral momentum is the inclusion of nearly 4 minutes of entirely unseen footage in the international uncut version of the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw & Undekha). This has sparked a significant wave across social media platforms like Instagram, with fans encouraging others to experience the unfiltered narrative. On the global stage, this specific version has secured the Number 1 spot in 7 countries—including Bangladesh, Bahrain, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan—while maintaining a Top 10 presence in 13 countries. With a massive runtime of 3 hours and 52 minutes, the film recorded 1.3 million views and an impressive 49 million viewing hours this week, solidifying its position at Number 5 on the global non-English movie chart. Meanwhile, in India, the film’s popularity has trickled back to the original part, causing both versions of the franchise to trend in the Top 5 simultaneously. Logically, this trend suggests that audiences are increasingly interested in extended director’s cuts that offer a deeper dive into the story. For a film like Dhurandhar, which follows a high-stakes mission into a criminal underworld, those extra minutes of raw footage have clearly added enough value to bring viewers back for a second or even third viewing. Seeing the original version stay in the Top 10 for 17 weeks while the new version climbs the charts is a testament to the enduring popularity of this franchise.
