Priyanka Chopra, Varanasi and the question of a Telugu debut; was the Ram Charan starrer Thoofan forgotten?

-
The Varanasi team’s widely circulated interview with Screen Rant features a rather awkward moment. When the interviewer asks Priyanka Chopra about her Telugu debut in Varanasi, the actor says she cannot remember when she last did a Telugu film. Mahesh Babu quickly steps in to add, “This is her first Telugu film.” But that is not entirely accurate. Priyanka Chopra had, in fact, featured in the Telugu version of the Amitabh Bachchan classic Zanjeer in 2013. Titled Thoofan, the Ram Charan starrer had Priyanka playing his love interest in what was admittedly a small role. At the time, Chopra had expressed considerable gratitude to the makers of Thoofan, as opportunities in Bollywood were scarce for her then. A senior member of the Thoofan team views her current statement as a case of selective amnesia. “When we signed her for Thoofan, nobody in the Hindi film industry was willing to sign her. We ourselves felt the role was not substantial enough for a future global star like her. But s...

Taylor Swift Responds To Midnights Becoming Spotify’s Most Played Album In 24 Hours

-
The singer-songwriter, who is 32 years old, released her most recent studio album, Midnights, on Friday, and she observed as it immediately earned the record of the most-streamed playlist in a single day in the record of Spotify. In addition, on October 22nd, before the clock could strike midnight, Taylor Swift became the artist with the most streams of any album on Spotify in a single day. A tweet from a music streaming service on Friday congratulated Taylor Swift, @taylorswift13. Swift added seven more songs to the album's tracklist just three hours after the album was made available for purchase for the first time, which led to record-breaking sales figures. Swift later replied to the announcement that she surpassed the single-day streaming milestone. Her album is said to have garnered more than the 183 million streams that Bad Bunny's May album Un Verano Sin Ti pulled in, which was the record that previously held the record for most streams in a single day. But before, the record of 176.8 million streams had been set by Drake in 2021 for his long-awaited record, Certified Lover Boy. Swift posed this question to her devoted following on Twitter: "How did I get this fortunate, having you all out here doing something this heart-popping?" I mean, what the heck just took place?!?! Although it is unknown exactly how many streams Taylor garnered with her 10th studio album, the album itself has made its way into the history books of Apple Music. On October 21st, #Midnights broke the record for the most first-day streams for any pop album ever on Apple Music. This record had previously stood since the service's inception. On Twitter, congratulations are for @taylorswift13. Swift's long-term partner Joe Alwyn (writing as William Bowery) contributed to the record, Lana Del Rey, Jack Antonoff, and even actress Zo Kravitz, with whom Swift uploaded a photo this weekend to mark the album's release.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
