SCOOP: Sunny Deol-Akshaye Khanna's Netflix film Ikka expected to have fan screenings before release

-
Veteran actors Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna are clearly on a high right now. Sunny’s career got a boost with the blockbuster success of Gadar 2 (2023). Jaat (2025) was a decent grosser while Border 2 (2026) was a huge hit, which proved that Gadar 2’s success was not a fluke. Meanwhile, Akshaye Khanna went on another level with his performance as Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar (2025). Both these stars will now share screen space in Ikka. The film will release directly on Netflix on July 10; however, lucky fans are expected to get a chance to catch the film on the big screen. A Twitter handle named ‘LegendDeols’ revealed on June 19 that fan screenings of the film will be held in July 8 in 3-4 cities, that is, two days before the release. The handle further asked the fans to show interest in the post so that they can get tickets to this screening. Bollywood Hungama enquired about it and learned that such a screening is indeed in the works. A source told us, “The makers are indeed planning ...

Electric Malady review – life under a blanket for man who fears ‘electrosenstivity’

-

This tactful documentary follows William, living in a tinfoil-covered cabin and covered in a blanket. But is there anything behind his condition?

William lives in a pretty wooden cabin deep in a Swedish forest. It looks like any other cabin, except William has covered it with aluminium mosquito netting. Inside, his bedroom is like a silver cave: walls and floor are lined with industrial-looking tinfoil bubble wrap. And then there is William himself – covered from head to toe in a white blanket. He looks like a kid dressed up as a ghost for Halloween. Except there are no cutouts for his eyes: holes would let in the electromagnetic radiation. So William lives mostly in darkness.

This idea that modern life could be making us ill, that there might be health dangers caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields given off by mobile phones and wifi technology, was big in the 00s. The mainstream media took it semi-seriously. Panorama even did a wifi special episode in 2007, which the BBC’s own complaints unit criticised for being misleading. The issue has since dropped off the radar but there are still people who believe that they are suffering from electrosensitivity.

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...
