Vijay Deverakonda is not replacing Vikrant Massey in Don 3

Vikrant Massey, who has just had a release in the form of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, is now preparing for the biggest challenge of his career: he will play the main antagonist opposite Ranveer Singh in Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3. Massey’s role, revealed a knowledgeable source, is that of a suave smooth-talking scamster. He will apparently change his look for the character, put on weight and train in special martial arts for his climactic combat with Ranveer Singh. But there have been recent reports about Massey being replaced by Vijay Deverakonda in the film. There is, however, no truth to these claims. While Farhan Akhtar is not yet ready to talk about Don 3, a source close to him revealed, “It’s been Ranveer and Vikrant from the start. Baseless rumours of Deverakonda replacing Massey are not going to tamper with the cast in any way.” Also Read: Farhan Akhtar to start shooting Don 3 with Ranveer Singh from January 2026 from Latest Bollywood News | Hindi Movie News |...

The Investigator review – harrowing documentary details search for justice after Balkan wars

Viktor Portel’s film follows Czech investigator Vladimír Dzuro as he returns to sites of torture and death, and meets survivors as well as supporters of perpetrators

Revisiting the blood-soaked conflicts that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991, Viktor Portel’s harrowing documentary follows Vladimír Dzuro, a Czech investigator committed to bringing war criminals to justice. Drawing from Dzuro’s bestselling book The Investigator: Demons of the Balkan War, the film primarily focuses on the atrocities committed by Serbian forces; as Dzuro returns to sites of torture and death, his encounters with the survivors as well as supporters of the perpetrators are at once riveting and heartbreaking.

The Vukovar massacre, one of the most infamous incidents of the war, is recounted in eye-opening detail. In 1991, in the final days of a battle between the Croatian National Guard and the Serb-controlled Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) during the Croatian war of independence, the latter vetoed an agreement to evacuate the Vukovar hospital and turned it over to Serbian paramilitaries. In the end, nearly 300 people were executed in cold blood and dumped in mass graves. In 1996, Dzuro was a part of a mission to exhume the victims. Flickering archival footage of the campaign shows piles of bodies laid beneath the ground, a chilling visual manifestation of how history can be buried and erased. In contrast with the lo-fi quality of these newsreels, contemporary footage of Dzuro has the stylisation of a crime thriller. The look creates a gripping atmosphere, even if it also occasionally verges on overdramatisation, which the film’s already shocking true stories don’t necessarily need.
