Archana Puran Singh reveals why she hid her marriage for 4 years

-
Indian actress and television personality Archana Puran Singh has revealed that she kept her marriage to actor Parmeet Sethi a secret for nearly four years, citing industry pressures that once discouraged married women from pursuing acting careers. Archana, known for her work in several iconic Bollywood films, married Parmeet Sethi in 1992. However, she chose not to make the marriage public at the time. Speaking recently, the actress said that during that phase in the film industry, marriage was often seen as a setback for female actors, leading to fewer opportunities. She described this mindset as a “nonsense trend” and said it played a major role in her decision to keep her marital status private while continuing to work. She also shared that the secrecy around the marriage was influenced by several personal and social challenges. Parmeet was younger than her, which contributed to resistance from family members, and there was disapproval from both sides regarding the relationship. ...

5-Day Extended Weekend & Festive Fervour: Kartik Aaryan–Ananya Panday’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri hits the most LUCRATIVE box office window of the year

-

Kartik Aaryan had a smashing 2024, thanks to the blockbuster success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. It seemed like he might not have a release in 2025 after his untitled musical with Anurag Basu was postponed from Diwali this year to the first half of 2026. A few hours ago, however, Dharma Productions announced that Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Ananya Panday, will arrive on the last day of the year, December 31, 2025.

Over the years, the Christmas and pre-Christmas period has proved to be huge at the box office. But New Year’s Eve can also bring in a lot of moolah, especially if it falls on the correct day of the week. And Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’s makers might have hit a jackpot by releasing their film on this coveted date.

This year, December 31 falls on a Wednesday. As it's common knowledge, there’s no holiday on the year’s last day, but after 3:00 or 4:00 pm, work gets wrapped up and people get into a celebratory mode. As a result, cinemas across the country see higher footfalls. January 1 is as good as a national holiday. In the past, films like PK (2014) earned Rs. 14.05 crores, a jump of 55% from the previous day. Dangal (2016) jumped 39% and earned Rs. 32.04 crores on the first day of 2017. Simmba (2018) went on to collect Rs. 28.19 crores, a jump of 33%. Avatar: The Way Of Water (2022) jumped a whopping 52% on January 1, 2023, and collected Rs. 17.97 crores.

The business usually falls on January 2 as the holiday season gets over and the public is back to work. But in 2026, the second day of the first month falls on Friday. Hence, the collections would remain steady after which it will see a jump yet again on Saturday and Sunday.

In short, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri releases in the most beneficial period of the year, with its first five days virtually functioning as an extended festive weekend. Hence, if content clicks, it has the potential to work big time at the box office.

However, a few challenges remain. Alpha releases on December 25, six days before Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. This Yash Raj venture has the potential to score due to its casting (Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Bobby Deol), genre and popularity of the franchise (despite War 2’s debacle). A week before Alpha, Avatar: Fire And Ash will arrive in cinemas on December 19. Hence, there can be an issue of screen-sharing for the romcom. But with Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films and Karan Johar of Dharma, the producers of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri being close friends, one can expect amicable division of shows, at least for these two films. Here’s hoping the trailer of the Kartik Aaryan-Ananya Panday starrer clicks and if it does, 2025 will surely end on a high.

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...
