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).

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.

-
The controversy surrounding Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy has taken a fresh turn after producer Amit Jani issued a legal notice to veteran actor Govind Namdev. The notice comes after Namdev publicly distanced himself from the film and alleged that he had been misled about the nature of the project. In an interview with Amar Ujala, Namdev stated that he had agreed to be part of a film he believed was titled Sambhal and was told it would focus only on courtroom proceedings related to Salman Khan's blackbuck case. The actor later claimed he was shocked after watching the teaser of Kala Hiran, saying the final product was very different from what had been explained to him.

Dry Leaf review – three-hour amble around the football pitches of Georgia in search of a daughter

-
Despite its interesting low-res look, Alexandre Koberidze’s mystifying film is needlessly contrived Georgian film-maker Alexandre Koberidze appeared to revive the spirit of the French New Wave with his previous film What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? – an unhurried, meandering and garrulous movie with its own cheeky sort of low-tech magic realism as it followed its nose around the city of Kutaisi. His new film is a mystifying three-hour road movie, shot (as was his debut film Let the Summer Never Come Again) on low-res video, like that of an obsolete cameraphone. It is even more challenging and I have to admit it defeated me, despite some intriguing qualities, including a dry touch of comedy. A middle-aged man called Irakli (David Koberidze) receives a letter addressed to him and his wife, Nino (Irina Chelidze), from their twentysomething photographer daughter Lisa, announcing that she wishes to disappear from their lives. A police officer tells them that Lisa is an adult who can...

Kala Hiran row: Govind Namdev distances himself from film targeting Salman Khan; accuses producers of misleading him

-
Veteran actor Govind Namdev has publicly distanced himself from the controversial film Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy, claiming that he was misled about the nature of the project and would never have agreed to be associated with it had he known its actual premise. Speaking to Amar Ujala, the actor said he initially believed he was working on a film titled Sambhal. He later learned that another project titled Kala Hiran was being made, but was told that it would focus only on courtroom proceedings related to Salman Khan's blackbuck case. Recalling his reaction after watching the teaser, Namdev said, "As soon as I watched the trailer, I was shaken to the core. I instantly understood that the project is completely different from what I was shot for. We were never told that a character resembling Salman Khan would be created and misrepresented in this manner in the film. The moment I saw the trailer, I felt like I had been kept in the dark and used. There is a world of differe...

CBFC censors ‘sex’ and ‘f**k’ in Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day

-
On June 10, Bollywood Hungama reported that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) sprang a pleasant surprise by passing three crucial films of the week with zero cuts – Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Haunted – Echoes Of The Past and Backrooms. However, the sole exception was Disclosure Day. The film received its censor certificate at the eleventh hour and was required to make a few cuts. In a dialogue in the first act, the word ‘sex’ was muted. It occurs in the scene where Daniel Kellner (Josh O'Connor) learns that his girlfriend, Jane (Eve Hewson), was a nun. When asked whether she still follows the same religious commitments, Jane replies in the negative, pointing out that they’ve already had sex. It is in this dialogue that the CBFC made a change. The other word that got muted was ‘f**k’, and it occurred twice in the film. Once these changes were made, Disclosure Day was passed with a U/A 13+ certificate on June 11. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certifi...
