La Liga: Sevilla demolish toothless Barcelona as Atletico drop points

Long written off as fringe, horror is back in India's Bollywood, reinvented with comedy, mythology and big stars powering a box-office renaissance.&nbsp;"There are new stories, fresh talent, and all of this is leading to a resurgence," said director Deepak Ramsay of the renowned filmmaking family, which has created around 30 horror titles over the decades.&nbsp;"Films that were once niche are turning out to be blockbusters."&nbsp;Once dismissed as pulp, bigger budgets, sophisticated special effects and A-list casts are pulling Bollywood horror out of the shadows.&nbsp;"There is a huge audience wanting to watch such movies," said director Aditya Sarpotdar, whose film "Thama" -- touted as India's first vampire movie -- releases this October.&nbsp;Billed as a "bloody love story", it stars popular actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, and blends Bollywood's signature song-and-dance numbers with werewolves and sharp fangs.&nbsp;Ramsay credits some the genre's new-found success to prosthetics and computer-generated effects that have "gone to the next level", noting that budgets have also shot up.&nbsp;From as little as $25,000 to make a horror film, "now budgets are closer to $9 million", he said.&nbsp;Bollywood's horror history runs deep.&nbsp;The 1949 black-and-white hit "Mahal" is widely regarded as the first Hindi horror film, when Kamal Amrohi's supernatural tale of a reincarnated lover introduced a striking aesthetic.&nbsp;<h2>- 'Get scared' -</h2>&nbsp;The Ramsay Brothers pushed the genre forward in the 1970s and 1980s, with low-budget "creature" features in the style of Britain's "Hammer House of Horror".&nbsp;But despite occasional standouts, horror became associated with shoestring budgets, cheap effects and lesser-known actors.&nbsp;"None of the big stars would be interested because the budgets were small," Ramsay said.&nbsp;And with horror films often restricted to adult viewers, "almost 50 percent of the audience would be cut off", he added.&nbsp;Even so, the Ramsays had a winning formula: Blood and sex pulled in crowds with lurid gore and scantily clad women.&nbsp;A slow shift began in the 2000s, with Ajay Devgn starring in the 2003 success "Bhoot" ("Ghost"), while Akshay Kumar led cult hit "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" in 2007, a landmark that mixed psychological thriller and comedy.&nbsp;The broader popular rise began in 2018 with "Tumbbad" -- the first Indian film to open Venice Critics' Week -- and "Stree", which drew on folklore and mythology to captivate audiences.&nbsp;Today's filmmakers are increasingly blending genres.&nbsp;"There's a very thin line between horror and comedy," Ram Gopal Varma, who directed "Bhoot", told AFP.&nbsp;"The moment you get scared, your first reaction after the shock is to laugh."&nbsp;<h2>- Biggest star -</h2>&nbsp;Sarpotdar said the lighter approach broadened the appeal.&nbsp;"When catering to mass audiences, humour becomes key," he said.&nbsp;His 2024 hit "Munjya", a 12A-rated tale of a vengeful spirit who wants to get married, turned into a family outing. "Children pulled their parents to theatres," he said.&nbsp;Despite recent success, Sarpotdar believes Indian cinema has yet to give the genre its full due.&nbsp;"We always looked at horror as pulpy," he said.&nbsp;He now has his eye on the ultimate prize: Bollywood's biggest star.&nbsp;"I would love to see Shah Rukh Khan attempt horror," said the director.&nbsp;"If these films are fun and entertaining, why not?"&nbsp;

Once considered as fringe, the horror genre is redefining Bollywood in more ways than one. Not only has revived a genre once considered cringe but its sucess has led to more makers taking the plunge in this genre and reinventing. 

Long written off as fringe, horror is back in India's Bollywood, reinvented with comedy, mythology and big stars powering a box-office renaissance. "There are new stories, fresh talent, and all of this is leading to a resurgence," said director Deepak Ramsay of the renowned filmmaking family, which has created around 30 horror titles over the decades. "Films that were once niche are turning out to be blockbusters." Once dismissed as pulp, bigger budgets, sophisticated special effects and A-list casts are pulling Bollywood horror out of the shadows. "There is a huge audience wanting to watch such movies," said director Aditya Sarpotdar, whose film "Thama" -- touted as India's first vampire movie -- releases this October. Billed as a "bloody love story", it stars popular actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, and blends Bollywood's signature song-and-dance numbers with werewolves and sharp fangs. Ramsay credits some the genre's new-found success to prosthetics and computer-generated effects that have "gone to the next level", noting that budgets have also shot up. From as little as $25,000 to make a horror film, "now budgets are closer to $9 million", he said. Bollywood's horror history runs deep. The 1949 black-and-white hit "Mahal" is widely regarded as the first Hindi horror film, when Kamal Amrohi's supernatural tale of a reincarnated lover introduced a striking aesthetic. - 'Get scared' - The Ramsay Brothers pushed the genre forward in the 1970s and 1980s, with low-budget "creature" features in the style of Britain's "Hammer House of Horror". But despite occasional standouts, horror became associated with shoestring budgets, cheap effects and lesser-known actors. "None of the big stars would be interested because the budgets were small," Ramsay said. And with horror films often restricted to adult viewers, "almost 50 percent of the audience would be cut off", he added. Even so, the Ramsays had a winning formula: Blood and sex pulled in crowds with lurid gore and scantily clad women. A slow shift began in the 2000s, with Ajay Devgn starring in the 2003 success "Bhoot" ("Ghost"), while Akshay Kumar led cult hit "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" in 2007, a landmark that mixed psychological thriller and comedy. The broader popular rise began in 2018 with "Tumbbad" -- the first Indian film to open Venice Critics' Week -- and "Stree", which drew on folklore and mythology to captivate audiences. Today's filmmakers are increasingly blending genres. "There's a very thin line between horror and comedy," Ram Gopal Varma, who directed "Bhoot", told AFP. "The moment you get scared, your first reaction after the shock is to laugh." - Biggest star - Sarpotdar said the lighter approach broadened the appeal. "When catering to mass audiences, humour becomes key," he said. His 2024 hit "Munjya", a 12A-rated tale of a vengeful spirit who wants to get married, turned into a family outing. "Children pulled their parents to theatres," he said. Despite recent success, Sarpotdar believes Indian cinema has yet to give the genre its full due. "We always looked at horror as pulpy," he said. He now has his eye on the ultimate prize: Bollywood's biggest star. "I would love to see Shah Rukh Khan attempt horror," said the director. "If these films are fun and entertaining, why not?"

Indonesia MotoGP: World champion Marc Marquez crashes out as Aldeguer wins

Taylor Swift on Friday quickly set a streaming record with "The Life of a Showgirl," her new album of bouncy pop songs about love, sex, success -- and score-settling -- that had fans analyzing every word.Critical opinion of "Showgirl" ranged from glowing to unimpressed, but fans flocked to Spotify to hear the 12 tracks, making it the most streamed album in one day in 2025 in less than 11 hours, the platform said.Swift reunited with Swedish hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback for her 12th studio album, and their influence is clear in the driving beats and catchy hooks."I can't tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right," the 35-year-old artist posted on Instagram.While the album still features plenty of introspection, it reveals a lighter, joyful Swift -- in love with her NFL Super Bowl champion fiance Travis Kelce, happy to have bought back her music catalog and proud of her record-shattering Eras Tour."I just want you, have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you...

Critical opinion of "Showgirl" ranged from glowing to unimpressed, but fans flocked to Spotify to hear the 12 tracks, making it the most streamed album in one day in 2025 in less than 11 hours, the platform said.

Taylor Swift on Friday quickly set a streaming record with "The Life of a Showgirl," her new album of bouncy pop songs about love, sex, success -- and score-settling -- that had fans analyzing every word. Critical opinion of "Showgirl" ranged from glowing to unimpressed, but fans flocked to Spotify to hear the 12 tracks, making it the most streamed album in one day in 2025 in less than 11 hours, the platform said. Swift reunited with Swedish hitmakers Max Martin and Shellback for her 12th studio album, and their influence is clear in the driving beats and catchy hooks. "I can't tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right," the 35-year-old artist posted on Instagram. While the album still features plenty of introspection, it reveals a lighter, joyful Swift -- in love with her NFL Super Bowl champion fiance Travis Kelce, happy to have bought back her music catalog and proud of her record-shattering Eras Tour. "I just want you, have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you... Got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop," she sings on the dreamy "Wish List." On "Opalite," which Kelce has said is his favorite track, she says, "You were dancing through the lightning strikes / Sleepless in the onyx night / But now the sky is opalite." "I used to have this dark fear that if I ever were truly, like, happy and...nurtured by a relationship -- what happens if the writing just dries up?" Swift told BBC Radio 1.

"I love the album," Kerry Brookes, a 54-year-old British IT manager attending a screening in the suburbs of Washington, told AFP. "I'm just interested to see what she has to say about it," said Brookes, who was wearing a showgirl headpiece and a feather boa. - 'Only as hot as your last hit' - "Showgirl" represents a shift from the folksy pandemic-era "Folklore" and "Evermore" in 2020, the pensive "Midnights" in 2022 and the introspective "Tortured Poets" last year.

Some of that drama comes through on "Elizabeth Taylor," on which she sings: "You're only as hot as your last hit, baby." Then she goes for the jugular on "Father Figure," a reinvention of late pop crooner George Michael's hit of the same name in which she skewers power dynamics in the music business.

Champions League: Haaland scores brace but Monaco hold Man city at draw

With the meticulously planned release of Taylor Swift's 12th album this Friday, the country singer-turned-pop star demonstrates again that she is as business savvy as she is musically adept.From hints dropped during her last tour in 2024 to movie screenings this coming weekend to accompany the new album's release, "Taylor Swift has perfected marketing as narrative art," said Robin Landa, a professor who studies advertising and branding at Kean University."She doesn't simply release an album -- she orchestrates a cultural phenomenon."The massively hyped "The Life of a Showgirl" album was inspired by Swift's experiences during her record-breaking "Eras" concert tour, which coincided with the singer's romance with her now-fiance Travis Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion football star.The 12-track record "comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life -- and so that effervescence has come through," Swift herself promises.That appears to signal a return to pop after her darker 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department," last year.Swift, 35, has said to expect "bangers" -- high-energy, dance-friendly songs -- in the ilk of her fan-favorite "22" and "Shake It Off," and created with the same Swedish production duo, Max Martin and Shellback.To call "The Life of a Showgirl," which features a duet with rising pop star Sabrina Carpenter, eagerly anticipated is an understatement.The album is the most pre-saved album ever on the Spotify streaming platform, breaking the record set last year by Swift's last album.&nbsp;<h2>- 'Ownership' -</h2>&nbsp;Accompanying the album, movie theaters in dozens of countries will host special screenings from Friday through Sunday of a music video, a making-of featurette, personal commentary by Swift about her songs, and a karaoke-style singalong.The one-off movie event is estimated to gross between $30 million and $50 million, according to film industry website Deadline.Swift, who first announced the album on Kelce's popular podcast last month, is "really taking ownership of the whole process, in every aspect of her music and her presentation to the public," said Toby Koenigsberg, a music professor at the University of Oregon.

Swift's "Eras" tour also spawned its own movie theater event, and underlined "the importance of having fan communities that interact in real life, not just on social media," he added.One element that has long connected "Swifties" -- the nickname for her die-hard fans -- online is the frantic search for "easter eggs," or clues about Swift's upcoming projects scattered through her album booklets, music videos, concerts and social media posts.<h2>- Easter eggs -</h2>Swifties noticed that, in a letter to her fans in May, Swift spelled the words "thiiiiiiiiiiiis" with 12 "i"s -- taken by some to indicate her 12th album was imminent.Once the first album images of "The Life of a Showgirl" were released, featuring cabaret-inspired outfits in orange and green tones, thrilled devotees rushed to social media to point out clues supposedly buried in Swift's 2022 music videos, as well as certain costumes from her latest tour."Taylor's Easter eggs are one of the most brilliant fan engagement tools in modern music," said Landa."This strategy creates free marketing through fan theories and social media speculation -- essentially turning her audience into her promotional team."So, is Swift a musician or a businesswoman?"Sometimes people talk about her business acumen, which is really remarkable... but at the core of what she does is her songwriting," said Koenigsberg.Swift is "able to consistently write good songs, year after year, album after album, in a way that almost nobody else can."

Accompanying the album, movie theaters in dozens of countries will host special screenings from Friday through Sunday of a music video, a making-of featurette, personal commentary by Swift about her songs, and a karaoke-style singalong.

With the meticulously planned release of Taylor Swift's 12th album this Friday, the country singer-turned-pop star demonstrates again that she is as business savvy as she is musically adept. From hints dropped during her last tour in 2024 to movie screenings this coming weekend to accompany the new album's release, "Taylor Swift has perfected marketing as narrative art," said Robin Landa, a professor who studies advertising and branding at Kean University. "She doesn't simply release an album -- she orchestrates a cultural phenomenon." The massively hyped "The Life of a Showgirl" album was inspired by Swift's experiences during her record-breaking "Eras" concert tour, which coincided with the singer's romance with her now-fiance Travis Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion football star. The 12-track record "comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life -- and so that effervescence has come through," Swift herself promises. That appears to signal a return to pop after her darker 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department," last year. Swift, 35, has said to expect "bangers" -- high-energy, dance-friendly songs -- in the ilk of her fan-favorite "22" and "Shake It Off," and created with the same Swedish production duo, Max Martin and Shellback. To call "The Life of a Showgirl," which features a duet with rising pop star Sabrina Carpenter, eagerly anticipated is an understatement. The album is the most pre-saved album ever on the Spotify streaming platform, breaking the record set last year by Swift's last album. - 'Ownership' - Accompanying the album, movie theaters in dozens of countries will host special screenings from Friday through Sunday of a music video, a making-of featurette, personal commentary by Swift about her songs, and a karaoke-style singalong. The one-off movie event is estimated to gross between $30 million and $50 million, according to film industry website Deadline. Swift, who first announced the album on Kelce's popular podcast last month, is "really taking ownership of the whole process, in every aspect of her music and her presentation to the public," said Toby Koenigsberg, a music professor at the University of Oregon.

Accompanying the album, movie theaters in dozens of countries will host special screenings from Friday through Sunday of a music video, a making-of featurette, personal commentary by Swift about her songs, and a karaoke-style singalong.

Showgirl conquers showbusiness: Taylor Swift releases 12th album

Mobile networks and the internet were restored across Afghanistan on Wednesday, 48 hours after the Taliban authorities shut down telecommunications. Confusion gripped the South Asian country on Monday night when mobile phone service and the internet went down without warning, freezing businesses and cutting Afghans off from the rest of the world. The massive blackout came weeks after the government began cutting high-speed internet connections to some provinces to prevent "immorality", on the orders of shadowy supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.&nbsp;AFP journalists reported on Wednesday that mobile phone signals and Wi-Fi had returned to provinces across the country, including Kandahar in the south, Khost in the east, central Ghazni, and Herat in the west. The Taliban government has yet to comment on the telecommunications shutdown. On Wednesday night, hundreds of Afghans poured onto the streets in the capital Kabul, spreading the word that the internet was back.&nbsp;"It's like Eid al-Adha; it's like preparing to go for prayer," said 26-year-old Sohrab Ahmadi, a delivery driver. “We are very happy from the bottom of our hearts.” After days of tension, Afghans celebrated by buying sweets and balloons, as drivers honked their horns, phones pressed to their ears. "The city is alive again," Mohammad Tawab Farooqi, a restaurant manager in the city told AFP.<h2>Businesses, airports, banks closed</h2>It is the first time since the Taliban government won their insurgency in 2021 and imposed a strict version of Islamic law that communications have been cut in the country. Netblocks, a watchdog organisation that monitors cybersecurity and internet governance, said the blackout "appears consistent with the intentional disconnection of service".It said connectivity had slowed to one percent of ordinary levels.&nbsp;A government official warned AFP minutes before the shutdown on Monday evening that the fiber optic network would be cut, affecting mobile phone services, "until further notice". There were widespread closures of businesses, airports, and markets, while banks and post offices were unable to operate.
