Ramayana Part 1 might release a day earlier than planned. Nitish Tiwari’s directorial, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash and Ravi Dubey, was earlier scheduled to release on November 6, but now, recent reports claim that the makers will release the film on November 5. If the new date gets locked, the makers are expected to make an official announcement soon. A source close to the film told Bollywood Hungama that, “The makers of Ramayana have now decided to release their labour of love on Thursday, November 5. Also, this time, the plan is to release it across the world, that is, in India as well as overseas, on the same day. The stakeholders are more or less on board with this new release date.

A second poster focuses on Yash as Ravana, highlighting the antagonist's imposing and regal look.

<h2>WION's review of The Vvaan</h2><p>In <i>WION’s </i>review, Pargati Awasthi writes, "With the amount of money invested in the film, the camera work and production design make the movie look grand and visually polished, whether it’s the tiger sequences or the ghost portions. The scale is evident on screen, and technically, the film creates moments of spectacle that briefly lift the otherwise wafer-thin narrative. In the first half, the combination of mythology with folklore genuinely excites the curious viewer. But soon, as the layers of the story start to unravel, all that remains is melodrama. Malhotra truly carries the film with his performance and does everything he possibly could for it, and so do the other actors. Tamannaah brings her charm, but her role is limited."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It further concludes, "In brief, Vvaan is very much an Ekta Kapoor Tulsi Virani world, in which Sidharth has made his debut as the divine hero, but he can’t save this film with his looks."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/sidharth-malhotra-tamannaah-bhatia-meet-bihar-cm-samrat-choudhary-ahead-of-the-vvaan-release-see-pics-1789889415263"><strong>Sidharth, Tamannaah meet Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary ahead of The Vvaan release</strong></a></p><h2>About The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest</h2><p>Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, <i>Vvaan: Force of the Forrest</i> is a fantasy folklore thriller that hit theatres on Friday, September 25.

<p>He further highlighted that Mushtaq Khan dedicated nearly 50 years of his life to the film industry, yet none of these prominent stars could spare even 50 minutes to attend his final journey. "Yes, but if this were the wedding of an industrialist’s son, they would not only attend but also serve the wedding guests as if they were waiters. Or if there’s a political party that requires their presence, they would definitely be there. But they did not pay their last respects to a man who gave 50 years of his life to the film industry. He gave his whole life, and yet you couldn’t give him 50 minutes."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-welcome-actor-mushtaq-khan-was-tortured-for-12-hours-by-kidnappers-is-now-safe-783121"><strong>Welcome actor Mushtaq Khan tortured for 12 hours by kidnappers</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"He reached this point only through the strength of his work. He didn’t need you in his life, nor will he need you in his death. But there will be the regret that there’s no star Mushtaq Khan hasn’t worked with, and yet nobody came to meet him one last time," Murad further added, warning Bollywood stars that their names, fame, and money could fade one day.</p>

<h3>'I made this film for kids': Hanuman Ansh director at WION Iconic Tourism Summit</h3><p>At the WION Iconic Tourism Summit and Awards 2026 in New Delhi on Sep 23, Hanuman Ansh director Dr Vishal Chaturvedi spoke about the film's unexpected blockbuster run as he revealed that he made the movie for kids.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking at WION's summit ''So I guess I saw that a lot of people are going to watch it. Most probably everyone in India will watch it. That was the dream. That was the wish. And that was the feeling also that one day this film will be watched by each Indian, each and every Indian living across the world.And I guess that's happening very early.

Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, the movie was released on Aug 7 and today completes 50 days in theatres. Based on the life of revered saint Neem Karoli Baba, the film is currently playing across the world. 

Hanuman Ansh has created nothing short of a miracle in theatres. Made on a budget of Rs 2 crore, the film has completed 50 days in theatres and has become the audience's first choice, outperforming major releases such as Yash's Toxic, Akshay Kumar's Haiwaan and even Mirzapur: The Movie. At the time of its release, the film's name was nowhere, and no one was even aware of it, but now it is all over social media, with its song 'Parvati' trending and even charting on the charts, just below Shakira. Even PM Narendra Modi was seen enjoying the song and singing at a bhajan clubbing event in Delhi, where he watched Sadhu Tiwari performing the song live. Hanuman Ansh's 50 days at the box office: Here's how much the movie has earned Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, the movie was released on Aug 7 and today completes 50 days in theatres. Based on the life of revered saint Neem Karoli Baba, the film is currently playing across the world. On Day 50, Hanuman Ansh collected a net of ₹3.35 Cr across 3,767 shows, taking the collections to ₹344.35 Cr and total India net collections to ₹291.53 Cr so far, as per Sacnilk. Overseas, the film's total gross stands at ₹37.00 Cr so far. This pushes its worldwide gross collection to ₹381.35 Cr. What started with 355 shows on the day of release has grown to over 3,000 shows on Day 50. The film has truly gone beyond imagination. PM Modi enjoys 'Parvati' at a Delhi event PM Narendra Modi was seen enjoying Sadhu Tiwari's performance of ‘Jab Zid Par Aa Gayi Parvati’ from Hanuman Ansh.

Kriti Sanon breaks silence on patriarchy amid Jamui assault case: ‘It’s not Men vs Women’

<p>Kunal Kemmu's Vibe is out in theatres and is doing outstandingly well at the box office. This time, Kemmu wears three hats- director, writer, and actor- and delivers one of the most entertaining films of the year.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After the film's release, WION caught up with him to talk about its success, his journey behind the camera, and the stories behind some of its funniest moments. He was also asked about Hardik's striking look in the film, particularly the orange jacket and shiny goggles seen in the posters.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When asked about the striking look of his character, Hardik, Kemmu, went on to share the interesting story behind the look. Revealing that it was never part of the script while he was writing it and was instead the idea of costume designer Rick Roy.</p><h3>Kunal Kemmu decodes viral look in Vibe: 'That costume didn't exist</h3><p>The orange furry jacket was never part of the script when he was writing it, and he gives all credit for it to Roy. For those who haven't watched the movie, Kunal plays Hardik, a good-for-nothing guy who is constantly protected by his friend Bugs, the smart engineer played by Sparsh Shrivastava. In one sequence of the movie, he appears sitting on a couch in that striking look that totally shifts the vibe.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>''When I had written the script, that costume didn't exist. I didn't know he [Hardik] would be wearing stuff like this. But when Rick Roy came on board, he's a very vibrant personality himself; he's a vibe himself. He showed me this look and said, 'I know this is not going in the film, but this should be the vibe.' And I was like, one second, why will it not go in the film? I'll find a place for it,'' he said.</p>

<p>''Even the goggles, they are his personal ones. Right till the time we actually shot that scene, I said, 'keep them handy. These are too loud, I don't think these will work, but keep them handy.' But when we were shooting it, it just made sense. When I put them on, I realised you can't see properly. I thought it would be fun for Hardik to see a prism image of him (Bugs) when he walks in. So right till we shot it, we weren't sure if we were going to use those, but then that became the look,'' the actor shares.&nbsp;</p><h3>Vibe: What is the movie about?</h3><p>The movie follows how Hardik and Bugs, the two boys, who can't even handle their lives properly, become agents tasked with saving India, and their misadventures make for the rest of the hilarious ride.

In an exclusive chat with WION, Kunal Kemmu revealed the story behind his viral orange jacket and goggles look in Vibe, saying it was never in the script and came from costume designer Rick Roy. The movie is playing in theatres. 

Kunal Kemmu's Vibe is out in theatres and is doing outstandingly well at the box office. This time, Kemmu wears three hats- director, writer, and actor- and delivers one of the most entertaining films of the year. After the film's release, WION caught up with him to talk about its success, his journey behind the camera, and the stories behind some of its funniest moments. He was also asked about Hardik's striking look in the film, particularly the orange jacket and shiny goggles seen in the posters. When asked about the striking look of his character, Hardik, Kemmu, went on to share the interesting story behind the look. Revealing that it was never part of the script while he was writing it and was instead the idea of costume designer Rick Roy. Kunal Kemmu decodes viral look in Vibe: 'That costume didn't exist The orange furry jacket was never part of the script when he was writing it, and he gives all credit for it to Roy. For those who haven't watched the movie, Kunal plays Hardik, a good-for-nothing guy who is constantly protected by his friend Bugs, the smart engineer played by Sparsh Shrivastava. In one sequence of the movie, he appears sitting on a couch in that striking look that totally shifts the vibe. ''When I had written the script, that costume didn't exist. I didn't know he [Hardik] would be wearing stuff like this. But when Rick Roy came on board, he's a very vibrant personality himself; he's a vibe himself. He showed me this look and said, 'I know this is not going in the film, but this should be the vibe.' And I was like, one second, why will it not go in the film? I'll find a place for it,'' he said.

<h2>WION's review of The Vvaan</h2><p>In WION's review, Pargati Awasthi writes, "With the amount of money invested in the film, the camera work and production design make the movie look grand and visually polished, whether it’s the tiger sequences or the ghost portions. The scale is evident on screen, and technically, the film creates moments of spectacle that briefly lift the otherwise wafer-thin narrative. In the first half, the combination of mythology with folklore genuinely excites the curious viewer. But soon, as the layers of the story start to unravel, all that remains is melodrama. Malhotra truly carries the film with his performance and does everything he possibly could for it, and so do the other actors. Tamannaah brings her charm, but her role in limited."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/the-vvaan-teaser-sidharth-malhotra-and-tamannaah-bhatia-s-film-blends-supernatural-horror-with-folklore-fantasy-1787668154939"><strong>The Vvaan teaser: The film blends supernatural horror with folklore fantasy</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It further concludes, "In brief, Vvaan is a very Ekta Kapoor's Tulsi Virani world, in which Sidharth has made his debut as the divine hero, and he can't save this film with his looks."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/vvan-sidharth-malhotra-tamannaah-bhatia-s-folklore-thriller-to-release-on-this-date-1774427356398"><strong>Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia's Vvan to release on THIS date</strong></a></p><h2>About The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest</h2><p><i>The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest</i> is a fantasy folklore thriller that was released in theatres on September 25 (Friday).

<p>Opening up about his disappointment over his truncated role, Raheen went on to describe the hardships actors face when their work doesn't make it to the final cut:&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“There is immense hard work involved in acting in movies. The pain and disappointment are indescribable when scenes—into which one has poured their heart and soul—end up being cut during editing. For an actor, facing such a situation causes deep mental anguish,” he wrote.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/the-paradise-box-office-collection-day-1-nani-starrer-makes-a-strong-start-earns-rs-76-90-crore-globally-1790334140396">The Paradise BO collection: Nani starrer makes a strong start on day 1</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Despite his disappointment, Raheen defended the film against the negative reviews and the criticism around its logic, ''If you keep looking for logic, no film will satisfy you. Please watch a movie as a movie. Don’t kill cinema, support it. Everyone is calling it a bad film, but it’s not at all. Watch it with your family.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film follows a marginalised community living in an area called Paradise, denied basic recognition and rights. Their lives are controlled by a powerful, oppressive figure who treats both the people and the land as his personal property.

The first half establishes an interesting story around Jadal's troubled relationship with his mother and his conflict with Maalik, but soon, it loses its grip.

Just when the story appears ready to conclude, another conflict begins. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/south-cinema/the-paradise-movie-review-nani-s-powerful-performance-cannot-save-this-stretched-out-action-drama-1790270031356">Read the review here.&nbsp;</a></p>

The Paradise, starring Nani and directed by Srikanth Odela, has opened to largely negative reviews despite high expectations. However, an actor has come forward to express his pain that was edited out. 

Nani-starrer The Paradise has been released to negative reviews despite the massive hype surrounding it. While the movie isn't earning much praise, one of the actors, Remo Raheen, has expressed displeasure over his scenes being cut short, even as he defended Nani's film. Srikanth Odela's directorial has been one of the most talked-about movies, and now that it has arrived, the reaction that the movie is getting is largely negative over the story. However, Nani's performance has been widely praised. Remo Raheen opens up on his scene being cut short in The Paradise Actor Remo Raheen has expressed displeasure over his scene being cut short, even as he came out in defence of Nani's film. In his video, Raheen revealed that his truck scene in the movie, was originally 5-7 minutes long. But it was trimmed significantly due to the film's length. Also Read: Nani was already a fan of Raghav Juyal before The Paradise Remo defended the movie, said, “I have been feeling bad. My truck scene in The Paradise is actually 5-7 minutes long. But due to the film’s length, they had to cut it short.”

<p>Ever so often, Bollywood wants to speak the language of the youth. However, in an attempt to address their issues and growing pains, the industry often ends up stereotyping Gen Z and making them look superfluous. In Don’t Be Shy, director Sriti Mukerji attempts to tell a Gen Z story, but sets it in the early 2000s and delivers a very run-of-the-mill, coming-of-age campus tale. While it begins on a promising note, the film eventually becomes predictable and rather silly by the end.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Produced by Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt, Don’t Be Shy introduces fresh faces to the film industry.

While Shy thinks she has everything under control, life has other plans.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Heartbroken and panic-stricken after Mayank breaks up with her, Shy plots various ways to win him back while their college is on a tour for an inter-college fest.

<h2>Final Verdict</h2><p>The film would have benefited had the director focused more on female friendship and Shy’s ambition to achieve her dreams on her own merit, rather than relying on a rich boy's status. That would have yielded a refreshing coming-of-age story that Gen Z could truly resonate with. Instead, the current plot makes Gen Z look rather superficial—which they are not.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Don’t Be Shy isn't a bad film; it is well-intended and backed by a solid lead cast who know their craft well. Its main flaw is that it plays it too safe and succumbs to predictability.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Don’t Be Shy is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.</p>

Don't Be Shy movie review: A frothy coming-of-age tale that is too shy to experiment

<p>It’s here! Alia Bhatt’s first look from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated film Love &amp; War has finally been unveiled. A day earlier, Ranbir Kapoor’s look from the film was released. On Friday, Bhansali Productions shared the first glimpse of Alia’s character, dressed in vintage glamour. The film Love &amp; War also features Vicky Kaushal and has been one of the most talked-about films ever since it was announced.</p><h2>The first look of Alia Bhatt in Love &amp; War</h2><p>In the first poster, Alia is shown in a striking new look, wearing a dramatic magenta-red outfit and an elaborate headpiece with feathres. Alia’s look reminds you of yesteryear’s cabaret dancer. Wearing a crop top with a thigh-high slit skirt, the poster gives away that it seems to be from a dance sequence, but does not reveal too many details about her role.</p><p>The production house shared the poster on social media along with a caption that read: “Aag bhi, dilon ki jaan bhi! ❤️‍🔥 Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love &amp; War on 21st January 2027 ❤️ See you at the movies! 🎬.”</p>
