<h2>What happened to Captain Smit Machchhar?</h2><p>Indian Captain Smit Machchhar experienced a catastrophic mid-air incident on September 30 (Wednesday), while piloting Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv. He was attacked and stabbed by his co-pilot with a knife in an apparent attempt to crash the plane.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Despite being injured, Captain Machchhar managed to open the cockpit door, enabling crew members and passengers to enter and intervene in the dangerous situation. The attacker was subsequently restrained, and the aircraft was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Machchhar successfully saved the lives of the 174 passengers and crew members on board.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After receiving medical treatment, the Indian pilot spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a video call from the hospital. While wounded on the floor and realising that the aircraft was plummeting nearly 5,000 metres, Machchhar described his state of mind to PM Modi. He said he thought to himself, “This will take one last push, Smit. Just do it. The door is right there.” Captain Machchhar was initially treated at a hospital in Tabuk and was reported to be stable. He was later shifted to Abu Dhabi, where he is continuing his treatment and recovery.</p><h3><strong>Who is Hamam Al-Hammami? Omani co-pilot in Flydubai cockpit</strong></h3><p>Days after the incident, the identity of the co-pilot has been revealed. Hamam Al-Hammami, the Omani co-pilot, has been accused of attacking Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar inside the cockpit of a Flydubai flight, according to Al Arabiya, citing sources.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi was set to release in April, but it has still not been able to find its way to the big screen. However, it has now been learnt that the movie, which was earlier titled, The Battle of Galwan, has finally received the green signal from the government.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Said to be based on the Galwan battle between India and China, the film faced multiple postponements due to its sensitive subject matter and concerns over how it would portray China and whether it might hamper the geopolitical relationship between the neighbouring countries. &nbsp;</p><h3>When is Maatrubhumi releasing? Here's what the new update says. &nbsp;</h3><p>After a delay of over six months, Salman's movie might have received permission to go ahead from the I&amp;B Ministry. &nbsp;According to Bollywood Hungama, a source has shared that the ministry is now 'satisfied' with the new cut of the movie and has also given its NOC. This came months after the teaser of the movie was dropped, which sparked a wave of reaction from across the border.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/salman-khan-salutes-captain-smit-machchhar-will-be-a-pleasure-to-fly-with-you-1791001302793">Salman Khan salutes Captain Smit Machchhar: 'Will be a pleasure to fly with you'</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Over the sequences shown in the movie, it has undergone a series of reshoots. This happened after the Defence Ministry raised objections to sequences reportedly showing an anti-China stance. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A source also shared that the new version of the movie portrays the relationship between India and China in a positive light. &nbsp;“The new version of Maatrubhumi is highly altered compared to the original version. Moreover, it now also talks about the relationship between India and China in a positive light,” the source said. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Set to release in April 2026, the movie was indefinitely postponned. Based on the Battle of Galwan between India and China, the movie faced delays over the subject and the anti-China stance that was reportedly featured. 

Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi was set to release in April, but it has still not been able to find its way to the big screen. However, it has now been learnt that the movie, which was earlier titled, The Battle of Galwan, has finally received the green signal from the government. Said to be based on the Galwan battle between India and China, the film faced multiple postponements due to its sensitive subject matter and concerns over how it would portray China and whether it might hamper the geopolitical relationship between the neighbouring countries. When is Maatrubhumi releasing? Here's what the new update says. After a delay of over six months, Salman's movie might have received permission to go ahead from the I&B Ministry. According to Bollywood Hungama, a source has shared that the ministry is now 'satisfied' with the new cut of the movie and has also given its NOC. This came months after the teaser of the movie was dropped, which sparked a wave of reaction from across the border.

This happened after the Defence Ministry raised objections to sequences reportedly showing an anti-China stance. A source also shared that the new version of the movie portrays the relationship between India and China in a positive light. “The new version of Maatrubhumi is highly altered compared to the original version. Moreover, it now also talks about the relationship between India and China in a positive light,” the source said.

Owing to the festivals, October is a packed month with several big releases. Gondhal, India’s official Oscar 2027 entry, which will begin exclusive preview screenings on October 9. Also, Rajkummar Rao's Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam and Yami Gautam's Nayyi Navelli are set to release on October 16. The month will now end with Udta Teer.

I am returning to my core, which champions original content, and this film embodies that,” he told ANI. The actor revealed that he plays a Pakistani spy in the film who loses his memory, creating a unique blend of patriotism and comedy. “In the film, I play a Pakistani spy who loses his memory; while he retains a sense of patriotism, he forgets which country he belongs to, so he ends up supporting India. It could be described as a pro-India patriotic comedy; it’s a genre-defying film that can be enjoyed with the whole family,” Ayushmann added.

<p>One X user wrote a full-fledged review of Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 and called it one that hits different. Rating it 4.5 out of 5, the review read, "Abhishek Pathak has done solid work with the direction. I expected the story to be complicated, but every twist connects so cleanly that the flow never breaks. The film keeps you hooked the whole way — there’s no moment where it gets boring.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The best part: the light comedy sprinkled in between is perfectly timed. The first half sets things up and feels fairly normal… but once the second half kicks in, it’s hard to predict what comes next. “What will Ajay Devgn do now?”, “Oh, how did that happen?” — these are the things that keep you locked in till the end."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It also recalled Akshaye Khanna’s iconic performance in <i>Drishyam 2</i>, writing, "Akshay Khanna’s performance in Drishyam 2 is still memorable.

" sir, you didn’t just give Vijay Salgaonkar a character — you gave him a way of thinking. Drishyam 3 is another strong chapter in your acting — would love to hear even a one-line reaction.🤗"</p>

<h2>WION's review of Drishyam: The Conclusion</h2><p>According to <i>WION's </i>Pragati Awati, "the first two parts had the story divided perfectly among the characters, here all the focus has shifted to Vijay and how and where he hid Sam's skeleton. With not much serious dialogue-baazi (most was done by Jaideep), this movie moves ahead with its expressions, story and actors. The first half of the movie establishes the plot with its omniscient tone, but midway through the movie it does feel a little stretched. The courtroom part is brief and works in favour of the plot. I don't want to talk about the climax, as it should be left to be enjoyed in cinemas.”</p><h2>About Drishyam: The Conclusion</h2><p>The third instalment of the popular crime-thriller franchise sees Ajay Devgn reprise his role as Vijay Salgaonkar, who once again outsmarts the police in court to finally put an end to the legal battle surrounding Sameer Deshmukh’s death while clearing his name.

<p>In a world of cinema, it doesn't matter what has been told to you, but how it has been told to you.

The second part was one of the most fitting sequels. Now the conclusion is out, and it comes with the same template and huge expectations. Will this part work for everyone? Totally depends on how invested one was in the story of the Salgaonkars.</p><h3>Drishyam: The Conclusion - A brief of how the story moves forward - No spoilers</h3><p>The movie starts with Meera Deshmukh (Tabu), who still wants revenge for the death of her son Sam. She is now suicidal, as her mental health has taken a toll. To give it one last chance before the final court hearing, Renu's husband (Rajat Kapoor) approaches the head of the Crime Branch, Rajveer Singh Tomar (Jaideep Ahlawat), who has some solid points and evidence that are enough to send the Salgaonkars behind bars.</p>

Still from Drishyam 3

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cut to picturesque Goa, where Vijay is living a happy life with his wife Nandini and daughters Anju and Anu. However, a fear continues to linger, and it still haunts the family. While things have been peaceful, it is Vijay and his cinema-driven mind that is continuously working, planning and plotting to save himself and his family as their worst nightmare comes true and they become aware of Tomar's intentions. How Vijay saves his family one last time forms the rest of the plot.</p><h3>Drishyam: The conclusion hits its highest peaks with fewer lows</h3><p>The murder-mystery universe comes with the challenge of maintaining the suspense, tension, and the slow-burning narrative that the audience felt when they first stepped into Vijay's world. Maintaining that same bar is no cakewalk, but they did it in the sequel and have done it again with the conclusion, framing situations in a way that will surely make you wonder about Vijay's next move.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With the understanding that building a franchise on a murder mystery is a challenging job, as the demands a writer has to fulfil go beyond satisfying many minds. But this franchise has done it with a mostly linear narrative. Much like the first two parts, this one also keeps you hooked with a story that has aged well in many ways. Starting with a tense atmosphere, the trio of writers, Aamil Keeyan Khan, Abhishek Pathak and Parveez Shaikh, strikes a perfect balance between humour (credit goes to<br>Gaitonde (Laxmikant), twists and tension.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The emotions that had played a massive role in the previous two parts take a backseat this time, with the writting that is more satisfying.</p>

<p>The movie lacks when it comes to the story, that had overpowered by the background score that takes over the silent gaze, which was the gem of this franchise. On the writing front, the 2-hour-38-minute movie takes the audience on a promising journey and wastes no time in setting up the plot. With the thought of letting the story and the fans mind should get some peace, it has stayed within its limits, leaving the audience with no room to imagine it moving forward and that too is justified by why the makers have kept things in a tight grip.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the first two parts had the story divided perfectly among the characters, here all the focus has shifted to Vijay and how and where he hid Sam's skeleton. With not much serious dialogue-baazi (most was done by Jaideep), this movie moves ahead with its expressions, story and actors. The first half of the movie establishes the plot with its omniscient tone, but midway through the movie it does feel a little stretched. The courtroom part is brief and works in favour of the plot. I don't want to talk about the climax, as it should be left to be enjoyed in cinemas.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If we talk about the addition of Jaideep as a cop, the actor does bring his talent to the movie, but as the story moves forward, the way his character is built up with that hype doesn't quite land. More than him, it's Savio (Ramchandra Singh), the character who plays the key to the mystery room. His expressions and work truly stood out for me. In this film, the cherry on the cake is the actors. Devgn, with his intense gaze, is enough to hold the whole frame. Tabu, Rajat, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, and Mrunal Jadhav have played their part well. &nbsp;<br><br>For me, Drishyam: The Conclusion gave me the satisfying ending my inner soul was wishing for.&nbsp;</p>

It's Vijay Salgaonkar's world, and Savio wins! This is the answer you will get when you watch the movie. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film bids a farewell with an intense, eye-gazing performance by Ajay Devgn. Read our no-spoiler review here.

Dupahiya 2 review

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Amid these struggles, Banwari gets an unexpected opportunity when his land is selected for the installation of a mobile tower. The deal promises him good money, and the tower appears to be exactly the opportunity he needs to improve his financial situation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But nothing goes smoothly in Dhadakpur. The villagers begin opposing the tower, while Pushplata (Renuka Shahane), who is the village chief, also gets involved in the dispute.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the same time, Roshni is under intense pressure to clear her SSC exam. Her preparation is not going as planned, and she eventually finds herself considering an extremely risky shortcut.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Amavas (Bhuvan Arora), who still has feelings for Roshni, is once again willing to go to great lengths to help her. Their path eventually leads them to Pratham Kumar (Dinesh Lal Yadav), the owner of a coaching centre who becomes an important part of the examination malpractice track.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/dupahiya-season-2-gets-release-date-gajraj-rao-renuka-shahane-return-with-nirahua-1789726408038"><strong>Dupahiya season 2 gets release date: Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane return with Nirahua</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The situation gets more complicated when Inspector Mithlesh Kushwaha (Yashpal Sharma) starts investigating a tip-off on an examination scam and paper leak.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, Bhugol (Sparsh Shrivastava) is dealing with a problem of his own. After becoming popular through his dancing and female-avatar videos, he dreams of moving to Mumbai and making a career in acting. However, his performances become a hurdle in his pursuit of an acting career.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>His journey also becomes connected to his sister's struggles, and from there, the family gets pulled deeper into their problems.</p><h2>What works and what doesn't</h2><p>Just like Season 1, the biggest strength of Dupahiya 2 is Dhadakpur itself. The series has created a recognisable small-town universe, and the mobile tower storyline is particularly effective.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gajraj Rao is once again one of the biggest reasons to watch the show. The portrayal of Banwari's emotions is done without making the character overly dramatic, and his chemistry with his on-screen son is worth appreciating.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bhugol's storyline is also interesting, as he is uncomfortable with people mocking him over his female performances, but he enjoys the money he makes through it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/dupahiya-review-this-delightful-soul-stirring-village-drama-is-a-treat-to-watch-8830533"><strong>Dupahiya review | This delightful, soul-stirring village drama is a treat to watch</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Roshni's SSC preparation is meanwhile the central tension of the season and it works well. Additionally, Bhuvan Arora continues to make Amavas likeable.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are several genuinely funny moments, and the supporting characters also contribute to the humour.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, Season 2 is slower than the first season, which had a sense of discovery, while Dhadakpur itself felt new.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The new chapter already has the advantage of familiar characters, but the writing does not always use that familiarity effectively, and several tracks take time to develop.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After a point, the pacing becomes noticeably slow, and there are scenes where viewers may feel like fast-forwarding.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>While the sequel has most of the ingredients that worked previously, including quirky villagers, family relationships and situational humour, it does not necessarily recreate the same experience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/gajraj-rao-s-heartwarming-new-adevrtisement-is-making-everyone-cry-here-s-why-1772005759484"><strong>Gajraj Rao's heartwarming new advertisement is making everyone cry</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There is also a lot happening simultaneously, with several storylines competing for attention. Renuka Shahane's Pushplata, in particular, could have benefited from more screen time and a more developed track.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The show definitely has several funny situations, but not every joke lands.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Coming to the performances, Gajraj Rao and Sparsh Shrivastava continue to stand out, while Shivani Raghuvanshi, Bhuvan Arora and Renuka Shahane also play their respective roles with sincerity.</p><p>Yashpal Sharma gets some of the season's more grounded scenes and brings a different energy.</p><p>Dinesh Lal Yadav, as Pratham Kumar, also adds a different flavour to the ensemble and makes his presence felt.</p><h2>Verdict</h2><p>Dupahiya 2 is worth watching for those who enjoyed the first season, as it retains many of the elements that made the original appealing. The characters are likeable, Dhadakpur continues to be an entertaining setting, and the series has plenty of amusing situations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, Season 2 is slower, and you will feel that some of the subplots could have been tighter. The freshness is missing in Season 2, but Dhadakpur is still a pleasant place to return to.</p>
