<p>Donald Trump isn't letting Stephen Colbert ride off into the sunset quietly. Just hours after The Late Show with Stephen Colbert aired its final episode on CBS, the US President took to Truth Social to ‘celebrate’ the show’s end and issue a sharp warning to the rest of late-night television.</p><h2>‘Beginning of the End’</h2><p>In a Friday morning post, Trump didn't hold back, framing Colbert’s departure not as a routine television finale, but as a forced exit. He called it the “Beginning of the End” for what he described as "untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts." He even predicted that Colbert's peers would soon suffer the same fate. "Others, of even less talent, to soon follow," Trump wrote, capping the message off with a biting, "May they all Rest in Peace!"</p>

Trump's post on Truth Social

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was the second time in 24 hours that the President used his platform to celebrate the end of Colbert's show. In an earlier post, Trump called the popular host a "jerk" and compared his onscreen presence to a "dead person." Claiming that poor ratings drove CBS to cancel the program, Trump added, "You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he's finally gone!"</p>

<p> </p><h2>What was the actual reason behind ending Colbert’s show?</h2><p>Trump may have been celebrating the end of the show and citing arbitrary reasons behind the move, the entertainment world, however, points to a different narrative behind the curtain. While CBS officially cited rising costs and shifting ratings for pulling the plug, industry insiders have long tied the cancellation to the massive Skydance-Paramount merger. The network announced the end of The Late Show in July of last year, right before the merger secured necessary government approval in August.</p><h2>Trump’s long feud with comedy show hosts</h2><p>Trump’s public feud with late-night comedy is nothing new. Comedians like Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver have spent years making him a focal point of their monologues, and Trump has frequently hit back.</p><p> </p><p>Lately, his rants have been aimed at Jimmy Kimmel. Last September, Trump publicly demanded ABC fire Kimmel over jokes made in the wake of the Charlie Kirk shooting. The tension escalated last month following a security incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, when First Lady Melania Trump urged the network to discipline Kimmel for a previous joke. The President quickly backed her up, echoing the call for Kimmel to be taken off the air.</p><p> </p><p>Meanwhile, Colbert has already moved on to a new career path. Rather than retirement, the comedian is pivoting to a major new passion project: he is set to write the screenplay for an upcoming Lord of the Rings film, collaborating directly with director Peter Jackson.</p>

<p>Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri feature in a comedy of errors in the new film Maa Behen.

Maa Behen also features popular content creator Dharna Durga in the lead, along with Ravi Kishan.&nbsp;</p><h2>Maa Behen trailer</h2><p>The trailer shows Madhuri Dixit playing Rekha, a somewhat promiscuous woman, who over-dramatises the situation. She and her daughters, Jaya (Triptii Dimri) and Sushma (Dharna) are shown to be constantly bickering while Jaya complains about Rekha’s flirtatious nature despite being a widow.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Things get complicated when their neighbour, Gupta Ji (Ravi Kishan), dies mysteriously inside Rekha’s home.

<h2>About Maa Behen</h2><p>Produced by Abundantia Entertainment in association with Opening Image Films and directed by Suresh Triveni, the film promises a mix of family drama, crime, and comedy. The film is set to release on Netflix on June 4.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking about her character, Rekha, Madhuri Dixit said, “Rekha is not your typical Hindi cinema mother, and that's exactly what made the character so exciting for me. As an actor, it’s incredibly rewarding to explore layered, unpredictable roles that challenge the audience's expectations. Rekha may not be a perfect mother, but like any mother, she wants the best for her daughters and tries to hold her family together amidst all the chaos. Thanks to creators like Suresh Triveni and partners like Netflix and Abundantia Entertainment, who are trying to push the envelope, I got the opportunity to present audiences with this unexpected story and character. Maa Behen is an entertainer that will be most enjoyed with the full family - maa behen, bhai, dost.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Triptii Dimri added,<strong> </strong>“Jaya is the ghar ki sushil beti (responsible and well-mannered), but she also has a strong sense of right and wrong. She’s constantly trying to manage the chaos around her, only to get pulled deeper into it. The dynamic between the two sisters, with all the banter and madness, was one of my favourite parts. Sharing screen space with the legendary Madhuri Dixit, someone who made an entire generation fall in love with cinema, is truly surreal. For me, this feels like a homecoming. Some of my most loved work has been with Netflix, and having made my streaming debut with them makes this journey even more special. I’m grateful to Netflix and Abundantia Entertainment for trusting me with Maa Behen and a character that will truly surprise audiences.”</p>

While the actor was on a visit to Tulail village in North Kashmir's Bandipora district, he interacted with school children and residents, and that's when he reportedly decided to support the school after witnessing the difficulties faced by the students. During the same visit, he also interacted with the Border Security Force personnel, posed for photographs and also danced with them. He also laid a wreath at a war memorial in the region, paying tribute to soldiers who laid their lives in the line of duty.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After returning from his visit, Akshay Kumar took to his social media handle to share his experience of meeting the Border Security Force personnel, describing it as memorable and humbling.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, after the completion of the school's work, the students are studying in a better educational environment. Residents of the area and school children have expressed that the upgraded infrastructure has brought a visible difference to the schooling experience. Locals are of the belief that the improved facilities will help create stronger academic opportunities for children being raised in the country's most isolated region.</p>

The upgraded infrastructure of the school has offered a better learning environment for the students residing in the far-flung village near the Line of Control. The newly constructed block features classrooms, a computer laboratory, a library and office space for the faculty.

Oil prices are rising, sea trade routes are blocked, the energy that powers our kitchen and homes, fertilises and nourishes our fields and crops, fuel that drives our industries and vehicles, all have gotten more expensive. In response, more than 60 countries have already imposed energy-saving rules. We recently heard Singapore’s Prime Minister asking his people to prepare for tough times ahead. We are a much larger country,” he added.</p>

<p>Haasan further said this is a time when politicians must rise above party lines and, setting aside differences, come together to save the country.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“In moments like this, national responsibility must rise above party politics.

<h2>Kamal Haasan hailed PM Modi's government push</h2><p>As the US-Iran war severely disrupts the Strait of Hormuz and worsens the global energy crisis, PM Modi urged citizens to adopt lifestyle changes to cut down on petrol and diesel consumption, avoid unnecessary domestic business travel, use public transport, and more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“In moments like this, national responsibility must rise above party politics. As Mr Vajpayee ji famously said, governments will come and go, but the nation shall remain. During the 1962 China war, we donated gold from our homes to support our soldiers fighting at the border. In 1965, when India did not have enough food grains, Lal Bahadur Shastri ji asked citizens to skip one meal a week for the whole nation,” he said, adding, “Today, India does not need such sacrifice. Surely, we must do this for our country when our parents did much more.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Earlier, Haasan shared a post as he urged film industry to reduce production expenses. Recently, he opted to travel on a commercial economy flight instead of a charter jet for Kalki 2 shoot.</p>

Kamal Haasan shared a video urging Indian citizens to cut down on energy use and focus on conservation amid the crisis in West Asia, saying it is time for national unity.

Amid a West Asia crisis, Kamal Haasan has been continuously urging people to adopt measures to save foreign exchange and conserve energy. Recently, the actor, who is Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) president and a Rajya Sabha MP, again shared a video supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for energy conservation. Haasan, who never shies away from sharing his political views, emphasized the importance of conserving energy. He said this is a time when we must rise above politics and come together for the country. Kamal Haasan Supports PM Modi’s Fuel-Saving Call On Friday, the actor posted a video on Instagram supporting PM Modi and urging fellow citizens to come together to reduce energy consumption. “My dear fellow countrymen, today I speak to you as an Indian deeply concerned by the impact of the Iran War,” Haasan said. “Today, I speak to you as an Indian deeply concerned by the impact of the Iran war. Oil prices are rising, sea trade routes are blocked, the energy that powers our kitchen and homes, fertilises and nourishes our fields and crops, fuel that drives our industries and vehicles, all have gotten more expensive. In response, more than 60 countries have already imposed energy-saving rules. We recently heard Singapore’s Prime Minister asking his people to prepare for tough times ahead. We are a much larger country,” he added.

<p>Things fall quite easily in the lap of public prosecutor Neha Rajvansh (Sonakshi Sinha) in Ashwini Iyer Tiwari’s new film System. Neha may be working to get the underprivileged justice in the Delhi court as a public prosecutor, but she comes from a position of privilege. While she is out there to prove a point to her successful father, she is also aware of her limitations and thus takes the help of courtroom stenographer Satika Rawat (Jyotika). Two women headlining a courtroom drama in Bollywood is novel, even though the premise is a known one. But does Iyer Tiwari’s film deliver a sharp courtroom drama? Only in parts.</p><h2>What’s the plot of System?</h2><p>Sonakshi plays a public prosecutor, who is just waiting to fulfil her dad’s challenge of winning 10 cases on her own steam before she is inducted into the family law firm as a partner. Her father, Ravi Rajvansh (Ashutosh Gowarikar) is one of the most successful lawyers of the city, but wants his daughter to go through the grind of being a government lawyer in the court to value what she is born into. Neha is initially reluctant, but later takes it up as a challenge just to prove her father wrong. A shared ride to the court one morning leads Neha to Sarika Rawat, the court stenographer who is just a degree short of being a lawyer herself. Diligent and hardworking, Sarika seems to know and understand legal cases better than Neha.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Sonakshi Sinha plays Neha Rajvansh

<p> </p><p>When a passing tip helps Neha to win a case, she convinces Sarika to help her with her future cases, and Sarika agrees for the extra cash. Neha and Sarika win 9 cases smoothly, but it's the 10th case that becomes a turning point in their career. Neha has to face her father in court in a suspected murder case of an influencer. The accussed happens to be Ravi’s old client, real estate giant Vikram Bajral. Considering she is up against the invincible dad, who is ruthless in the courtroom, the odds are all against Neha and proving Bajral guilty seems like a herculean task. Will she be able to crack the final case as a public prosecutor and fulfil her dad’s wish for the rest of the story.</p><h2>What works and what does not</h2><p>Written by Harman Baweja and Akshat Ghildial, the film begins on a promising note. The screenplay is detailed and shows Neha as a privileged, frivolous soul who would rather scroll reels and check out new restaurant reccos in her free time than research. Then there is Sarika, a woman who is working double shifts to make ends meet and help her daughter get a good education and care for her paralysed husband. The two women come from strikingly different backgrounds, and it is Sarika who helps Neha get a foothold in the city as she steps out of her mansion after an argument with her father. Neha comes from privilege but is constantly mollycodled by father, brother or boyfriend. It is only the women who cheer for her, first the mother and then Sarika.</p><p> </p><p>Iyer Tiwari’s films have usually had very strong female leads. From Panga, to Bareilly Ki Barfi, to Nil Battey Sannata, all films have shown women coming of age and becoming independent individuals. System is no different, Sarika acts as an agent of change for Neha, who is initially in the game to win and prove her father wrong, not fighting for justice.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>The casting of Sonakshi feels meta (nepo baby playing legal nepo baby), and the actress cake walks through the role of Neha Rajvansh. She is your regular entitled heiress, who only grows a spine in the latter half of the film. There is Ashutosh Gowarikar playing a self-assured, slightly arrogant Ravi Rajvansh who seems preachy, always ready with a lesson or two for his children. Gowarikar and Sonakshi’s scenes, especially, the underlying tension between the two feels mechanical- as if both actors are only reading out the part and not feeling the emotions.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jyotika, on the other hand, plays the observant, silent and calculative Sarika well. She has been wronged by society, but is always keen to work hard to build a comfortable life for her family. Jyotika, much like the character she plays on screen, seems earnest in her role.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Jyotika plays Sarika Rawat

<p> </p><p>While the film begins on a promising note, it ends in a whimper. You almost know who the killer is somewhere in the middle of the film. The narrative is clumpy and states the obvious things. Even the climax feels underwhelming because the film never builds a premise well for any of the characters. Instead, it takes too much time to establish the class divide. Things feel too easy for Neha right from the word go, but while the viewers get it, Neha takes a long time to understand that a lot of it is being served on a platter to her.</p><p> </p><p>I wish the makers had invested more in highlighting the performances of the two women. Iyer Tiwari’s films always have memorable moments and characters, but sadly, in the case of System, every character seems passable and forgettable after a point.</p><h2>Final Verdict</h2><p>System is well-intended but has too many flaws to leave a lasting impression. It begins with so much promise, it has two strong women cheering each other and helping each other in a man-eat-man world and the two actors even deliver credible performances. Yet, System never fully adds up. You are invested in the story, you wait for the punchlines or a major plot twist, but nothing overwhelms or shocks you by the end of it.</p><p> </p><p>System is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.</p>

System movie review: Ashwini Iyer Tiwari's latest film is a courtroom drama featuring Sonakshi Sinha, Jyotika and Ashutosh Gowarikar in key roles. While the film boasts of good performances from the leads, the narrative fails to create a lasting impression.

Mohanlal’s iconic thriller Drishyam gets Indonesian adaptation- Details inside

<p>The Cannes Film Festival has long been synonymous with cinema, couture, and global stardom. But in recent years, the iconic red carpet has also become a space where digital creators and influencers are making their presence felt. It was Nancy Tyagi who, with her talent, caught the attention of the world in 2024. Not just her, several other content creators appear at Canns not just as guests. They use the platform to showcase their talent and represent their country.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This year, global content creator Krutika, aka TheMermaidScales, and Nidhi Kumar were among the many content creators who showed off their fashion style at Cannes. They brought their own unique journeys to Cannes, offering a glimpse into what the experience truly looks like beyond the glamour seen on social media. In an exclusive interview with WION, both Nidhi and Krutika have shared their experiences of attending the festival, the challenges they face, content creation and more.</p><h2>Feeling of being at the Cannes Film Festival</h2><p>For Nidhi, walking the Cannes red carpet for the first time felt “emotional and rewarding,” especially after a decade of being in the business of content creation. Krutika, meanwhile, described the experience as “surreal,” saying it felt like stepping into a moment she had only imagined before. “It was one of those rare experiences where time slows down and you just want to hold onto the feeling forever,” she shared.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While social media often captures only the glamour and the viral moments of Cannes, both creators spoke candidly about the reality behind the picture-perfect moments. From nonstop fittings and packed schedules to exhaustion and constant movement, the festival demands far more than what audiences usually see online</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>''People think Cannes is only glamour and red carpets, but there’s so much discipline, pressure, and hard work behind every appearance. The schedules are intense and every moment is planned in detail,'' Nidhi shared, who attended the festival, channelling Madhuri Dixit in a stunning Indian atttire designed by Rachit Khanna.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Talking about what social media rarely shows, Krutika said, “the long hours, constant planning, stress, revisions, and hard work that happen behind the scenes to make everything look effortless.”</p><h2>Love for cinema</h2><p>Yet beyond the fashion and frenzy, what impacted them most was the festival’s deep respect for cinema itself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Both creators talked about the atmosphere inside the screening halls as one of the most unforgettable parts of the experience. Krutika recalled being stunned by the sheer scale. When asked what surprised you most once you entered the screening hall, both mentioned the enormity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“People from all over the world come together because they genuinely love cinema:” Krutika</p><h2>Cannes is now important for both influencers and films&nbsp;</h2><p>‘’Definitely, because creators today are shaping culture and global conversations in a huge way. Audiences connect deeply with digital creators, and brands recognize that impact now,'' Nidhi shared.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adding to this, Krutika, who missed the chance to see Demi Moore, said, ''Yes, Cannes has evolved beyond being just a space for film stars. Today, it has also become important for influencers, creators, and digital personalities because it celebrates art, individuality, fashion, and storytelling in all forms. While cinema remains at its heart, Cannes now brings together people from different creative industries who use their own platforms to tell stories and inspire audiences worldwide.''&nbsp;</p>

The Cannes Film Festival is no longer limited to movies and stars, it's now a platform for representation of culture, roots and traditions. As Cannes is underway, we spoke exclusively with two content creators about what they think of the festival and how it is different for content creators and more. 

The Cannes Film Festival has long been synonymous with cinema, couture, and global stardom. But in recent years, the iconic red carpet has also become a space where digital creators and influencers are making their presence felt. It was Nancy Tyagi who, with her talent, caught the attention of the world in 2024. Not just her, several other content creators appear at Canns not just as guests. They use the platform to showcase their talent and represent their country. This year, global content creator Krutika, aka TheMermaidScales, and Nidhi Kumar were among the many content creators who showed off their fashion style at Cannes. They brought their own unique journeys to Cannes, offering a glimpse into what the experience truly looks like beyond the glamour seen on social media. In an exclusive interview with WION, both Nidhi and Krutika have shared their experiences of attending the festival, the challenges they face, content creation and more. Feeling of being at the Cannes Film Festival For Nidhi, walking the Cannes red carpet for the first time felt “emotional and rewarding,” especially after a decade of being in the business of content creation. Krutika, meanwhile, described the experience as “surreal,” saying it felt like stepping into a moment she had only imagined before. “It was one of those rare experiences where time slows down and you just want to hold onto the feeling forever,” she shared. While social media often captures only the glamour and the viral moments of Cannes, both creators spoke candidly about the reality behind the picture-perfect moments. From nonstop fittings and packed schedules to exhaustion and constant movement, the festival demands far more than what audiences usually see online ''People think Cannes is only glamour and red carpets, but there’s so much discipline, pressure, and hard work behind every appearance. The schedules are intense and every moment is planned in detail,'' Nidhi shared, who attended the festival, channelling Madhuri Dixit in a stunning Indian atttire designed by Rachit Khanna. Talking about what social media rarely shows, Krutika said, “the long hours, constant planning, stress, revisions, and hard work that happen behind the scenes to make everything look effortless.” Love for cinema Yet beyond the fashion and frenzy, what impacted them most was the festival’s deep respect for cinema itself. Both creators talked about the atmosphere inside the screening halls as one of the most unforgettable parts of the experience. Krutika recalled being stunned by the sheer scale. When asked what surprised you most once you entered the screening hall, both mentioned the enormity.
