Ajay Devgn's upcoming action film Chauhaan has courted controversy just days after its title and first glimpse were unveiled by the makers.

The caption of the post read, "We strongly condemn the attempt by Neeraj Yadav and Ajay Devgn's upcoming film Chauhaan to appropriate the Chauhaan clan name for contemporary communal politics. Rajput history is not a political prop. The legacy of the Chauhans belongs to Rajput history, not to electoral narratives of manufactured controversies of external agents.

<p>Rath Yatra, also known as the Chariot Festival, is one of India's oldest and most celebrated Hindu festivals.

Pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL icon Travis Kelce are reportedly planning a massive, high-security wedding at Madison Square Garden over the Fourth of July weekend. Industry legends Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw will perform for the guests. 

The upcoming nuptials of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are shaping up to be the celebrity event of the century. As the couple prepares for a rumoured Independence Day weekend wedding (July 4–5, 2026), new reports suggest that the guest list will double up as an all-star concert lineup, featuring performances by music royalty.

<p>“If this be victory,” he says, “I pray I never win another.” Corlys, who is alive, says. And this sums up what is the episode &nbsp;2 is all about.</p><p><br>Starting right after the Battle of the Gullet and the death of Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy)'s son, Jacaerys Velaryon, the crown prince. She's devastated, and revenge is surely on her mind, along with more Daemon (Matt Smith), which I asked for in my review of episode 1. Things have grown more brutal, but this episode, titled 'Queen's Landing,' and the name itself sums up what happens. With more intense drama, grief, and the deaths we expect when Daemon is back, this episode is surely more gripping than what we were welcomed with.</p>

Still from House of Dragon season 3

<p>After losing the crown prince, what has Rhaenyra left but tears? But that's not the case. Episode 2 gives us things that were expected much later this season. But as events have happened much before their time, it will be interesting to see where the story moves ahead. A lot has happened in a way that will surely not have good returns.</p><h3>What happens in Episode 2?</h3><p>Starting with the dragons, who have set every boat on the water ablaze, there is devastation and bodies floating across the waters. And among them is one body the Queen was not expecting at all. With all the grief, it’s eye-for-an-eye time. While the Blacks seek revenge, the Greens, led by Aegon Targaryen in the past, now by Alicent, know this will only lead to a bloodbath, and she’s not going to risk her life. So she goes on the run with Princess Helaena Targaryen, and this with the relief that his son, Aemond is save at Harrenhal, where actually things have not gone in his favour. I won't share more here, as for me, especially, this was the most satifying scene of the show.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>More tears, fewer dragons</h3><p>What really impressed me in this episode is how the story takes the forefront, more than the war. Words and dialogue are front and centre at the table, rather than swords and beheadings, although those are still there, including some we didn't expect. But the other thing that throws you off is how incoherent this episode is. What makes it worthwhile, though, is Emma’s performance. She truly delivers one of her best, as a mother who is grieving, as a Queen who has to fight for her own throne, and the price is her own children.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>In one of the most impactful scenes, Rhaenyra stands before the Iron Throne with Otto Hightower on his knees in front of her. She hesitates to behead him, and her first attempt fails. In the second time, she kills him and walks away bloodied, with unsteady steps we haven’t seen from her before. That’s where the raw emotion hits; she’s angry, but it’s her grief and vulnerability that break through. And those first five minutes of the episode stick with you. Emma D’Arcy says everything with just her eyes. Those opening moments alone are enough to impress.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rhaenyra has returned to her throne, and the Greens are on the back foot. One is winning, other, seems like it is losing. Yet both houses seem bound to the same fate - death, unprecedented fear, and grief.</p><p><br>What doesn’t work in episode 2 is the inconsistency, and this has been the case with many Game of Thrones episodes as well. With so many characters, in trying to cover them all, so much happens that you miss parts of it. In this case, the two scenario, one was of the Sea Snake with his kids, and the second of the Daemon with Alys Rivers (played by Gayle Rankin).&nbsp;</p>

<p>But despite all this, the arc of the show remains gripping, and Emma D’Arcy’s performance makes you forget everything else.No matter how much I hate Aemond Targaryen, Ewan Mitchell’s performance brings that character to life. Except for that weird kiss, his character isn’t fully realized yet either. Still, fingers crossed, I’m waiting for more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Alicent faces her own struggles as a mother, doing everything she can to save her children. But will she keep them all alive? Only time will tell.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This episode was more about ambition and human emotions playing with no wins, but with all this, things are tearing apart, and it's quite evident with Rhaenyra's tears.</p>

Episode 2 is all about Emma D'Arcy. Episode 2 gives us things that were expected much later this season. But as events have happened much before their time, it will be interesting to see where the story moves ahead.

“If this be victory,” he says, “I pray I never win another.” Corlys, who is alive, says. And this sums up what is the episode 2 is all about.

The Family Man creator Raj Nidimoru has shared a major update about the next chapter of the beloved series, confirming that work on Season 4 is well underway. The acclaimed spy thriller led by Manoj Bajpayee, and the ending of Season 3 left several storylines unresolved, sparking speculation among viewers about Srikant Tiwari's future.

Also Read: The Family Man 3 review: Manoj Bajpayee returns in an emotionally heavy thriller "We had always planned Seasons 3 and 4 as one long story. Some viewers felt Season 3 ended midway, but in our minds, the central narrative had reached a logical point. Only Srikant Tiwari’s journey remained unfinished because it naturally continued into the next season. So yes, we’re writing furiously. We have to get to the second part of that story," he said.

Perhaps because of the controversies around him, people may have shied from making a film. Michael comes decades after MJ’s death and caters to an audience which never grew up to his music and has only heard about his greatness and dark deeds from older siblings or parents. The film thus fails to connect with the audience, with the screenplay stating the obvious and never exploring deeper into his life or the craze around his voice. Go and watch Michael if you are a fan of his music, like me. Or go and witness a young actor like Jaafar Jackson own the screen with his performance. But be warned, the film does not leave a lasting impression like MJ’s music has done for decades."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-michael-all-that-you-need-to-know-about-michael-jacksons-biopic-684047"><strong>Michael: All that you need to know about Michael Jackson's biopic</strong></a></p><h2>About Michael</h2><p>The biographical drama showcases Michael Jackson's journey from performing with the Jackson 5 to becoming one of the most influential entertainers in the world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The singer's role is played by his nephew, Jaafar Jackson, while Colman Domingo and Nia Long portray his parents, Joe and Katherine Jackson.<br>&nbsp;</p>

After years of wariness between movie theaters and streaming services, Apple is committed to producing films for both platforms. The films will typically play out their theatrical runs based on audience demand before releasing on streaming app. 

Tech giant Apple views movie theaters as allies in its fight to carve out a space for its platform in the competitive streaming sector, a top company executive told AFP. The firm, which launched Apple TV+ in 2019 without any third-party content, has won over critics in recent years, and is so far the only streaming platform to win the best picture Oscar, with "CODA" in 2022. It also shook up the box office with "F1: The Movie," the high-octane motor racing drama starring Brad Pitt, which grossed $634.1 million worldwide and earned the company another Academy Award this year, this time for best sound. After years of wariness between movie theaters and streaming services, Eddy Cue, the company's senior vice president of services and health, said Apple is committed to producing films for both platforms, allowing them to play out their theatrical runs based on audience demand rather than adhering to rigid release windows. "If a movie like 'F1' was on theatrical longer than 45 days (it was) because people wanted to watch it theatrically, they wanted to watch it in an IMAX theater," he told AFP. "Theatrical is a great experience, it's here to stay, and I think it's growing." While viewers might initially want to see a blockbuster on a big screen, they love the chance to rewatch it when it turns up on the streaming service, now rebranded as Apple TV. Cinema and streaming are "very complementary. I think they can both work together," Cue said. The company, headquartered in California, is gearing up to produce a sequel to "F1," with Cue saying the plot and script are currently in development. It "was the biggest sports movie of all time. It was Brad Pitt's biggest movie of all time, and I do think that people want to see another one," he said. Cue, who has been credited with revolutionizing Apple's services sector, was recognized this week as the Entertainment Person of the Year at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
