<p>Explaining the story behind the perfect proposal moment, Kapoor stated, “I had already tipped our guide and asked them to stop somewhere in the middle of the jungle. I had brought a ring and planned to get down on one knee and ask them to take a photograph from a distance, because girls love posting photographs on Instagram. I thought it was very important for Alia.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Calling Alia a lioness and himself a mouse, the actor continued, “I had brought the ring from home. But there were three lions about 100 feet away on one side, and my lioness was standing in front of me. I was like a mouse, down on my knees, asking, ‘Baby, will you marry me?’ It was an extraordinary experience of my life, and I will always remember it.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/ramayana-promotion-takes-a-funny-turn-after-ranbir-kapoor-s-verbal-blunder-leaves-fans-in-splits-watch-1792581964826"><strong>Ramayana promotion takes a funny turn after Ranbir's verbal blunder | Watch</strong></a></p><h2>Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's love story</h2><p>Alia Bhatt has known Kapoor since childhood, as she first met him on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s <i>Balika Vadhu</i> and later on the sets of <i>Black</i>, when she auditioned for Bhansali’s film, where Ranbir worked as an assistant director.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>The birthday appearance on Monday stood out because it came from Ranbir's new home, adding a fresh touch to the annual celebrations surrounding the actor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Unlike several Bollywood stars who regularly greet fans from outside their homes on special occasions, Ranbir has generally kept such public appearances limited, making the balcony interaction particularly notable for those waiting to see him.</p><h2>Alia wishes the ‘cutie’</h2><p>Alia Bhatt took to Instagram on Monday evening to wish her husband. Images of their personal moments were shared on the social media with Alia captioning them as ‘HBD Cutie’. In the first image, Ranbir can be seen sitting on Alia’s lap as she hugs him. Another image shows Ranbir holding their baby daughter Raha and smiling for the camera. Alia and Ranbir’s wedding reception photo was also added to the carousel, along with a photo from the sets of Brahmastra, where the two first started dating.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ranbir Kapoor turns 44</h2><p>Born on September 28, 1982, Ranbir Kapoor is the son of veteran actors Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. The actor has spent more than a decade and a half in Hindi cinema, building a filmography that includes Rockstar, Barfi!, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Sanju, Brahmastra and Animal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ranbir married Alia Bhatt in April 2022 and are parents to daughter Raha Kapoor. His birthday this year comes amid anticipation around his upcoming projects, including Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, in which he plays Lord Ram.

He will also feature in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love &amp; War alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.&nbsp;</p>

Ranbir Kapoor celebrated his 44th birthday at his new home in Mumbai. The actor and his wife, Alia Bhatt, briefly stepped out onto the balcony to wave at fans gathered outside their new home. 

Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor rang in his 44th birthday on Monday afternoon as he greeted paps outside his new home in Mumbai. The actor cut a few cakes in the presence of the media and thanked them for wishing him. It was a special birthday for Ranbir, who got to celebrate the day at his new home, which has been in the making for some time now. The actor, along with his wife and actress Alia Kapoor, later stepped onto the balcony and waved at those waiting outside his home, making his first birthday appearance from his residence. Hours later, Alia took to Instagram to share some photos of the couple’s private moments together, including one with their daughter Raha. Ranbir celebrates birthday at new home Videos of Ranbir and Alia waving from the balcony of their new home made the rounds of the internet on Monday.

<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>

Had a long and wonderful day in the city, beginning with my annual visit to Lalbaugcha Raja to seek Bappa's blessings.

<p>The YRF Spy Universe has all male-led films such as Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3 and War 2. Hrithik Roshan also makes a cameo in the movie as Kabir.</p><h3><br>What is Alpha's story?</h3><p>In the film, Alia Bhatt plays Sita, who is kidnapped as an infant by Lt. Colonel Fateh Singh Shekhawat (Bobby Deol). Raised in a run-down oil refinery, she is subjected to weekly tests for his top-secret experiment, codenamed Alpha, a revolutionary serum developed after the Kargil War under Colonel Luthra's supervision to accelerate healing in soldiers and build an elite special task force. Sita is the only person on whom the serum shows results. Groomed by Shekhawat into a deadly assassin, she lives a life of complete isolation, with no idea that her father is still alive or that she has a twin sister, Durga (Sharvari).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-sequel-brad-pitt-s-next-chapter-as-cliff-booth-takes-shape-official-title-and-teaser-unveiled-1787812800313">Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel gets new official title, teaser</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The movie failed to impress viewers with its story and the way the spies were portrayed, especially after audiences had experienced Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar universe. Despite the buzz, the film underperformed at the box office, earning around Rs 99 crore worldwide on a budget of Rs 100 crore.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Alpha review</h3><p>WION's film critic, Shomini Sen, wrote,''I am all for an all-women team of spies, killing, hitting and eliminating bad men. It is a different high to witness a film that has women taking charge and doing the heavy lifting. But Alpha messes up from the word go. Its execution is poor, its plot is wafer-thin. It bores you more than it thrills you. Alpha tries to use the same template that it had for the Tiger series and Pathaan, making the film feel jaded. It's an utter mess,''<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/alpha-movie-review-alia-bhatt-sharvari-s-film-is-a-flat-tedious-addition-to-the-spy-universe-1783072272145"> read more here.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>Known for her remarkable range and fearless choice of roles, Alia’s arrival marks a defining moment for the film. Her ability to seamlessly move between intimate character-driven performances and large-scale cinematic spectacles has consistently made her one of the most compelling actors of her generation. Her collaboration with actor-producer Sohum Shah, the creative force behind the Tumbbad franchise, alongside the formidable Nawazuddin Siddiqui, promises an exciting new chapter for the much-loved universe.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>The coming together of these artists brings together three very different creative forces, each contributing a distinct perspective to the world of Tumbbad. With Sohum continuing to shape the universe he helped create, Nawazuddin bringing his unmistakable intensity, and Alia stepping into one of the franchise’s most significant new roles, Tumbbad 2 promises a compelling new dynamic while staying true to the spirit that made the original a modern classic.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Alia Bhatt said,“Tumbbad has stayed with me ever since I first watched it. Very few films create a world that feels this original and immersive, and even fewer continue to grow in people’s imagination years after they’ve released. That’s what makes this opportunity so exciting. To now become a part of that world is incredibly special. I’m looking forward to working with Sohum and Nawaz, two artists I’ve admired for a long time, and to exploring a character that belongs to a story as rich, mysterious and unforgettable as Tumbbad. I can’t wait for audiences to experience what we’re creating together.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sohum Shah, “Having Alia Bhatt come on board for Tumbbad 2 is truly delightful for all of us. She is undoubtedly one of the most talented actresses of this generation, and I am sure the audience will get to witness something unique with her in the film. We have all witnessed her incredible performances on screen right from her debut. This is my first collaboration with her, and I am genuinely looking forward to working together.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Tumbbad 2 is being spearheaded by actor-producer Sohum Shah under his banner Sohum Shah Films, in collaboration with Pen Studios, headed by veteran producer Dr. Jayantilal Gada. The film is directed by Adesh Prasad, who is helming the highly anticipated next chapter of the Tumbbad universe.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pen Studios, known for backing blockbuster films such as RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi, joins hands to bring the film to life on a grand cinematic scale. Tumbbad 2 is slated to release in cinemas on 3rd December 2027.</p>

Alpha tries to use the same template that it had for the Tiger series and Pathaan, making the film feel jaded. It's an utter mess. These high-octane action thrillers are all looking the same.

Alpha X review: Fans call Alia Bhatt's spy thriller ‘predictable, outdated & boring’

<p>First things first. Alia Bhatt is no Lara Croft and YRF is no Marvel. The studio’s latest release, Alpha, projects Alia Bhatt as a deadly assassin, treated like a lab rat since her birth, who goes rogue and turns against her mentor, played by Bobby Deol. On paper, the film may have felt like a brilliant idea. After all, YRF pitches two heroines as the lead, flexing muscles, killing bad guys without any male superstar. However, the film's execution is shoddy and stereotypical, making Alpha a slow-paced, cleaner reverse of Dhurandhar. Confused? Let me explain</p><h2>Plot of Alpha</h2><p>Alia Bhatt is estranged from her biological father, Colonel Luthra (Anil Kapoor) right at her birth. Kidnapped by Lt Colonel Fateh Singh Shekhawat (Bobby Deol), Sita grows up in a run-down oil refinery where she is weekly tested for Shekhawat’s secret mission called Project Alpha. Alpha was a life-changing serum developed to help soldiers heal quickly. The secret mission was carried out under Luthra’s leadership soon after the Kargil war to create a special task force. Sita, being the only human on whom the serum had worked, is trained by Shekhawat to be a deadly assassin, but at the cost of being completely isolated from her family, unaware of her father and a twin sister, Durga (Sharvari).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>20 years later, Sita turns rogue and decides to eliminate the man whom she fondly called Baba all her life. On the way, she reconnects with family, sister and dad, who is now the R&amp;AW chief, and together they have to eliminate Shekhawat and his army of masked men. Shekhawat is not who he seems to be. Let's just say he is Ranveer Singh from Dhurandhar, but reverse. Get it?</p><h2>What works and what does not</h2><p>Helmed by Shiv Rawail and written by Soumil Shukla and Shridhar Raghavan, ALpha sets out to be a story of personal vendetta but somewhere along the way becomes a spy thriller. It is a known fact that Alia Bhatt has great screen presence and is a good actor. Give her any role, and she delivers. In Alpha, we see her in a very different avatar, that of a cold-blooded assassin who kills before talking. While she kicks and punches with utmost conviction, Alia still feels out of place in most of the action sequences. Call it conditioning of one’s mind, but somehow a petite Alia does not really fit the bill of a deadly spy who takes on men double her size with complete nonchalance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There is Sharvari, who is introduced in a completely unncesary song sequence which looks like a long advertorial of Puma or Nike or a similar brand. Sharvari , who impressed one and all with her performance in Main Vaapas Aaunga a few weeks back, plays the chirpy counterpart of Sita in Alpha. The scenes of the two women, exploring the wilderness of what we are told is Kashmir, while on the run, are nice even though limited. Wish they had shown the two actresses learning and discovering more about each other, reconnecting after being separated at birth. But writers spent too much time establishing how deadly Shekhawat is and a very convoluted Project Alpha and thus skipped the good parts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When you have good actors on board, the makers waste them in mind-numbing action sequences and random skin show. At one point, the two sisters jump off a cliff but first strip to funky swimwear and then dive in. On the run, with limited means and food, the girls somehow manage to keep changing their outfits throughout- all very stylish tank tops and cargos. But logic and continuity are not Alpha’s strong points.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hrithik Roshan pops up in between, doing a mandala in a monastery quietly. While the sequence is well choreographed, it is completely forced.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the time the interval happens, the film has nose-dived into an illogical mess. At some point, Sharvari is shot and is recuperating in Leh. In the next scene, she is leading a group of Indian commandos in Cherapunji to eliminate Shekhawat and his boys. The climax is just a lot of action sequence which make no sense. What begins as Sita’s journey slowly becomes a story of saving India and India’s honour. The country is even described as the ‘best boss’ in the world!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol are there to flex their muscles. Both play father figures to Alia, but their roles are so badly written that you don't feel any emotion for them- not even for the villain.

It is a different high to witness a film that has women taking charge and doing the heavy lifting. But Alpha messes up from the word go. Its execution is poor, its plot is wafer-thin. It bores you more than it thrills you. Alpha tries to use the same template that it had for the Tiger series and Pathaan, making the film feel jaded.

Alpha movie review: Alia Bhatt and Sharvari are not bad in YRF's spy thriller, but the film's wafer-thin plot and terrible screenplay make it a dull movie. YRF really should give their spies some rest.
