In an unexpected encounter, Serbian influencer Stefan Janković entered the den of the bear only to find the massive beast back home at the same time.&nbsp;

Two video clips of the close encounter with the bear were shared by the influence. In one video, he was seen facing the frightening beast who sniffed the stranger after finding him at its home.

In the first video, Janković was sitting at the bottom of the den as the animal stood outside the cave. The bear then came close to him while sniffing the air and trying to understand what was happening in the den.

Watch: Man enters bear den, finds frightening beast back home. Here's what happens next

The most compelling horror movies are often about quotidian things. Ari Aster's 'Hereditary', the most frightening film of 21st century in this scribe's view, chills the viewer to the bone not because its plot features a pagan deity trying to take over the world by using vulnerable humans as his host -- though that would have been enough -- but because Aster realises like no other horror filmmaker that most compelling scares come from what is familiar. The movie explores familial trauma and grief. Demons or zombies or vampires then appear pudding in comparison.

Now, Idris Elba-led 'Beast', a survival horror thriller directed by Baltasar Kormákur, is nowhere near as highbrow or as complex as 'Hereditary'. On the contrary, thematically and plot-wise, it is as simple as its lean runtime of 93 minutes suggests. But this movie also taps into a very genuine fear of being stalked by a blood-maddened apex predator in his territory.&nbsp;

The film begins with a prologue where a group of poachers kills an almost entire pride in the dark of night. But a lone lion escapes and picks them off one by one.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oQMc7Sq36mI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Nate Samuels (Elba) is an American doctor who is visiting a forest reserve in South Africa for a lion safari to reconnect with his young daughters. Before their mother's death from cancer, Nate had separated from her and kept dithering over coming back. His elder daughter Meredith (Iyana Halley) has reason to resent her father and dislikes being dragged out into the middle of nowhere. Norah (Leah Sava Jeffries), the younger one, is more sensitive and forgiving of her father and is actually enthusiastic about the experience.

After meeting with his old friend and Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley), a wildlife biologist and their host, they set off for a safari. Along the way, they meet a pride of fully grown lions and lionesses. The terrifyingly beautiful animals greet Martin like an old friend. One of the lionesses has a wound in a paw that appears to be the result of a gunshot. Apparently, poachers prowl the lands, looking to earn big bucks by selling lion skins, teeth, and bones. In a village, they find scenes of a massacre. Pretty much everyone is mauled to death by what looks like a lion, but even more disconcertingly, none have been eaten -- just left for dead. This is not your typical lion's behaviour, Martin informs.

It turns out&nbsp;that the culprit, a particularly huge and particularly furious lion who has been killing every human he meets, was the same beast that was left alone after the poachers decimated his entire pride. And soon enough it is Nate, his daughter, and Martin who are the feline's target.

The movie's title questions whether the kind of qualities we associate with beasts -- ferocity, cruelty, and violence -- would not apply to the humans who casually kill for sport and commercial gain as opposed to animals who kill only to survive.&nbsp;

And that is as deep as the movie goes. This is not a complaint, mind you. Once in a while, a movie comes that delivers all the thrills without taxing your brain too much. Having a lead as charismatic as Elba also helps. His character is kind of inconsistent -- by turns goofball who often swivels to emotional intensity -- but the actor manages to sell it.

But the real stars of the movie are the lions. The reason is the quality of CGI and animation is simply outstanding, especially in a movie of a comparatively low budget. In a scene when the lions, the friendly ones, surround and hug Martin gave a happy jolt to me. It was breathtaking to watch. We see the entirety of the evil beastie only in the end and if I didn't know better, I would have thought they trained a real lion to claw and bite in a friendly way.

The camera angles by cinematographer Philippe Rousselot when the lion attacks are astonishingly effective in close quarters, often giving a first-person view of the ensuing carnage. This movie at times felt 3D without actually being 3D. Preferably, watch this movie in a theatre. The thrills are carefully crafted and surround sound effects complement the visuals nicely. This is thrilling filmmaking in every sense of the word.

'Beast', of course, has shortcomings. I did not mind the simplistic plot, but some might. Also, those who know their big cats intimately would realise that lions do not behave like that like the beast in the movie does. They do not take 5 minutes to kill a human in a fair fight (without firearms) -- more like a few seconds. And they can see in the dark as well as we see in the day so in the scene where Nate saves himself from the lion by just stopping? An actual lion would have instantly ripped his throat out. The story does take leaps of logic. Suspension of disbelief is often required.&nbsp;

But this are nitpicking in a movie that delivers exactly what it promised: a survival horror thriller in which Idris Elba and a lion fight. Nothing more, nothing less.&nbsp;

Now, I cannot stop yearning for a similar film on the man-eating tigers of Kumaon.

'Beast' movie review: A blood-maddened lion is loose in Idris Elba-led survival thriller

Fans couldn't keep calm as the makers of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Pathaan' dropped a motion poster of the film on Saturday. Since the film marks SRK's comeback after a gap of four years, his diehard fans are eagerly awaiting its release and every update is going viral. However, the latest motion poster has caught netizens' attention for a different reason.

Some eagle-eyed netizens have found something odd in the new motion poster. Comparing the poster of 'Pathaan' to Idris Elba's 'Beast', many are pointing out the stark resemblance between the two.

While King Khan is seen wielding a shotgun in the poster with his face partially visible and his back towards the lens, Elba is seen holding a knife in the picture but in the same pose.&nbsp;

As the discussion reached the micro-blogging site, a Twitterati said that the two posters do look similar at the first look&nbsp;but if you see them closely, it has many differences as well. Another slammed SRK and Siddharth Anand and accused them of copying the poster's theme. Twitter users took sides as the discussion moved forward and several hashtags started trending.

A user wrote, "Now Bollywood haters vil say #SRK's poster of #Pathaan is copied from #Beast starring #IdrisElba !! #ShahRukhKhan. (sic)"

Another wrote, "#Bollywood has lost its creativity completely. It started with music where they started recreating and remixing old songs and now its all over with remakes and even poster concept being copied. (sic)"

And, one tweeted, "King Khan is back (fire emojis) Are you guys excited to see this movie? I hope it is not a Beast remake #justkidding #Pathaan #Dunki #SRK. (sic)"

Netizens find uncanny resemblance between Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' and Idris Elba's 'Beast'

Tamil superstar Vijay's new film 'Beast' is all set for April 13 release. &nbsp;The highly anticipated film though will not be releasing in Kuwait, as cited by various media outlets.&nbsp; 
 
'Beast' has been directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and is a hostage drama with Vijay playing the lead role. The film reportedly depicts Muslim&nbsp;characters as terrorists - which has been objected by the Kuwait government.&nbsp; 
 
The film, therefore, has been banned in the country. Earlier Dulquer Salmaan's 'Kurup' and Vishnu Vishal's 'FIR' too had been banned for similar reasons.&nbsp;

Gravitas: All about Donald Trump's visit to India

Former &quot;boss of bosses&quot; Toto Riina, one of the most feared Godfathers in the history of the Sicilian Mafia, died early Friday after battling cancer, the government said.

Riina, who had been serving 26 life sentences and is thought to have ordered more than 150 murders, had been in a medically-induced coma after his health deteriorated following two operations.

The mobster, who turned 87 on Thursday, died in the prisoners` wing of a hospital in Parma in northern Italy just before 4:00 am (0300 GMT), a ministry of justice spokesman told AFP.

Nicknamed &quot;The Beast&quot; because of his cruelty, Salvatore &quot;Toto&quot; Riina led a reign of terror for decades after taking control of the island`s powerful organized crime group Cosa Nostra in the 1970s.

The most high-profile murders he ordered were those in 1992 of anti-mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, who had worked to bring more than 300 mobsters to trial in 1987.

&quot;Riina will go down in history as the man who destroyed Cosa Nostra,&quot; newspaper La Repubblica`s Mafia expert Attilio Bolzoni said.

&quot;With his strategy of bloody massacres in Sicily and across Italy... he turned an invisible Mafia visible, with hundreds, thousands of murders, carried out first with Kalashnikovs, then bombs&quot;.

Riina also famously ordered the brutal murder of a 13-year old boy who was kidnapped in a bid to stop his father from spilling Mafia secrets. The boy was strangled and his body dissolved in acid.

&quot;God have mercy on him, as we won`t,&quot; an association for victims said of Riina in comments to the Fatto Quotidiano daily.

Riina`s family had been given permission by Italy`s health ministry Thursday for a rare visit to say goodbye.

&quot;You`re not Toto Riina to me, you`re just my dad. And I wish you happy birthday dad on this sad but important day, I love you,&quot; one of his sons Salvatore wrote on Facebook.

The ageing gangster had asked in July to be released from prison on the grounds of serious illness -- a request that was denied after a court ruled the care he received behind bars was as good as he would get on the outside.Doctors said at the time that the former boss was &quot;lucid&quot;. He was caught on a wiretap earlier this year saying he &quot;regrets nothing... They`ll never break me, even if they give me 3,000 years&quot; in jail.

The son of a poor farmer, he was born on November 16, 1930, in Corleone, a village near Palermo that would become synonymous with the Mafia through Francis Ford Coppola`s popular Godfather film trilogy.

He lost his father and a brother young when they were blown up trying to extract gunpowder from an unexploded American bomb in 1943. By the time he was 19, he had killed his first victim.

He started off as a foot soldier to boss Luciano Leggio before moving up through the ranks, going on the run in 1969 but continuing to lead first the Corleone clan then the entire Sicilian mob from hiding.

He would elude police efforts to snare him for almost a quarter of a century, without ever leaving Sicily.

Riina was slapped with multiple life sentences in absentia after a fellow mobster turned state witness.

The &quot;Beast&quot; retaliated by ordering the deaths of 11 of the turncoat`s relatives. He was eventually captured in 1993 after a tip-off from a rival.
