Streaming giant Netflix has made a mostly cash offer to buy TV and film group Warner Bros Discovery as the storied yet debt-laden Hollywood studio presses on with a sale that could remake the US media landscape, a report said Monday. According to Bloomberg, Netflix joined Paramount Skydance and Comcast, the owner of NBCUniversal, in a second round of an auction that was being negotiated throughout the US Thanksgiving holiday. The parent company of HBO, CNN and the Warner Bros film studio officially put itself up for sale in October after receiving multiple unsolicited offers, setting aside a planned split into two separate entities - one focused on streaming and studios, the other on traditional cable networks. Warner Bros Discovery was originally targeted by Paramount -- recently acquired by the billionaire tech family of Oracle founder Larry Ellison, one of the world's richest men. His son David Ellison, a movie producer, is the Paramount CEO and had made three consecutive offers for the entertainment group before Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav launched the official sale process. Netflix, the world's largest streaming service with over 280 million subscribers globally, is working on a bridge loan totaling tens of billions of dollars to finance its potential acquisition, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. The deal would bulk up Netflix's already considerable content production capabilities and secure premium assets like HBO and Warner Bros studios. It would also likely face close scrutiny by antitrust authorities in the United States and potentially in other major markets. Top Hollywood players have voiced their preference to see Warner Bros not end up in the hands of Netflix, citing concerns that the streaming company largely seeks to limit theatrical releases of its film productions. "Titanic" director James Cameron told podcast "The Town" recently that a takeover of Warner Bros by Netflix would be "a disaster." Requests for comment to Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery were not answered at time of publication.

Released in theatres on August 1, the story revolves around Neelesh, a young man, who has faced caste-based discrimination, and Vidhi, a sweet girl from a privileged background.

Written by Rahul Badwelkar, Shazia Iqbal, <i>Dhadak 2</i> brilliantly highlights the two different worlds that exist in the same class in law school. Vidhi is privileged, comes from a family of lawyers who flaunt their status in society, yet are the most insecure about family honour. Violence is an easy option to shut down those who rebel against them. Meanwhile, impoverished and marginalised, Neelesh’s family understands the power that education holds and when to fight back and when not to choose violence. They are oppressed, often misunderstood and harassed by the upper class and caste- yet they choose peace and education, partly because they know the law does not support them and partly because they follow Ambedkar’s ideology.'' <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/dhadak-2-review-siddhant-chaturvedi-triptii-dimri-s-film-jolts-you-from-all-kinds-of-delusion-1754017846574">Read the full review here.</a></p>

<h2>Son of Sardaar 2: Story, cast, review and more</h2><p>If you want to make your weekend hilarious and full of laughs, don’t miss Ajay Devgn’s sequel to his 2013 hit of the same name. With a quirky, silly and chaotic plot, the movie revolves around Devgn's character of Jassi Randhawa and the Sandhu family; however, these Sandhus are different. Like the first part, Jassi is an innocent Punjabi man who has been waiting for several years to visit his wife, Dimple (Neeru Bajwa), in Scotland. After a long wait, he finally visits his wife, only to find out that she wants to get a divorce. In the foreign lands, he meets a Pakistani girl, Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), who performs at weddings with her group, which includes Gul (Deepak Dobriyal), Saba (Roshni Walia), and Mehwish (Kubbra Sait). To set up Saba with his lover, who is an Indian, they end up with a chaotic plan.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/inside-orry-s-unique-collection-lobster-bag-banana-phone-case-and-dragon-fly-suit-1758712693192">Orry's unique collection!

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>The movie also stars Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Vindu Dara Singh and the late actor Mukul Dev.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Calling Ajay Devgn's film surprisingly funny, Pragati Awasthi wrote,''In my view, trying to find logic in comedy movies is the most illogical thing to do. As always, there are two types of moviegoers: those who watch these films by leaving their brains at home, fully aware of what they’re watching and just enjoying their time, and others who look for logic in every scene. If you belong to the first category, then you will enjoy this movie. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film entertains with senseless moments, but most humorously and playfully, without going overboard.'' <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/son-of-sardaar-2-review-ajay-devgn-s-film-is-silly-chaotic-and-surprisingly-funny-1754028486803">Read the full review here.&nbsp;</a></p>

Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 are two major releases this weekend. Moviegoers who missed both films in theaters can now watch them on streaming platforms. Check the details here:

All the fans who missed Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 in theatres can now watch both movies at their own comfort on OTT. This weekend, one is a love story and the other a comedy riot, so whichever film you missed and wanted to catch up on, you finally can. Both Dhadak 2 and Son of Sardaar 2 are set to release on Netflix from September 26, giving audiences an exciting option to choose this weekend. The streaming giant took to Instagram to announce the OTT releases of these two films. Dhadak 2: Story, cast, review and more Starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, the film is a spiritual sequel to the 2018 movie of the same title. Released in theatres on August 1, the story revolves around Neelesh, a young man, who has faced caste-based discrimination, and Vidhi, a sweet girl from a privileged background. How the two fight against challenges and societal boundaries forms the crux of the story. The movie is directed by Shazia Iqbali. Also read: A mystery unfolds in China as unexplained changes in horror flick 'Together' spark confusion among viewers Shomini Sen wrote that Dhadak 2 paints a more realistic and relatable picture. ‘’The film, an official Hindi remake of the 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, jolts you into understanding how deeply rooted and pervasive caste based discrimination is in society. Written by Rahul Badwelkar, Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 brilliantly highlights the two different worlds that exist in the same class in law school. Vidhi is privileged, comes from a family of lawyers who flaunt their status in society, yet are the most insecure about family honour. Violence is an easy option to shut down those who rebel against them. Meanwhile, impoverished and marginalised, Neelesh’s family understands the power that education holds and when to fight back and when not to choose violence. They are oppressed, often misunderstood and harassed by the upper class and caste- yet they choose peace and education, partly because they know the law does not support them and partly because they follow Ambedkar’s ideology.''

Netflix's The Kapil Sharma Show slapped with lawsuit by Firoz Nadiadwala for Hera Pheri; Here's why

<p>It's Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds of Bollywood show, and all of Bollywood is in it. Stepping out of his grand Mannat (professionally), Aryan, the son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, and one of the ambassadors of the word nepotism (if we say so), whose entire life has been spent in the spotlight, in both good and bad ways, has commendably put out a side of the world that the majority of the population is truly unaware of. While we don't claim that this series is the most accurate or truthful representation of the showbiz world, whatever Aryan has depicted is equally enjoyable, funny, and frustrating at times.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just like the name suggests, the show portrays the behind-the-scenes sides of Bollywood, revealing the foul-mouthed side, their debt issues, insecurities, and common man concerns, all on a grand scale. The seven-part series is a parody of the world that most of the population is obsessed with. However, while Aryan's sarcastic commentary on his very own world is entertaining, he has also managed to gain pan-India attention. How? With SS Rajamouli's cameo. Power of being a star kid, we must say.</p><h2>What is &nbsp;Ba***ds of Bollywood about?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The series revolves around a young actor, Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya), a newcomer, an outsider, who finds success after his debut film Revolver becomes a superhit, making him one of the most talked-about stars in the industry. Lakshya is not alone; he has his small team - best friend Parvaiz (Raghav Juyal), his loyal manager Sanya (Anya Singh), and his uncle Avtar (Manoj Pahwa), who is still struggling.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/the-ba-ds-of-bollywood-x-review-netizens-call-it-aryan-khan-s-superb-debut-1758206409863">The Ba***ds Of Bollywood X review: Netizens call it Aryan Khan's SUPERB debut</a></p>

Still from Ba***ds of Bollywood

<p>Aasmaan is new to the world of glitz and is unaware of the nits and cracks of an industry that runs on contracts. Soon after his first project, he signed a huge three-film contract with producer Freddy Sodawallah (Manish Chaudhari). Shortly after, he gets another big offer from Karan Johar, who is playing himself, and casts him opposite fresh face Karishma (Sahher Bambba), the daughter of superstar Ajay Talvar (Bobby Deol). While Lakshya seems to be getting everything right, he soon finds himself stuck between two contracts. He has been an unknowing target. Why? Because Ajay apparently doesn't want his daughter to be launched with another fresh face. However, the real reason has been revealed in the last episode of the show. He soon gets stuck between the top game players of the industry. Unaware of what's really happening, how he and his team struggle with a contract war that leads him to his love story with Karishma, a high-speed car sequence and a very dramatic ending, make this a no-brainer show.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/nishaanchi-movie-review-anurag-kashyap-goes-back-to-gangs-of-wasseypur-template-monika-panwar-shines-1758269912812"><strong>Nishaanchi movie review: Anurag Kashyap goes back to Gangs Of Wasseypur template, Monika Panwar shines</strong></a></p><h2>The performances, stars and all things fun</h2><p>Aryan Khan, Bilal Siddiqi, and Manav Chauhan present the world of drama that is purely fun and effortless, and packed with juvenile and cheeky punches, silly antics, witty dialogues, and plenty of real-life references that keep you hooked throughout. Add to the parade of cameos, which might feel unnecessary, then again, what’s showbiz without the stars in it, including the Three Khans, right?</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of the standout moments is KJo hilariously calling himself the “movie mafia.” Another gem is a '90s-style producer, saying “No to drugs” (iykyk). And, of course, the most buzzworthy sequence is the police raid on a Bollywood party. &nbsp;The actor chosen for the role is clearly a sly dig at the very officer who arrested Aryan back in 2021 in the drug case.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/jolly-llb-3-movie-review-arshad-warsi-akshay-kumar-s-courtroom-dramedy-effectively-takes-the-franchise-forward-1758258223025"><strong>Jolly LLB 3 review: Arshad, Akshay’s courtroom dramedy is a worthy sequel</strong></a></p>

<p>In this show, Aryan has done a superb job when it comes to how smartly he presented the greyer shades of the industry through biting sarcasm on stardom, politics, media, and the eternal struggles of showbiz. The series comes through someone who has lived and breathed this world. &nbsp;That said, the accurate screenplay and the barrage of cameos do tend to overshadow the script, which stumbles at several points.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When it comes to performances, it was Raghav Juyal who gave a standout performance. He was the real fun, and most of the credit goes to him. The scene where he sings for Emraan Hashmi, who appears as an intimacy instructor, will have you in splits. His comic timing is impeccable, and his performance feels so real and effortless that it never feels that he's performing a character - it’s just Raghav being Raghav - authentic, natural, and hilarious.</p>

<p>The Kill duo, Raghav and Lakshya, are in a single team. The duo's chemistry is outstanding and eclectic. &nbsp;Still, the sheer energy, performances, and entertainment factor make you overlook its flaws. Bobby Deol, now riding high in his 2.0 career phase, adds further punch with his strong stardom presence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The climax, however, doesn’t quite land well. What may have looked thrilling on paper ends up less surprising on screen, missing that wow factor. Among all, the final episode feels like the weakest and struggles to hold your attention.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the last, Aryan Khan's show is all things fun, with a script that explores the human side of the stars, the thrills, chills and truly Indian drama that comes with emotions too. Watch the show for the fun.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Ba***ds of Bollywood is streaming on Netflix</p>
