Ibrahim Ali Khan is all set to make his big Bollywood debut with Khushi Kapoor in the upcoming adult romantic drama — Nadaaniyan.

The fresh onscreen pairing has already garnered a lot of buzz, and the plot revolves around the crazy and magical feeling of falling in love for the first time.

Netflix is all set to immerse audiences once again in the feeling of your first love — as exhilarating as it gets.

It is the story of Piya (Khushi Kapoor), a typical bold and free-spirited girl from South Delhi, and Arjun (Ibrahim Ali Khan), a middle-class boy from Noida.

They are at the two opposite ends of the pole, but once their worlds collide, they are in for a journey they never expected.

A rollercoaster ride filled with mischief and the sweet messiness of first love.

The film will be helmed by debut director Shauna Gautam, who was also the assistant director on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

The producers from Dharmatic Entertainment, who are bankrolling the project, said, "Love has always been at the heart of our storytelling, and with Nadaaniyan, we are celebrating it in its purest, most youthful form. This film introduces a fresh, dynamic pairing with Ibrahim and Khushi, while also marking the exciting debut of Ibrahim."

They further added, "It is a story of connection, chaos, and relationships that perfectly capture the essence of young love. Netflix, with its unparalleled reach, is the ideal platform to bring this vibrant and young romantic drama to audiences around the world. We can't wait for viewers to relive the magic of first love with Nadaaniyan."

Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director of Original Films, Netflix India, shared, "Nadaaniyan captures the innocence and irreverence of young love. From Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment, this film takes audiences on an emotional rollercoaster. Starring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, this heartwarming tale explores the trials and tribulations of first love, brought to life through the fresh vision of debutante director Shauna Gautam. We are thrilled to expand our roster of romantic comedies and offer viewers a glimpse into the world of young adults — one story at a time."

Nadaaniyan will be streaming soon on Netflix.

Deva Box Office Collection Day 1: Shahid Kapoor's Film Off To A Slow Start, Fails to Break Into His Top 10 Openers

Rosshan Andrrews made his directorial debut in Hindi cinema with the high-octane action drama Deva, which hit theatres on January 31. Starring Shahid Kapoor as a cop and Pooja Hegde, the film made approximately Rs 5 crore on its opening day, according to Sacnilk. 

Deva failed to surpass Shahid's previous film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, which opened with Rs. 6.7 crore. The film faced tough competition at the box office, with other major releases like Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, Ram Charan's Game Changer, and Kangana Ranaut's Emergency.

According to Box Office India, Deva was especially dependent on the Maharashtra region for its opening, but it didn't fare as well in cities like Mumbai and Pune, which showed lower-than-expected turnout. Additionally, regions like NCR, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Central India performed poorly for the action-packed thriller, which kept its opening day collection at around Rs 5 crore. As a result, the film didn't break into Shahid's top 10 openers, landing in the 11th spot behind Haider.

However, Deva managed to outperform Sky Force, which grossed only Rs. 2.75 crore on its opening day. The movie's occupancy rate reflected a slow start, with just 5.87% in the morning shows, 9.18% in the afternoon and 9.77% in the evening. 

With music by Vishal Mishra, original background score by Jakes Bejoy, and cinematography by Amit Roy, the film also stars Pooja Hegde, Pavail Gulati, Pravesh Rana, and Kubbra Sait in pivotal roles.

Salman Khan's Rakhi Sister Shweta Rohira Shares Pics After Major Accident: "Fractured Bones, Bruises And..."

Salman Khan's Rakhi sister Shweta Rohira had a major road accident. The actress shared pictures from hospital bed where she's seen lying with multiple bandages, a bruised lip and several fractures. 

She wrote a long note narrating the severe accident, topped with Shah Rukh Khan's song and lines from his films. Shweta shared she didn't give up after such a harrowing incident. She assured her fans and followers that she would come back with a renewed spirit.

Shweta began her note with these words, "Life is full of surprises, isn't it? One moment, you're humming #kalhonaho and planning to tackle your day. 

"The next moment, life decides to say, "Hold my chai," and sends a bike your way. For no fault of mine, I found myself going from walking to flying (not the Bollywood slow-mo kind, sadly) and landing straight into a forced rest mode," she wrote.

Shweta wrote how she's dealing with this "chapter" of her life with courage and resilience. 

"Fractured bones, bruises, and endless hours in bed-this wasn't in my to-do list. But hey, maybe the universe thought I needed a lesson in patience or just wanted me to star in my own mini-soap opera, complete with hospital drama."

"The truth is, sometimes life shakes us to break us, only to rebuild us stronger. After all, destruction paves the way for construction, Shweta mentioned.

Take a look at her full post here:

Shweta Rohira is known as Salman Khan's Rakhi sister. She was earlier married to actor Pulkit Samrat. 

Shweta and Pulkit got married in 2014. And after a year, they broke up. Pulkit Samrat married actress Kriti Kharbanda last year in an intimate ceremony.

Maha Kumbh 2025: Director Kabir Khan Takes Holy Dip. The Internet Explodes

Director Kabir Khan is the latest celebrity to join the bandwagon who have visited Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh 2025. The Chak De! India director visited the holy site on Tuesday. In his interaction with news agency ANI, Kabir Khan said he was very "excited" to be a part of this grand gathering. He also shared he would take a holy bath. 

When asked about observing a ritual being a Muslim, Kabir Khan hailed the spirit of Indian democracy and said, "There is no Hindu or Muslim in this, if you believe you are an Indian, then you should feel everything."

Kabir Khan told ANI, "I am very excited. This happens once in 12 years. I feel fortunate to have come here. I will take a holy dip here too. These things are not about Hindus and Muslims, these are the things of our origin, our country and our civilization."

Take a look:

Kabir Khan's words drew diverse reactions on X. While some praised his inclusive worldview, others brought upon his films like Chak De! India, where Shah Rukh Khan played a Muslim coach.

A X user wrote, "This is only about Hindus, Kabir is only doing this for his film productions."

Another comment read, "All flop actors, director are lining up to take a dip in Mahakumbh. When nothing else works then it's all Bhagwan bharose!"

Another user wrote, " Al-Taqiyya from Kabir Khan after changing religion of main character in Chak De for glorification. Btw.... Mahakumbh doesn't fall every 12 yrs. It's after 144 yrs. Script thik se likha nahi."

Another comment read, "Kabir Khan being an #Ahmadi Muslim doesn't hold any standing in Islamist Community worldwide including India anyway. He knows that India is the Only Country in the World where he can be called Ahmadi & Muslim in one breath. Cheers to him anyway."

Another comment read, "He has come to attend #Mahakumbh , obviously to fool Hindus and to come in their good books , so that they come to watch his movies."

Kabir Khan is known for directing films like Kabul Express, New York, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Phantom, Tubelight, Chandu Champion.

Several celebrities, including comedian-actor Sunil Grover, Guru Randhawa, Avinash Tiwary, Mamta Kulkarni, and Anupam Kher, have also participated in this grand spiritual gathering before Kabir Khan.

Kangana Ranaut's latest film Emergency arrived in the theatres on January 17. After a decent opening, the political drama dipped in the box office collections from Day 2.

On its second Monday (January 27), Emergency garnered Rs 20 lakhs at the ticket window, reported Sacnilk. With this, the total collection of the movie now stands at Rs 16.90 crore. Emergency had an overall occupancy rate of 7.21 percent in the Hindi market on Day 11, added the report.

Emergency recorded Kangana Ranaut's highest box-office opening in the last five years. The movie earned ₹2.35 crore on its first day, surpassing the opening figures of her recent solo projects.

In 2023, Kangana's aerial action film Tejas earned ₹1.25 crore on its opening day, while her 2022 action thriller Dhaakad made ₹1.20 crore.

The 2021 biographical drama Thalaivii, based on the life of Tamil Nadu's former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, earned ₹1.46 crore across all languages.

Before Emergency, Kangana's 2020 sports drama Panga had the biggest opening of her career, collecting ₹2.70 crore on its release day.

Emergency is directed and co-produced by Kangana Ranaut. The actress plays the role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the movie. Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry, Ashok Chhabra, Vishak Nair and late actor Satish Kaushik are also seen in pivotal roles.  

Speaking about Emergency, Kangana Ranaut revealed that it was “not a political film”, but a story. She said in an interview, "It has nothing to do with politics. You may find it very bizarre right now. Eventually, it is not about any party. You will come out feeling that, you just saw the film, you won't come out feeling who you will vote for. You were only enlightened about that episode.”

Set during India's Emergency period from 1975 to 1977, Emergency explores an era marked by the suspension of civil liberties and stringent restrictions on the press.

Fatima Sana Shaikh On Her Casting Couch Experience In South Films: "You Will Do Everything, Right?"

Fatima Sana Shaikh, who made her debut with Aamir Khan's Dangal, recently opened up about her casting couch experience in a Southern film. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Fatima recalled a casting agent's call and how his repeated "provocative" words made her feel uncomfortable.

The Ludo actor told Bollywood Bubble, "He asked me, 'You will be ready to do everything, right?' I told him that I will be working hard and will do what is required for the role, but he kept saying that, and I played dumb because I wanted to see how low can he get."

During the same interview Fatima Sana Shaikh also recounted an unsettling experience in Hyderabad where she hoped to secure a role in a South film. Fatima shared that she thought the film would be a stepping stone for her before entering the Hindi film industry.

Recalling the experience of meeting a producer in Hyderabad, Fatima told the portal, "The producers would talk about it very openly, 'You know, here you have to meet people'. 

"They wouldn't say things outright but would imply them in strange ways. Of course, they'd say it indirectly but make their intentions clear. They'd say things like, 'You have to meet people', or 'You have to do this and that'."

Fatima Sana Shaikh also revealed how casting directors exploited newcomers in Mumbai by demanding a "cut" from their earnings on the pretext of "references."

Fatima Sana Shaikh was seen as a child artiste in Kamal Haasan's Chachi 420. Later, she worked in films like Thugs of Hindostan, Ludo, Ajeeb Daastaans, Thar, Sam Bahadur.

Fatima will next be seen in Anurag Basu's multi-starrer Metro... In Dino.

The Delhi Files Teaser: Mithun Chakraborty Recites Constitution's Preamble With A Burnt Tongue

The teaser of The Delhi Files is out. The nearly two-minute clip features Mithun Chakraborty in a gripping and intense avatar.

In the clip, Mithun, sporting a rugged look and a white beard, is seen reciting the preamble to the Constitution of India with a burnt tongue in a desolate corridor. Appearing weary, he limps as he speaks, and the video concludes with his character leaning against a wall as he finishes reciting the words.

"The Delhi Files is a deeply emotional film that brings a significant chapter of Indian history to life on a grand scale. It explores the poignant Bengal tragedy, uncovering a lesser-known part of India's past. With its impactful storytelling, breathtaking visuals, and stellar performances, the film promises to deliver a thought-provoking and unforgettable cinematic journey," the official synopsis of the film read.

Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, The Delhi Files focuses on the Bengal tragedy, a lesser-known chapter of Indian history.

The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter is produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi, with Tej Narayan Agarwal and I Am Buddha Productions presenting the film. It is slated for a worldwide release on August 15, 2025.

Earlier, Vivek Agnihotri shared nostalgic pictures with veteran actor Anupam Kher. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter), the director posted a video featuring throwback pictures of himself with his wife, producer Pallavi Joshi, and Anupam Kher. Agnihotri, who has worked with Anupam in films like The Kashmir Files and The Vaccine War, expressed his deep gratitude for the bond they share, calling himself "blessed" to have the veteran actor by his side.

Along with the pictures, he wrote, "Kher Saab isn't just an incredible actor but a friend who's more like family. Whether on-screen or off, your warmth and wisdom make every moment unforgettable. @AnupamPKher, truly blessed to have you by my side."

There is growing speculation that Anupam Kher will collaborate once again with Vivek Agnihotri on The Delhi Files.

His last few releases, including Khel Khel Mein, Sarfira, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Raniganj, Selfiee, Ram Setu, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Bachchhan Paandey, all failed to make a mark at the box office.

Akshay's last major release, Singham Again, raked in Rs 372.4 crore globally, but that movie was led by Ajay Devgn and featured an ensemble cast, with Akshay appearing in a cameo. Additionally, he made a guest appearance in Stree 2, which performed well, earning Rs 857.15 crore worldwide.

Since the film's trailer launch, Sky Force has drawn comparisons to Fighter, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. Fighter was also released around Republic Day last year and made Rs 22.5 crore on its opening day. Fighter, with a production budget of Rs 250 crore, went on to become a success, grossing Rs 358.83 crore worldwide. 

Sky Force is based on the untold story of India's first and deadliest airstrike, showcasing the events of the 1965 India-Pakistan War.

Veer Pahariya makes his acting debut as IAF officer T Vijaya, who goes missing in action during the war, while Akshay Kumar plays his fellow officer, KO Ahuja, who embarks on a mission to find him. 

The film also features Nimrat Kaur and Sara Ali Khan in important roles. Sky Force is directed by Sandeep Kelwani and Abhishek Kapur.
