Behind-the-Scenes Featurette and Upcoming Releases
After a successful run at the global box office, Sinners, the supernatural horror drama led by Michael B. Jordan, has made its much-anticipated digital debut. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the film officially released on Amazon Prime Video and BookMyShow Stream on June 3. However, viewers hoping to stream it as part of a subscription plan will be disappointed, as the film is available only as a premium rental, priced at Rs 499 in India.Originally released in theatres on April 18, Sinners became the eighth highest-grossing film of 2025, earning over $350 million worldwide. Its theatrical success was driven not just by a gripping storyline but also by Jordan's performance in a dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack Moore. The film continues to run in select theatres across India, which raises the question of whether viewers will choose to pay for the online version or opt for the cinema experience.While Sinners arriving on streaming platforms is a major release for horror fans, its availability comes with another downside. The film currently lacks support for regional Indian languages—no dubbed audio or subtitle options are available in Hindi or any other Indian languages. This limitation may make the film less accessible to non-English speaking viewers, especially in a linguistically diverse market like India.Sinners tells the story of twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return to their Mississippi hometown after years in Chicago's criminal underworld. Set after World War I, their dream is to open a juke joint that serves as a cultural haven for their community. However, their plans take a sinister turn on the opening night, as a supernatural threat emerges.The film has received acclaim for its atmospheric horror and intense performances. Jordan's portrayal of the two brothers has been widely praised for capturing distinct personalities. Speaking to People, Jordan explained how each twin was developed differently: 'Smoke, he wore his trauma differently; he kinda closed up a bit. And Stack was a lot lighter. He smiled through his pain, he smiled through his trauma.'Director Coogler shared insights on shaping the twins, revealing he consulted real-life identical twins Noah and Logan Miller for authenticity. He noted, 'They were able to work with Michael to get into the psychology of who Smoke and Stack are... Since I've known these guys, they've shared one cell phone. You'd call and not know who'd pick up, but you always knew the other one was right there.'Jordan, reflecting on the creative process, said, 'What we kind of understood about identical twins is that one is more dominant in certain areas than the other. So discovering those little details was really fun and quite insightful from a process point of view.'Along with its digital release, a special featurette titled 'Thicker Than Blood: Becoming the Smokestack Twins' is available, offering a deeper look into the preparation behind Jordan's dual roles. The home release, including 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD editions, is scheduled for July 8.Aside from Jordan, the cast features Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Miles Caton, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Li Jun Li, and Delroy Lindo. The film continues to draw attention globally, but its digital strategy in India has sparked debate about pricing and accessibility.With its current price point and limited language options, the digital release of Sinners in India may not reach as wide an audience as anticipated. Many may choose to wait until the film is either added to subscription-based libraries or re-released with regional language support.

Trump Aide Calls India ‘Laundromat For the Kremlin', Says Tariffs to Hit on Aug 27
Earlier in the day, external affairs minister S. Jaishankar said in Moscow that India is 'perplexed' by Washington's reasoning. New Delhi: Trump aide Peter Navarro on Thursday (August 21) accused India of acting as a 'laundromat for the Kremlin' and 'cozying up to Xi Jinping', warning that new US tariffs on Indian goods would take effect on August 27. 'Just six days from now, you see – I see that [the imposition of secondary tariffs on August 27] taking place. India doesn't appear to want to recognise its role in the bloodshed. It simply doesn't. It's cozying up to Xi Jinping, that's what it's doing,' Navarro, a White House trade adviser, told reporters in Washington on Thursday. Earlier in the day in Moscow, external affairs minister S Jaishankar had expressed puzzlement at the American move. ' We are very perplexed at the logic of the argument,' he said, noting that China, not India, was the largest buyer of Russian oil, while Europe was the biggest importer of Russian LNG. He added that Washington itself had encouraged India to buy Russian crude to stabilise energy markets, and pointed out that Indian imports of US oil had also been rising. Navarro, however, rejected India's reasoning. 'They don't need the oil. It's a refining profiteering scheme. It's a laundromat for the Kremlin. That's the reality of that,' he said. He added that before the Ukraine war, India imported 'virtually no Russian oil … like 1% of their needs,' but that figure had since climbed to '30% or 35%.' 'The argument now … that they somehow need Russian oil to cool their homes or cook or drive their cars, is nonsense,' he said. Navarro alleged that Indian refiners were buying discounted Russian crude, processing it and selling fuel at premium prices overseas. 'It's strictly profiteering – profiteering by the Indian refining industry, Big Oil,' he said. Linking the tariffs to the US economy, Navarro stated: 'When you think about the tariffs we're putting in place – 25% because they cheat us on trade, 25% because of the Russian oil – I ask you this: what is the net impact on Americans?' He described India's barriers as 'higher tariffs, Maharaja tariffs, higher non-tariff barriers', arguing that they contributed to a 'massive' US trade deficit that 'hurts American workers' and 'hurts American businesses'. 'Then they use the money they get from us, when they sell us stuff, to buy Russian oil, which is processed by refiners, and they make a bunch of money there. But then the Russians use the money to build more arms and kill Ukrainians, and so American taxpayers have to provide more aid, military style, to the Ukrainians. That's insane,' Navarro said. He said he wrote his recent Financial Times article 'to deal with the propaganda of the Indian government', which he said was designed to 'make people want to feel sorry for them: 'Oh, they need the oil.' They don't need the oil.' Navarro said President Donald Trump 'sees that chessboard beautifully' and argued that 'in many ways, the road to peace runs through New Delhi'. Despite his criticism, Navarro stressed, 'I love India. Look, Modi's a great leader. But please, please, India – look at what your role here is in the global economy. What you're doing right now is not creating peace, it's perpetuating the war.' This article went live on August twenty-second, two thousand twenty five, at fifty-seven minutes past twelve at night.
