‘I want to go to IISc Bangalore… feel like IIT would not be the right fit for me': AIR 5 Ujjwal Kesari
Every few hours, in the middle of his study marathons, 17-year-old Ujjwal Kesari from South Delhi allowed himself a reward — one short episode of Doraemon. 'I love watching animated films. I love watching Doraemon,' he said. 'But since I couldn't get distracted, I used to skip watching it so that I could study and focus on my goal. But when I took short breaks in between, I used to watch it.' That clarity and self-control helped Kesari secure the fifth position in the JEE Advanced 2025 Common Rank List released Monday, placing him among the top 10 in one of India's most competitive entrance exams. His score — 324 marks out of 360 — opens doors to the most coveted courses in the country: Computer Science at both IIT-Bombay and IIT-Delhi, he said. But Kesari has chosen to walk a different path. 'I want to go to IISc Bangalore,' he said. 'I made this decision because I want to go forward and pursue research, and I feel like IIT would not be the right fit for me. It is known for the best packages, but that is not what I am looking for.' Kesari's decision didn't come on a whim. He had made up his mind years ago. 'Since Class 8, I had decided that I would take the science stream in Class 11,' he said. 'My love for physics and maths made me passionate about giving the JEE examination.' What excites him most now is quantum physics, a field he hopes to pursue seriously in the coming years. 'I aim to pursue research in the quantum physics area as I think it is very fascinating and has a promising future,' he said. Kesari's preparation strategy was marked by balance and consistency. 'I always used to give equal time to all my main subjects. Even my weaknesses and strengths,' he said. 'I would not focus on taking too many breaks. I would keep the flow and consistency when I sat down to study.' The youngest of two siblings, Kesari lives with his family. 'My sister is pursuing the arts stream, and I have moved towards sciences,' he said. His father works in a private job, and his mother is a homemaker. For future aspirants, Kesari offered one practical piece of advice, a habit he strictly followed through his years of preparation: 'Stay away from the phone. Screen time is the biggest distraction these days, and it is very important to minimise it.'

Kesari Chapter 2 Worldwide Box Office: Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan starrer closes theatrical run at Rs 142 crore
Kesari Chapter 2, starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday in the lead, has ended its run at the box office. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the movie wrapped its box office journey on a decent note. Kesari Chapter 2 winds up global theatrical run at Rs 142 crore Backed by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions, Kesari Chapter 2 garnered positive reception among the audience, which helped it in recording an encouraging run at the box office. Released on April 18th, the movie is ending its global box office journey at a figure of Rs 142 crore gross. Of this, Rs 108.50 crore (Rs 90.25 crore net) came from the Indian markets while the international territories contributed about USD 3.9 million, which is Rs 33.50 crore gross as per Indian currency. The movie is wrapping its worldwide cume with an average verdict. Though the movie couldn't end the dearth of a Clean Hit movie for Akshay Kumar, it definitely turned out to be a relief, as his last few movies were box office duds. Kesari Chapter 2 remains behind its prequel's business The spiritual sequel to 2019 released Kesari is expected to be the talk of the town during its OTT release. The movie received a favourable response in the urban markets while the masses remained reluctant due to its heavy-on-content approach. When compared to its prequel, the Karan Singh Tyagi directorial remained far behind. For the unversed, Kesari (2019) had collected a solid Rs 151 crore net in India alone while its worldwide gross was Rs 200 crore. Nevertheless, the success of Kesari Chapter 2 brought positivity to the actor, who was going through a rough patch. Akshay Kumar will be next seen in Housefull 5, which is expected to bring big box office numbers and end the superstar's dearth of clean Hit movies. Area-wise box office break-up of Kesari Chapter 2 is as follows: Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates. Disclaimer: The box office figures are compiled from various sources and our research.

Veer Hanuman: Lord Hanuman decides to confront and take down Shani
In the latest gripping episodes of Veer Hanuman, the young divine warrior faces one of his toughest challenges yet. After rescuing Neel, son of Agnidev, from danger in Kishkinda, Hanuman returns to a kingdom plagued by misfortune—Shani Dev's drishti has cast a dark shadow. A sacred granth has been stolen, and in a shocking twist, Hanuman's father Kesari is falsely accused of the theft. With demons attacking Kishkinda and Bali refusing to defend the kingdom, Hanuman takes matters into his own hands. Vowing not to return until he restores his father's honour and recovers the granth, Hanuman's journey takes a surprising turn when he discovers that the sage behind the chaos is none other than Shani Dev in disguise. What follows is a powerful confrontation—one that tests Hanuman's strength, resolve, and his deep-rooted sense of justice. As the battle lines are drawn, the stage is set for a divine clash. Speaking about the emotionally charged storyline, Arav Chowdharry, who plays Kesari, shared, 'In this sequence, Lord Hanuman goes to great lengths to protect Kesari's honour, and the audience will be eager to witness how a son stands up to clear his father's name. It beautifully highlights the deep bond and unconditional love between a father and son. Portraying young Lord Hanuman's father on-screen has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for me, and I feel truly blessed to be part of this journey. ' Featuring Aan Tiwari as the young Lord Hanuman, Arav Chowdharry as Kesari, Sayli Salunkhe as Anjani, and Mahir Pandhi in a dual portrayal of Bali and Sugreev, Veer Hanuman is a captivating watch for all. Veer Hanuman continues to blend mythology with emotion, making it a must-watch tale of courage, love, and divine purpose.
