Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train | RE-RELEASE TRAILER
Mugen Train is still breaking records
Mugen Train first came out in Japan in October 2020 and quickly became a global hit. It is the highest-grossing Japanese movie ever, making over 40 billion yen in Japan alone. It also earned more than $500 million worldwide, making it the top anime film at the global box office.
The movie focuses mainly on 2 characters – Tanjiro and
Rengoku
as they fight a powerful demon on board a mysterious train. The movie is famous for its emotional story, beautiful animation, and intense battles.
This re-release is not just a fun throwback. It's also part of the build-up to something bigger. The upcoming Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie is on the way, and it will be the first in the trilogy. It will release in Japan on July 18, 2025, and will come to international theatres between August 14 and September 25.
Mugen Train changed how anime movies are seen. Before its release, most anime films were not connected to the main story. But Mugen Train was different—it was canon, meaning it was a direct part of the main plot. Since then, more anime franchises have followed this path.

Director Aditya Chopra nominated for UK Stage Debut Award for ‘DDLJ' musical
Agency: PTI Last Updated: London, Aug 21 (PTI) Bollywood filmmaker Aditya Chopra was on Thursday named among the nominees of the UK Stage Debut Awards for his 'Come Fall in Love – The DDLJ Musical,' which had a successful run at Manchester's Opera House earlier this year. 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', popular as 'DDLJ' with Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan in the lead of the 1995 film, was transformed into a theatrical production and had its UK premiere in May. Chopra reprised his role as director of the English language stage production, which revolves around the love story of Simran and Roger. 'This year's nominees truly embody the future of British theatre, and I can't wait to celebrate their achievements," said Alistair Smith, editor of 'The Stage' theatrical publication. 'Judging the Stage Debut Awards was as thrilling as it was challenging. The sheer breadth and brilliance of emerging talent across the UK made narrowing down our longlist of more than 200 eligible theatre-makers no easy task," he said. The annual Stage Debut Awards, now in their 8th year, highlight breakthrough actors, writers, directors, designers, composers or lyricists to help cement their position in the industry. A selection of expert advisers including casting directors, producers, designers and other creatives from across the UK help the judges curate the shortlist for the awards, which are being held in association with streaming giant Netflix. The 46 nominations originate from UK shows staged across all parts of the United Kingdom to shine a spotlight on individuals making their professional or West End debuts in acting, directing, design, writing and musical composition. 'This year there are several individuals with South Asian heritage being recognised for their excellence in directing: among the nominees is Amit Sharma for Ryan Calais Cameron's 'Retrograde' (in the Best Creative West End Debut category)," said the awards panel in a statement. Also nominated are Adam Karim for 'Guards at the Taj' at the Orange Tree Theatre, London, and visionary Indian filmmaker Aditya Chopra for 'Come Fall In Love' at Manchester's Opera House, who are both in the running for the Best Director category, the statement added. The winners of the 2025 awards will be announced at a glittering ceremony in London on September 28, with the Best West End Debut Performer as the only category to be chosen by a public vote. 'Come Fall in Love – The DDLJ Musical', which completed its UK debut run in Manchester in June, was a nod to the original as it followed Simran as a young British Indian woman who finds herself engaged to a family friend in India in an arranged marriage. However, the plot thickens when she falls in love with a British man named Roger. UK-based actors Jena Pandya and Ashley Day played Simran and Roger in the production, featuring an original score complete with 18 English songs and music by Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani. The creative team also included choreographer Rob Ashford, of Disney's 'Frozen' fame, with co-choreography by Shruti Merchant.

Nakayama-san and his wife Sachiko-san run the restaurant that instantly transports you to India with its Bengali and South Indian thalis, meals served on banana leaves and earthenware pots and décor including Indian musical instruments and more. However, what truly seals this India-Japan deal is Sachiko-san's attire, which includes a saree. Sonam Midha, a travel blogger recently posted a video about the Indian Spice Factory that has made the place reach every person's feed. "The love they had for India and Indian culture was unmatched. The whole experience was so touching and my heart was filled with love🌻🥹It was truly an honour to meet sachiko san and Nakayama san!🙇♀️🙇♀️," wrote Midha in the caption of the video.

Then the camera turned to Koji Nakayama who introduced his name and described himself as a Japanese chef. "So meet the Nakayamas in Japan, a Japanese couple jinko Kolkata itna pasand hai ki who banana leaf per khana serve karte hain. Bahar India ka flag hai aur andar radha-krishna ki murti.

"We are very happy that this article has become so popular before I knew it. We are really grateful to have met @sonammidhax " "Bangali here. Am flattered. Your respect for my culture food is overwhelming. Thank you," added a Bengali person in the comments.

The series is set to hit screens all over the world on December 18, and according to the pictures shared by Netflix, Emily is going to Venice at some point. The last season saw Emily, played by Lily Collins, distance herself from Gabriel after Genevieve made her believe that he did not wish to see her. Emily, who couldn't understand Gabriel because he was talking in French, couldn't exactly ask him because that's how the entire altercation started, with Gabriel complaining about not being able to express himself properly in English. Emily leaves and finds another romantic interest in the form of Marcello, while her friend Mindy goes through the experience of performing for a cabaret and having her passion for singing belittled by her boyfriend.

Netflix's official announcement of Emily in Paris Season 5 read, 'Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city. But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks. Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships. Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.' A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Created and written by Darren Star, the cast of the show includes Lily Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie, Lucien Laviscount, Eugenio Franceschini, Thalia Besson, Paul Forman, Arnaud Binard, Minnie Driver, Bryan Greenberg, and Michèle Laroque.
