In a first, Netflix dives into generative AI with new sci-fi series debut
In a first for the streaming platform, Netflix has used artificial intelligence (AI) to create parts of a television show, with company executives saying the move will help make production more affordable and efficient without replacing human creativity, The Guardian reported. The show in question is El Eternauta, a new Argentine sci-fi series, and it marks Netflix's official entry into AI-powered storytelling. Netflix's co-CEO Ted Sarandos announced the development while discussing the company's second-quarter financial results. He said that El Eternauta, which tells the story of a group of survivors navigating a deadly, toxic snowfall, used generative AI tools to create complex visual effects, such as a building collapse in Buenos Aires. 'Using AI-powered tools, they were able to achieve an amazing result with remarkable speed,' Sarandos said, as quoted by the report. 'That VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster than it could have been completed with traditional VFX tools and workflows.' AI to support, not replace, creative workers The use of generative AI in films and TV shows has raised concerns about job losses, especially among professionals in the visual effects and post-production industries. These concerns were central to the Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes in 2023, where workers demanded safeguards against AI replacing their roles, The Guardian reported. However, Sarandos stressed that AI was being used to support — not replace — real people working on these projects. 'This is real people doing real work with better tools,' he said. 'Our creators are already seeing the benefits in production through pre-visualisation and shot planning work, and certainly visual effects. I think these tools are helping creators expand the possibilities of storytelling on screen, and that is endlessly exciting.' Strong quarter for Netflix Netflix reported $11 billion in revenue for the quarter ending June, a 16 per cent rise compared to the same period last year. Much of the growth was credited to the popularity of the final season of the Korean thriller Squid Game. The company also noted that its advertising business, though still small, is growing quickly and is expected to double in size by the end of the year, the news report said. YouTube vs Netflix: Streaming giants battle for your TV screen Netflix once claimed its biggest rivals were not streaming platforms, but sleep and socialising. That narrative has now changed. YouTube has emerged as Netflix's strongest competitor, with both companies locked in a high-stakes battle for viewers' time on television sets, The New York Times reported. Together, YouTube and Netflix made up 20 per cent of all US TV viewing in May, according to Nielsen — YouTube led with 12.5 per cent, followed by Netflix at 7.5 per cent. Unlike traditional competitors, YouTube's lead has widened significantly in recent years, thanks to its vast, diverse content, the news report said. Both firms are now entering each other's territory. Netflix is courting YouTube creators like Ms. Rachel and the Sidemen, while YouTube continues to dominate in short-form, user-driven content. Each is becoming more vocal about the other, signalling an intensifying rivalry. As YouTube shifts from platform to studio and Netflix leans into creator-driven content, the battle for dominance on the biggest screen in the house is just heating up.

Anupamaa EXCLUSIVE: Adrija Roy reacts to male actors being paid more than female leads, 'It's not always easy...'
Anupamaa, the Rupali Ganguly-led daily soap, continues to rank in the top 3 shows due to its engaging storyline. It also features Adrija Roy and Shivam Khajuria in lead roles. Despite the show's engaging storyline, this week Anupamaa failed to rank first due to its poor ratings. In conversation with Pinkvilla, Adrija, who plays Raahi, shared her thoughts on the show's low rank. The actress also voiced her opinion against pay disparity in the industry. Adrija Roy states her opinion on pay disparity In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Adrija Roy was asked about her thoughts on male actors getting paid more than the female protagonists. Sharing her unfiltered opinion on this, Adrija said, "It's disheartening that in 2025, we still need to talk about this. I do feel women work equally hard, sometimes even more, considering how emotionally intense many of our roles are." The Anupamaa actor explained how it's not easy to get equal rights in the industry, but emphasized the importance of being vocal about the rights. She said, "It's not always easy, but I think it's important we speak up and push for what we deserve." Adrija portrays the role of Anupamaa's (Rupali Ganguly) daughter. The actress stars opposite Shivam Khajuria, who plays Prem. The actress is lauded for her intense and powerful performance in the show. Her on-screen chemistry with Shivam has garnered a massive fan following. About Adrija Roy's career before Anupamaa Not many know but Adrija Roy has acted in several Bengali TV shows before she stepped into the world of Hindi Television. Adrija's Hindi debut show was Durga Aur Charu, where she played the lead role. However, it was her stint in Imlie that made her a household name. She was applauded for her acting prowess and gained fame too. After Imlie's conclusion, Adrija was roped in to play the female lead in Kundali Bhagya. After this, the actress secured the role of Raahi in Anupamaa. Initially, Alisha Parveen played the role of Raahi in Anupamaa. However, after her departure, Adrija was roped in. Speaking about Anupamaa, the show premiered in 2020 and often ranks in top 5.

Saiyaara Review: No One Does Heartbreak Like Mohit Suri
Music is a time capsule, it takes you to your childhood, your first love, or reminds of how that petrichor feels when you breathe it in. Music can cure, and if not fully, it acts as an analgesic. Mohit Suri's emotional and musical drama Saiyaara may just be the panacea for the Hindi film and exhibition industries' problems. Saiyaara As A Musical Saiyaara is also a plea for film music that we must not let it die. It serves as a reminder to the viewers that "dimaag bhool sakta hai, dil nahin", a line spoken by one of the leads at a key juncture in the movie. A good song that will stand the test of time is the reflection of a moment, a memory. Saiyaara's beats may be familiar, but there's a certain freshness to its treatment. Its soundtrack, consisting of songs such as Saiyaara, Barbaad, and Tum Ho Toh, is both hummable as well as head-bangy. If it takes almost the whole of the music industry (there are seven composers and four lyricists in credits) to build a complete and contemporary music album, it should be made a norm. In a nutshell, first-timers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are (surprisingly) good. There is promise and a fire in the belly to prove their mettle -- that they deserve to be on a big screen, in a traditional Hindi musical, backed by one of the premiere banners in India, Yash Raj Films. The Plot The story is as old as time. Bad boy meets good girl, sparks fly, and then, there's heartbreak, sacrifice, and reunion. And, no one does heartbreak like Mohit Suri. This heartbreak is lifted by rock, emo and grunge music, and this is not a complaint. Had it been a film from the Bhatt camp, where Mohit Suri's roots lie both family and career-wise, Saiyaara would have had at least one death or murder. Since it's a Yash Raj Film, there is a silver lining to this darker cloud. Aneet (Big Girls Don't Lie) plays Vaani Batra, a simple, sweet, 22-year-old who makes notes in her "dear diary" lest she should forget. When her fiance leaves her at the altar, her heart is broken, she goes into a blackhole and loses her voice (metaphorically) as she stops writing. A few months down the road, Vaani meets Krish Batra, a brooding, weed-smoking, tattooed struggling singer Krish Kapoor who pummels a reviewer (*shudders*) for taking all the credit of his band Josh and handing in on a platter to a bade-baap-ki-aulaad, his bandmate. In a cheeky hat-tip to the nepo baby bias, Krish says to the reviewer, "Nepo baby haggenge bhi toh bhi bologe kya haga hai." No need for a reminder but Ahaan Panday is the actor Chunky Panday's nephew and actor Ananya Panday's cousin and the family should be proud. After Krish loses his band Josh and hosh, he finds Vaani and together they are music and lyrics (also the name of a Drew Barrymore movie). Since this is a spoiler-free review, there's another, major Drew Barrymore connection of Saiyaara which the viewer must look out for while watching the film. With Mohit Suri's signature grasp on emotions and music, Saiyaara becomes a love song with convincing performances, very reminiscent of the filmmaker's Zeher, Kalyug, and Aashiqui 2 days. A special mention for Geeta Agrawal Sharma, who has played several mother roles in the last few years in Hindi films such as Laapataa Ladies, 12th Fail, and All Indian Rank. The actor plays Vaani's protective almost obsessive mother who has been given a couple of best lines in the film. She's a class act when she drops one-liners like "Mat baha ye keemti aansoo kisi ullu le patthe ke liye" or "Meri beti time pass nahin hai". When Saiyaara 's trailer dropped, a section of social media users were quick to compare the film with Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2. Saiyaara 's dialogue "Kuch pal baaqi hain mere paas" callback has the ring of Aashiqui 2 's "Suno. Kya? Kuch nahin bas yun hee" to it, and there's a strong possibility that it will become viral on social media, especially with the 20-somethings. How Make A Story About New-Age Leads With Issues And Make It Entertaining Both Krish and Vaani have issues, clearly. Krish, who plays a parent to his alcoholic brawling father (Varun Badola), seeks outside validation of his potential fans until he meets Vaani, who accepts him for who he is. This is a new-age hero who vocally asks for help from the heroine when he needs it desperately. During the course of the film, just like the DP on his smartphone, his priorities also shift in life -- from himself to Vaani. When it comes to Vaani, the biggest win is that she has a job and she's bloody good at it. When she finds out that Krish is keeping his career on the back burner for her, she asks him not to and urges him to chase his dreams. Her ex, who is a lecherous opportunist, keeps popping up in the film's second half and literally acts a trigger to everything that could go wrong with Vaani. When Krish's father finally comes of age, the senior Kapoor tells the junior Kapoor to not repeat his mistakes. "Don't destroy yourself in the name of love," he says. If we go by Saiyaara, we can have both the best of both worlds -- love and career -- in spite of everything. It's difficult to believe that Krish and Vaani's happy ending lasts longer than what is called a hit song today. Maybe Krish and Vaani do live happily ever after, despite all very real problems. I'll part on this note before the hangover of Saiyaara is cured by the real world.
