'Son of Sardaar 2' movie review
'Son of Sardaar 2' received 3 stars from The Times of India. The review describes the film as a slapstick comedy with a thin plot, but filled with hilarious moments, especially in the first half, 'The slapstick comedy written by Jagdeep Singh Sidhu and Mohit Jain is a standalone sequel to 2012's Son of Sardaar. The storyline maybe thin, but Jassi juggling the dual act of being a war hero and Rabia's husband doubles the chaos.
India-Pakistan rivalry jokes and one-liners will keep you in splits, along with Tony and Titu trying to expose Jassi. The first half has some entertaining moments; one of them being Raja, Tony, and Titu visiting the family to finalise the wedding, where Jassi recreates the scene from Border and plays all three parts originally portrayed by Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff.'
The review also points out that the second half becomes crowded with too many characters and comic tracks, 'However, as the story progresses, the plot becomes tangled and overstuffed with characters and comic tracks, though it does manages to deliver hilarity regularly. Some of the comedy misses the mark, like Jassi watching Raja's aged Russian stepmom pole dance. Routine song-and-dance sequences further drag on without advancing the plot.
The climax is convoluted, predictable, and over‑dramatised.'

Box Office: Raj B Shetty's Su From So breaks out in Kerala; Gears up for a bigger 2nd week than first in the state
Su From So, directed by JP Thuminad and starring Raj B Shetty is running high on exceptional word of mouth. After opening to collections of roughly Rs 1 crore in the state of Karnataka, the movie is well set for a lifetime total of over Rs 60 crore and possibly even Rs 70 crore, based on how it holds after the release of Coolie and War 2. Su From So Registers 5 Times Higher Collections On Day 6 Than Its Opening Day In Kerala While Su From So is shattering myths in the home state, it is also making its presence felt in Kerala. Released a week after its home state release, in Kerala, The Raj B Shetty movie opened with collections of Rs 8.50 lakh gross on day 1. The word of mouth of the movie on day 1 was ultra-positive, as a result of which the collections of the movie are growing each passing day. The day 6 collections of the movie are over 5 times more than the opening day number, and this shows how well the movie has been received in the state that loves its cinema. The Day Wise Gross Collections Of Su From So In Kerala Are As Under Day Gross Kerala Collections 1 Rs 8.50 lakh 2 Rs 32 lakh 3 Rs 59.50 lakh 4 Rs 40 lakh 5 Rs 45 lakh 6 Rs 45 lakh Total Rs 2.30 crore gross in 6 days Su From So Targets A Rs 6 Crore Plus Gross Lifetime In Kerala, With Week 2 Greater Than Week 1 Su From So is projected to do Rs 6 - 7 crore gross in its lifetime, in Kerala.

The Kannada production house Hombale Films has arguably become India's biggest production house too. Su From So will fall slightly short of the Rs 100 crore gross worldwide club, but it is another breakout film from Sandalwood nonetheless.

Piers Morgan defends Beyoncé's ‘Marilyn Monroe' comment; follows up with justifying tweet amid backlash: 'It was a JOKE'
Piers Morgan is yet again at the center of a social media storm, and this time for his comments on Beyoncé's latest advertisement campaign for a leading denim brand. The broadcaster faced fierce backlash from the Beyhive, Beyoncé's devoted fanbase, after he suggested the singer was "culturally appropriating Marilyn Monroe' concerning her iconic style in the ad. In a new development, Morgan has now claimed that his tweet was a joke. Here's a closer look at the controversy regarding Piers Morgan and the backlash. Morgan Piers' tweet on Beyoncé's advertisement Morgan's initial tweet, posted on August 6, 2025, quickly went viral, attracting a flood of criticism. The post emerged amid a wider online debate comparing Beyoncé's campaign to Sydney Sweeney 's American Eagle advertisement, which drew criticism from some conservative commentators. Morgan's tweet, which garnered over 650,000 views and nearly 2,000 replies, was met with comments ranging from " Marilyn Monroe is not a culture" to accusations of racial animosity. What was the advertisement all about? In the ad, Beyoncé channels a classic Old Hollywood aesthetic, complete with platinum blonde hair, red lipstick, and winged eyeliner, a signature look often associated with Marilyn Monroe. While many saw it as a stylish homage, Morgan's comment framed it as cultural appropriation. However, this accusation was quickly dismissed by fans who argued that Monroe's look is a universally celebrated pop culture aesthetic, not a protected cultural identity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Morgan reacts to the backlash Facing the wave of negative attention, Morgan doubled down in a follow-up tweet, claiming his original post was a joke. "I would say I can't believe anyone took my obvious Beyoncé joke post seriously, but I forgot the woke brigade have no sense of humor," he wrote. This defense, however, did little to quell the outrage, with many social media users calling the "joke" a transparent attempt to deflect from his original, inflammatory statement. This isn't the first time Morgan has clashed with the Beyhive. In October 2024, he was forced to issue an on-air apology to Beyoncé and her husband, JAY-Z, after airing unverified abuse allegations on his show. As Beyoncé's Levi's campaign continues to draw attention and fuel conversations about celebrity influence and cultural expression, Morgan's latest controversy serves as another example of his often confrontational relationship with the music icon's powerful fanbase.
