Jr NTR fans called ‘clowns' for lighting flamethrower inside theatre during War 2 screening
Jr NTR fans light up flamethrower inside theatre
A paparazzo account posted a video of Jr NTR fans lighting up a flamethrower inside a theatre on Instagram, writing, 'War 2 NTR entry (fire emoji). Fans bring out flame thrower in theatres.' The video shows Jr NTR making his entry and fans cheering and throwing confetti to celebrate it. While some fans held up custom-made posters while cheering near the screen, one fan went overboard and lit up a flamethrower, not paying heed that it's a fire hazard. The other audience members, too, looked busy recording while this went down.
While some comments under the post had people commenting with fire emojis, others were convinced it was all just 'PR' for the film. Some, however, slammed the fans for behaving this way, with one fan commenting, 'Jab tak is desh mein saneema hai (As long as cinema exists in this country),' with the implication being that fools will also exist. One called the fans 'clowns', writing, 'Why are southies act like clowns.' Another questioned, 'Ye wahi haina jo Saiyaara public ko chapri bol rhe the na (Weren't the audience of Saiyaara criticised for behaving like this).'
Since War 2's release, numerous pictures and videos have shown Jr NTR's fans bursting crackers, throwing confetti, performing pooja and cheering. However, one fan cut their thumb and applied a tilak on a picture of Jr NTR and was also criticised for going overboard.

Ralph Ineson believes women directors make better film sets: Here's why

Coolie Day 3 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth crime-drama looks to do an excellent Rs 48 crore gross on 1st Saturday BUT...
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth had yet another excellent day at the India box office, grossing Rs 47-48 crore. These are excellent numbers but the trend is slightly worrisome. The movie opened to collections of Rs 75.50 crore, added Rs 63.50 crore on day 2 (Independence Day holiday) and is likely putting up Rs 47.50 crore on day 3, taking the 3 day cume to Rs 186.50 crore. Going by how it is doing, the Sunday collections are going to drop down to around Rs 40 crore, giving the movie a weekend of a little over Rs 225 crore. The Day Wise India Gross Collections Of Coolie Are As Under Day India Gross Collections 1 Rs 75.50 crore 2 Rs 63.50 crore 3 Rs 47.50 crore Total Rs 186.50 crore Coolie's Rs 47.50 Crore Day 3 Is Excellent But Given How It Started, The Numbers Should Have Been Closer To Rs 60 Crore If the Saturday numbers of Coolie are seen, not taking into consideration the fact that it opened to the numbers it did, they are excellent and not many Tamil movies have really been able to manage it. The collections for the Tamil version of Coolie are on a steep fall. It is the Hindi and Telugu version collections that are sustaining to a degree. After Sunday, it is likely that the drops will be significant even for the Hindi and Telugu version. Regardless, the movie has already punched above its weight for these two versions. The underperformance in the home market will end up being the most talked thing about this Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial. If the trend is to be analysed, it will end up doing lower than what Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly did in Tamil Nadu. Coolie Heads For A Rs 500 Crore Range Worldwide Finish Unless Something Surprising Happens Coolie heads for a near Rs 500 crore global finish, but even that is subject to how it holds. The global weekend of Coolie will be around Rs 375 crore and for it to add less than Rs 125 crore after that will not be seen well. All things said, Coolie will still be among the top 5 highest Kollywood grosser worldwide and that just proves how big Rajinikanth continues to be. He will have 3 films in the top 5 list and what's important to note is that it is with 3 different directors. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Ennallo Vechina Hrudayam: A tale of love, courage, and transformation
Ennallo Vechina Hrudayam is a heartfelt drama that captivates viewers with its tale of love, trauma, and redemption. With its blend of romance, family conflicts, and emotional recovery, the show centres around two distinct individuals on a quest for love and hope. The show revolves around Tripura Sundari, a tolerant, kind, and nurturing teacher who goes to great lengths to protect her younger sister and Bala Krishna, a former businessman who suffered brain damage after a car accident. When Bala's family brings him to Ramapuram to cure his mental illness, he encounters the kind school teacher. As Bala finds himself drawn to Tripura, Bala's family begins to identify that she has a positive impact on him. Their journey together forms the crux of the story. The stellar cast includes Tanviya, who delivers a compelling performance as Tripura Sundari and Chandu Gowda as Bala Krishna, who perfectly portrays Bala's vulnerability and resilience. The supporting cast includes Mumtaj, Lakshman, Uma, Kaushal, Prasad, Karate Kalyani, Viswa, and others, adding emotional depth to the drama. Latest episodes have intensified the drama with Vasuki and Urvashi's failed plot against Tripura, which backfires due to Bala's intervention and Tripura's bravery against Phanindra's goons. Bala was attacked, while a classmate plans to frame him, keeping viewers on edge. Ennallo Vechina Hrudayam continues to unravel the journey of Tripura and Bala; the show's compelling narrative and stellar performances make it one of the most loved Telugu television shows.
