Alia Bhatt is a posh, perfect Flapper Girl with a twist in stunning 2nd look for Cannes Film Festival in Armani Prive
Alia turned up in a bejewelled Armani Prive dress. The off shoulder number had a glittering top and a chainmail texture to it. She paired the look with a gorgeous headwear that cascaded over her right ear. The entire look, while not a complete recreation, was reminiscent of the Flapper Girl era of the 1920 America.
Flapper girl fashion took off between the two wars. It symbolized rebellion, freedom, and a break from tradition. Characterized by dropped waistlines, loose silhouettes, and shorter hemlines, flapper dresses allowed women to move freely, often adorned with fringe, beads, and sequins that shimmered on the dance floor. These bold young women also sported bobbed haircuts, cloche hats, and dark, dramatic makeup—smoky eyes, rouged cheeks, and cupid's bow lips. The flapper look was more than a style statement; it was a cultural shift that embraced independence, jazz, and a modern attitude toward femininity.
At the event, Alia was joined by the likes of Viola Davis, Gillian Anderson, Simone Ashley, Jane Fonda and Elle Fanning. Check out their photos here:

Alia attended the screening of The Mastermind on Friday evening at the Cannes Film Festival. This marked her first appearance at the fest as the official L'Oreal brand ambassador. Before her, even Aishwarya Rai represented the brand at two film screenings.
Alia is married to Ranbir Kapoor and has daughter Raha with him. She was last seen in Jigra. Her next release will be Alpha with YRF and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War. Ranbir and Vicky Kaushal also star with her in the latter.

War 2 box office collection day 8: War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, was one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Ayan Mukerji's YRF spy film, which also stars Kiara Advani in a pivotal role, was released in theatres on 14 August in a clash with Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie. War 2 box office collection day 8: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR film finally crosses ₹ 200cr mark War crosses ₹ 200 crore mark in India War 2 continued its steady albeit subdued run at the box office, adding approximately ₹4.07 crore to its India nett on its eighth day of release, bringing its cumulative total to ₹203.32 crore, according to Sacnilk. War 2 earned ₹52 crore on day 1, with a 10% jump on day 2, which ended at ₹57.35 crore. That is the highest single-day collection for the film so far. However, collections have dipped since the weekdays. Occupancy across cities On Thursday, 21 August, War 2 recorded modest occupancy rates across major Indian cities, with an overall trend of low to average attendance, especially due to the absence of evening and night show data. The film had an overall 8.59% Hindi Occupancy. Chennai led with the highest overall occupancy at 14.5%, followed closely by Jaipur at 14% and Bengaluru at 13%. These cities saw a fairly balanced turnout in both morning and afternoon shows. Hyderabad and Lucknow also showed decent interest with 9.5% and 10.5% occupancy, respectively, largely driven by higher afternoon engagement. Meanwhile, Mumbai, NCR, Pune, and Kolkata hovered around the 8–9% mark, reflecting lukewarm audience response. Cities like Ahmedabad (5.5%), Chandigarh (5.5%), Bhopal (4.5%), and Surat (2.5%) recorded minimal turnout, showing limited traction for the film. Notably, no night or evening show data was available across all regions, which impacted the overall average The regional versions continued to draw more viewers. Tamil version occupancy stood strong at 15.66%, whereas Telugu version occupancy achieved 13.26%. About War 2 Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 expands the YRF Spy Universe, following in the footsteps of Pathaan and the Tiger franchise. Hrithik Roshan reprises his role as Kabir, joined by N. T.

The parallels drawn between the two projects, especially concerning their rockstar protagonists and emotionally charged love stories, have led to speculation that Basu's film is being rescripted to avoid overlapping narratives. Basu, however, has firmly denied these rumours. 'Mohit and I are very close. I'm happy for his film's success.

Basu has strongly refuted this narrative, stating, 'In my film, the girl doesn't have dementia or any [other condition]. We are not rewriting or re-shooting. I knew beforehand that the girl has Alzheimer's [disease] in Saiyaara. So, why would I write the same [plot point] in mine?" Anurag Basu talks about release: Anurag Basu attributes the delay to scheduling conflicts. 'We have shot about 40 per cent of the film. In August and September, we plan to shoot another schedule in which Kartik will have a clean-shaven look," he said, pointing out that Aaryan is currently filming Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, which requires a different appearance.

Aditya Chopra To Save Alia Bhatt's Alpha After War 2's Box Office Debacle, Makes 'Crucial Revisions'?
Aditya Chopra has reportedly changed Alpha's screenplay and execution to save Alia Bhatt's film. After the smashing success of YRF's Saiyaara, all eyes were on Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. While the YRF spyverse film opened to good numbers, it failed to maintain its momentum at the box office and did not manage to impress the audience much. Amid this box office debacle, Alia Bhatt's Alpha, which is YRF's next spy film, has come under scrutiny. Reports now suggest that Aditya Chopra himself has stepped in to save the film. As a report by senior journalist Subhash K Jha, after the disaster of Ayan Mukerji-directed War 2, the inexperience of Alpha director Shiv Rawail has left YRF concerned. Shiv has previously directed The Railway Men, which was a mini-series. YRF executives are reportedly unsure if he can handle a grand project like Alpha. According to the report, Aditya Chopra has stepped in to reshape and save Alpha. 'Sources suggest crucial revisions are being made to both the screenplay and its execution to ensure the film lives up to the studio's expectations and restores faith in the spy universe brand," the report claims. However, an official confirmation is yet to be received. Fans got a glimpse of Alpha in War 2's post-credit scene. In the sequence, Bobby Deol made a surprise appearance, marking his official entry into the Spy Universe. The scene showed him stamping the logo of an agency on a young girl's hand. When the girl asked what it meant, Bobby's character answered, 'Alpha." He explained that Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and their program's motto: 'The first, the fastest, the strongest." This intriguing interaction had fuelled speculation online that the girl might be a younger version of Alia Bhatt's character in Alpha. Bobby Deol is expected to play the main antagonist in the film, who possibly trains Alia's character before turning into her nemesis. Fans believe this twist adds a fascinating mentor-turned-enemy dynamic to the upcoming story. The post-credits moment sent fans into a frenzy, as it firmly established a bridge between War 2 and Alpha, which also stars Sharvari alongside Alia. By revealing Bobby Deol's villain in advance, YRF laid the groundwork for a darker, more layered expansion of its Spy Universe. With Aditya Chopra reportedly taking a more hands-on approach, will Alpha become a blockbuster hit? We will find out this December.
