Coolie pair Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajnikanth get top rank in IMDb's Most Popular Celebs list; Hrithik Roshan on 11th spot, Celebrities list
We are halfway into the year, and already two mega films have dominated the summer box office. Coolie and War 2, released on Independence Day weekend, have created new box office records and revived the slump in the theatre business. Now IMDb has come out with its 'Most Popular Indian Celebrities for the Week List' and it seems like Coolie fever has taken over the viewer-dictated celebrity list with Lokesh Kanagaraj heading the pack at slot number one, closely followed by Coolie leading man Rajinikanth in second place. The data derived from user traffic on IMDb's official website truly speaks to the popularity of the Tamil blockbuster's appeal to audiences everywhere. This list also features other actors, such as Adarsh Gaurav, in 5th place for his role in the new legacy TV show 'Alien Earth'. However, Coolie is closely followed by War 2 in the IMDb list, with Hrithik Roshan securing an 8th place in the list and his co-star in the movie, Jr. NTR, coming in at the 11th spot. The leading lady of War 2, Kiara Advani, and its director, Ayan Mukherjee, closely follow in positions 15th and 18th in the list, respectively. This data is based on the buzz and audience anticipation generated by the season's biggest two blockbusters, Coolie with the 'Lokesh Kanagaraj Factor'and War 2, with its franchise goodwill. Also Read | Coolie Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 5: Rajinikanth's film clocks Rs 206 crore nett, sees 65% drop on Monday, trails behind Saiyaara, Jailer Coolie has already crossed the Rs. 400 crore mark at the global box office, and Lokesh Kanagaraj joins the pantheon of filmmakers like S S Rajamouli and Rajkumar Hirani with the maximum number of back-to-back films in the prestigious' '400 crore' club. Superstar Rajinikanth and team are all set to reach the Rs 500 crore milestone soon. If that happens in less than ten days, Coolie will be the fastest film in Tamil cinema history to reach the 500 crore milestone in that time period. Even though the fifth-day collections from its first Monday have been encouraging enough for team Coolie, the film trails behind the fifth-day collections of movies like Vicky Kaushal's Chaava and YRF's surprise blockbuster Saiyaara, both of which are still the first and second highest grossers of the year, followed by Coolie in third place. The fact that the collections for Coolie have been slightly lower than that of Rajinikanth's own earlier blockbuster Jailer tells you all you need to know about Coolie's current trend at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie raked in a net Indian collection of Rs. 12.15 crores on Monday, thereby bringing its domestic gross to Rs. 206.67 crores. It also reports that Coolie has faced a 65% dip in its daily figures as compared to Sunday, when the film took in Rs. 32.25 crores at the theatres. On the other hand, War 2, the rival release, has been doing significantly worse with a collection of Rs. 8.5 crore on Monday and is showing a 75% dip in its revenue on its first Monday. War 2 has seen a dip in its box office performance, and as per reports from Sacnilk is currently just behind Yash Raj Film's lowest-grossing film, Ek Tha Tiger, from the spy universe in terms of its final figures. The Hindi version seems to be doing good, followed closely by the Telugu version, partly owing to the presence of Jr NTR. The film's performance in the Tamil dubbed versions has been underwhelming to say the least. Going by the current figures, it would be a while before War 2 reaches the Rs. 200 crore gross from the domestic market. Coolie also features an extended ensemble cast consisting of Nagarjuna Akkineni, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir and Shruthi Haasan among others. The film bankrolled by Sun Pictures was made of a budget of 350 crores and is already the third Rajinikanth film in the 400 club crore. War 2 features an additional cast consisting of Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor. It would be quite the uphill task for War 2 in the coming few days to clear the absolute domination in the domestic gross collections set by Coolie.

Zakir Khan scripts history with first-ever Hindi comedy show at Madison Square Garden; Hasan Minhaj says, ‘My parents love him more than me now'. Watch
Zakir Khan, widely regarded as one of the most celebrated stand-up comics in India, has scripted history by becoming the first comedian to perform a show in Hindi at New York City's famous indoor arena, Madison Square Garden. Renowned for his anecdotal and observational humour, Zakir rose to fame in 2012 after winning Comedy Central's 'India's Best Stand-Up' competition. He eventually went on to become one of the most acclaimed comics in the country, thanks to his 'sakth launda' persona, relatable sets and ability to weave into them poetry and a bit of philosophy. On Sunday, Zakir Khan performed to a sold-out audience of 6,000, which included Indian-origin American comedian and television host Hasan Minhaj. Taking to Instagram, Hasan gave a resounding shoutout to his 'bhai' for the massive achievement. Sharing a carousel post featuring photos from the event, he wrote, 'A historic night for comedy around the world! Last night I got to see my brother Zakir Bhai become the first comedian in history to headline Madison Square Garden entirely in Hindi. He combines storytelling and poetry in ways that elevate the genre of comedy to places I've never seen before. I also think my parents love him more than me (I'm okay with that).' Zakir Khan also took to his Instagram to share glimpses from the monumental night. Soon, his comment section was flooded with congratulatory messages, including from show business tycoons. While legendary actor Tabu congratulated him with several applause emojis, Vir Das — considered one of the pioneers of the modern Indian stand-up comedy scene — expressed his admiration for the comedian. Iranian-American comedian-actor Max Amini, actors Zareen Khan, Kritika Kamra and Ahsaas Channa, and comic Aaditya Kulshreshth aka Kullu also heaped praise on him. Actor Arjun Kapoor, too, penned a sweet note for Zakir. 'Fantastic Zakir bhai, Madison Square Garden sold out!!! Making all of us proud,' he wrote on his Instagram Stories. Comics Munawar Faruqui, Harsh Gujral, Rahul Dua and Devaiah Bopanna, as well as actor Gajraj Rao, fashion designer Manish Malhotra, entrepreneur-social media personality Nikhil Kamath and mentalist Suhani Shah also expressed their adoration for Zakir on social media.

Hailing from a family of musicians, he also holds a diploma in sitar. 'I started watching the videos of Russell Peters somewhere in 2009, and that was my introduction to stand-up. The next year, I was unemployed and in Delhi. One day, a potential employer came and offered a stand-up gig to my roommate. He didn't take me because I was too smart to take to a 'happening place'. So my roommate came back and told me that the comedy scene is growing and that I could totally kill it. I had the material and jokes… All from my life experiences,' he told the publication in 2019, recalling his foray into the world of comedy. Although his initial stint bombed, Zakir did not give up and kept honing his craft. He eventually started doing live shows more often and also wrote the comedy show, On Air with AIB. In 2018, he arrived with his own streaming series, Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare. Created and headlined by Zakir, the Amazon Prime Video show became an instant hit and has had three seasons so far. He also appeared as a judge on the stand-up comedy competition Comicstaan for two seasons.

Stephen King's 'The Long Walk' gits Indian cinemas on September 12 – A gripping thriller from 'Hunger Games' director Francis Lawrence
Featuring an ensemble of rising talent alongside seasoned performers, The Long Walk captures both the brutal physical demands of the competition and the emotional depth of friendships formed under impossible circumstances PVR INOX Pictures is proud to bring Stephen King's legendary novel The Long Walk to Indian cinemas on 12th September 2025. Directed by Francis Lawrence- the filmmaker behind The Hunger Games films, this chilling adaptation thrusts audiences into a brutal contest where one hundred boys must walk… and only one survives. Set in a near-future America, The Long Walk blends unrelenting suspense with raw human drama. Each step pushes the competitors closer to victory and closer to the breaking point of body and spirit. It's a story of survival, sacrifice, and the bonds forged when life itself hangs in the balance. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Why does this story endure? Because it comes from a master storyteller, brought to screen by a director who has spent two decades haunted by its power. Speaking about the film, Director Francis Lawrence said, 'The Long Walk has haunted me for over twenty years - not just for its terrifying walk-or-die premise, but for the raw, authentic bonds between its characters. It's an epic story told with intimacy, where the tension comes as much from human connection as from survival. At its heart, it's a gripping metaphor for the erosion of the American dream, a reflection of the pressures and disillusionment so many face today. Stephen King's novel felt urgent when it was written, and somehow, it feels even more relevant now.' Featuring an ensemble of rising talent alongside seasoned performers, The Long Walk captures both the brutal physical demands of the competition and the emotional depth of friendships formed under impossible circumstances. Each step takes the walkers closer to victory — and to the breaking point of their humanity. A rare blend of epic scale and intimate storytelling, The Long Walk is more than a thriller - it's a deeply affecting portrait of endurance, hope, and the will to survive against all odds. The walk begins in cinemas across India from 12th Sept. Step in if you dare!
