High-decibel fun and dark thrills await Tamil television and OTT viewers
Vijay TV fame standup comedian Kuraishi, who dons the role of host in this show, brings his signature blend of wit, spontaneity, and sharp timing. The episodes buzz with laughter as celebrity guests race against the clock to identify quirky sounds and recognise film actors by imitating their voices.
The first round opens with some wild singing as contestants scream in high-pitched voices to keep the ball on video screen rolling without hitting blocks. Then there are audio-based challenges and a series of sound-based rounds.
The contestants and audience are caught in fun twists, as guests take on tasks, such as dunking their heads in water to mouth a song or movie title for teammates to guess and win prizes worth up to ₹1 lakh. The one-hour show premieres every Sunday at 3.30 p.m. and is also available on JioHotstar after the television broadcast.
Horror flicks

From the haunting village mystery Paramasivan Fathima on Aha Tamil to the psychological twists of filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's Saaree on Lionsgate Play, fresh releases offer an escape into chilling storytelling at the tap of a button.
Directed by Esakki Karvannan, the horror-thriller Paramasivan Fathima has Vimal and Chayadevi as lead actors, along with prominent artistes, including M.S. Bhaskar. It is a blend of horror with social drama set against a rural backdrop, ideal for audiences who are into Tamil folklore and horror flicks.
Saaree, an intense psychological drama inspired by real-life incidents, is written and presented by Mr. Varma and directed by Giri Krishna Kamal. Speaking about the film, Mr. Varma, in a press release, said it is not just a fictional story; the movie reflects the frightening reality of how digital spaces have turned into breeding grounds for stalking and obsession.

Box Office: War 2 sees decent international presales of USD 1.35 million, 2 days before release; Targets a USD 8 million extended first weekend
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others is seeing a strictly decent response internationally, given the size of film that it is, and given the anticipation that everyone had for a film with two of the countries most loved stars. The total weekend advance bookings for War 2 at the end of 11th August, 2025, sit at USD 1.35 million and that's not good enough. With these advances, favourable word of mouth will only take it to an ordinary USD 7.5 - 8 million for the opening weekend, including the August 13 premieres. Coolie Gears Up For A USD 2.3 - 2.5 Million International Start; A USD 8 Million Extended Weekend Is On The Cards The day 1 of War 2 including premieres is looking to be USD 2.3 - 2.5 million. These numbers are atleast 50 percent less than what they should have been. With the presence of a major Telugu star like Jr NTR, a big initial number was expected in US atleast. But that hasn't happened with the movie only looking at USD 800-900 thousand from previews in US, as compared to USD 2.6 million that Devara did. Obviously Devara level bookings were not to be expected, but it should have done USD 1.5 plus million atleast. Australia Is The Best Market For War 2 In Terms Of Potential Realised The Hindi version of War 2, being a midweek release, is lagging. Though the advance is a bit better for the weekend, it is still not a game changer. Australia looks to be like the only market with potential realised, to an extent. A A$1M extended weekend is on the cards and that's pretty good. Regardless, the urgency to see two big stars do what they do best is not visible and that's disheartening. One would hope that the content of the movie lands, because if it doesn't, it will be catastrophic. The global day one of War 2 is scaled down to under Rs 100 crore. An extended weekend of around Rs 325-350 crore is what is expected, as compared to Rs 400 crore for Coolie. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Exclusive: Shrutika Arjun on Bigg Boss, Salman Khan, Life After the Show, and the True Meaning of Love
In an exclusive conversation with The Hans India, actress Shrutika Arjun opened up about her life after Bigg Boss, her current projects, and the personal love story that changed her perspective forever. Coming out of the Bigg Boss house was far from easy for Shrutika. 'It was traumatic like a luxury jail,' she admitted with a laugh. 'But the kind of exposure it gives you is totally worth it. And for Salman sir, it's super worth it.' While the reality show is known for its intense dynamics and emotional challenges, Shrutika said she has no regrets. 'I'm a completely new face to the Hindi audience, and still, they took me into the biggest show with pan-India reach. I'm so thankful to the channel and to Endemol for that opportunity. It was very tough, but I have no regrets at all.' When asked about any behind-the-scenes conversations with Salman Khan, Shrutika clarified with a smile, 'Everything was in front of the camera. You didn't miss anything,trust me.' Life After Bigg Boss Shrutika is now channeling her energy into new ventures, including judging a Tamil reality show titled Single Pasanga. 'It's basically for single boys who haven't been able to fix themselves up with a permanent girlfriend or are finding it tough to get a bride,' she explained. 'It's something 90s kids can relate to because relationships these days are harder to stick with. It's light, fun, and very relatable, people are going to enjoy it.' Her Idea of Love Since the show touches on relationships, the conversation naturally shifted to Shrutika's own view on love. For her, it's deeply personal and shaped by her husband, Arjun. 'Before I met Arjun, I had a checklist of how I wanted my partner to be,' she recalled. 'But Arjun allowed me to be myself. He loved me exactly as I am. I learned what love truly is from him, it's letting the other person be who they are and loving them for it, not changing them into who you want them to be.' With a career spanning acting, reality television, and now judging, Shrutika's journey reflects a mix of resilience, charm, and heartfelt authenticity, qualities that have won her admirers both on and off the screen.
