5 years of 'Bulbbul': Revisiting Triptii Dimri's big impact on the screen
Triptii Dimri tasted success with her unpredictable role in the critically acclaimed film, Bulbbul. The film, released on Netflix in 2020, was a horror drama that delved into the tales of a supernatural woman in the forest killing men in the night. Additionally, it also followed the story of a child bride and her journey from innocence to freedom. And today, Bulbbul completes five successful years and continues to connect with cinema lovers for its empowering story that also blends horror and mystery..While Animal is often cited as Triptii's breakout role, critics initially celebrated her powerful debut in Bulbbul, a film she found deeply challenging. With a film that was not everyday cinema, Triptii portrayed the emotional complexities of loss of love, life, and also pulled off scenes by showing the destructive power of female rage. Triptii shared the screen space with Rahul Bose and had earlier revealed that she couldn't have asked for a nicer co-star.Triptii pulled off a role that showcased her transformation from a naive girl to a fearless woman. Demonstrating her acting range to the fullest, Triptii picked up a layered role that was mentally exhausting and at times, she found herself getting tired of physically essaying it. Despite this, the role turned out to be rewarding for her. The actress counts on Bulbbul as a huge learning experience, and shares that there was always something new for her to learn as an actor and as a human being.Currently, Triptii is on a roll with two immediate big releases up for release. Recently, she created a splash all over the internet with two major film announcements, Spirit with Prabhas and Dhadak 2 with co-star Siddhant Chaturvedi..With one being directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and the other being Shazia Iqbal, Triptii has proven to be the most in-demand actress in today's time. While Spirit is yet to get a release date, Dhadak 2 is scheduled for release on August 1. In addition to these, she also has Animal Park, Arjun Ustara with Shahid Kapoor, and an untitled film with Imtiaz Ali in the pipeline.

'K-pop Demon Hunters' has BTS' DNA? Netflix anime film traced back to Bangtan boys' iconic COVID-19 virtual concert
Netflix's recently released K-pop Demon Hunters is gaining global attention, with everyone talking about everything from the characters' visuals to the catchy soundtrack. In light of all the love and excitement the animated film is receiving, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have opened up about the inspiration behind the concept. Director Maggie Kang emphasized how deeply the film is rooted in the global influence of Korean culture. "This film is inspired by the enormous influence Korean culture has had in entertainment - K-pop, Korean movies, dramas. It's the first animated film set in modern Korea to explore that culture. All the voice actors and vocalists are Korean talent, which makes it even more meaningful," she said according to Naver. She added, "It's been a dream of mine since I first started working. Sharing this with the cast has been incredibly rewarding. While making the film, I was so touched to hear from artists who weren't familiar with Korean culture or K-pop say they still deeply connected with the characters and music. It reminded me why we make these films - because stories transcend background or language. We all have insecurities, we all seek connection." Is 'K-pop Demon Hunters' related to BTS? Co-director Chris Appelhans also shared that the idea for the film was born during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. "Maggie and I began planning this film during the pandemic—a time when people all over the world were struggling to feel connected. Then BTS held an online concert, and suddenly millions of people, including us, were singing and dancing to Dynamite from our homes. For a moment, the world felt a little brighter." That moment became a creative catalyst. "We wanted to make something fun, trendy, and packed with action - everything you'd expect from a film like K-Pop Demon Hunters. But I also wanted to capture that rare feeling when a powerful song touches your heart, drowns out the noise, and even silences the demons inside us." Appelhans closed with a heartfelt wish: "Through the characters' journeys and the songs they sing, I hope viewers can feel even a fraction of the joy and light BTS gave us during that time." More about 'K-pop Demon Hunters' The animated film follows Huntricks, a K-pop girl group who secretly battle evil spirits using their voices, and their rivals, Lion Boys - idols made entirely of dark forces. This unique twist on K-pop idol culture has struck a chord with audiences worldwide. Featuring high-energy tracks like Golden, Soda Pop, and Takedown, the film blends K-pop style with traditional Korean elements. Its fresh concept and cultural depth have earned it critical acclaim, including a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.

Squid Game goes from Netflix to Hollywood! Mr Beast's video, The Challenge, David Fincher's work among adaptations
Squid Game season 3 is the final season of Netflix's runaway hit series that focuses on a deadly game that protagonist Seong Gi-Hun gets roped into after his dire life circumstances leave him tempted by the opportunity. However, the series has already become a pop culture phenomenon, being one of Netflix's biggest success stories not just in South Korea, but also worldwide. Therefore it should come as no surprise that there have already been multiple attempts to adapt the premise to other formats including a YouTube recreation, a Netflix game show, and a currently in-production Hollywood adaptation. Let's take a look at the three. Mr Beast's Squid Game video I now have every game from Squid Game built in real life :) One of the first major adaptations of Squid Game's premise came from Mr Beast, the biggest channel on YouTube, who posted an unofficial recreation of Squid Game after the release of the first season. The video, uploaded on 25 November 2021, recreated many of the iconic challenges of the Squid Game series, with contestants being invited to compete for a $456,000 cash prize. Mr. Beast has since continued organizing game shows, with him signing a high-profile contract with Amazon Prime in 2024 to launch his own game show series known as Beast Games. Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge After Mr. Beast, it was Netflix's turn to make Squid Game into their own reality show. Squid Game: The Challenge was produced in the United Kingdom by Studio Lambert and The Garden, and had 456 contestants play the various challenges for a shot at winning a cash prize of $4.56 million. The first season of Squid Game: The Challenge aired from 22nd November 2023 to 6th December of the same year. Shortly before the first season finale, Netflix confirmed that a second season of the reality game show had been greenlit. David Fincher's Squid Game David Fincher's 'SQUID GAME' series will be set in America.(Source: Deadline) Squid Game is set to have a Hollywood live-action adaptation helmed by David Fincher, as reported by Deadline on October 2024. The project is still relatively early in development, so exact details on the production are sparse. However, given that the original Squid Game's finale is fast approaching, it's entirely possible that Netflix might promote David Fincher's work next to continue the franchise.

EXCLUSIVE: Thug Life set for an OTT premiere in 4 weeks; Digital price reduced, multiplexes impose a fine
The Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam collaboration on Thug Life was among the most awaited of the year, as the duo reunited four decades after their cult Nayakan. The pre-release anticipation resulted in the makers opting for a 8-week digital window, breaking out from the usual norm of a 4-week window that exists in the Tamil Film Industry. The film however failed to impress the audience, and turned out to be a major theatrical failure. It has been almost 3 weeks since the release, the film is out of most theatres already. And now, Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that Thug Life team have decided to break the 8-week OTT window, and opt for an early release on digital medium. 'Thug Life will premiere on Netflix in just 4 weeks. The negotiations were made after Netflix decided to reduce the OTT price of Thug Life. The film was valued at Rs 130 crore prior to the release, and Netflix was looking to renegotiate the price at Rs 90 crore after the dismissal run. But the parties eventually settled down at Rs 110 crore for the digital right, with a reduced OTT window of 4 weeks,' revealed a source. This has resulted in a breach of contract between the producers of Thug Life with the distributor and the national multiplex chains in North India. 'There's a norm in North India to strictly follow a 8-week window. As Thug Life time has breached the guidelines, the National Multiplex Chains have imposed a fine on the producers. It's a nominal amount, where the producers and distributors of Thug Life have to forgo their theatrical share from Hindi. Incidentally, the amount comes to Rs 25 lakh,' the source informed. Interestingly, this is the second time after Indian 2, that the producers have gone back on the commitment of an 8-week OTT window. Our source insists that the multiplex players are still fighting it out with Thug Life team to follow a 8-week window, but the odds of a shorter window for premiere are high at the moment. However, there will be stricter with the guidelines, putting a no-backout clause in the times to come. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!
