'Coolie' producers take legal route; challenges A certificate in court; read more
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' continues to remain the talk of the town—not just for its roaring box office numbers but also for the controversy surrounding its censor certification. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the gangster action-drama opened to a thunderous start, collecting Rs 65 crore on its release day and touching an impressive Rs 400 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, as reported by the Sacnilk website. Meanwhile, the film had received an unexpected 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and now the producers have decided to take the legal route. Coolie | Song - I Am The Danger (Lyrical) As reported by 123 Telugu website, Sun Pictures has approached the Madras High Court, challenging the 'A' certificate. For the first time in nearly three decades, a Rajinikanth film was given an adults-only rating—an unusual move that restricted family audiences, especially children, from watching the film in multiplexes. Reportedly, the production house has now requested the court to downgrade the film to a 'U/A,' citing that Coolie doesn't contain extreme violence or explicit content. Many netizens, however, are puzzled about why the challenge came so late, arguing that the damage to its family audience base has already been done. Box office still holding strong Despite the certification controversy, 'Coolie' has held its ground at the ticket windows. According to early estimates, the film earned Rs 9.50 crore on Tuesday (Day 6), taking its total net collection in India to Rs 216 crore. While the opening day created history with Rs 65 crore, Friday saw a dip to Rs 54.75 crore. Mixed reviews for Lokesh Kanagaraj's film On the other hand, 'Coolie' is receiving mixed reviews from the audiences, mainly due to plot holes and also a less engaging narrative when compared to other Lokesh Kanagaraj films like 'Vikram', 'Kaithi'. Even with mixed reviews, with no major competitions ahead, 'Coolie' will surely wreak havoc at the box office.

(Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP, File) Singer, actor and reality TV star Tamar Braxton said Tuesday that she "almost died" in a weekend accident that she doesn't remember. "I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury," Braxton wrote in an Instagram post. "I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility." She added, "I don't even know what happened to me. " Braxton, 48, earlier in the day had posted "Thank you God for waking me up today," in an Instagram story. She said she was getting calls after and was struggling to talk so she shared what had happened to her. The post also said "the way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins... pray for me for real." An email to Braxton's manager seeking more details was not immediately answered. Braxton was part of a singing group with her sisters, including Toni Braxton , who went on to a major solo career. They and other family members appeared on the reality series "Braxton Family Values" starting in 2011, and Tamar Braxton has since appeared in spin-offs and other reality shows. As an actor, her recent credits include the TV series "Kingdom Business." And she has spent much of the year on a solo singing tour.

Why is BLACKPINK's Lisa facing 'sexual harassment' accusations from Kentaro Sakaguchi's fans? All we know about Dream controversy
Lisa of BLACKPINK recently released a visually stunning and emotionally raw short film titled Dream, where she stars opposite acclaimed Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi. While the project itself was meant to capture themes of love, loss, and longing, it's an off-camera moment between the two leads that has stirred a heated conversation online, even sparking 'sexual harassment' claims. Kentaro Sakaguchi's fans accuse Lisa of 'sexual harassment' A behind-the-scenes photo, shared by Lisa herself on her Instagram account, from the shoot of Dream has been circulating online, showing Lisa biting Kentaro Sakaguchi's arm while the two were off-camera. While many found the gesture playful, the photo has now ignited controversy online. In Japanese online spaces, some users criticised the gesture, calling it unprofessional or even labelling it as sexual harassment. One viral comment questioned, 'What if the roles were reversed?' suggesting that male celebrities wouldn't be excused in similar situations. Japanese netizens bully Lisa online Ever since the now-controversial photo went viral, some Japanese users have launched aggressive online smear campaigns targeting the BLACKPINK star. What began as criticism over a single moment quickly escalated, with individuals digging up old videos of Lisa and flooding social media with harsh comments and insinuations. These resurfaced clips—completely unrelated to the Dream project—have been used to frame Lisa in an unflattering light, sparking concern among fans who see the attacks as excessive, targeted, and deeply unfair. Many have called the behaviour outright bullying, urging others to step back and consider context before fuelling the fire. LISA receives racist commens & wishes for her to d*e EVERYWHERE: Weibo, IG, Twitter, even VLIVE where she clearly saw the comment SINCE EVER.

Fans emphasised that chemistry between co-stars often requires a close bond, both on and off screen. Others pointed out that playful gestures, like the bite, may have been a sign of comfort or camaraderie, not meant to be dissected in public discourse. nah I'm acc sick ??? these japanese people are calling her all kinds of names in the qrts they're worse than the little sevens 😟😟 Lisa I need u to never work with a man again until we figure out what's going on More about Dream At the heart of it all is Dream, the short film itself, a poetic, 5-minute piece released on August 13, 2025, as part of Lisa's solo music project.
