Karate Kid Legends sinks on first Monday
Jackie Chan is in the limelight because of his latest release Karate Kid Legends, which hit the screens in India amid fanfare on May 30. It took a decent start but then tanked on its first Monday. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, it earned Rs 77 lakh in India on June 2. The figure is nearly 69% lower than the Rs 2.35 crore it earned on Sunday (June 1).
Here is the day-wise breakdown:
Day 1: Rs 1.6 crore
Day 2: Rs 2.39 crore
Day 3: Rs 2.35 crore
Day 4: Rs 77 lakh.
The total collection stands at Rs 7.11 crore. Karate Kid Legends received mixed reviews with critics lauding the performances but panning the 'outdated' storyline. This is one of the main reasons, it wasn't able to sustain on Monday.
Interestingly, Karate Kid Legends has failed to match the performance of Thunderbolts. The Marvel Movie, which was released on a Thursday, earned Rs 1.18 crore on its first Monday. It went on to collect Rs 22 crore (approx) in its full run. The film had an edge over the new Karate Kid movie because of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's popularity in India. Moreover, its star Florence Pugh also enjoys a following among fans because of her work in Oppenheimer.

Retail inflation likely to ease to 6-year low of 3% in May on cooling food prices: UBI
Retail inflation, or the Consumer Price Index (CPI), will continue to moderate to 3.0 per cent in May, a six-year low, mainly due to the sequential moderation in prices of cereals and pulses even as most other segments started to strengthen, according to a Union Bank of India (UBI) report. As per the inflation data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, retail inflation in April fell to 3.16 per cent from 3.34 per cent in March. CPI inflation is a key economic indicator that reflects the rate at which prices of goods and services consumed by households are increasing over time. Further, the report said that inflation, excluding vegetables, stayed steady at 4.11 per cent, while core inflation slightly increased to 4.18 per cent, mainly because of the low base from last year. However, the report added that weak demand and stable prices of most commodities (except precious metals) are expected to keep core inflation under control. The report added that inflation excluding gold likely stayed low at 3.4 per cent, up slightly from 3.3 per cent in April CPI slips to six-year lows, as the decline in inflation is attributed to a decrease in the prices of vegetables, pulses, and products, fruits, meat and fish, personal care and effects, and cereals and overall inflation declined 18 basis points in April 2025 compared to last year's to the data, core inflation remained almost flat at 4.09 per cent in April, while core inflation excluding gold stayed unchanged at 3.3 per CPI ex-transport, post-recording a spike in March (4.26 per cent), has again softened to 4.18 per cent.

This Indian Language Is The 3rd Most Spoken In The World
Last Updated: With over 600 million speakers, Hindi stands as the world's third most spoken language, expanding through diaspora, media, and digital platforms Hindi now ranks as the third most spoken language globally, with over 600 million speakers. While primarily spoken in India, its influence extends across continents, reaching nations such as Nepal, Fiji, Mauritius, and countries with significant Indian diaspora populations. Where Hindi Is Spoken Hindi is one of the official languages of India, alongside English. It is most widely spoken across northern and central Indian states, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Delhi. However, migration has spread the language far beyond India's borders. Today, Hindi speakers can be found across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Gulf nations. In some countries, localised forms such as Fiji Hindi and Mauritian Hindi have emerged, blending native vocabulary and regional nuances, demonstrating the language's adaptability. Hindi: A Pillar Of Culture Hindi is more than a means of communication; it is a cornerstone of Indian identity. It is the voice of India's collective heritage, echoing through its literature, cinema, and everyday life. Hindi serves as a cultural thread that binds diverse regions of India, reflecting shared traditions, values, and history. Bollywood, the world's largest film industry by output, has played a key role in taking Hindi beyond India's borders. Its films, music, and stars have captivated global audiences, sparking interest in the language among non-native speakers and making Hindi a cultural export recognised worldwide. The language's literary tradition includes legendary figures like Kabir, Tulsidas, and Premchand, whose works continue to shape educational curricula and cultural discourse in India and beyond. The digital revolution has further propelled Hindi's reach. From apps and websites to social media platforms, there is growing availability of content in Hindi. This has made the language more accessible, especially to younger audiences and learners around the world, ensuring its continued relevance in the modern age.
