Shakti Kapoor's Gold Rate Prediction Goes Viral As Prices Hit Rs 1 Lakh, Fans Call Him ‘Real Analyst'
Gold prices in India surged to historic highs, crossing Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams. Amid this, an old video from Shakti Kapoor's film Guru predicting the gold rate surge went viral on social media!
Gold prices have spiked in India, crossing the Rs 1 lakh mark per 10 grams on Tuesday (April 22). This news has become the topic of discussion on social media, and has also triggered a hilarious meme fest on X (previously Twitter). A video clip featuring Shakti Kapoor from the 1989 film 'Guru', has gone viral. In the scene, Shakti Kapoor makes an eerily accurate prediction about the skyrocketing value of gold, and the video has left fans amused. Meme-makers shared the viral video clip, hilariously dubbing Kapoor a 'visionary', and a 'real analyst'.
The meme that has gone viral on social media shows Shakti Kapoor- who plays the villain Vicky in 'Guru'- delivering a dramatic monologue to Mithun Chakraborty's character. 'Uske baad humare sone ka bhaav badhega. 5,000 rupya tola, 10,000 ka tola, 50,000 ka tola, 1 lakh tola (After that, the value of our gold will increase — Rs 5,000 per tola, 10,000 per tola, 50,000 per tola, Rs 1 lakh per tola!)," Shakti Kapoor is heard saying, in the video clip. Fans were amused, and pointed out that the actor had already predicted gold prices touching the Rs 1 lakh mark.

'The Real Analyst, Shakti Kapoor predicted Gold rates 35 year ago. Salute to him," wrote one X user, while another one hilariously wrote, 'Shakti Kapoor is the best stock market analyst Predicted Gold to hit 1 lac decades back." 'Now have to dig in to old movies to check the predictions on #GoldPrice ….perfect from Shakti Kapoor," added a third netizen, while another one humorously called him a 'visionary'.
The 1989 film 'Guru', directed by Umesh Mehra stars Mithun Chakraborty, Sridevi, Shakti Kapoor.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shakti Kapoor was last seen in 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' starring Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh. He was also seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film 'Animal'.

Trump vs Musk: Call the breakup poetic justice. Call it karmic crypto-collapse. Just don't call it surprising
Some alliances hum like clockwork. Others tick like time bombs. This one? It was always a countdown. When two men believe the world revolves around them, it's only a matter of time before their orbits collide. And when they do, the explosion isn't quiet. Rather, it's a full-blown Twitter meltdown with echoes loud enough to rattle both Wall Street and Mar-a-Lago. And boy, we are watching the best cosmic collision since Pluto got downgraded. Welcome to the spectacular implosion of the Trump–Musk bromance. What began as a mutual admiration society of billionaire chest-thumping and red-hat flirting has now devolved into the kind of public breakup even the Real Housewives would find a bit too messy. Let's rewind. Once upon a time, in the golden age of post-truth politics, Elon Musk, the tech messiah, meme lord, and part-time Mars enthusiast, decided to dip his toes into political kingmaking. A neat little $277 million was funnelled into the Donald Trump campaign machinery. In any other part of the world, this would be called oligarchic meddling. In the United States, it's called 'Super Tuesday'. Trump, ever the transactional romantic, reciprocated by giving Musk a cosy seat at the regulatory table named DOGE, where he could quietly dismantle watchdogs, neuter climate policies, and make capitalism great again (for Tesla stock). Love was in the air. Or maybe, it was just the fumes from Musk's Boring Company flamethrowers. But like all ill-fated love stories, this one came with red flags. Musk's reputation, once burnished with visions of space colonies and clean energy, began to crumble under the weight of layoffs, lawsuits, and livestreamed tantrums. Turns out, being the adult in the room is hard when you're too busy rebranding Twitter into an unpronounceable algebra problem. Enter phase two: Reputation rehab. Suddenly, Musk was 'distancing' himself from the Trump administration. He quit councils, tweeted vaguely progressive things, and flirted with the idea of centrism, all while pretending he hadn't spent the past four years quietly enjoying deregulation like a raccoon in a trash buffet. But this Thursday? The façade shattered. In a tweet that will one day be studied in both communications courses and FBI depositions, Musk posted: 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files.' He even had the gall to add: 'Have a nice day, DJT!' That wasn't a mic drop. That was a nuke in 280 characters. And let's be honest: If anyone was going to try to cancel someone else using Jeffrey Epstein, it was always likely to be Musk. Trump, unsurprisingly, didn't take it well. His reply was less subtle than a red tie in a wind tunnel: Musk is 'crazy,' and perhaps more worryingly for SpaceX investors, he threatened to cut off government contracts. Suddenly, two men who once shared bromantic photo ops and mutual disdain for accountability were hurling legal threats across a billion-dollar battlefield. Kanye West (of course) tried to play counsellor, tweeting something along the lines of 'bros don't fight, we love you both'. Unfortunately, love is dead and so is Kanye's credibility. And yet… are we really witnessing the final act? Let's not forget: Trump has made up with worse. Just ask Marco 'sweaty little man' Rubio or Ted 'your wife is ugly' Cruz. With Trump, personal insults are just foreplay. It's politics as WWE: Everyone's bleeding, but it's still part of the script. Still, there's something deliciously different this time. This feud doesn't feel like kayfabe. It feels real. Real messy. Real vindictive. Real stupid. And that makes it… kind of beautiful? Because if 2025 is going to be yet another parade of rich men yelling into microphones about how oppressed they are, the least we can ask for is a little entertainment. Preferably the kind that ends in lawsuits and meme wars. So, grab your popcorn. Watch the world's richest man implode on the platform he owns, while being roasted by the guy he helped elect. Call it poetic justice. Call it karmic crypto-collapse. Call it what you will. Just don't call it surprising. After all, in the immortal words of the internet, 'This you?'

Last Updated: Akshay Kumar-led comedy series Housefull released its fifth instalment, which earned an impressive Rs 22 crore on its first day.

Among the early successes is Housefull 5, which was released on June 6 with an impressive opening of Rs 22 crore at the domestic box office. Let's take a look at the top 5 Bollywood openers of 2025 so far: Chhaava As per Sacnilk reports, this historical drama smashed records by collecting Rs 31 crore net in India on its opening day.

Mumbai Apple India deal: 5 key facts about the brand's upcoming 12,616 sq ft store in Borivali
Borivali, a locality in Mumbai's western suburbs, has welcomed a high-profile new tenant, the Apple Store at Sky City Mall, developed by listed real estate firm Oberoi Realty. Over the past decade, Borivali has transformed into a premium retail hub, say real estate experts. In addition to the newly opened Sky City Mall (launched in March 2025), the area boasts at least three prominent retail high streets that attract leading global and domestic brands. With this growing commercial presence, 'Brand Borivali' is fast emerging as a strong contender to established retail destinations like Andheri, Bandra, and even South Mumbai. Apple India has leased 12,616 sq ft retail space in Mumbai's Borivali suburb for ₹17.35 lakh monthly rent as it prepares to launch its second store in Maharashtra and fourth in the country, according to documents accessed by real estate data analytics firm Propstack. The lease transaction registered on May 28, 2025, is for a total period of 130 months (nearly 11 years), with a rent escalation of 15% every three years. Apple has also paid a security deposit of ₹1.04 crore as part of the deal. The document showed that the lease has a lock-in period of 10 years and 10 months, effective from the commencement date. Also Read: Apple India leases 8000 sq ft of retail space in Bengaluru for ₹2 crore annual rent as Foxconn facility nears completion The lease agreement signed between Apple India and Oberoi Realty shows that the per sq ft rental for the Apple Store is over ₹137 per sq ft. However, experts opine that the rentals in Sky City Mall are up to ₹1,000 per sq ft. The lower rental in this case is due to revenue sharing between Apple India and Oberoi Realty. The agreement shows that above the per-month rental amount, Apple India will share revenue of 2% with Oberoi Realty for up to 42 months and 2.5% thereafter, starting from the 43rd month. Vikas Oberoi, CMD of Oberoi Realty, said during the company's Q4FY25 meeting in April 2025 that the per-square-foot rental in Sky City Mall is between ₹400 and ₹1,000. The per sq ft rental is different in Sky City Mall for different sizes, depending on the floor. "We have rentals up to ₹1,000 a sq ft on carpet area. So, between ₹400 and ₹1,000, it's something like that. So, it all depends on who is coming in. We have got a very nice gold souk, a special area where we have got all the jewellers there. We have very high-end watches in one segment, so they are very interesting. This is literally one of the best malls I would say in the country, the way it is designed, and the feedback that we get, it's really, really nice. And these are the deals signed at Rs.1,000 carpet," Oberoi had said. The mall is part of the Oberoi Sky City project, developed by Oberoi Realty along the Western Express Highway (WEH) in Borivali East, Mumbai. Spanning a gross leasable area (GLA) of approximately 12.07 lakh sq. ft. (with a leasable carpet area of around 7.24 lakh sq. ft.), the mall is a key component of the 25-acre mixed-use development 'Sky City,' undertaken by Incline Realty Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. According to a March 2023 research report by Motilal Oswal, around 3,200 families are expected to live in the vicinity, offering easy access to the mall. Its strategic location, with connectivity to both exit points of the Metro line, is expected to boost footfall. INOX has already signed on as an anchor tenant with a 10-screen multiplex, while leasing for the remaining space is underway. The report adds that the mall is expected to stabilise by FY25 and has the potential to generate annual rentals of ₹2.5 billion. Also Read: Mumbai real estate: Apple India leases space in Borivali mall for ₹2 cr annual rent to open fourth store in the country According to real estate experts, Borivali has become a magnet for premium retail, boasting at least three prominent high streets featuring luxury jewellery stores, high-end fashion, watches, footwear, and branded department stores. 'Sky City Mall in Borivali East is already commanding rentals of up to ₹1,000 per sq ft, highlighting the growing demand for quality retail space in the suburb,' said Chintan Vasani, partner at Wisebiz Developers, a real estate firm active in the Borivali-Dahisar belt. 'The mall is poised to compete directly with Borivali's established high streets. We're seeing a ripple effect; brands in Borivali West are already renegotiating rental rates. While this may be a short-term correction, the long-term trend is clear: retail brands will continue to expand in Borivali.' The surge in interest is also driven by rising aspirations and disposable incomes of the area's middle and upper-middle class. 'Local consumers show strong, consistent demand, with luxury watch showrooms offering pieces priced between ₹1 lakh and ₹1 crore,' Vasani added. The redevelopment of ageing buildings is also paving the way for new high streets across the city, not just in Borivali. Mira Road, which is around 30% more affordable than Borivali, currently has a larger number of retail high streets and malls, reflecting shifting demand-supply dynamics. With its expanding retail footprint, 'Brand Borivali' is fast emerging as a strong challenger to traditional retail hotspots like Andheri, Bandra, and even South Mumbai, he said. Also Read: Top real estate deal in Mumbai's suburbs: 4 BHK apartment in Borivali sells for ₹14 crore at ₹56,000 per sq ft According to data from CRE Matrix, 122 leave and license agreements have been registered at Sky City Mall, with around 83 of them recorded in 2025 alone. Notable brands in the mall include Titan, Puma, Skechers, Adidas, Safari, Starbucks, and INOX.
