Ameesha Patel calls her and Hrithik OG crushes amid Saiyaara vs Kaho Naa comparison
She highlighted that discussions comparing both the films started circulating even before the film's release. "But yes, I have also been seeing this comparison. Not just now, but even before the film's release. Social media and PR teams were already comparing it to 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'," Patel said. Patel reiterated her best wishes for the newcomers, expressing hope that they, too, will achieve great success."I wish the newcomers the very best again, and I hope this new couple continue to create 'Gadar' going forward. 25 saal lage, lekin kisi ki to comparison humari cult film se ho rahi hai (It took 25 years but at least something is being compared to our cult film)," she remarked.The 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' actor earlier shared her encouragement for the stars of 'Saiyaara' on X ((formerly Twitter). "Wishing the 'Saiyaara' couple Ahaan and Aneet all the best!! May you continue to create 'Gadar' at the box office in future films as well !! Kahaa Naa Pyaar Hai (I said I love you). Shine bright always and welcome to the movies," Patel wrote.'Saiyaara' was released in theatres on July 18. The romantic film is directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films. It tells the story of Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra, portrayed by Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, respectively.- EndsMust Watch

Is Saiyaara's title track copied from Jubin Nautiyal and One Direction?
Actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's 'Saiyaara' is making headlines, and for various reasons. From the highest opening for a debutant to fans going crazy for the movie in the theatres. But there have been other headlines speculating whether the film was copied from a Korean movie, 'A Moment To Remember'. Now people have moved to the movie's songs, and if they have been copied from the former British boy-band One Direction and Indian singer Jubin specifically, the title track of Saiyaara, a soaring ballad that's been topping charts and social reels, is now under fire for sounding, let's say, suspiciously familiar. The whispers began online, and now they've grown louder. Is 'Saiyaara's' main theme copied from One Direction's 'Night Changes' and Jubin Nautiyal's 'Humnava Mere'? The intro is a haunting piano melody that sets the tone for 'Saiyaara's' heartbreak anthem. But if you've ever cried to 'Night Changes' during your teenage years, you'll notice something jarringly similar. The two intros are near identical, right down to the key, the note progression, and the emotional timbre. The only major difference? Saiyaara's tempo is slowed, almost like someone pressed the heartbreak button twice. As the song progresses, listeners online claim that the rest of the composition borrows heavily from Jubin Nautiyal's 'Humnava Mere'. From the rhythm to the pacing, the similarity is undeniable. In fact, a fan video circulating on Facebook even lines up both tracks side by side, and the resemblance is hard to a look at the video: (Video Credit: Facebook/Sunit Singh Manisha)Inspiration in music isn't new. Artists borrow, adapt, and reimagine all the time. There's been no official response from the music director or the production team. But with social media receipts now part of every public court, the debate continues to gain the accusations, 'Saiyaara' is still drawing crowds, and the chemistry between Panday and Padda, paired with the film's emotional core, is connecting with audiences. The film's blend of drama, romance, and music is clearly working.- Ends

Rangeen X Reviews: Viewers Call Its ‘Gigolo Plotline 'Confused But Quirky'
Last Updated: Rangeen follows a journalist who wishes to become a gigolo after catching his wife cheating on him. Rangeen, the latest drama series featuring Vineet Kumar Singh, Rajshri Deshpande, and Taaruk Raina in the lead roles, has dropped on Prime Video. After the trailer was released, Rangeen seemed to take the audience on a fun and emotional ride. As the episodes unfolded, fans noticed that the series does not have the clarity of what it wants to be. Soon after the release, fans took to Twitter to show their disappointment as the series lost its charm while jumping from comedy to drama to awkward emotional scenes. One user wrote, 'A man becomes a gigolo… to take revenge on his cheating wife. #RangeenOnPrime had a fire concept but lost the plot midway. Bold start. Bland end. Watch it for Sheeba Chaddha & some quirky moments. Skip if you're expecting depth."

'# Rangeen: Bold premise, shaky execution. #VineetKumarSingh is sincere but lost in a muddled script. #TaarukRaina & #SheebaChaddha shine, but tonal shifts and slow pacing dim the spark.

And #Rangeen? Prime Video just ghosted its show. Strong cast. Great story. ZERO buzz." What Is The Plot Of Rangeen? Rangeen begins with a journalist named Adarsh Johri (played by Vineet Kumar Singh), who runs a newspaper, and his wife Naina (played by Rajshri Deshpande), who supports him unconditionally. Adarsh is fully focused on his career and his newspaper business, which he wants to grow across the state. However, things take a sharp turn when he catches his wife cheating on him with a male escort, aka gigolo, Sunny (played by Taaruk Raina). After catching them in the act, Adarsh decides to follow the gigolo to make his life hell. In a turn of events, Adarsh receives a reality check from Naina, who shocks him by saying that Adarsh could not satisfy her in bed, and therefore, she had to find solace in a gigolo. After hearing this, Adarsh decides to become a gigolo and takes help from Sunny. Will Adarsh become a gigolo and go on the path of self-discovery, or will he succumb to the temptation of the profession? The climax of Rangeen will have your answer. Directed by Amardeep Galsin and Amir Rizvi, the series ultimately did not meet the expectations of the fans. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

With Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir, Jr NTR adding a fresh dose of intensity as Vikram, and Kiara stepping into a role unlike anything the audience has seen her in before, the stakes are higher than ever. The film is slated for a global release on August 14, just in time for Independence Day. And if Jr NTR's fanbase is anything to go by, this film isn't just going to open big, it's going to explode. As the actor himself hinted, this time, the encounter has no rules. And that applies to fans' love, too.
