Farah Khan's cook Dilip says ‘Vijay Mallya toh chor hai' as he flirts with Payal Gaming in latest vlog, asks her how much she earns

Farah Khan and her cook, Dilip, paid a visit to the S8UL Gamers' collective in Navi Mumbai, and shot a new vlog at their facility. Immediately upon arriving, they were greeted by a garage full of fancy cars and bikes. Dilip hopped onto a Kawasaki, and admired a yellow Porsche. Before entering the house, Farah remarked, 'These gamers are making more money than us.' The S8UL Gamers collective comprises of several professional streamers, who operate from under one roof. The co-founder of the collective, Goldy, was also a part of the vlog. But the attention went to Payal Gaming, who runs India's biggest gaming channel with 4.3 million subscribers. Dilip kept flirting with her in an extended scripted gag, and insisted that he wants to become a gamer as well. 'How much money do you make?' he asked her. 'Do you want to be a gamer?' she replied, offering to teach him. Dilip asked several of her colleagues about their earnings as well, while Farah was shocked to see an entire walk-in closet filled with sneakers. 'I'm earning brownie points from my son by doing this. How much money are you people making…' she said, as she held her head in her hands. 'Bhai hum kya hi kama rahe hain, yeh bachche dekho kitna kama ke daal rahe hain sab,' she told Dilip.

During the task, Dilip was given a challenge. He was told that if he fails the challenge, he'd have to add extra chili in his noodles. 'What is the full form of BGMI?' one of the gamers asked Dilip, who misheard and replied, 'Vijay Mallya toh chor hai.' The answer seemed unscripted, because everyone was shocked. Farah walked out of the kitchen, once again with her head in her hands, and laughed by herself in living room. 'What did you think I said?' the gamer asked Dilip. The gamers' fans flooded the comments section, and remarked at the unlikely collaboration. 'Loved the crossover. Never imagined someone from Bollywood will recognize gaming and will reach our own s8ul house. The more you dig the more will love it, hope you will gain more interest in gaming,' one of the gamers wrote. Farah's YouTube channel has taken off, and currently has over 1.6 million subscribers. Meanwhile, Vijay Mallya recently gave an interview for the first time in nearly a decade, as he appeared on Raj Shamani's podcast to clear his name. He has been accused of financial fraud, and is currently a fugitive in the UK.

‘The Accountant 2' movie review: Adds up to a fairly good time

An assassin, Anaïs (Daniella Pineda), walks into a bar to meet Raymond King (J.K. Simmons), a former Treasury agent. He tells her he needs help finding a missing Salvadoran family and is then killed in the ensuing shootout. Treasury agent and King's protégée, Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), finds King's body with 'Find the Accountant' scrawled on his arm. Meanwhile, Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck), aka the Accountant, has gamed the dating app system and finds himself at a singles night, baring his teeth in what he imagines to be a pleasant smile. Though skeptical, Medina contacts Wolff, who ropes in his brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) for backup. Braxton is still a lethal assassin, despite being two weeks away from adopting a corgi puppy (aww) and sharing stories about the well-paid terrier from The Wizard of Oz with the lady at his job site. Chris, who is on the spectrum and brilliant with numbers, works as an accountant for dangerous people around the world. He stays one step ahead of the villains with help from Justine (Allison Robertson, Alison Wright, voice), whom he met as a boy at the Harbor Neuroscience Academy. The Accountant 2 (English) Director: Gavin O'Connor Cast: Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda, J.K. Simmons Storyline: A family goes missing, and everyone searching for them ends up in deep trouble. Run time: 132 minutes The hunt for the Salvadoran family pits the trio against human traffickers and all-around bad guys, including Burke (Robert Morgan), Cobb (Grant Harvey), and Batu (Andrew Howard). While not as tightly written as 2016's The Accountant, and therefore not quite as fun, The Accountant 2 shines in scenes where Bernthal and Affleck riff off each other. Shifting the focus away from Affleck's autistic accountant makes the sequel feel more like a standard action flick. The sequel also suffers from several inexplicable plot points. Unlike the original, where Medina's methodical tracking of Christian felt detailed and believable, this film skips over key motivations, starting with why King spent his retirement searching for this one family. Christian's back-story and where he got his particular set of skills added layers of authenticity to the character while helping in the world building. Still, Affleck remains watchable as ever, and even busts out some cool dance moves. What is with all these dancing accountants? We just saw Tom Hiddleston burn up the dance floor in The Life of Chuck! Apparently, a third film and a series are in the works. For fans of The Accountant, the sequel may not deliver the same delight, but it is still a fairly engrossing action film with slick fights and high-octane chases. The Accountant 2 is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video
