Sandipta Sen and Niranjan Mondal unite in gripping crime thriller Birangana
A haunting crime thriller is set to make waves with
Birangana
, a gritty and emotionally charged original series that brings together intensity, intrigue, and a fierce social undercurrent. Starring
Sandipta Sen
in a trailblazing role and marking the OTT debut of Niranjan Mondal, the series is helmed by director Nirjhar Mitra.
The newly released announcement video sets a chilling tone. Amidst torrential rain and a traditional wedding house, chaos erupts as a lifeless bride lies in the middle of a stunned crowd. Enter Sub-Inspector Chitra Basu, played by Sen, who cuts through the panic with a steely calm and silent rage. As the scene unfolds, Chitra's voice narrates the horror — brides are being murdered, each in a disturbing, ritualistic pattern.
'What have these brides done?' she asks, the question echoing against the thunder.
The mystery deepens when Chirayu, portrayed by Niranjan Mondal, appears among the bystanders — a brooding figure whose quiet presence hints at something far darker.
Nirjhar describes
Birangana
as 'a confrontation of silences and systems that suppress.' Sandipta Sen calls her character 'fierce, flawed, and constantly fighting to be heard in a world that wants her silent.'
With its powerful narrative, striking visuals, and layered characters,
Birangana
promises to be one of the most compelling Bengali series of the year — a story of defiance, mystery, and the hidden horrors behind closed doors.

Shah Rukh Khan, Jawan And ChatGPT: How A Social Media Spat Turned Into An AI Showdown
The recent announcement that actors Shah Rukh Khan and Vikrant Massey will share the National Film Award for Best Actor has sparked a heated debate on social media, with a significant portion of the discussion focusing on the choice of Shah Rukh Khan for his role in the blockbuster film Jawan. The online discourse, however, took an unexpected turn when a key counterargument was revealed to have been generated by an AI chatbot, raising questions about the authenticity of opinions and the role of AI in public discourse. The controversy began with a post from the social media handle @theskindoctor, which argued, "Shah Rukh Khan doesn't deserve the National Film Award for Best Actor for a masala film like Jawan." The user elaborated, "Shah Rukh is a good actor; he should've gotten the award for films like Swades, Dil Se, or Chak De! India. But not Jawan? What precedent are you setting by rewarding a messy action film?" This post drew a detailed response from another user, @Thread_Sutra, who countered, "Totally disagree... The National Award is meant for excellence in acting, not just for those who do 'patriotic' or 'serious' films. Shah Rukh Khan delivered an incredible, powerful performance in Jawan, bringing depth, versatility, and mass appeal to the character." The comment further stated, "Awards should go to those who bring their roles to life-regardless of genre. Let's not gatekeep talent by sticking to outdated notions of what 'deserves' recognition. A great actor shines in every kind of role, and SRK proved exactly that. It's about acting, not just the subject." Ok. — THE SKIN DOCTOR (@theskindoctor13) August 1, 2025 The comment from @Thread_Sutra quickly gained traction and became a central point in the ongoing debate. However, the original poster, @theskindoctor, later shared a screenshot revealing that the entire response had been generated by ChatGPT with the simple prompt: "Write a strong counterargument aagainst this." The original poster's curt reply of "OK" to the revelation has since ignited a fresh and more profound discussion. This new development has shifted the conversation from the merits of Khan's performance in Jawan to the ethics and implications of using AI to formulate public opinions. Social media users are now debating the authenticity of the "thoughts" expressed online and the potential for AI-generated content to influence or even dominate discussions. "Everything everywhere seems like it was written by a mockery... I predict it will soon die its own death when everyone will stop believing what's written or expressed online...," commented a user. "People still don't know how to use ChatGPT. What are you trying to say here? He replied to your tweet; he solved his main purpose, which was to reply and give a contrary view. That is. Ab bhai, vo ChatGPTuse kare ya apne bhai se puche ya perplexing. Usne apna kaam kardiyaa," wrote another user.

Exclusive! Genelia Deshmukh on the role of South cinema in shaping her career and her thoughts on love stories
Genelia Deshmukh After over a decade of consciously stepping back from the spotlight following the 2012 release of Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya to focus on family life, Genelia Deshmukh is embracing a new chapter — one shaped by motherhood, maturity, and a rekindled love for cinema. In a conversation with BT, the actress, who was recently seen in Sitaare Zameen Par, opens up about evolving with time, the role of South cinema in shaping her career, and why mature roles need more screen time. 'Riteish and I continue to do things that we always enjoyed doing together' Genelia, who has been married to Riteish Deshmukh for 13 years, says marriage evolves with time. She shares, 'A lot changes post marriage. People forget that you're going to change at 30, 40 and 50. You're not going to be 20 all your life, and I think that's the issue in most relationships. You expect the person to stay the way they were at 16. Riteish and I know we aren't in our 20s, but we continue to do things that we always enjoyed doing together. We liked going out for dinners a lot, but with children around, it gets tough. So, once a week, we go to a coffee shop, hold hands and talk. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was The Dream Girl In The 1980s, Here She Is Now. Boite A Scoop Undo That's our idea of romance.' 'Earlier, the perception was that Bollywood dropouts make it big in the South' Today, pan-India films are seeing actors from Bollywood being cast alongside South actors. Genelia, who made her film debut in 2003 with Tujhe Meri Kasam, did South films from the early days of her career. About the current pan-India trend, she says, 'I don't know why it took so long. I did it very early in my career, and I did it with pride. I just wanted to do good films; it was never about pitching one above the other. Earlier, the perception was that Bollywood dropouts make it big in the South. I've done some of my best work there. I thought my first film would be my last, and then I would take up a 9-5 job. But then I got a lot of work in the South and started falling in love with acting because of South cinema.' Talking about her break from movies, she says, 'During the last 10 years, I did special appearances whenever my friends asked me to. I also did Trial Period, which was an OTT project and Mister Mummy. I am happy that a film like Sitaare Zameen Par came my way.' 'I'm a different person now, but I still have that madness in me' Genelia admits that this phase of her career feels different from her early years in the industry. 'I'm a different person now, but I still have that madness in me. I'll always want to keep the child in me alive. At the start of your career, you have to make sure you do things that really work. Now, I want to do a horror film. I want to do action. It all depends on what filmmakers are writing and what you are being offered,' she says. ' Love stories aren't just for the young' The actress is hopeful the industry keeps pace with changing narratives and embraces more mature female characters. She says, 'I wish we would write more stories about women who are in their 30s, 40s or 50s. There are so many dynamics to that, which is interesting. Love stories aren't just for the young. Why isn't there a love story of a 30-year-old girl or a single mother? Love doesn't happen only when you are in college. I don't think I could play a good mom on screen if I weren't a mom in real life. I think you bring nuances to the screen when you actually live it. Which is why I say that actors should be cast as per the demand of the role and not because of their Instagram following or because they are number one, two or three.'

ChatGPT goes deeper than you would expect — 7 tricks you probably didn't know existed
ChatGPT is a great productivity booster for many people and most workplaces these days are embracing the power of artificial intelligence in order to get more done. But you don't always have to keep things serious with ChatGPT. There are plenty of fun and imaginative ways to use the chatbot, from imagining alternate realities, simulating personal timelines, or building entire worlds from scratch. Here's a list of 7 things you can try next time you're feeling bored or just pretending to look productive at work. Have you ever wondered what if gravity was half as strong or time flowed backwards? Well, ChatGPT might be the answer to your curiosity itch as one can use the chatbot to generate an alternate version of Earth where some laws of nature are different and explore how society, technology, and different relationships in that world would play out. Don't like the ending to your favourite movie or TV show? We've all been there, but thankfully ChatGPT can come in to replace those alternate storylines and all the rumoured drama on Reddit threads. Instead, ChatGPT can rewrite only the part you don't like—say what if Iron Man didn't die at the end of Avengers or what if Ben Solo didn't die and he and Rey got to rebuild the Jedi Order together? If you want to go a little more wild, you can even ask the AI to reframe a famous movie from a different point of view. For instance, think about The Dark Knight being told from Joker's perspective or Harry Potter seen through Draco's lens. Is there a dull document that you are trying to go through—say your Wi-Fi provider's terms of service or your office's HR policies? There is a way you could make going through these documents a little more fun by asking ChatGPT to turn them into a fairy tale, a bedtime story or even a Shakespearean play in order to mingle learning with a bit of fun. If you really want to let your imagination run wild, there is one way to do it. You can simply ask ChatGPT to create a fictional country with a culture, language, economy and laws and then simulate what happens if this country goes to war. This could be a separate world just created by you where you can ask ChatGPT to create news bulletins, resistance movements and propaganda posters. You can ask ChatGPT to create a fictional political candidate running for Prime Minister or even your local elections with a detailed background, manifesto and scandals. You can even use the chatbot to create a fake press conference by this candidate or them having a debate in the TV studios. While we may never know for sure if we're living in a virtual simulation, you can definitely turn your own life into a video game with a little help from ChatGPT. Just ask the chatbot to cast you as the lead character in a video game and watch it build out character stats, side quests based on your daily routine. You can even ask it for potential cheat codes, and even alternate endings to this game. Have you ever wondered what advice you'd give to your younger self or what your 80-year-old future self might say to you today? While you may never get the exact answers, ChatGPT can help you explore those conversations in surprisingly personal ways. By training the chatbot with a few samples of your writing and enabling the memory feature, you can prompt it to generate replies in your own voice. You can now ask it to simulate messages from your teenage self, a wiser older version of you, or even a parallel universe version.
