BLACKPINK's Lisa Hints At Heartbreaking Split With Kentaro Sakaguchi In Dream Short Film
Last Updated: Lisa and Kentaro Sakaguchi's Dream short film portrays a bittersweet romance ending in heartbreak, releasing August 13. BLACKPINK's Lisa is stepping into the world of emotional storytelling with Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi, confirming their much-speculated collaboration. After months of dating rumors and curiosity about their bond, the duo will now share the screen in a short film based on Lisa's solo track Dream, from her 2024 album Alter Ego. The official trailer, released on August 12, offers a glimpse into a bittersweet romance that ends in heartbreak. Earlier promotional material showed Lisa embracing a man wearing a matching couple ring — a hint now confirmed to be Kentaro Sakaguchi. 'We ended, just like that. All good things must come to an end, and so did we. Nothing in this world can rewind time. So all I could do was to just look at you. One last time. I couldn't do anything." The visuals show Lisa and Kentaro as a blissfully happy couple, sharing tender and joyful moments. But as the story progresses, their relationship transitions into silence and distance. Despite his desire to stop her from leaving, Kentaro's character is powerless — marking the core of the heartbreak portrayed in the short film. Dream Short Film Release Date and Expectations Fans believe the storyline may have been inspired by personal experiences, adding to the intrigue surrounding the project. The cinematic trailer hints at a deeply emotional narrative that pairs Lisa's poignant track with striking visuals of love lost. Set against a dreamy backdrop, the Dream short film captures the progression of a relationship from passion to separation, reflecting themes of nostalgia, longing, and acceptance. Lisa's performance, paired with Kentaro's emotional depth, is already drawing praise from fans across the globe. Dream is scheduled for release on August 13 at 11 PM ET, and anticipation is high among BLINKs and drama lovers alike. Whether inspired by real life or purely fictional, this short film looks set to become one of the most talked-about K-pop visual projects of the year. view comments First Published: August 13, 2025, 03:31 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

War 2 Advance Booking: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR Actioner Sells 78,000 Tickets In Hindi Chains
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 sells 78K Hindi tickets with a day to go, aiming for a Rs 30–35 crore opening day. With just one day left for its grand release, War 2 is making solid strides at the box office in India. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the high-octane action drama stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles. The Hindi version's advance bookings have been performing well, with momentum picking up after ticket sales opened in the southern states. In the top cinema chains — PVRInox and Cinepolis — War 2 has already sold 78,000 tickets for its Thursday opening, with the final figure expected to land between 1.5 to 1.75 lakh tickets. This strong pre-release response sets the stage for an opening day in the Rs 30–35 crore net range for the Hindi version alone. Telugu States Bookings Begin Strong for Jr NTR Fans In the Telugu-speaking states, bookings for War 2 have started on a promising note, largely driven by Jr NTR's fanbase. While the numbers won't match typical Tollywood blockbusters — given the film's positioning as a Bollywood project — they remain 'pretty solid." Industry trackers predict that the Telugu-dubbed version could secure the third-highest Bollywood opening in the region, behind Saaho and Adipurush. The Independence Day holiday on Day 2 offers a major boost opportunity, with War 2 aiming for Rs 50 crore-plus net collections in Hindi on Friday. The film's clash with Rajinikanth's Coolie wasn't initially considered a major concern. However, Coolie's strong pre-release momentum in certain markets has slightly tightened the race. International Bookings Off to a Moderate Start While domestic sales are encouraging, War 2's international advance bookings remain modest. Current estimates point to a USD 2.5 million opening day and USD 8 million opening weekend overseas. Globally, the film is tracking for an opening weekend in the Rs 300–350 crore range. By comparison, Coolie appears on course to approach Rs 400 crore worldwide. With massive star power, slick action, and the backing of a major franchise, all eyes are now on audience word-of-mouth. Positive reviews could be the key factor that pushes War 2 towards record-breaking numbers both domestically and internationally. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
