I thought ki jo small town hero hota hai na, unke humesha lambe baal hotey hai. The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, toh waha se ye aaya tha.' Yes, you read that right — Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the People's President, was one of the inspirations behind that look!

This 1 hour 43 minutes film is ruling on OTT, climax will give younightmares, has no big actors, movie is..., lead actor is...
If you're a horror movie fan and looking for something bone-chillingly different this weekend, there's one film that deserves your attention — and your sleep. This movie doesn't just scare you while watching — it makes you afraid to fall asleep afterwards. Because the horror here begins inside your dreams . No big stars, no heavy promotions — just pure, unfiltered terror that's now taking OTT platforms by storm. We're talking about… We're talking about Insidious , the 2010 supernatural horror film directed by James Wan — a filmmaker known for redefining fear with eerie silence, dark suspense, and spirits that don't just haunt… they hunt . The film centres around the Lambert family and their son Dalton, who mysteriously falls into a coma. But this is no ordinary medical case — his soul is trapped in a sinister dimension known as The Further , a realm crawling with restless spirits desperate to take over his body. To rescue him, the family turns to a gifted paranormal expert, Elise Rainier. What unfolds is a terrifying journey through shadows, whispers, and the kind of imagery that stays with you long after the screen goes dark. From spine-tingling jump scares to skin-crawling tension, Insidious delivers horror that runs deep. It doesn't rely on gore — it plays with your mind. The cinematography and haunting background score are so powerful that even a quiet hallway or a creaking floorboard feels like a warning. What makes the film even more impressive is its success story. Made on a modest budget of $1.5 million (approx. Rs 12.5 crore), it went on to gross over $100 million (Rs 835 crore approx.), making it one of the biggest horror hits in its category. And now, over a decade later, it's finding new life and fresh fans on streaming platforms. The popularity of Insidious gave rise to a full-blown franchise, with sequels like Insidious: Chapter 2 , Chapter 3 , The Last Key , and The Red Door . Each entry explores a new corner of The Further , offering fresh horrors for fans who dare to continue. Streaming on… If you're into psychological horror with a supernatural edge, Insidious is the perfect weekend pick. Available now on Netflix and Prime Video — but consider yourself warned: once you watch it, even your dreams won't feel safe.

Six years on, Sandeep Reddy Vanga marks ‘Kabir Singh' anniversary with gratitude and reflection
Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga took to social media on June 21 to commemorate six years since the release of Kabir Singh, the polarizing blockbuster that redefined Bollywood's approach to romantic storytelling. Sharing a nostalgic poster of Kiara Advani soaked in Holi colors, Vanga captioned the post with a simple message: 'Thanks for the love, 6 years for Kabir,' tagging lead actor Shahid Kapoor, music composers, and producers. Released on June 21, 2019, Kabir Singh was the Hindi adaptation of Vanga's own Telugu cult hit Arjun Reddy. While the film courted significant controversy for its depiction of toxic masculinity and emotional volatility, it simultaneously achieved staggering commercial success. Grossing over $40 million worldwide, it became the ninth highest-grossing Indian film of its time. Shahid Kapoor's portrayal of Kabir, a hot-headed surgeon spiraling into self-destruction after heartbreak, drew both critical acclaim and backlash. Despite the polarizing reactions, Kapoor earned a Filmfare nomination, and the film ultimately shifted the perception of romantic heroes in Hindi cinema—from idealized lovers to flawed, emotionally charged individuals. Kabir Singh's continued relevance owes much to its availability on streaming platforms like Netflix, where it continues to attract both new viewers and fresh debate. A 2023 University of Mumbai study cited the film as a turning point that challenged conventional romantic narratives, placing inner turmoil and psychological complexity at the heart of its story. As Vanga prepares for upcoming projects like Animal, his acknowledgment of Kabir Singh's anniversary underscores the film's enduring legacy. Love it or loathe it, Kabir Singh remains a cultural touchstone—provocative, impactful, and very much a part of India's cinematic conversation.
