Squid Game 3 ending: 7 burning questions answered in Netflix thriller finale; future possibilities explored
Squid Game wrapped with Season 3 dropping on June 27. The Lee Byung Hun, Lee Jung Jae-led Korean thriller may not return for another season, but it hints at a spin-off, possibly an American one. Since the finale aired, Hwang Dong Hyuk's direction has drawn mixed reactions, with many fans let down by how things ended, especially some characters who felt completely pointless and Gi Hun's fate undoing everything he fought for. The tagline teased how low humanity can sink, and sure enough, survival came at a brutal cost. We got a winner, yes, but not much closure. So here we are, breaking down all the loose ends that still need answers. Also read: Squid Game Season 3 ending explained: The truth about Gi Hun's fate, the mystery woman, and all survivors While some viewers are still holding on to theories that Gi Hun might be alive, there's no real possibility. The core message of the show has already been delivered. The economic divide, the dehumanisation, and Gi Hun's final words, 'We are not horses. We are humans'. were aimed at those enjoying these brutal games, using people as pawns for their entertainment. He makes the ultimate sacrifice in the final round, choosing to throw himself off the tower rather than kill the newborn. But yes, it's safe to say his sacrifice will trigger another story, a fresh web of entanglements. Because nothing really ends here. In the final moments, we see In Ho, aka the Front Man, ordering the island's self-destruction and escaping with Jun Hee's newborn. Cut to a few months later, he's spotted in LA, visiting Gi Hun's family. So yes, Front Man survived and vanished. Jun Ho failed. But what's loud and clear is this: In Ho isn't done. His next move, possibly tied to a global expansion of the Game, is already being teased. Also read: Squid Game Season 3 review: Brutal games and bigger moral dilemmas make you pause and reflect The Latin phrase 'hodie mihi, cras tibi' ('today it's me, tomorrow it will be you'), the words written on the dormitory walls, sugegsting, the game is far from over. Korean writing '사람 조심 바보' ('Beware of people, idiot') teasing player 333 betrayal '안전 제일' ('safety first') was ironically written at the final game. Player 456's game timer reads '4:56' just before Gi Hun manages to eliminate the other player. The 'blacklist players' binder that No-eul skips, hinting that more is yet to come. The original mastermind, Oh Il Nam, is long gone. The Front Man, once a winner himself, now runs the show. In Ho survives Season 3, and as the story gears up for a spin-off, a new player steps in. Cate Blanchett's mystery woman is seen recruiting new players, playing Ddakji, hinting at a new organisation pulling the strings. Meanwhile, operations in South Korea have shut down. After 2 years of digging through islands, Detective Jun Ho finally tracked down the betrayer, Captain Park, and landed on the right one, just as the game wrapped up. But before he could act, Jin Ho gave the order to blow up the island and bailed. Jun Ho and No-eul made it out, but the entire Korean operation went up in smoke, with the Front Man wiping out every trace. So, yeah, the authorities failed again. Still, with spin-offs teased, Na Eul might've already cracked open a lead that changes everything. They appear to have evaded justice for the most part. We saw the VIPs enjoying the deaths and betting on contestants, but towards the end, it seems like they managed to escape. Unconcerned about being caught, they were seen gulping down drinks, which shows continued power and the difficulty of exposing such a powerful, clandestine organisation. There is a big possibility, and it makes sense, given Cate Blanchett's role was a treasure in the very last part as a recruiter, suggesting the operations will now be shifted to America. Earlier, in an interview with talk show host Jimmy Fallon, actor Lee Byung Hun, who plays the Front Man, teased a possibility of a spin-off featuring his character. So either we get that, or the story shifts oversees with Lee continuing his role.

Mistry Review: Ram Kapoor Impresses As Ex-Cop Battling OCD, Mona Singh Holds Her Own
Last Updated: Mistry Web Series Review: Ram Kapoor stars in the JioHotstar series, a Hindi remake of Monk. He plays Armaan Mistry, an ex-Mumbai Police officer with OCD, solving crimes. Ram Kapoor always finds a reason to make a place for himself in the spotlight. On some days, he hits the news for his jaw-dropping transformation, and during others, his purportedly sexually inappropriate and offensive remarks during events. However, setting his personal life aside, we must admit that Ram Kapoor is a phenomenal actor, and he proves it once again with his latest JioHotstar web series, Mistry. Ram Kapoor lets his work do the talking as Armaan Mistry, an ex-Mumbai Police officer, who solves special cases led by Mona Singh's (ACP Sehmat Siddiqui) team. He can 'smell' the culprits (quite literally) at the crime scene, often leaving his team amazed at his predictability. However, where he falls short (or not) is his battle with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), a disease that we mostly take lightly or make fun of. Torn between daily crime cases and the death of his wife due to targetted bombing, Mistry's life revolves around solving crime, backed by his secretary, Shikha Talsania. How he deals with crime, while battling his OCD, spans across the eight episodes. Touted to be a crime-comedy, Mistry is the official Hindi remake of the American superhit series, Monk. Ram Kapoor takes on the titular character and does a fantastic job at it. OCD is a psychological problem. How do you convey it on screen so effectively that it leaves the audience with that itch? The credit must go partly to the writers and of course, Ram himself. Every time Ram Kapoor appears on the screen, he is exposed (and disgusted) by the imperfection of the world outside. He is easily distracted by the window blinds while discussing his health, and worries about a possible gas leak at his house as a murder victim lies lifeless in a pool of blood. There's an uneasiness to the character that Ram Kapoor brings out with perfect finesse. While the outside world is a chaotic mess for Mistry, his home, with neatly folded ties and shirts hanging at perfectly equal distances, speaks volumes about his character. In fact, by the end of the series, it is almost hard to imagine Mistry played by anyone else but him. Then there is Mona Singh, who takes on the role of a cop. Female actors playing cops on screen isn't new, but then again, that is the challenge – how do you ensure people remember you? The key is not to let your uniform overpower your character. And who better than Mona to know the tricks of the trade! Oh, and there is a subtle Laal Singh Chadha jibe too. Shikha Talsania is one of the first characters to appear on the screen in Mistry. All she does at the beginning is help Mistry calm down when OCD grapples him from all corners. And you are left wondering why would she opt for a role that just nods with her boss in agreement? Scene by scene, her character unfurls on the screen and before you know it, she becomes one of the most prominent characters of the show. Mistry is also very cleverly made, and we have to give director Rishab Seth the credit where it's due. It's considerably easier to make a point in an action-thriller – there's visible action, something tangible for the audience to see and gauge. But conveying emotional intelligence on screen is a true challenge. For instance, one of the first cases Mistry solves is that of a double murder with links to politics. During a roundtable meeting about the murder, Mistry notices a whiteboard scattered with pins of various colours, marking important business locations. OCD takes over and Ram Kapoor aka Armaan Mistry starts arranging the pins on the whiteboard by their colour and size. The room stops to take notice of the absurdity. A tug of war over the whiteboard causes all the pins to fall off. Furious, someone yells at him asking him to simply do his job, which is, to solve a murder. But Mistry promises them that the pins will be marked exactly where they were and starts doing the job. With each second, everyone in the room gapes in wonderment for Mistry takes the pins back to their original location within seconds of noticing the board in the first place. A prodigy sure, but the makers or Mistry? We'll leave the decision upto you. Mistry has minimal setbacks. At times, the protagonist's OCD tends to overshadow the crime scenes, which might be of greater interest to the audience. As the saying goes, too much of anything isn't good. After establishing the psychological aspect, the makers could have avoided letting it dominate the key crime moments, which were likely more engaging. In the later episodes, it feels as though the creators were intent on highlighting the OCD first, and only then shifting focus to the scene itself – a choice that occasionally comes across as tiresome and unnecessary. But what's life without overlooking the negatives and focusing on the good? Trust us, Mistry will give you such opportunities in bounty. All in all, if you have been rooting for a show that will make you laugh, think and bite your nails at the same time, Mistry is worth every ounce of your valuable weekend time.

Katy Perry shares her 'mood' in first post after her split from Orlando Bloom
Washington DC [US], June 28 (ANI): Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have called off their relationship. American singer-songwriter has shared her first social media post since the news of her split from Orlando Bloom emerged, reported People. A source confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple, who got engaged in 2019, have decided to part ways. Sharing her "mood," the singer, 40, posted a carousel of photos on Instagram from her day at Rottnest Island in Australia on Friday, June 27. Her visit to the nature reserve came a day after a source confirmed to People that the longtime couple had called off their nearly 6-year engagement. Among the collection of photos shared was Perry posing alongside a quokka before later spotting a chocolate version of the animal in a shop. She also shared a video of herself being surrounded by birds on the beach and embracing "brain rot" with her team while on a boat. Perry appeared in good spirits in all of the photos and clips taken just hours before she was set to perform in Adelaide as part of the sold-out Australia leg of her Lifetimes tour. "mood: Quokka," the "Hot N Cold" musician captioned the post. According to National Geographic, the "teddy bear-sized marsupial" is only found in southwestern Australia and is considered the "happiest animal in the world." Perry's reference to feeling like a quokka comes after it was confirmed that she and Bloom, 48, are going their separate ways after nine years together, reported People. On Thursday, June 26, a source told People, "They're pretty much done," adding that they "don't really see them being able to turn things around here." The pair, who met at a Golden Globes afterparty in 2016, got engaged in 2019 and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove on Aug. 26, 2020. Bloom is also a father to son Flynn Bloom, 14, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, reported People. While Perry has been in Australia for her tour, Bloom has been in Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish wedding festivities. The actor has been spotted hanging out with Tom Brady, attorney, Alex Spiro and Kris Jenner's boyfriend, Corey Gamble, along with Kris, 69, and her daughters Kim and Khloe Kardashian, reported People.
