Samyuktha Menon immerses herself in nature

Actress Samyuktha Menon, admired for her calm demeanor and minimalist style, recently surprised fans by swapping glamorous getaways for a soul-soothing trekking adventure. The Virupaksha star embarked on a serene yet slightly challenging journey through a lush green forest, culminating in a visit to the iconic Living Root Bridge—a remarkable natural wonder crafted from the roots of ancient trees. The forest trail, with its vibrant greenery and tranquil ambiance, offered a stark contrast to her usual film sets. While some fans expressed concern, given the recent spate of natural calamities, Samyuktha appeared completely at ease, savoring every moment of the trek. She was even spotted reclining on a tree branch, basking in the quiet and letting the stress of shoots melt away. Her choice of attire reflected both practicality and understated charm— a simple black t-shirt, khaki trekking pants, and pink trekking shoes. The outfit was perfect for navigating roots, rocks, and muddy paths while still maintaining her signature effortless style. Each frame from the trip captured her seamless connection with nature, proving that elegance isn't limited to red carpets. Despite a packed schedule with upcoming projects in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil cinema, Samyuktha carved out time for this nature retreat. Her trek not only showcased her adventurous spirit but also served as a reminder of the rejuvenating power of disconnecting from the hustle and reconnecting with the earth.

Coolie worldwide box office collection day 2: Rajinikanth film crosses ₹250 crore, is 2025's highest-grossing Tamil film

Coolie worldwide box office collection: Rajinikanth has still got it. Coolie is the proof! The superstar, at age 74, may just have given his biggest hit yet. On Independence Day, Coolie capitalised on the holiday to register another bumper day at the box office. The film has now powered its way past the ₹250 crore mark worldwide, becoming the first Tamil film to do so this year. Coolie worldwide box office collection day 2: Rajinikanth headlines this Lokesh Kanagaraj film. Coolie worldwide box office report Usually, South films fronted by superstars open big and then see a huge dip on day 2. This happens as fan clubs scramble to watch their idols' films on opening day, a trend unique to the four South industries. But due to the Independence Day holiday and solid word of mouth, Coolie was able to keep that dip down to a mere 17%. The Lokesh Kanagaraj film has now earned ₹118.50 crore net ( ₹145 crore gross) in India in its first two days. Coolie has also been hugely successful overseas. It registered a $8.75 million gross overseas on day 1, the highest for any Tamil film in history. On day 2, this collection saw a dip on account of August 15 not being a holiday outside India. However, trade estimates say that Coolie's total overseas collection in 2 days should be above $13 million ( ₹110 crore). This takes the film's worldwide haul past the ₹250-crore mark in just two days. Coolie becomes the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year For years, it has been argued that one of Ajith Kumar or Vijay has 'taken over' the mantle of numero uno star in Tamil cinema from Rajinikanth. But if Coolie's performance has shown something, it is that Rajinikanth still reigns supreme. In just two days, Rajinikanth's Coolie has surpassed the lifetime collection of both of Ajith's releases this year - Vidaamuyarchi ( ₹138 crore) and Good Bad Ugly ( ₹248 crore). In the process, Coolie has also surpassed other notable Tamil hits of the year, like Dragon ( ₹150 crore), to become the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. And it has done all this before its first Saturday. If Coolie can maintain its momentum over the weekend, then the sky is the only limit for the Rajni film. Trade pundits estimate that the film could cross ₹400 crore in its opening weekend itself, and make a beeline for the all-time Tamil record - ₹691 crore by Rajni's 2.0. All about Coolie Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie features Rajinikanth in the titular role, leading a large ensemble cast that also includes Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Upendra, along with Aamir Khan in a cameo.

Karan Johar says there's 'directors' crisis' in Bollywood, says Hindi filmmakers ‘emulate south and fall flat'

Filmmaker Karan Johar has never shied away from tough industry conversations, and in a recent interview, he addressed what he sees as Bollywood's biggest creative gap, the inability to mount large-scale mass action films. Speaking on The Streaming Show podcast with Suchin Mehrotra, Karan admitted bluntly, 'It is a director crisis. You can't think of more than a name or two. There isn't anyone, because that entire generation spent their time watching a different kind of Hindi cinema.' He explained that filmmakers who grew up on romance and globalised storytelling struggle when it comes to creating 'front-footed testosterone cinema. ' According to him, 'They emulate it and fall flat on their face.' Learning from the South Karan pointed to the roaring success of Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada directors who have mastered the event-film format. From SS Rajamouli's epic sagas to Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's high-voltage storytelling and Prasanth Neel's action spectacles, filmmakers from the south have redefined mass cinema in India. Karan has often been vocal about his admiration for their craft, admitting that Hindi filmmakers find themselves in a position where they are constantly calling to appreciate southern films, rather than the other way around. A call to go back to roots Despite this criticism, Karan sees hope in Hindi cinema's own unique strengths. Referring to 'Saiyaara' as an example, he said, 'Probably, we don't have the directors to mount those kinds of films. So, if we can't, then thank God for Saiyaara. This, we can do.' He recalled filmmaker Mohit Suri sharing how southern directors called him to praise his work, a rare reversal of roles. Meanwhile, the recent action flick in Bollywood was the Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR starrer 'War 2' which is receiving mixed reviews.
