Maalik Teaser Review: Rajkummar Rao's gangster drama has strong hangover of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, Read details
After Bhool Chuk Maaf, Rajkummar Rao has transformed into a terrific and violent gangster in Maalik. Directed by Pulkit, Maalik is an upcoming action drama that is expected to set new bars for the actor. The makers have released the trailer on their respective social media handles, and fans cannot help but hail it as a 'blockbuster.' Rao appears deadly, bloody, and cunning, one can't take eyes off him. While fans are more than excited for the film, here's how Maalik delivers vibes similar to Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. When Animal was released in theaters, one of the factors that made it an instant hit among the audience was the way violence was displayed on the big screens. From bloodshed to deadly fight sequences, the movie pushed the boundaries of violence in Indian cinema. And now, Maalik is giving similar vibes! The teaser shows a glimpse of how gritty the Rajkummar Rao starrer will be. Rao has embraced a ruthless gangster persona and his brutal transformation is worth every penny. From the opening scenes of the teaser to the massy dialogs, Maalik will undoubtedly offer intense action. So, there is no second thought about Rajkummar Rao being as ruthless as Ranbir Kapoor's Rannvijay in the Pulkit directorial. Also, both Animal and Maalik lead them down paths of aggression and dominance. These flicks cannot be tagged merely as action dramas as they are more complex. Just like Animal, Maalik also aims to show the inner conflict of men. Well, the former was a game changer for the Indian film industry, hence, we expect the latter to deliver similar thrill and madness. Talking about the Maalik teaser, it features Rajkummar in a never-seen-before avatar. Set in Allahabad, it follows a gangster who rises through the ranks of the criminal underworld and establishes his dominance. His thick beard look has added more reality to his daring role and his transformation has wowed netizens. Backed by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani, the movie is slated to hit the big screens on 11 July 2025. Besides Rajkummar, it also stars Manushi Chillar and Prosenjit Chatterjee.

Roadies XX: Gautam Gulati and Neha Dhupia's fight turns ugly; Rhea says, 'Neha chhoti si baat pe lad jaayegi hamare saath'
After the explosive vote outs that saw a jaw-dropping eight contestants getting eliminated, emotions are running high, alliances are shattered, and loyalties are hanging by a thread. Neha's gang, battered and bruised but still standing, manages to revive themselves with great difficulty — but the storm is far from over. Just when the Roadies think they've earned a moment to breathe, a scroll arrives under the cover of night—completely catching them off guard. Tasks usually come with the morning sun, but this midnight twist sends a clear message: nothing about this journey is going to be normal anymore. It's time for the next task, and today, it's all about alliances. But after the bloodbath that the last vote out turned into, will the alliances still hold or are new betrayals on the horizon? In a surprising twist, Elvish extends a hand to Neha, asking to reforge their alliance — even though it was Neha's gang that suffered the biggest blow when their so-called allies abandoned them in the last vote out. Watching the drama unfold, Rhea can't resist adding fuel to the fire, as she says, 'Double cross toh kiya hai inki alliance ne Neha ki Gang ko kal. Jab pehli baar unke paas immunity nahi thi, alliance ne saath nahi diya! Normally toh Neha chhoti si baat pe lad jaayegi hamare saath, so I am just assuming ki yahan bhi woh kuch karegi.' What will Neha choose though? The question looms — will Neha forgive and forget, or is she planning a bigger revenge? As decisions are made, Rhea says, 'Kahin na kahin Neha darr gai!' throwing a sharp, unapologetic taunt at Neha's seeming hesitation. But the real fire is just about to ignite. Rannvijay ups the stakes — asking Gang Leaders to pick one contestant they believe can win the finale and give them direct immunity right away. In the middle of this heated moment, Neha and Gautam's simmering tension boils over. In a shocking and downright nasty comment, Gautam says, 'I feel having a brain with her is a luxury, honestly!' This insult is too much. Neha loses it. She storms off the sets, leaving Rannvijay and the others stunned. Rannvijay rushes after her, trying to bring her back, but the damage is done. The atmosphere is electric with anger, betrayal, and pure chaos. When Neha finally returns, the fight escalates further — Prince jumps in, against Neha, and soon the sets turn into a battleground of words. Alliances crumble, friendships fracture, and the tension is very thick. No matter how broken things are, the task must go on. Both alliances begin the task with 15K Roadiums each. Each team has to untangle themselves from a giant mess of cables, work together to pass a potli from one player to another, and finally score it into their own goal. Each time the opposition scores the sack in your goal, the value of that sack drops from your Roadiums. It's a fierce, sweaty battle of strength, speed, and survival — because the winning alliance will snatch all the immunities from the losers and walk away victorious, while the Roadiums that remain with them could change their fate in the game. Just when they think it's over, Rannvijay throws one more penalty shoot-out twist, giving Gang Leaders a last chance to save their Roadiums. But Roadies isn't Roadies without a bigger bomb dropping. The very next day, Rannvijay calls each Gang Leader individually for what he teases as the biggest double cross opportunity yet — and trust, it's about to get even messier. In a jaw-dropping moment, former Roadies contestants walk back into the game. And now, it's time for an all-out Roadiums auction ! Each Gang has three empty spots to fill — but there's a catch: they must recruit at least one girl and one guy. To get the Roadiums needed, Gang Leaders are forced to make brutal calls as they must release some of their current gang members. Friends are betrayed, emotions run high, and the sets turn cutthroat as Gang Leaders battle it out to buy the best returning Roadies. As Rannvijay watches the drama unfold, one thing is clear — This isn't just another task. It's war. Who will be double crossed? Who will be bought, who will be sold? And more importantly — who will walk out of this bloodbath stronger and who will be left with nothing but regret? One thing's for sure — this episode is pure Roadies madness at its finest.

Mumbai: The latest episode of the adventure reality show 'MTV Roadies Double Cross' saw the allegations of bribery being levelled against gang leader Prince Narula and his wife, Yuvika Chaudhary.

Aur maine kisi ko nahi bola ki mera bhai aa raha hai please dekhna, khud auditions de aur aa'. Then contestant Dayali claimed that someone told her Siwet, Roadie from last year, got in only after finding contact with Prince's wife, Yuvika. Prince's patience snapped, he said, 'Dekho mere tak baat hoti na, mai kuch nahi bolta, but ab tumne meri wife ka naam liya hai'. Things took an even wilder turn when Siwet was called in. Then Rakesh, the original source of the claim was called. He completely refuted the money angle. His statement exposed the entire story as a tangled web of rumours and false claims.
