Sikandar OTT Release: When And Where To Watch Salman Khan's Actioner
Last Updated: Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna's action-packed film Sikandar is all set for its OTT premiere. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film starts streaming on Netflix from May 25, 2025. Salman Khan fans, get ready to stream some high-octane action at home! Sikandar, the Bollywood superstar's only theatrical release of 2025, is finally making its way to OTT. On Saturday, Netflix India announced that the film will be available to stream on their platform starting May 25 — much to the excitement of Bhai's loyal fanbase. Netflix shared the announcement on Instagram with the film's striking poster and the caption, 'Suna hai bohot log Sikandar ka intezaar kar rahe the? Sikandar aa gaya hai Netflix par raj karne (We heard many of you were waiting for Sikandar? Well, he's here to rule Netflix)." The post quickly gained traction, with fans flooding the comments section, expressing their eagerness to watch the film again — or catch it for the first time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Directed by acclaimed filmmaker AR Murugadoss, Sikandar follows the journey of Sanjay Rajkot, a modern-day 'raja' who finds himself entangled in a web of political corruption. As he takes on a crooked politician and a system that thrives on fear and deceit, the film builds toward an epic clash of justice, power, and personal vengeance. Joining Salman in this mass entertainer are Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj in significant roles. The film weaves together gripping action sequences, larger-than-life dialogues, and emotionally charged moments — all hallmarks of a classic Salman Khan film. Despite mixed reviews upon its theatrical release, Sikandar delivered a powerful performance at the box office. It crossed ₹100 crore in domestic collections and raked in over ₹200 crore worldwide. However, in the context of Salman's blockbuster legacy, some critics noted that the film underperformed compared to his previous mega-hits. The movie received a rating of 3.5 stars from News18 Showsha, which praised Salman's commanding presence and the film's crowd-pleasing energy. 'Whether he's cracking punchlines, delivering power-packed action, or simply walking into a scene, Salman owns the screen. Sikandar is unapologetically crafted for his fans, and it delivers on that promise with style," the review stated. Sikandar also generated buzz for its vibrant soundtrack, adrenaline-pumping chase scenes, and lavish production scale. The film's visuals — particularly the stylised fight sequences and grand set pieces — were widely appreciated by audiences and are expected to translate well on the OTT screen. For those who missed catching it in cinemas, the Netflix release offers a chance to experience the grandeur from the comfort of home. And for those who already watched it, this is an opportunity to relive the cinematic drama, one roaring dialogue and action scene at a time. So mark your calendars — Sikandar begins streaming on May 25, only on Netflix. Prepare for drama, thrill, and Salman Khan in his full glory, ready to take over your screens all over again.

Returns Are Gaining Momentum At DFCITY Group Berhad (KLSE:DFCITY)
Did you know there are some financial metrics that can provide clues of a potential multi-bagger? Typically, we'll want to notice a trend of growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and alongside that, an expanding base of capital employed. Ultimately, this demonstrates that it's a business that is reinvesting profits at increasing rates of return. So on that note, DFCITY Group Berhad (KLSE:DFCITY) looks quite promising in regards to its trends of return on capital. Our free stock report includes 3 warning signs investors should be aware of before investing in DFCITY Group Berhad. Read for free now. For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. The formula for this calculation on DFCITY Group Berhad is: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.033 = RM2.1m ÷ (RM85m - RM22m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024). Thus, DFCITY Group Berhad has an ROCE of 3.3%. In absolute terms, that's a low return and it also under-performs the Basic Materials industry average of 7.0%. See our latest analysis for DFCITY Group Berhad While the past is not representative of the future, it can be helpful to know how a company has performed historically, which is why we have this chart above. If you want to delve into the historical earnings , check out these free graphs detailing revenue and cash flow performance of DFCITY Group Berhad. Shareholders will be relieved that DFCITY Group Berhad has broken into profitability. While the business was unprofitable in the past, it's now turned things around and is earning 3.3% on its capital. On top of that, what's interesting is that the amount of capital being employed has remained steady, so the business hasn't needed to put any additional money to work to generate these higher returns. That being said, while an increase in efficiency is no doubt appealing, it'd be helpful to know if the company does have any investment plans going forward. So if you're looking for high growth, you'll want to see a business's capital employed also increasing. To sum it up, DFCITY Group Berhad is collecting higher returns from the same amount of capital, and that's impressive. Considering the stock has delivered 24% to its stockholders over the last five years, it may be fair to think that investors aren't fully aware of the promising trends yet. So with that in mind, we think the stock deserves further research. If you'd like to know more about DFCITY Group Berhad, we've spotted 3 warning signs, and 1 of them shouldn't be ignored.

AI-driven ‘Akar' to shape finance talent
Rooting for growth: (Second row) PayNet Akar senior director Jun Maria Abdullah Tan (fifth from left), Farhan (ninth from left) and Si (10th from left) at the launch. TO future-proof the financial services industry, continual efforts must be made to build a pipeline of digitally skilled, industry-ready talent. In response to this need, Program Akar – a national talent development initiative by Payments Network Malaysia (PayNet) – was recently expanded with a new phase focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and data science. Designed around a three-pillar curriculum, the programme will welcome 100 participants in its first cohort – starting with 25 students from Multimedia University (MMU) and expanding to 75 students from other local universities by the end of the year. The first pillar of the curriculum focuses on values-driven enrichment, which involves cultivating leadership, integrity and a future-ready mindset. The second pillar covers digital payment knowledge, including the evolution of money, banking systems, digital payments and transaction security. The third pillar centres on AI and data science mastery, combining foundational knowledge with critical thinking and real-world applications. Program Akar was launched in collaboration with Amazon Web Services in July last year, with a focus on digital payments and cloud technologies. This second instalment, which broadens the programme's focus to include AI and data science, is powered by Microsoft as part of its 'AI for Malaysia's Future' (AIForMYFuture) skilling initiative. The event, which kicked-off on April 25, was attended by PayNet group chief executive officer Farhan Ahmad, MMU Market Exploration, Engagement and Touchpoint vice president Prof Dr Zulfadzli Yusoff, and Microsoft Malaysia managing director Laurence Si, who shared insights into the importance of future-ready talent in Malaysia's journey towards a digital economy. Farhan said Program Akar is about more than preparing students for jobs – it's about preparing them to lead Malaysia's digital economy with purpose. 'At PayNet, we see talent development as national development. By equipping our youth with future-proof digital skills and connecting them to meaningful industry opportunities, we're strengthening Malaysia's financial ecosystem and building long-term economic resilience,' he said in a press release. Si said AI is transforming every role in every industry, including financial services. 'By collaborating with PayNet through Program Akar, we're helping to build a generation of talent equipped with the digital and AI skills to thrive, in line with Microsoft's AIForMYFuture initiative,' he said. MMU student Amir Hibban Amir Herman, who is part of the first cohort, said being selected for the programme 'feels like a big step forward'. 'It's not every day you get the chance to learn about AI and digital payments from real industry leaders. I'm excited to see how this can shape my future and help me find my place in Malaysia's digital economy,' he said. Program Akar is part of PayNet's broader commitment to shaping a future-ready Malaysia. Through the programme, students will gain hands-on learning, mentorship and job placements within Malaysia's leading financial institutions.

Also seen is Bonnie Bunyau Gustin (fourth right) who received the National Para Athlete of the Year. KUCHING (May 14): Amateur Tenpin Bowling Association of Sarawak (Abas) president Sunny Si Poh Heng created more history for Sarawak tenpin bowling when he received the National Sports Leadership Award at the National Sports Awards (NSA) 2024 at Dorsett Grand Subang in Subang Jaya, Selangor yesterday. After becoming the first Sarawakian to be elected as the Malaysian Tenpin Bowling Congress (MTBC) deputy president in September last year, Si became the first ABAS president to receive the National Sports Leadership Award from Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeo at the awards ceremony. Among those present at the ceremony were Deputy Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu, Minister for Welfare, Community Wellbeing, Women, Family and Childhood Development Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah and Deputy State Secretary (Operations) Hii Chang Kee. 'I am deeply honoured and proud to be nominated … I wish to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Sarawak State Sports Council (MSNS) for the gracious nomination and to National Sports Council (MSN) for their kind endorsement,' he told The Borneo Post. Adding on, he said the recognition would not be possible without the support and encouragement of the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MYSED) and the Sarawak Sports Corporation (SSC) whose commitment to the development of sports and leadership continues to inspire and empower individuals across the nation. 'I am profoundly grateful to MTBC and Abas for entrusting me with the opportunity to serve and contribute within the sport I hold so dearly,' he added. Si has helmed Abas since 1988 and served as MTBC deputy president since 2024 and vice president from 1996 to 2004. He has also been Sarawak Sports Corporation management board committee since 2016 and MSNS management committee from 2008 to 2017. He had served as assistant chef-de-mission for tenpin bowling from Sukma V (1994) to XXI (2024) at the state level, and technical officer and team manager to the SEA, Asian and Commonwealth Games at the national level.

Jesinta Franklin has embraced ‘mum style', but you won't see her in these
What's your fragrance of choice? Giorgio Armani 'Si' and D.S & Durga 'I Don't Know What', which isn't meant to be worn as a perfume – it's a fragrance enhancer – but I do and it's amazing. What are the three essential items in your wardrobe? My favourite P. Johnson Femme jeans, a Camilla and Marc blazer and a good, oversized white tee – I like Acne Studios, Incu and Uniqlo. Any go-to jewellery? Tiffany 'Link' earrings, an Apple watch with a Hermes band, and my engagement ring. Can you remember a favourite outfit you wore as a child? My clothes were from the op-shop or made by Mum, so I had quite an eclectic style. I remember a pair of purple velvet flares that Mum sewed fringing on. What was your first fashion moment? When I was about 13, my mum's friend Cynthia, who had effortless style and wore Birkenstocks before they were cool, bought me a pair of op-shop men's dress pants that I wore using a necktie as a belt. What was your worst fashion mistake? The whole Miss Universe era [Franklin won Miss Universe Australia in 2010] was terrible from a style perspective, but I look back on it fondly; it's part of who I am. What's on your wish list? A vintage, floor-length coat. Is there something you would never wear? I'll wear them for shoots, but I don't feel comfortable in short skirts or short shorts. Is there a current trend you like? I'm less trend-focused and more interested in quality pieces that I'll still be wearing in my 60s. What shoes do you wear most often? Birkenstock 'Arizona' slides, Adidas 'Samba' sneakers and Tkees leather thongs. Who's your favourite fashion icon? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley always gets it right. And Princess Di was the ultimate icon. I love how she used her clothes to rebel, tell a story and make a statement. What do you wear on a typical working day? It might be Phoebe Philo for Celine high-waisted pants with a knit, and burgundy Amina Muaddi pointed toe flats. What do you wear to work out? Your Reformer ribbed seamless leggings and crop top – they're so flattering and supportive.
