Sara's blue-bow moment turns heads
Sara Ali Khan, once hailed as Bollywood's promising new face after delivering early hits like Simmba and Love Aaj Kal, has recently faced a string of underwhelming films, particularly on OTT platforms. However, the young actress continues to make headlines—this time not for her films, but for her fashion statement. At a recent event, Sara wowed fashion watchers in a light blue strapless mini-dress that balanced elegance with a playful twist. The dress featured a clean and structured front that flaunted her toned figure, paired with sparkling heels and subtle earrings. Her neatly pulled-back hair accentuated the neckline, giving her look a breezy, contemporary finish. The real show-stealer, however, was the oversized bow at the back—an unexpected, dramatic element that added flair to the otherwise minimalist outfit. The look was red-carpet ready, capturing both style and simplicity in one silhouette. On the work front, Sara is gearing up for Metro… In Dino, a slice-of-life comedy-drama helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu. The ensemble cast is packed with seasoned actors like Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Ali Fazal—making it a challenging space for Sara to stand out. Yet, the film could offer her the perfect opportunity to redefine her trajectory and prove her mettle amidst veterans.

The music director Pritam, along with singers like Papon and Shashwat Singh, were also present to celebrate the launch.

Meanwhile, Pankaj and Konkona's characters enjoy a beach outing, sharing tender and sweet moments. Directed by Anurag Basu, the film delves into the complexities of bittersweet relationships set against a modern backdrop, showcasing the different shades and emotions of love.

Romeo S3 Movie Review: A formulaic masala fare that lacks focus
Story: DCP Sangram Singh Shekhawat (Thakur Anoop Singh) sets out to take down a deadly drug cartel in Goa. But when he crosses paths with a vengeful mafioso, the mission spirals into a deeper conspiracy—one that threatens the entire nation. Review: Director Guddu Dhanoa's action thriller follows a fiery cop, Sangram, who goes undercover to infiltrate a drug cartel and expose its masterminds. At the same time, he is investigating his mentor's murder and grows convinced the two cases are connected. The story takes an unexpected turn, unfolding into a larger conspiracy involving a deadly virus—its only antidote in the hands of the self-proclaimed 'monster' mafioso, Jayant Makhija (Aman Dhaliwal). In the midst of this chaos, Sangram must also rescue investigative journalist Tanu (Palak Tiwari) after she's abducted by Jayant and his father. Written by Shailesh Verma, the film is an out-and-out potboiler that suffers from a formulaic plot, an unfocused screenplay, and a meandering narrative. It's riddled with unexplained plot points, underdeveloped characters, and implausible twists—like Sangram's transfer being stalled simply because a video of his vigilante-style justice against rapists goes viral. Despite the below-par narrative, the film's first half maintains an even pace and keeps you somewhat engaged as Sangram outsmarts the cartel. The film's production values and overall look are serviceable, even if not standout. There are a few well-choreographed action sequences, though the film leans heavily on the tried-and-tested formula of slow-motion entries, car chases, and blowing up vehicles. The narrative is further weighed down by a one-sided love angle, with Tanu falling for Sangram, and songs that interrupt the flow. Thakur Anoop Singh handles the action scenes well and has a decent screen presence, though his characterisation and performance often echo Ranveer Singh's Simmba. His emotional moments, however, don't always land. Palak Tiwari is passable as Tanu, but her character is severely underwritten, and she never quite convinces as an investigative journalist. Aman Dhaliwal enters in the second half and is excessively over-the-top as the menacing Jayant. With too many plot points crammed into a single narrative, most of them unconvincing and half-baked, the film loses focus and impact. While a few action sequences manage to grab your attention, they aren't enough to salvage the overall experience. Romeo S3 tries to deliver a massy action thriller but ends up as an over-the-top masala fare with little payoff.

Amaal Mallik on cutting ties with his parents, claims the decision brought them closer: ‘Parents wanted me to be like brother Armaan Mallik, had to express myself'
Singer Amaal Mallik has successfully flown under the radar for most of his career, until earlier this year when he decided to announce on social media that he was cutting ties with his family, which consists of his brother, singer Armaan Mallik, and parents composer Daboo Mallik and his mother, Jyoti Mallik. Since then the singer has been putting in work in the indie circuit, and he recently opened up about his decision to move away and highlighted why it was important for him to do so. While talking about his out-of-the-blue decision to TOI, the singer pointed out that this distance with his family has actually brought all of them together. He said he had been holding on to a lot of feelings for a long time, and needed to get them out. He said people are hesitant talking about their family and problems on social media, but he felt relieved after opening up to the world because sometimes you can be misunderstood even by the people who are the closest to you. ALSO READ: 'Ranveer Singh would work for 22 hours during Simmba because he was getting married, apologised to everyone when he was 2 minutes late,' recalls co-actor Amaal mentioned how he has always felt that his family was like one unit, but he still felt that his family weren't able to understand a lot of what he was going through and admitted that even he might have been a little aloof to their needs. He revealed how many of his fans wondered why he wasn't making more music or stepping away from his family. According to Amaal, his parents were also taken aback by the decision, but in hindsight, it turned out to be good for them, and brought them closer to each other. The singer also talked about people's tendency of keeping their parents on a pedestal, and said that one should realise that they are just humans and are as likely as anyone to make mistakes. Amaal posted this announcement back in March, and in the post, the singer called out his parent for certain actions which drove a wedge between him and his brother Armaan. He said, 'The journey has been terrific for the both of us, but the actions of my parents have been the reason we as brothers have gone too far from one another, and all of this has made me step in for myself, as it has left a very deep scar across my heart.' Just days after his estrangement from the family, Amaal was spotted in a picture posted by his brother of his registered marriage, where he could be seen posing alongside Armaan and his wife, Aashna Shroff.
