Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor have a close friendship, as evidenced by their recent collaboration in Stree 2 where Varun made a popular guest appearance. The two actors have also worked together in Street Dancer 3D. At a promotional event for the film, Varun joked about how Shraddha frequently alters plans at the last second and playfully likened her sudden phone voice changes to those of Hema Malini.

As a movie enthusiast, I find myself drawn to the revolutionary world of streaming media, which gained significant traction since Netflix’s platform debuted in 2007. Intriguingly, by June 2024, it’s been estimated that more than 40% of family homes have dedicated television sets solely for using these services, outnumbering both broadcasting and cable services in popularity. Staggeringly, a whopping 83% of North American households are reported to subscribe to at least one streaming platform, with the average American spending approximately 3 hours and 6 minutes daily on streaming media in 2023 (according to Exploding Topics). The rise of streaming has undeniably changed the way we consume films and television, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this captivating medium.

In the meantime, let’s look forward to the upcoming revival by Karlie Kloss and husband Josh Kushner of Life magazine. On August 27th, you can buy Taschen’s “Life. Hollywood” – an impressive collection of over 600 images from the glamorous world of Hollywood, curated from the archives of the iconic photography magazine, covering its Golden Age (1936-1972).

Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar were a groundbreaking writing team during their era, collaborating on more than 22 box-office hits until they went separate ways in 1982. In an exciting development, this dynamic duo is coming together once again for a docu-series titled “Angry Young Men,” which will air on Prime Video. The project’s director, Namrata Rao, recently discussed the venture with ANI and revealed that despite their split, both families have maintained a strong bond over the years.

As a dedicated gamer and Netflix enthusiast, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment when my favorite shows get the chop. It seems like Netflix has this knack for canceling shows swiftly, often after just one or two seasons. Over the past year, they’ve made some moves that have resulted in several of their originals being on the list of shows ending in 2024. Now, it appears another series has joined those ranks. While I wasn’t expecting it to last forever, at least it managed to make it past the first season.
