James Cameron is one happy man. The filmmaker, whose latest film ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ has surpassed the $1.9 billion mark at the worldwide box-office, recently revealed major plot details about what’s in store for viewers waiting for the upcoming sequels in the Avatar franchise.

The filmmaker recently attended the Critics Choice Awards 2023 and dropped insights about what fans could expect from ‘Avatar 3’. To the fans’ surprise, James Cameron revealed that the element of fire and two new cultures would be introduced in the upcoming sci-fi film installment.

Pathaan, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles, is slated to release on January 25. The film, which will be a Republic Day week release, has a lot riding on it. But even before its release, the film has recorded a cinema first. Can you guess what it is?

Well, as per reports, Pathaan will be the first film ever to be screened at 9 am at Gaiety Galaxy on its release day. The theatre, on regular days, holds its first screening of the day at 12 pm.

SS Rajamouli is one happy man. The director’s magnum opus film RRR has won yet another international accolade and has made the country proud. RRR won two awards at the Critics Choice Awards 2023, including Best Original Song and Best Foreign Language Film.

Dedicating the award to the women in his life, SS Rajamouli’s winning speech has been going viral on social media. The filmmaker was also quoted as saying ‘Mera Bharat Mahaan’ in his acceptance speech for the Best Foreign Language film award.

The makers of Pathaan released its trailer and the fans seem to be highly disappointed. While it is garnering tons of love and raising curiosity, there are some fans who are just not happy with the trailer. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in the lead, the movie revolves around saving India from a deadly attack planned by Pakistani terrorists. 

Shah Rukh Khan fans expected a lot more from the Pathaan trailer and somehow, it failed to impress them. While some pointed out the poor VFX, others thought Pathaan was a blend of Mai Hoon Na and War. With every action movie becoming a low-quality rendition of Mission Impossible, it is difficult to say whether the movie is going to perform well at the box office or go south. 

What would Rama Rajamouli and MM Srivalli be discussing the next time they air the Kanjeevarams they draped for the big night at the Golden Globe 2023? Hypothetically speaking, perhaps they will take a trip down memory lane about the momentous occasion and how worthwhile it was to choose those heritage silks for the event. That's the beauty of Indian weaves and crafts you see. They carry with them not just the history of lineage and evolution, but the lustrous folds also get embedded with special stories of the owner's life journey.
