Feminists’ or Frauds? Bigg Boss Fans Call Out Tanya Mittal & Neelam Giri’s Body-Shaming Remarks Against Ashnoor

In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 19, contestants Tanya Mittal and Neelam Giri were criticized for body-shaming fellow contestant Ashnoor Kaur.

The Calm Before the Storm: Prabhas’s Silent Fury in Prashanth Neel’s Salaar

Salaar, a true-blue action epic by Prashant Neel, is characterized by over-statement, fear, and commercial cinema. The film's aesthetic overkill is accentuated with black clothes, emotions, action, score, performances, styling, and background acting. However, the hero is dialed down and almost non-existent. On the occasion of Prabhas' 46th birthday, it's worth reflecting on why this performance feels underdiscussed in his post-Baahubali filmography. Salaar is a Telugu action film featuring a protagonist named Deva, played by Prabhas. Deva is a passive observer, displaying deafening focus and restraint. His emotions and vulnerability are hidden beneath the restraint. Mahendra Bahubali, the most popular character, is replaced by Deva, a coal miner and mechanic in a remote Assamese villag...
